In order to do some testing I'm looking for a tool to make http requests. Most of my request have several parameters and options set up on the request. I had been spending a lot of time copying each parameter and each option. I don't want a software or some plugin to make http requests. I'm looking for a tool that make me able to listen and record the http request that my browser does, and later let me modify them, and send them again. Is there some tool like that?

In Chrome I use Postman. It keeps a running log of all requests that have been made so it's easy to go back to previous ones. You can also save requests into collections.
In Firefox, try HTTP Resource Test.
EDIT: After more careful reading I see you want to actually record and re-send requests. I believe Fiddler may allow you to do that.
Also, you could export the network log (e.g. from the Chrome developer tools page) to a HAR file and write a script to replay the requests. Or import the HAR file back into existing tools.

We have a shared host And I want to get two sites on addon Domain.
The first site is no problem But the second site is addon Domain II When we go to the WordPress page, we face a strange problem And that's a problem for files too.
For example on this page:
http://song-fa.ir/wp-admin/install.php
Sometimes the page installed and occasionally CPanel 404 Error page.
Even static files such as js file Sometimes also created error 404 Which is specified in the following file:
http://song-fa.ir/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4
Reset the entire host to solve this problem and Do the installation again
Perhaps your problem will be solved

I am trying to setup a simple static Angular website on S3 per the info:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/swh/website-hosting-intro.html
I want to send email via a form that needs to send sendgrid api keys. Obviously, I want to use environment variables for this to avoid having keys in code. How do you setup environment variables in S3?
I looked into aws-cli tool but it only shows examples of what appear to be AWS specific enviroment variables. Is there somewhere in AWS/S3 console were these can be set?
BTW- I would like to use this Angular service which demonstrates the sendgrid service:
https://github.com/onaclovtech/sendgrid/blob/master/sendgrid.js
You can't set environment variables in S3. S3 is just a static object store, not a dynamic content server. To evaluate variable values would be the very definition of dynamic content, and S3 only serves static content.
Note that AngularJS code runs in the browser, not on a server, so those keys you want to keep out of your code are going to be viewable in the browser by anyone that knows how to look. There's no way for you to hide those values if you want to call SendGrid from a client-side framework.
Most of the reputed email marketing companies won't even allow calling their services from a front-end where the keys could be exposed such as MailChimp. You can read the below:
Note: MailChimp does not support the client-side implementation of our API using CORS requests due to the potential security risk of exposing account API keys.
Now, it may happen that many a time, you would want to still use environment variables to separate environments and such (non-sensitive information). In such scenarios, you should use the environment variables on your machine and generate builds with the help of webpack or some other build tool.

I'm building an app using Node.js. My question is:
Is it possible to use Node.js app in website that is running on Apache?
If yes, can you please tell me how?
apache is a WebServer.
node.js is a platform that runs JavaScript and can be used to make network applications.
A minimal node.js web application (http server) would look like this:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.end('Hello World!');
}).listen(80);
That means (generally) you don't need a WebServer to run you node.js application.
You should make a http/https server in your node app to handle client requests instead.
On the other hand, you can communicate with your node app from within the apps running on Apache and other WebServers.
There are several ways to do so, like using a message-queue, (unix-)sockets, databases, etc.

can any one sugest me which is the best but free web tracking tool ?

Google Analytics is an obvious suggestion. However, if you prefer to host your own solution (because you don't want to send private data to Google for example), then have a look at Open Web Analytics, a very impressive alternative (see the features list).
Open Web Analytics (OWA) is an open source web analytics framework written in PHP. OWA was born out of the need for an open source framework that could be used to easily add web analytics features to web sites and applications. The OWA framework also comes with built-in support for popular web applications such as Wordpress and MediaWiki. As a generic web analytics framework, OWA can be extended to track and analyze any web application.
(source: openwebanalytics.com)
Another very decent alternative is Piwik:
Piwik is a downloadable, open source
(GPL licensed) web analytics software
program. It provides you with detailed
real time reports on your website
visitors: the search engines and
keywords they used, the language they
speak, your popular pages… and so much
more.
Piwik aims to be an open source
alternative to Google Analytics.
Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program
that you download and install on your
own webserver. At the end of the five
minute installation process you will
be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy
and paste this tag on websites you
wish to track (or use an existing
plugin to do it automatically for
you).
(source: piwik.org)
Personally, I prefer OWA over Piwik and don't have anything negative to say about it.
Google Analytics has got all the features you specify.
You need a Google account but you don't have to sign up for their advertising programme. If you are already enrolled, Analytics is hooked into other Google products so you can get reports on Ad Sense hits, etc.

We want to provide Help for a client/server system. In the current version of the system this is done client side with traditional HTML Help (i.e. lots of .chm files sitting on each client machine). For a variety of reasons (e.g. to allow quick/easy updates to the Help) we want to move the Help content (i.e. the actual topic files) onto a server.
The client-side desktop app that the Help relates to already connects to a server, so it seems like we should be able to have a client-side help viewer doing a similar thing - i.e. pulling it's topic files off a server.
However, we don't want to reinvent the wheel and code something if there's already something out there that does this.
The obvious solution would be to use WebHelp, but there's some resistance to requiring our customers to run a Web server. And hosting ourselves, or via a 3rd party, is not an option.
So does anyone know of a way of providing Help where the content resides on the server?
What sort of server are you running? Is there any reason you couldn't host a web server within your server product, potentially on a "normally unused" port? You don't need to ask the customer to install and manage a web server if you bundle it yourself.
What platform is this on, btw?
EDIT: As suggested by David in the comments, there's a related question about a embedding lightweight web server.
You should be able to do this without too much trouble.
I built a CHM-to-Web converter that slurps in a CHM and spits out a web site.
This is an example website produced from the converter tool.
The CHM creation takes a loooooong time, through Sandcastle Helpfile Builder, but the transformation from CHM to web happens in about 6 seconds. It is totally automated.
You could take this magic and tweak it to fit your rich client app. The client could query the server for an index or topic list, and then retrieve the help content as desired by the user, from the server, on demand.
Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick, but if this all resides on an intranet then maybe you can use a mapped network drive which is shared between all your client machines, e.g. H:/ (you could make it part of their login script). You can then use a file link to get to the HTML pages, e.g. file:///H:/help_folder/index.html
If the rest of your app is delivered across the web, then you'll have to use a web server. There is very cheap and easy web hosting available.
