What is the easiest way to submit an HTTP POST request with a multipart/form-data content type from C#? There has to be a better way than building my own request. The reason I'm asking is to upload photos to Flickr using this api: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/upload.api.html ...
Ok, so I want to force https/ssl on parts of my ASP.NET MVC site. Found lots of great sources including an ActionFilter here: http://blog.tylergarlick.com/index.php/2009/07/mvc-redirect-to-http-and-https/ Whenever I enable the ActionFilter however I end up in a redirect loop. The problem is that if I type https://www.mysite.com/ into th...
In Flex 3/AS 3, what would be a good way to check if a remote file exists? I'm thinking in PHP ways where you'd try to "fopen" a remote path (like "http://example.com/somefile.exe"), and see if it works or not. I'm not asking to just download all of the file, I just want to know if the file is there (and accessible). ...

This means a client browser "polls" for new info and the server does not respond until there is info to send back, so the HTTP connection is left open for a long time, up to a minute. My question is how many of these connections the server can handle ope...

This seems like a really simple task, so bear with me. I'm trying to extend a server which serves up files and webpages. Currently the server gets an HTTP request, parses it, and calls a function called sendFile: void sendFile(ostream& ostr, std::string filename) { std::ifstream ifs(filename.c_str(), std::ios_base::binary); os...

I'm wondering: if I were a a router, packet inspector, firewall, or other packet-sniffing device (which I'm glad I'm not) would I be able to tell the difference between a traditional HTTP request and an XMLHttpRequest? Less theoretically, is it possible that some ISP or (let's say) cell phone data provider could restrict XMLHttpRequest t...
I am stumped about this, so I thought I'd ask in case any of you have come across it, since HttpClient development is a little bit of an art. The problem I am facing is this: An application is using the Apache HttpClient Java library to communicate to a server in the same company network. Most of the time it works without a problem, bu...
