What is RFC
I think there are a lot of people out there unaware of RFC. I know what they are at a logical level but can anybody give a good description for a new Developer? Also some resources on how to use and read them would be nice. ...

How do I suggest a change to the HTTP standard?

RFC documents to A4 format
When printing RFC documents on my A4 format printer I noticed that I print more than it is considered to be one page in RFC document. I figure this is because probably RFC is written in North American paper letter format (216 × 279 mm) and I want to use ISO A4 format (210 × 297 mm). Info on Paper size. So my question is if there is some ...
SAP .NET Connector: System exception thrown while marshaling .NET type...
My app sends lots and lots of data to SAP. To di this, it builds up an SAP table object and sends it over. I get this error somewhat regularly, but not reliably: System exception thrown while marshaling .NET type 20081219 to RFCTYPE_BCD at SAP.Connector.Rfc.RfcMarshal.NetFieldToRfcField(Object src, RFCTYPE type, Encoding encoding, By...
RegEx to parse or validate Base64 data
Is it possible to use a RegEx to validate, or sanitize Base64 data? That's the simple question, but the factors that drive this question are what make it difficult. I have a Base64 parser that can not fully RELY on the input data to follow the RFC specs. So, the issue I face is maybe b64 data that is not broke into 78 (I think it's 78...
Why is it so important for CR and LF to appear together in Email?
From http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html: CR and LF MUST only occur together as CRLF; they MUST NOT appear independently in the body. We have a web service that sends out confirmation emails, but one of our users pointed out that this does not adhere to the rfc2822 standard. So my question is, why is it important for CR and ...
ABAP RFC Debugging
Hello! I'm a ASP.NET and ABAP developer. For years, I used RFC's to communicate with ASP.NET using SAP .NET Connector. During the integrated tests, sometimes we need to debug a RFC that has been called from ASP.ENT, just because the bug we are facing does not happens at SE37. So, everytime I needed to debug the RFC, I just inserted: ...

What's the best way for the client app to immediately react to an update in the database?
What is the best way to program an immediate reaction to an update to data in a database? The simplest method I could think of offhand is a thread that checks the database for a particular change to some data and continually waits to check it again for some predefined length of time. This solution seems to be wasteful and suboptimal to ...
RFCs for content-type header?
I've looked @ rfc 2231 and 2183. Dealing with a multipart/related mime payload. I'm trying to decypher if the following is syntactically correct, specifically the "start" attribute for the first Content-Type, but I haven't been able to find the correct RFC. Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="=_34e1b39f5c290f66360ff510d4c38da4";...
How to overcome root domain CNAME restrictions?
We are hosting many web applications for our customers. As is obvious they want to use their own domains to refer to those applications, usually they want that any user that either type http://www.customer1.com or http://customer1.com goes to their web application. The situation we are facing is that we need to have the flexibility to ...
Is there a semi-standard way to associate a URL with an IRC user?
I'm in the process of doing some identity consolidation, so I'm providing URLs to me at various locations on the internet. I'm quite active on IRC, so this naturally lead me to wonder whether there was a way to provide a link to my IRC presence. This lead to me finding http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt which app...

What is the behavior difference between return-path, reply-to and from?
On our mailing application we are sending emails with the following header: FROM: [email protected] TO: [email protected] Return-PATH: [email protected] The problem that we are facing is that some email servers will bounce back a message immediately and use the from or reverse path ([email protected]) instead t...
Is WCF appropriate for implementing legacy network services?
I use the term network services to refer to things such as NNTP, IMAP, POP3... things which have a defined protocol layered on top of TCP/IP. I'm having a very difficult time figuring out how I can connect to an existing network service using a WCF client. I haven't found any examples other than ones that are basically using C#-ified s...

Request for comments: What should the syntax be to include code snippets in Markdown? (from external files)
I've been using Markdown recently. One of my biggest problems with Markdown is that Markdown has no syntax for including files within a document (vs., say, the listings package for LaTeX). I'd like to extend Markdown to support including whole and partial files as code snippets. For instance, it could look like this: ![:include src/fo...
