Hello there, we're facing a weird and seemingly randomly appearing problem where the browser renders the complete, raw HTTP response (to a GET request) including all headers and the compressed content as text instead of just using the contents and rendering it. This happens for whole page loads as well as postbacks as well as page loads...
What's the easiest way to find the sender of a get request from apache? I keep seeing error logs that imply some page/application is sending a get request for a favicon file, which is nonexistent. I grep'd my entire webhost directory but not a single file in there is referencing this nonexistent favicon file. Is there a way to find out...
Using Apache, it is quite simple to set up a page that uses basic access authentication to prompt a user for a name/password and use those credentials in some way to grant access to that user. Is this secure, assuming the connection between the client and server is secure? ...
I am using this code: def req(url, postfields): proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "127.0.0.1:8118"}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support) opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')] return opener.open(url).read() To make a simple http get request (using tor as proxy). Now I would like to ...

Hi folks, I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 for these tests. I'm setting a cookie within the response headers of my web app using: Set-Cookie: session=7878dfdsfjsdf89sd89f8df9 This does not seem to override the session Cookie. When a request is performed instead Firefox even sends duplicate cookies: Cookie: session=7d75cd8f55895cbccb0d31e...

Hi I understand the basics of how ports work. However, what I don't get is how multiple clients can simultaneously connect to say port 80. I know each client has a unique (for their machine) port. Does the server reply back from an available port to the client, and simply state the reply came from 80? How does this work? ...
Thinking about REST, it's relatively easy to map HTTP methods to CRUD actions: POST for create, GET for read, etc. But what about "fire and forget" actions? What HTTP method would best represent a fire and forget action such as triggering a batch job (in which no response is sent back to the caller)? POST would spring to mind, but I th...

Server A handles the request and redirects the client to a URL on Server B (more specifically I am using the Response.Redirect method in .NET on server A). I have been asked to restrict access to Server B to redirects originating from Server...
Hello, I'm PHP developer and I know very little when it comes to https/ssl, but I would like to offer my client safest possible way of uploading file to webpage (i.e. webftp as part of client service on page). Which way should I look? Thank you in advance, I will clarify my question if needed. ...
I have to run a get request from a PHP script, but I'm in a fairly limited environment (tight firewalls, can't modify the PHP install, etc...). fsockopen() returns an error and http_get() seems to not be installed. The only other way I know of is to call file_get_contents(), which works OK, except for the fact that I need to set the re...
Hey everyone I am writing an app that posts XML to a webservice and am constantly greeted with a WebException claiming a HTTP 500 error on the server. Is there anyway to see the specifics of the error akin to the "unfriendly" error messages in Internet Explorer? The "See details" button doesn't seem to list the exact server response I...
Hello everybody, So basically I've ran my site through ySlow and it has informed me that I should add Expires headers to some of the elements on my page to help with the caching. The page is mainly static content currently hosted on an Apache/2 server. If it helps at all the site is here. I'm not really sure how you alter the HTTP i...
I have a Java client that uses HttpClient to connect to a server and wait a response. The response may return after a long time (the client essentially waits for an event from the server). Other than using timeouts, is there a way to detect when the server crashes? ...

I'm working on a Kerberos style cookie-based authentication mechanism for static files for the Nginx web-server (the cookie contains an encrypted string which much match with a sub-string in the URL, the sub-string is specified by a regular expression). The system does not require MITM security, and if it will we will probably just enabl...
