I have a web API that returns python dictionaries or lists as a response that I eval() in python scripts that use the API, for completness I wanted to set a proper content-type but not sure what would be best to use "text/x-python" or maybe "application/python", or something else? [edit] I'm also outputting JSON, I'm doing Python as an...

I don't want to use the HTTP::Proxy package because I want to dump out a couple requests. My one liner looks like this, but breaks on trying to pass the header in: perl -MData::Dumper -MHTTP::Daemon -MHTTP::Status -MLWP::UserAgent -e 'my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;my $d=new HTTP::Daemon(LocalPort=>1999);print "Please contact me at: <", $...
Right now we've got web pages that show UI elements, and web pages that just process form submissions, and then redirect back to the UI pages. They do this using PHP's header() function: header("Location: /other_page.php"); This causes a 302 Found response to be sent; according to the HTTP 1.1 spec, 302 is for cases where "The reques...

Hi All, I am building a PHP app in CodeIgniter. CI sends all requests to the main controller, /index.php. However, I don't like to see the index.php in the URL, so I've used mod_rewrite, as per the CI documentation. The rule is as follows: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(images|inc|favicon\.ico|index\.php|robots\.txt) RewriteRu...
Do web browsers send the file size in the http header when uploading a file to the server. And if that the case, then, is it possible to refuse the file just by reading the header and not wait for the whole upload process to finish? ...

Hello, How to choose the size of buffer (bytes that I read from or write to socket) for the maximum throughput when I'm implementing a low-level HTTP and FTP transfer? My application should transfer data with HTTP or FTP on connections varying from 130 Kbps to 3 Mbps (I know expected speed beforehand). Sometimes it's one way transfer, s...
I have a user who gets an error from ajax calls on our site. The error is pasted below. They get the error in FF3 Windows, but not IE. Based on some searching it seems this issue is often caused by the client protocol squid (you'll notice at the end of the error, squid is mentioned). My ajax code is the same used here: http://www.w3...
I'm automating a web application (the Mantis bug tracker) and I'm getting an interesting response header from it, called Refresh: HTTP/1.x 200 OK ... Refresh: 0;url=my_view_page.php It seems to be acting the same way that meta refresh does, and the meta refresh technique implies that it is an equivalent of a header in HTTP. Problem i...
We have a REST API which clients routinely POST and PUT data to. When they do this, sometimes they POST data which results in no change on our system. The POSTs and PUTs are well-formed, but they data they're sending is identical to the data in our database. When this happens, I've just found out that we're returning a 400 HTTP statu...
I have a j2me client that would post some chunked encoded data to a webserver. I'd like to process the data in python. The script is being run as a CGI one, but apparently apache will refuse a chunked encoded post request to a CGI script. As far as I could see mod_python, WSGI and FastCGI are no go too. I'd like to know if there is a wa...

I'm writing an app for Blackberry that was originally implemented in standard J2ME. The network connection was done using Connector.open("socket://...:80/...") instead of http:// Now, I've implemented the connection using both methods, and it seems like some times, the socket method is more responsive, and some times it doesn't work at...
I would like to make my application somewhat REST compliant. I am using Rails on the backend and GWT on the frontend. I would like to do updates and deletes. I realize I can do something like mydomain.com/:id/delete (GET) and accomplish the same thing. However, as I stated previously, I would like to have a REST compliant backend. T...
Is there any reasonable method to allow users of a webapp to download large files? I'm looking for something other than the browser's built-in download dialog - the requirements are that the user initiates the download from the browser and then some other application takes over, downloads the file in background and doesn't exit when the ...
