I'm attempting to use an existing CAS server to authenticate login for a Perl CGI web script and am using the AuthCAS Perl module (v 1.3.1). I can connect to the CAS server to get the service ticket but when I try to connect to validate the ticket my script returns with the following error from the IO::Socket::SSL module: 500 Can't co...
I want to do what myopenid does -- once you've logged, you can click a button that generates you an SSL certificate; the browser then downloads this certificate and stores it. When you later go back to yourid.myopenid.com, your browser can use its stored certificate for authentication so you don't ever need a password. So my questions ...
What is the difference in terms of functionality between the Apache HTTP Server and Apache Tomcat? I know that Tomcat is written in Java and the HTTP Server is in C, but other than that I do not really know how they are distinguished. Do they have different functionality? ...
I would like to add the following MIME type to a site run by Apache: <mime-mapping> <extension>jnlp</extension> <mime-type>application/x-java-jnlp-file</mime-type> </mime-mapping> (That is the Tomcat format.)

On Mac OS X 10.5 I downloaded the latest version of Apache 2.2.9. After the usual configure, make, make install dance I had a build of apache without mod_rewrite. This wasn't statically linked and the module was not built in the /modules folder either. I had to do the following to build Apache and mod_rewrite: ./configure --prefix=/usr...
I'm running WAMP v2.0 on WindowsXP and I've got a bunch of virtual hosts setup in the http-vhosts.conf file.

When looking at a SSI printenv dump I see a variable URI_REQUEST. When reading the Apache mod_include docs I see DOCUMENT_URI which they define as "The (%-decoded) URL path of the document requested by the user." Anyone know the difference between the two? TIA. ...

This is easy enough with more dynamic sites with universal headers or footers but not for totally static html pages. I attempted to work round it by using a combination of Apache rewrites and S...
Are square brackets in URLs allowed? I noticed that Apache commons HttpClient (3.0.1) throws an IOException, wget and Firefox however accept square brackets. URL example: http://example.com/path/to/file[3].html My HTTP client encounters such URLs but I'm not sure whether to patch the code or to throw an exception (as it actually shoul...
I am running MAMP locally on my laptop, and I like to test as much as I can locally. Unfortunately, since I work on e-commerce stuff (PHP), I normally force ssl in most of the checkout forms and it just fails on my laptop. Is there any easy configuration that I might be missing to allow "https" to run under MAMP? Please note, I know that...
This is so strange. Today I discovered that my fresh installation of Apache HTTP Server is able to serve files from my C:\uploads\ directory. I have two folders in c:\uploads: c:\uploads\templates c:\uploads\sites Both folders contain testimage.jpg. I found that Apache will serve the files from the templates folder if I request - ht...

I have a few sites on a shared host that is running Apache 2. I would like to compress the HTML, CSS and Javascript that is delivered to the browser. The host has disabled mod_deflate and mod_gzip, so these options are out. I do have PHP 5 at my disposal, though, so I could use the gzip component of that. I am currently placing the foll...
