Here are the headers: Connection:keep-alive ...

My current application I am working on has following line at response fields: Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 I feel embarrassed. I am thinking about writing http module to cloak this field.

I have created an API that is used on several sites. The client sites call the server with either file_get_contents or curl and accesses a url of ours like "http://www.myserver.com/api/record.php?some=thing". The client makes the call and then waits for the API to respond before processing the rest of the page. However, some of the time ...

If a person clears their cookies and changes their IP address, is there ANY way for a website to identify that computer as a computer that has "been here before"? In other words, no identifiable information like MAC can ever be known over HTTP, right? (I've looked through the list of headers and only see cookies and user-agent). Also ...

Hello, after several months having the site disappear from search results in every major search engine, I finally found out a possible reason. I used WebBug to investigate server header. See the difference if the request is HEAD or GET. HEAD Sent data: HEAD / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.attu.it Connection: close Accept: */* User-Agent: WebBug/...
I have this PHP file: <?php header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8'); ?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="hello world example" /> <Content type="html"> <![CDATA[ Hello, world! ]]> </Content> </Module> I would expect it to return a Content-type:text/xml header.

Hi guys, So I am having this problem wit my download link. Basically my previous way of creating download link is to just have a form button with method='link' and the action to be the link to the file. This works for firefox and others but not safari. For some reason, when the user tries to download the file (excel file) from safari, ...
