Is there any way to replace the page that is shown if you are not connected to the internet?
A list with tips about network cables, flight mode, access points, routers and mobile devices is presented if I start IE while being disconnected. This list is in my case not very helpful.
I would like to offer a modified checklist, another as the one that is shown to every user.
And I don't want to do this with a default start page, hosted on a webserver on the same device.
Have not found any information about that in IEAK 11.
You can overwrite those pages using the registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs
You are looking for the OfflineInformation entry (Source)

Just put the html file on the disk and put the filename into the registry key.

The import seems to start out ok, showing the contents of the mediawiki in the terminal window. At some point (often around the same point in the content), the SSH terminal freezes up. Opera Browser returns an 'out of memory' message.
2 questions -
Can I just start the import and ask the server to run it regardless of the status of the terminal window on my machine (or the internet connection)?
If no to #1, what can I modify to prevent the terminal from timing out?
It could be that the cause of the problem is not the Google Cloud server or the network but a problem with the client browser being used.
A good test would be to do the same operation using another browser if possible and see how it goes. If the operation is successful then it means that it is a problem with the Opera browser itself.
Also check the memory configurations on the client machine to see if it can handle the request.
There has been reports of out of memory errors in Opera:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/17877/new-version-out-of-memory-issue
If you have tried other browsers and issue is the same then it should not be caused by the Opera browser ‘out of memory’ error.
Have you provided your Bitnami Mediawiki deployment with the correct instance specs to handle every request?
At the Google Cloud Platform click on Products & Services which is the
icon with the four bars at the top left hand corner.
On the menu go to the Compute section and hover on ‘Compute Engine’ and
then click on ‘VM Instances’ to view all your instances.
Click on your Bitnami instance to see more details.
Go to ‘Machine type’ where you can see CPU and memory allocated for the
instance.
Ensure Bitnami Mediawiki instance has a good profile to handle the request.
You can also check the instance performance while you’re doing the import and see how it behaves.
As per the documentation, running importDump.php can take quite a long time. For a large Wikipedia dump with millions of pages, it may take days, even on a fast server.
Anyone had experience using a USB Mobile Broadband on Windows IoT with the Raspberry Pi2 already?
I have a Huawei datacard in the Windows IoT and appears as HUAWEI Mobile on connected devices but I'm unable to see the device on the wifimanager.htm admin page.
Don't even appear on the Device Manager list. Is this lack of drivers?
I was looking for a solution too, and I have finally found one. I hope the following will help you!
For the record, I used a Vodafone (Huawei) K5150, "officially" supported and Microsoft verified, according to the hardware compatibility list: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/win10/supportedinterfaces. The device was recognized and visible on the portal through an hdmi screen. Anyway, the raspberry couldn't get internet access.
Here is what I did to make it work:
install the key on a common laptop and check the internet access. Windows should see it as a cellular connection by the way.
find the xml file generated by Windows and located under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\WwanSvc\Profiles. This file is called a profile and is used by Windows to characterize every wireless connection it sees. You can of course create yourself this file from scratch, but it's far more complicated/boring. You can also normally do that with the netsh command and the import or dump sub-command, but it doesn't work for broadband devices.
connect your raspberry to your local network and go to \\[name or IP address]\c$. In my case, it was \\minwinpc\c$. There, find a suitable place to copy the xml file, as well as the bmp file next to it, and don't forget to modify its content to point the right path for the icon (the bmp file).
the next step is super tricky, but highly important: you have to find the subscriber ID for your key. The one saved in the xml file is actually a kind of hash and if you don't set the correct value you'll have an error like
Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML.
connect the key to your raspberry and enter a PSSession with PowerShell (details here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/win10/samples/powershell). Then, use this command: netsh mbn show readyinfo interface="Cellular". The correct interface (in my case it's "Cellular") can be retrieved with the command netsh mbn show interfaces (mbn standing for Mobile Broadband I suppose). The subscriber ID, with other useful information, is displayed and you can copy it the to the xml file on your raspberry.
what's left is the actual profile activation, in two parts: add the newly imported profile and tell the raspberry to connect to it. For that, use the commands netsh mbn add profile interface="Cellular" name="profile.xml" and netsh mbn connect interface="Cellular" connmode=name name=ProfileName.
You mobile broadband key should now be activated and the raspberry should automatically connect to it at start.
Here are the few links that helped me a lot:

At present, I start up red5 in linux command line ./red5.sh and it runs the script. Then I go to http://localhost:5080 demos page to set up my camera and audio input and all works fine in testing the stream both on demo page and in swf of my webpage.
Question is, do I need to include some java and/or action script for the swf player to
bypass the red5 demo page so I can directly connect my input and stream in the code of the page? Also so only logged in webpage viewers can connect?
Overall wondering if there is a way of hiding the server stream from anyone not logged in to view it on my site? I understand in webapps folder somewhere there is the hosts list of IP but it would be impossible to know the IP of the viewers as opposed to unwanted viewers or bandwidth stealers.
I am trying to set up a site for poetry readings and make it so readers can record live to my server and then logged in viewers can view from my website. I am trying to figure out whether I must have that red5 page open and if that doesn't pose some kind of risk.
Found my own way of doing this just by removing and renaming files and folders.
If you go to usr/local/red5/webapps here lies all the directories for viewing when you go to default port 5080 so I simply installed the applications I needed and then took everything out of there except those applications I wanted and needed to run. I took out all and placed it in a folder in /var directory named it red5_movedstuff in case I want access to further applications later on.Then I renamed the applications I am using in webapps folder and kept admin folder to access them but I renamed my applications and had to importantly rename also in WEB-INF for each application name change.
Now if someone goes to myip:5080 they get a blank page and by changing names of applications I've hidden my directories beyond that including list of streams.
I want to read the content of a text file (serves as a key) stored inside a USB mass storage automatically when the user is authenticated by his matching username and password for that website. It's like the textfile(key) is the extended authentication.
I think this needs to can be done by a (1) native program? or an (2) applet? What do i need to study? Can someone give me an overview for the process to make this possible?
Quite good in web tech but not with native app.
You cannot access USB mass storage devices through chrome.usb as they are claimed and handled by the host operating system.
Instead you could use the chrome.fileSystem API, but the user will need to select the file. Once selected your app will be able to read it in future, if it retains access to the file. See the API documentation for more details.
If you want this only for Internet Explorer, You can create an Active X. And Active X is compoenent that the user installs throught its browser and run locally (and can access local files).
Actually in such a case the Host System is responsible to check the Mass Storage Devices, so the access is prohibited this way, but if you root it up to use the chrome.fileSystem.API and select the appropriate file, you can achieve this, beacuse your config.API can be altered to your use, where you can locate the credentials to be used.(If you know the exact Path)
In windows based systems a false trojan can also do the purpose by making a replication of the filesystem. Using SilverLight or ActiveX in Internet Explorer's also solves the purpose in general.
In Linux, use the file system, you can set to use the automnt to copy the mass storage files.
Why not try building a .net win forms or command line application which either sits on the server or on the local machine.
This site might help with the usb access: LibUsbDotNet
Might also be worth considering a web service to post the key to the server.
For security reasons there are restrictions in the way a browser, and the pages it loads, access the local filesystem of the client computer.
Is it safe to assume you only require this to work on a specific browser? As Ben said, please share more details about your requirement for a more comprehensive solution
When I browse the web with IE10 in win8's Metro part there is no problem but when I try to view page that is located on server in my local network(the same subnet) it displays this message:
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://192.168.1.100 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
If following these suggestions didn't work, resetting your connection might help.

Now the funny part is that there is an option in metro version of ie10 to open page on desktop (in regular IE10) and than it works with no problem.
I can't find or think of any security setting that would restrict browsing websites inside your own local network.
(this is Windows 8 32Bit Release Preview build 8400)
Any ideas?
This is related to EPM (Enhanced Protected Mode) in IE10. It's hard to summarize in an answer here, but Eric Lawrence (a PM on the IE team) has an excellent post detailing everything about EPM:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2012/03/23/understanding-ie10-enhanced-protected-mode-network-security-addons-cookies-metro-desktop.aspx
In particular, read the "Loopback-blocked" and "Private Network resources" sections.
In your case, you might try one of these approaches:
Try aliasing the dotted hostname (http://192.168.1.100) via a custom DNS entry (e.g. http://myservice)
Change the Trusted Zones settings
See if your network connection was established as sharing or non-sharing, which would trigger private vs. public mode.
Again, see Eric's post for the details of each of these.
