I am developing a website for a client (ASP.NET, T-SQL). It is a data-entry website allowing many of their users to login and manipulate records in the same database. There are instructions (basically a list of string) throughout the form, telling the users what to do for each section; these instructions are themselves present in the da...
We've got a set of forms in our web application that is managed by multiple staff members. The forms are common for all staff members. Right now, we've implemented a locking mechanism. But the issue is that there's no reliable way of knowing when a user has logged out of the system, so the form needs to be unlocked. I was wondering if th...
For instance, on most blogs you can click on an article and it will take you to the article without refreshing the banner at the top or the navigation bar. I always thought that this was done with javascript, but I found that these websites still work even when I disable javascript. Similar questions were asked here and here and the an...
How can I response a 403 status code? I was following some example which had this: raise webapp.Error(403). So I thought that this would give me a 403 but it just gives me a regular 500 server error instead. This is complete example: def administrator(method): ''' credit: http://github.com/btbytes/teh/blob/master/utils.py...
Hi all, I develop web applications and I always used client/server databases (like MySQL) to store the application data. I would switch to an integrated DB engine like SQLite. I have a question. What happens if I have for example 1000 users visiting the web site and typing text in a textbox with suggestions (lots of request to the serv...
We have a web application and it uses System.Web.UI.Page.User.Identity to determine who the current user is. We are experiencing an intermittent problem, where a user is not recognized (their identity is blank or empty). Anonymous authentication is disabled so I don't see how they can fully access the web application without it recognizi...
This feels like a really basic question, but I haven't been able to find an answer. I would like to read data from an url, for example GET data from a querystring. I am using the webapp framework in Python. I tried the following code, but since I've a total beginner at Python/appengine, I've certainly done something wrong. class MainPa...
I configured my web server to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. I used openssl to generate an X509 certificate and private key. When I connect using FireFox it warns me of an "Untrusted Connection" and allows me to add an exception to continue. When I connect using my iPhone's Safari web browser it does the same thing. I hit accept to the secur...

I have a really simple J2SE app that consists of a couple of classes. I plan to make it available to my co-workers, and I've been thinking the easiest way would be for them to access it from a browser, instead of distributing the executable on each machine. What's the easiest method/framework that would allow me to do this? This app is ...

We've got to pick a language and a framework to build it on, but we're not really sure where to start. There are literally a zillion options.

At work we are always having numerous problems with our x.509 certificates that we use for https and I was wondering is there a useful alternative for securing the communication between a server and the browser. Edit Could also be that we are using IIS x.509 and WCF ...
I saw this in a HTML template for a web app: <img alt="mybutton" src="/img/button.png?123456789" /> What I didn't understand was why the ?123456789 would be passed to the image file? (in the actual app, the number that was actually passed seemed to be customized to the user's session or unique id perhaps) ...

Ruby I guess could be Ruby on Rails (I don't know if that qualifies), but for Windows is IIS and the .NET runtime the application server in the Microsoft World? The other languages had to come up with what Windows has by default with IIS and the .NET framework? edit: ...
I am a student of std.7 and learning GW-BASIC in school. BASIC doesn't suit my needs and other languages will start from std.9 I can't wait that long (I'm sick of BASIC). I am trying to choose some other good programming languages. (I know this question is silly) Desktop Application Programming and Web app design are my main goals. I d...

It is used for authentication by the API and every customer site is assigned one token. The customer token is actually some hashed value of the domain name...
Today if i login into g-mail.after 3-4 days also i could see my account without logout.
