Comment on Solving The HTTP Double-Post Dilema by Rene

Rene — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:09:17 +0000

Depending on everyones application it’s not allways possible to send headers when ever I want/need. If you already go into storing stuff in SESSION, I suggest another approach:
in your form set a hidden tag with a random number as a value (or you can use UNIX timestamp also). Now each time you get a form submit you check:
1) if the timestamp you got from POST isn’t in the SESSION or it’s different form the one in SESSION then it’s the first or new POST and you store data into DB. NB! And you now store this timestamp in SESSION.
2) if the timestamp matches the one already in SESSION you know it’s a repost and you discard it.

Nick,

It looks like things have indeed changed for ubuntu 10.04. The only difference that I found was to the server path in the /etc/xinetd.d/git file.

in 10.04 it’s located at:
/usr/lib/git-core/git-daemon

On Ubuntu 10.04, the instructions for anonymous cloning result in “connection refused” or “connection reset by peer” when you try and do the git clone. Telnetting to port 9418 results in the same. I’m assuming Ubuntu has moved a few things around since this was written?

You don’t need to install the git package, which is the package for the GNU Interactive Tools. You should only install the git-core package.

That would be true if you were given plane tickets with departure dates – in this case, only arrival and departure cities were on the tickets.

(Obviously I wasn’t clear enough in the question).

The third question..
Given a plane ticket has start and end time, just short by the start time and you’ll get a sorted list. This represent the order that you should use

Comment on The API is the Application by Ash Christopher

Ash Christopher — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:39:51 +0000

REST implies stateless data, so it wouldn’t really be useful for applications such as wizards. It could be used to populate data when interacting with a wizard.

Data that was entered on a previous screen would be presumably stored in the session somewhere, and that data may be passed to a REST resource which would return data to populate the page.

Hmmm… sounds like a reasonable way to do something simple, but how do you handle stateful applications. i.e. What happens now is different from what happened earlier based on a change that was made. A simple Request (What is the weather like in Waterloo, ON) and allowes for a simple response. If you need to process a stream of interactions (i.e. a Wizard) it sounds like you’d have to do something else other than REST to make that happen.

Hung,

It was a typo. ’svnserv’ is the service, not ’subserv’.
