On a website, I enter some parameters in a form, click on search and then get a page with a message "retrieving your results".

I'm implementing a prototype of a RESTful API using ASP.NET MVC and apart from the odd bug here and there I've achieve all the requirements I set out at the start, apart from callers being able to use the X-HTTP-Method-Override custom header to override the HTTP method. What I'd like is that the following request... GET /someresource/1...

Im trying to improve the Java Html Document a little but i'm running into problems with the HttpUrlConntion. One thing is that some servers block a request if the user agent is a Java VM. Another problem is that the HttpUrlConnection does not set the Referrer or Location header field. Since several sites use these fields to verify that t...
I was recently asked to "just stick a link at the top" of one of our sites to offer hand held users the use of http://stackoverflow.com">Google's Wireless Transcoder. Initially I was skeptical but as I started to look into it I became intrigued that this could save me a lot of work. Though I'd love to implement a hand held solution for ...
If you are connected to the Internet directly (and not through a proxy) and requests for a page (get/post) in Internet Explorer 7, the default time-out is 1 minute. If the response from the web server takes more than a minute then you end up getting a "Network error" from IE. How can I increase this timeout in IE? Microsoft has docume...

Further information: In my page, there's a random token that prevents reloading the site and posting the same information twice or more. If you now bookmark this page, the browser has to be instructed to r...

Hi, trying to add an ExpiresDefault ExpiresByType to content on my website so that way it is cached. I use cachebusting in the URL (a revision number in the path) for Javascript, CSS, and images so that way I can set it to forever for these mimetypes. I have the following rules set up in apache httpd: ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault...

I understand it's a standard practice to look at both these variables. Of course they can easily be spoofed. I'm curious how often can you expect these values (especially the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR) to contain genuine information and not just be scrambled or have their values stripped away? Anyone with the experience or statistics on this...

Say, I have JPEG file under /media/images/image01.jpg and I want that nginx serves this file in usua...

Hello all, I am downloading a file from another server. I wish to push this file to my users rather than saving it to my server. In other words, pass them the file handle so it just passes through my server and saves to their machine. How can I do this? I have this so far: $handle = fopen($_GET['fileURL'], 'r'); $filename = stream_ge...
