My question is about how to reply a HTTP 304 "Not Modified" when I receive both if-none-match and if-modified-since from a proxy/client request. From RFC 2616 secttion 14.26 ( http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.26 ): If none of the entity tags match, then the server MAY perform the requested method as i...
We host our web-service on a dedicated server. Sometimes (I'd say 1 out of 20) a response is not received from the server. That makes the browser fallback with time-out error. An important detail: the request is not logged by Apache in this case. There is no load on Apache, there are a lot of free memory and CPU power left. [UPDATE] I...
I'm currently playing around with a build / deployment script for minifying static resources. Following good practice I'd like to set an expire header far into the future for most of my javascript, stylesheet and images. To my question, when one or more of the static files has changed clients should ask for the newest version of the fi...

Is there a particular order in PHP to set HTTP headers with the header() function ? I mean for example must I call header('Content-Language: en'); before header('Content-Type: text/plain'); or whathever order will be OK.

If you look at the PHP doc help for function session_cache_limiter(), you will see that if the cache_limiter parameter is set to private or nocache the Expires HTTP header is set to a const date (Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT). I understand that this is a date in the past to avoid caching, but why this date/time in particular? It's not t...
I have a CGI script I'm writing that's handling a streaming file upload. I'm also using Apache. If a certain size limit is reached, I have the CGI script finish things up, then it sends an HTTP redirect and exit. What I'd like to have happen at this point is for Apache to close the connection. Instead, what Apache does is keep the co...

I'm pretty new to Log4Net (I used log4j), and I'm wondering the best strategy for sending error logs (on Error or Fatal Error) to a URI. The server's already set up and listening. I was going to risk re-inventing the wheel and extend the AppenderSkeleton class to create a POSTAppender. Is there any easier way to do it? ...
For our webservice, I wrote some logic to prevent multipart/form-data POSTs larger than, say, 4mb. It boils down to the following (I've stripped away all WebOb usage and just reduced it to plain vanilla WSGI code): import paste.httpserver form = """\ <html> <body> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/"> <in...
