I have ab iPhone application that makes heavy use of a Rails json API I have built. Most of the time I am testing the local version of my API (URLs like localhost:3000/api/log_in), but I also need to test it on a remote server from time to time (URLs like someapp.com/api/log_in).
How can I easily switch the urls used by my application depending on whether I want to test against my local or remote server?
Okay. You should go like this:
Create another target (by copy the existing one)
Under Build Settings, change the Prefix Header to another filename
Create the new Prefix Header (just add a file or duplicate/add your existing Header Prefix File)
Add the same precompiler constant (#define) to both .pch file. One with your productive URL, one with your localhost URL. Instead of your "static" URL in your code, use the new set precompiler constant.
Now you can switch between localhost/production with switching targets next to your run/stop buttons

My project with Nuxt JS is set with target:static and ssr: false.
This app need to connect to a local endpoint to retrieve some informations.
I have multiple endpoints and I need multiple instances of the app, every app must read only his endpoint.
The question is: how change the endpoint address for every app without rebuild everyone?
I tried with env file or a json file in the static folder (in order to have access to this file in the dist folder after the build process).
But if I modify the content of the env/json file in the dist folder and then reload the webpage (or also restart the web server that serve the dist folder), the app continue to use the original endpoint provided at the build time.
There is a way or I have to switch to server side rendering mode (which I would rather not use)?
Thank you!
When you use SSG, it will bundle your app at build time. Last time I checked, there was no hack regarding that. (I don't have the Github issue under my hand but it's a popular one)
And at the same time, I don't really see how it would be done since you want to mix something static and dynamic at the same time.
SSR is the only way here.
Otherwise, you may have some other logic to generate dynamic markup when updating your endpoints (not related to Nuxt) by fetching a remote endpoint I guess.
With the module nuxt content it's possible to create a folder "/content" in project directory and read json files from that directory.
After, when creating the dist with nuxt generate command, the "content" folder it's included in "_nuxt" folder of the dist and if you modify the content of the json file and refresh the webpage that read it, will take the new values.
I have different projects that are consuming many WCF services. I am using VSTS to automate deployments. Those services target different URLs (endpoint addresses) based on the environment where they are going to be deployed.
I am trying to use web deploy with VSTS release management as suggested in this link:WebDeploy with VSTS, which proposes to create:
Parmeters.xml
Then, add new task "Replace Tokens" with the specified variable for each environment.
However, i don't guess this will work for me, because it generate tokens only for app settings keys (which is not my case).
Is there is a work around or any other suggestion that could help me to do the configuration part?
"Replace Tokens" task can works with any config file in your project and what content to be replaced is also controlled by you.
For example, if you want to replace a URL in "myconfig.config" file. You can set the URL in the config file to "#{targeturl}#", and add a "Replace Tokens" task in your definition with the following settings: (You can change the token prefix and suffix, but remember to update it accordingly in the config file since the task find the strings to replace base on it)
And then create a variable "targeturl" in the definition with the actual URL value:
Now, when you start the build/release, the string "#{targeturl}#" in "myconfig.config" file will be replaced with "www.test.com".
I need to setup intern to test ajax calls from a different server. I set everything up sort of following the official wiki in this address
https://github.com/theintern/intern/wiki/Using-Intern-to-unit-test-Ajax-calls
My config file has proxyUrl set to http://localhost:8080/sub
and http://localhost:8080/sub is setup as a reverse proxy to inter-runner in http://localhost:9000
When I run ./node_modules/.bin/intern-runner -config=tests/config from the tests root folder, the browser opens up and is able to request several files, until it tries to request the config file. That's when it receives a 404, because it requests the wrong address - http://localhost:8080/tests/config.js - without the sub folder.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something inside the config file, or if intern is not able to use proxies with subfolders. I tried to set the baseUrl parameter, but it had no effect.
Any ideas?
Update:
It seems that sometimes intern-runner uses the path provided in the config param, and sometimes it uses the one in the proxyUrl parameter inside the config file. As a workaround, what I did was to place the config file and the tests on 2 folders (actually I made a symbolic link). The first on tests/ and the second on sub/tests/ and ran it using ./node_modules/.bin/intern-runner -config=sub/tests/config.
It works, but it's kind of stupid and I really wished there was a better way to do it.
This is indeed a limitation/bug of intern. It assumes that the proxy sits at the root of the absolute domain name, i.e. that it has a pathname of /.
An issue has been created on intern's github repository here and the corresponding pull request that fixes the problem is here. Hopefully this gets merged into the upcoming 2.1 release of intern.
I'm writing an apache2 module
by default and when viewed in a web browser, the module would only print the first lines of a large file and convert them to HTML.
if the user choose to 'download as...', the whole raw file would be downloaded.
Is it possible to detect this choice on the server side ? (for example is there a specific http header set ?).
note: I would like to avoid any parameter in the GET url (e.g: "http://example.org/file?mode=raw" )

added my own answer to close the question: as said #alexeyten there is no difference. I ended by a javascript code the alter the index.html file generated by apache.
I have made up a simple http server using libevent. The way the resource (folders in my case) are accessed is
http://serverAddress:port/path/to/resouce/
the path to resource is extracted using the decoded url . It works fine on Linux as request would be something like this
http://severAddress:port/home/vickey/folder
but on window$ request is
http://serverAddress:port/c:/users/vickey/folder
which results in decoded url as /c:/users/vickey/folder. Its manually possible to remove the leading slash to correct the problem. However since I m using and learning boost libraries in my code I was wondering if there was some implementation of this sort ? I tried using native() and relative_path(). Thanks.
Its definitely possible to do as you're asking, but I would suggest a different approach. How about creating a configuration property for the server which could be called RESOURCE_BASE_PATH. The resource path received in the URL would be appended to the RESOURCE_BASE_PATH to create the complete path.
This is pretty standard for FTP and HTTP servers and the like. On Windows, it could be set to "c:" and on Linux, left blank which would default to "/".
Also remember on Windows the slashes (\) are different than those on Unix (/).
