I am working at a GPL botanical collection manager (bauble), and I am linking to some reference sites like the wikipedia, the plant list, and similar sites.
all the above handle requests as GET and for each of them I'm generating an URI which I am connecting to a gtk.LinkButton.
is it possible to link to sites only handling requests as POST? I'm wondering because I had to link to tropicos, and initially I had not found the way they handle GET requests.
I'm not working with pygtk any more. and I guess that if I still needed this (I don't), I should consider this: »By default, Gtk.LinkButton calls Gtk.show_uri_on_window() when the button is clicked. This behaviour can be overridden by connecting to the Gtk.LinkButton ::activate-link signal and returning True from the signal handler.«

I am currently looking through the options of creating an offline indication for the nuxt/pwa project. Since this moment, app is running perfectly offline, but what I want to do is to push a small notification when there is no connection saying something simple such as "you are currently offline".
I can see that there are multiple ways of doing this such as writing the event listener directly in the default layout, but my question is which one is the most suitable and reliable for the nuxt setup.
I think you don't need to write your own event listener, as this seems to be taken care of by the nuxt already. The network status seems to be accessible via $nuxt helper's isOnline and isOffline properties. Check out this example:
https://nuxtjs.org/api/$nuxt/
I have not worked with this yet, but I think it might be what you are looking for.
Note: Make sure to copy the whole link, as stackoverflow cuts it off at /$nuxt.
Looking at the MDN documentation IOS/Safari fully supports ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onfetch but when you look at the FetchEvent specification it says it is not supported at all by Safari.
In particular, I would like to store some state for each client and was hoping to use the fetchEvent.clientId property of the event to index it. Of course I presume I also have access to the fetchEvent.request object otherwise I can't see how a service worker can do anything useful and I could simulate clientID from a passed in parameter in the url. But the docs don't really tell me what IOS/Safari supports and doesn't so I don't know which way to go.
Can someone please tell me precisely what does IOS/Safari pass when it calls the defined onfetch function.
I found the answer to my question by using https://jakearchibald.github.io/isserviceworkerready/demos/fetchevent/
connecting my iPad to my Macbook and debugging my iPad. I was eventually able to open the web inspector for the Service worker for that page, and the console.log showed the event passed in.
FetchEvent.clientID is present but a zero length string. As it happens I did the same thing on my (linux) Desktop using Chrome and its also a zero length string, BUT it has another parameter resultingClientId with what looks like a UUID in it. That parameter is not there in Safari.
The FetchEvent.request is there, and in particular the URL. So I can generate my own client id in the client (I am using Date.now().toString() as that is good enough for my purposes) for use in the service worker. In fact my site without a service worker was using the in the URLs I need to intercept already, so I am happy that I have a solution.
This is somewhat a duplicate of this question, but that question has no (valid) answer and is 1.5 years old so asking my own with hopes people have more info now.
If you are using multiple instances of a WebBrowser control, MSHTML, IHTMLDocument, or whatever... from inside the APP instance, mostly IInternetProtocol::Start, is there a way to know which instance is loading the resource? Or is there a way to use a different APP for each instance of the control, maybe by providing one via IDocHostUIHandler or ICustomDoc or otherwise? I'm currently using IInternetSession::RegisterNameSpace to make it process wide.
Optional reading below, don't feel you need to read it unless above isn't clear.
I'm working on a legacy (Win32 C++) email client that uses the MS ActiveX WebBrowser control (MSHTML or other names it goes by) to display HTML emails. It was saving everything to temp files, updating the cid: URLs, and then having the control load that. Now I want to do it the correct way, using APP. I've got it all working with some test code that just uses static variables/globals and loads one email.
My problem now is, the app might have several instances of the control all loading different emails (and other stuff) at the same time... not really multiple threads so much, just the asynchronous nature of the control. I can give each instance of the control a unique URL to load the email, say, cid:email-GUID, and then in my APP code I can use that URL to know which email to load. However, when it comes to loading any content inside the email, like attached images using src="cid:", those will not always be unique so I will not always know which image it is, for which email. I'd like to avoid having to modify the URLs of the HTML before displaying it (I'm doing that now for the temp file thing, but want to do it a better way).
IInternetBindInfo::GetBindString can return the referrer, BINDSTRING_XDR_ORIGIN, or the root URL, BINDSTRING_ROOTDOC_URL, but those require newer versions of IE and my legacy app must support older XP installs that might even have IE6 or IE7, so I'd rather not use these.
Tagged as TWebBrowser because that is actually what I'm using (Borland Builder 6 C++), but don't need answers specific to that platform.
As the Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Handler us very low level, you cannot attach handlers individually to different rendering controls.
Here is a way to get the referrer:
Obtain BINDSTRING_HEADERS
Extract the referrer by parsing the line Referer: http://....
See also How can I add an extra http header using IHTTPNegotiate?
Here is another crazy way:
Create another Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Handler by calling RegisterMimeFilter.
Monitor text/plain and text/html
Scan the incoming email source (content comes incrementally) and parse store all image links in a dictionary
In NameSpaceHandler you can use this dictionary to find the reference of any image resources.
I am trying to write a small application usingwebrtc that can be used as a messaging/Chat application between 2 computers.
I see this:
http://simpl.info/rtcdatachannel/
and it is not working. any suggestions?
I wrote the simpl.info/rtcdatachannel example. It's only designed to show off data channels working within one page.
For a complete peer-to-peer messaging application, I suggest adding RTCDataChannel functionality to something like apprtc.appspot.com. You could also consider a readymade abstraction library like PeerJS or EasyRTC.
You might also want to take a look at the RTCPeerConnection/RTCDataChannel/signaling codelab I built.
In above example, from the trace log, the ice-candidates are generated, but they are either not exchanged between each other because of there may be problem in sending 'offer' or responding the 'answer'. Also above example works only in chrome( because of only webkitRTCPeerConnection is used, with mozRTCPeerConnection this can work on firefox also.
If you want to develope chat application for only text and not for the video chat, then you can use node-js & socket.io or websockets for this.
You may like :) following two libraries:
DataChannel.js / for webrtc data/text/file sharing (among multi-users)
RTCMultiConnection.js / for data as well as media (screen/audio/video/etc) sharing
Firebase.com is a "suggested" starting point for newcomers; that can be used for signaling. You just need to override "openSignalingChannel" and done!
You should use peer.js (https://github.com/peers/peerjs) or use peer chat (https://github.com/Hironate/PeerChat) if you want to do with node js.
There's a website that contains some real time information. I want to have a VB.Net windows application that monitors the page, and when it detects certain events it triggers some actions based on the data in the page.
I've been searching like crazy for some mechanism to "hook" into the browser and hopefully inspect the messages transmitted for the application to know how to react.
I've seen the SHDocVw COM object, which comes very close. But when I use the BeforeNavigate2 event, it only seems to fire for GETs, and once I'm on the page where the information is displayed/refreshed the event is not raised.
Short of reverse engineering the page, or having to write some kind of proxy...is there a good way to do this in VB.Net?
Here's a method you can try:
Create a GreaseMonkey script embedded on the page to hook up events.
When changes occur, collect the changes in an array or display them on the screen.
Create a VB.Net webpage service to listen for POST requests.
Post using AJAX from your GreaseMonkey script to the webpage service, which then writes to a log file/database on your server.
Otherwise the proxy would probably be the next best method, providing the server isn't HTTPS.
