I'm writing code that will run on Linux, OS X, and Windows. It downloads a list of approximately 55,000 files from the server, then steps through the list of files, checking if the files are present locally.

Basically, where in the packet do I look to tell when a HTTP packet is starting/ending? I can't seem to see any flags/fields in the TCP header that denote the start or end of the HTTP packet. ...
I've an application which receives and sends data (JSON) from/to a HTTP server via HTTP POST requests.

I'm working on a project that has "evolved" a small http/ftp library on top of ftplib/urllib/urllib2 from what was originally one function, and almost none of it was designed to be built upon. So now it's time to refactor kind of seriously, and I'd like to just switch t...

Hi How would I server side detect if the user of the webpage is a browser? The reason for detecting this is, that I'm storing statistics about visited pages and I don't want to store any statistics when the user is a crawler. So I'm not trying to detect which browser vendor. I only want a boolean answer, is the user a browser. I assum...

Does anyone know how to tweak the lo...
