Implementing RFC 2369's "List-Unsubscribe" in PHP website - should I send confirmation?

I'm trying to implement RFC 2369's "List-Unsubscribe" in a PHP website which sends out daily updates by email. I'm planning to use the HTTP option only since this can be implemented simply in PHP code. My question is this: Once the user is unsubscribed, is it ok to send out a confirmation email, like "unsubscribe successful"? Or will t...

What is the editor used for writing RFC text files?

How do I compute an RFC 791 IP header checksum?

I am rolling my own IP packets for a teach-yourself-Ruby project, and need to compute the IP header checksum (as described in RFC 791 p.14). One of the related questions that popped up when I typed my question here pointed me at RFC 1071, so I'm probably most of the way there, but just to add to Stack Overflow, can anyone (possibly Futur...

Best way to document a packet protocol

I often find myself in the situation of wanting to write a breakdown of the protocol that some program (either my own or some other by reading its code or RCE) uses for its network communication, but there is just no standard on how to document the structure of packets in those. What I usually do is to write the protocol documentation w...

Where can I get an compact overview of RFC 2396?

Is it right to say that paths are represented as URI while web-addresses are represented as URL?

I am confused by Apple's documentation about the NSURL class. In NSURL, they say the following: NSURL understands URLs in style of RFC 1808, 1738 und 2732 NSURL understands URIs in style of RFC 2396 Also they say that the RFC 2396 URI are paths. Now what's the difference here? Isn't a path also an URL? I mean, it's an location or n...

"NOTICE AUTH" notifications when connecting to IRC server

As a learning exercise, I'm writing a Python program to connect to a channel on an IRC network, so I can output messages in the channel to stdout. I'm using asynchat and manually sending the protocol messages, rather than using something like Twisted or existing bot code from the net - again, it's a more useful learning experience that w...

Parsing forwarded emails

I'm writing some code to parse forwarded emails. What I'm not sure is if maybe there is some Python library, some RFC I could stick to or some other resource that would allow me to automatize the task. To be precise, I don't know if "layout" of forwarded email is covered by some standard or recommendation, or it has just evolved over t...

How can I connect to SAP from C# through the SAP NetWeaver RFC Library (sapnwrfc.dll)?

Our software is written in C# and needs to connect to SAP. As some of our customers use older versions of SAP, and others don't have SAP PI, we can't connect through webservices.
