I am currently trying to get a response from a server that is using SSL in C#. I have the code to do this in Java, but it looks like they do not translate 1:1. I do have some code that I found that works for regular pages, but not for the one I need (maybe because of the SSL thing). Here is the code: WebRequest request = We...

I'm building a web service and have a node that accepts a POST to create a new resource. The resource expects one of two content-types - an XML format I'll be defining, or form-encoded variables. The idea is that consuming applications can POST XML directly and benefit from better validation etc., but there's also an HTML interface tha...
The Nabaztag I ordered has arrived. I know there is an API to interact with the critter from your own software. Have also seen links to libraries in Perl and .NET among others, and have started work myself on a simple .NET Compact Framework 3.5 library for interacting with the bunny from my mobile phone. I have seen at least one applica...
Is NAS / SAN + HTTP server a good solution for serving large number of static files over the internet? ...
I'm creating a Java socket in Javascript, sending an HTTP request and receiving a response correctly but I seem to be unable to detect an EOF or the server closing the socket at the end. What am I doing wrong? The problem is we never exit the outermost while loop - the server stops transmitting and (presumably) closes its end of the conn...
I understand the need for putting a web server in a DMZ and blocking inbound traffic to all ports except 80 and 443. I can also see why you should probably also block most outbound traffic in case the server is compromised. But is it necessary to block outbound HTTP traffic over port 80? If so, why? A lot of web applications these days ...
Is there any way (apart from HTTP authentication, which I gather is inherently insecure over the Internet?) for a "real life" website to handle logins and authentication rather than the traditional way, using session cookies? ...
A company I know is in discussions to firm up its password security policy across all its web application products. Right now they are sending username / password authentication in POST forms over HTTP, and thus, they are being sent plaintext. The simplest solution to the problem is simply to require HTTPS for logon across all our appl...
I'm trying to get some results from UniProt, which is a protein database (details are not important). I'm trying to use some script that translates from one kind of ID to another. I was able to do this manually on the browser, but could not do it in Python. In http://www.uniprot.org/faq/28 there are some sample scripts. I tried the Per...
I intend to write a simple HTTP proxy in Perl using the HTTP::Proxy module. I'm clear with the very basic task of how to create a proxy and basic filters and stuff. But what I cannot understand is how to manually force-serve a file through cache. Basically, the scenario is this that I run this proxy in computer A. The user on computer ...
Hi What is the difference between HTTP headers Content-Range and Range? When should each be used? I am trying to stream an audio file from a particular byte offset. Should I use Content-Range or Range header? Thanks ...
Is there a way to use WebDAV with J2ME (some libraries or manual coding)? I've tried: - javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection, but "SEARCH" method not supported there - javax.microedition.io.SocketConnection with Http request - nothing returns in response Maybe something wrong with my code or HTTP header: String response = ""; Strin...
What are the advantages (or limitations) of one over the other for transferring files over the Internet? (I am aware of secure forms of both protocols. I'd like to hear comparisons through personal experiences in terms of performance, reliability, file size limitations etc.) ...
hi, I intend on writing a small download manager in C++ that supports resuming (and multiple connections per download). From the info I gathered so far, when sending the http request I need to add a header field with a key of "Range" and the value "bytes=startoff-endoff". Then the server returns a http response with the data between th...
I am developing a PHP application that uses SQLite as database management system, MySQL and PostgreSQL etc. is not an alternative (although I would really like to use pgsql), because I want the setup to be very beginner-friendly and zero-headache alike. Now many people use a shared hosting, and alot of them only offer direct FTP access t...
