I wonder if it would be possible to save client state in an iFrame when going from one page to another in a RESTful application. Example: There is a navigation tree on the page and the user has elapsed and collapsed its nodes. When he clicks on a node the entire page changes, but the state of the navigation tree should be the same on t...

I found the quoted text in Programming Python 3rd edition by Mark Lutz from Chapter 16: Server-Side Scripting (page 987): Forms also include a method option to specify the encoding style to be used to send data over a socket to the target server machine. Here, we use the post style, which contacts the server and then ships it a strea...

I'm starting up a new embedded system design using FreeRTOS. My last one used eCos, which has a built-in HTTP server that's really lightweight, especially since I didn't have a filesystem. The way it worked, in short, was that every page was a CGI-like C function that got called when needed by the HTTP daemon. Specifically, you would ...

I'm working with a custom webserver on an embedded system and having some problems correctly setting my HTTP Headers for caching. Our webserver is generating all dynamic content as XML and we're using semi-static XSL files to display it with some dynamic JSON requests thrown in for good measure along with semi-static images. I say "semi...

I'm making http requests using winsock and I need to parse the html. The problem is that some sites I'm working with compress the html in gzip no matter what I specify in my request header. I've even tried downgrading the request to HTTP/1.0 with no success. So now I'm forced to actually decompress the gzip. However, Im having no success...
