I just had a call from norway saying that there is a weird domain redirect that ends up in a 404 error,
how can I simulate that I am in another country or replicate this error?
There is a service called Tunnel Bear , they allow you to install small application on computer, choose country where you want to "visit from" and then look at web sites as user from that country.
Also, there are lots of premium VPN solutions (i.e. ExpressVPN) which can be used to simulate this. It's pretty intuitive and easy to use. I think they have free account with some limited bandwith. #Carl_Whalley, if you want give it a shoot, hope it helps.
Finally, you can use Hoxx VPN proxy (installed as an free add-on for Mozilla) where you can choose multiple locations and change your IP.
Best and simple solution, works perfectly to me. http://www.locabrowser.com/
Try this site to test from different locations
http://www.webpagetest.org/
best way to do something like this is by using some proxy service.
List of web proxy services can be found at http://proxy.org/proxies_sorted.shtml , they are sorted by country.
Simply, find country you like (for example Norway), select any proxy and open web site with that proxy. It will be like you're visitor from that country. :)
Good luck

I would like to check a list of ip addresses and see if they are blacklisted (which would make me block them on my server).
Which recommended websites offer such a service?
We have created a bash script for checking a domain or an IP adress.
It is quite easy to use and available on GitHub.
https://github.com/IntellexApps/blcheck
Check out-
https://www.projecthoneypot.org/ and
https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/ (this one is provided by Google and is used by Chrome to check for malicious web hosts)
To check list of IP addresses are blacklisted or not, use "whoisthisip's blacklist checker tool.
See -
http://myip.ms/browse/blacklist/Blacklist_IP_Blacklist_IP_Addresses_Live_Database_Real-time
They have fresh spam bot/scam ip database (updated daily)
There are many services found on the net . I can say MxtoolBox is an option for you .
If you are looking for a standalone application , you can depend on IpBlacklist Checker .

I'm moving a site from one e-commerce software to another, and I've created URL Rewriter rules to do 301 redirects from the Old URLs to the new ones. I've tested them with a small sample of URLs, but I'm looking for some sort of tool that will let me test as many of the URLs as possible. Does anyone know of a tool that I can feed a list of URLs (or a sitemap.xml). This tool will attempt to retrieve each URL, and then report the status code for each. The result should be a list of URLs with the status code, something like this:
www.site.com/oldurlformat1/ 301 Permanently Moved
www.site.com/newurlformat1/ 200 OK
www.site.com/oldurlformat2/ 301 Permanently Moved
www.site.com/newurlformat2/ 200 OK
I can almost do this with wget, but getting the summary/report at the end is where I'm stuck.
I've used Xenu a long time ago, for a list of URLs to check and it was ok.
From the features list, the things that might help you:
Detects and reports redirected URLs
Site Map
I haven't used it since then and can't say how well the current version works, but it might be worth a try.
I think you can use Google webmaster's tools to do that.
Just sign up to this service, and submit the sitmap.
You'll have a feedback on what's OK and what's wrong.

Is there any service that receives emails users send to me, parse the content and call my API?
I would do it myself but don't want to mess with mailservers, cronjobs, etc
Thanks
I approached this problem a week or so ago whilst trying to provide one of our developers to not write something. There is nothing out of the box or hosted that I've found.
The nearest thing I've seen is a DIY SMTP framework in Python which is quite powerful (Lamson). It allows you to receive email, process it and call external services or store the message content.
http://lamsonproject.org/
Hope this helps.
Google App Engine has a mail API built in, that seems very simple to use, just forward the email to string#appid.appspotmail.com
I will use that, calling the API of my app hosted in heroku.
Thanks Chris for your answer, it is very good to know that a simple email framework exists!
SendGrid.com also offers this service. http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Webhooks/parse.html

Working on a movie website and would love to find an API that I could use to get information about different movies. I code in PHP but I'm assuming this would probably return XML.
I can recommend themoviedb.org. We have been using their API in an open source movie managing application with great success.
Quick google search returned this: Internet Video Archive Movie API. It seems to return XML data, so it could work for you.
EDIT: The link is down (thanks #Mutant), Wayback Machine has a backup.
For getting straight-up information about movies (for instance, basic genre and title information) the Amazon associates data works pretty good. There is the condition that the data be used primarily to drive traffic to Amazon, which is something to keep in mind.
There should be a PHP library already written that you can use: http://aws.amazon.com/associates/
Rotten Tomatoes has a free REST API (developer.rottentomatoes.com). The access keys are restricted to 10000 calls/day.

I saw this over on slashdot and realized if I could program in dns control into some of my apps it would make life a lot easier. Someone over there recommended dynect which apparently had a wonderful api. Unfortunately not a lot else was recomended. I don't know anything about managing dns servers I mostly work with the lamp stack, so on linux I understand bind is the way to go but other then a basic setup I'd be lost. I'd rather outsource the details.
What DNS services have API's and are easy to use without breaking the bank?
I guess in the last 3 years this is a bit of a solved problem. Here are some to check out:
Amazon has a nice dns service now http://aws.amazon.com/route53/
Linode has a free api based dns if you're a customer.
Dynadot has a fee dns with an api if you're a customer.
Hey I haven't used them, but Zerigo looks promising. We will probably wind up going with them if they allow enough hosts. Their API is standard REST stuff... very straightforward.
http://www.zerigo.com/docs/apis/dns/1.1
Thanks,
Eric.
We use DjbDNS and it's backended onto MySQL so we just hit the DB to make changes and periodically rebuild the the config data.
Has anyone seen any of the following DNS providers with APIs:
http://durabledns.com/
https://dnsimple.com/ (also supports registration by API)
http://www.loaddns.com/
We use Zonomi. Its very cheap and never gone down for us. With API
You can try http://customdns.ca. I have a couple of domains with them - no problems so far. They provide RestFul API.
http://www.dns.com
Here's the link to the API documentation:
https://github.com/dnsdotcom/API_DOC/
Have fun!
Haven't used the api, but I have been using the registrar for 10+ years and never had a problem: namecheap.com
Here is the API intro.
Here is the API methods list.
Pretty comprehensive. From purchasing to host and e-mail forwarding setup.
