https for facebook applications - ssl

Read a lot about the new guidelines for facebook developer,
but i got know real answer about this:
Do I realy need a https-website to get an app running?
Anyone got it running via ssl-proxy?
Thx Sven

Not really a stackoverflow.com question, nor is this (1) something not covered by Facebook already (see http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/497/). In short, yes, you must have SSL-ready server.
As for (2) stackoverflow.com is not a platform meant to advertise products. Your most likely answer is http://godaddy.com (personally not using any godaddy.com services and would not recommend them for any other reason that price).
There are a lot of alternatives, e.g. http://networksolutions.com, http://rapidssl.com (see http://www.cheapssls.com/ for more offers).

Does anyone know a better alternative to Google Translate API?

I already did similar search terms for this topic in this forum.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6151668/alternative-to-google-translate-api
But that post is a bit old.. Things may have changed for about a year. And I wonder does anybody know if there's any better REST-based API service that I can use out there since that post was last posted.
Thanks.
I guess Bing translator could be the substitute that u are looking for.
I was looking for alternatives as well and came across a npm package called google-translate-api-browser which does work for my small project, but I can't assure big data translations or requests not being throttled

what is the simple configuration,complete user guide but strong Authentication library in Codeigniter2

i've read this article about authentication library. some of this answer is not satisfy me. my qeustion is:
i know some of the libraries above has not been maintenance
anymore/compatible with Codeigniter 2.0 . but which one who still be
maintenanced ? some of them doesnt have any documentation (tank_auth) would u like to show me the complete documentation instead of basic information founded in the konyukhov's site ?
I plan to make a -dooid-like web or a-identy-like web for
my local colleges.
what is the most suitable authentication for my case?.
i mean it is simple, clear and complete user_guide ,compatible with
codeigniter 2.0 but strong.
excuse me with my english. i am indonesian and i cant speak english well.
I've had great luck and would highly recommend Tank Auth.
It requires only a bit of setup and provides several built in functions for checking if a person is logged in and other useful authentication functions. It's fairly well documented and there's a good community of developers to help if you get stuck.

Boost Asio and Web Sockets?

Does anyone know of any attempt to implement the Web Sockets API using Boost asio?
I realize this is an old thread, but wanted to update to help those looking for an answer: WebSocket++ fits the bill perfectly. Wt is an entire framework and may be more than many people want.
Wt implemented WebSockets on top of boost::asio.
Beast is another project, demonstrated at CppCon 2016 and used in rippled, an open source server application that implements a decentralized cryptocurrency system.
Also see this related question.
The closest example I know of anyone doing anything remotely like what you're asking is the Mongoose project. There is an increasing amount of discussion on the Mongoose mailing list about persistent connections for HTTP - but that's obviously not exactly Web Sockets. I would hope that someone would be able to add Web Sockets to it, too, eventually.

Is it possible to programmatically talk to MSN messenger / Live messenger?

I've been researching how to interact with the MSN messenger / Live messenger service programmatically and I can't find any real documentation on this. The documentation for the Live services only seem to implement in Javascript (they're here: http://dev.live.com/Messenger/)
It would be possible to reverse engineer this API to obtain the web services that it is actually using, but I am guessing that they didn't provide the sources for a reason (which means that those web services aren't meant for direct access).
However I can't find any other official APIs that allow programmatic access (more specifically no APIs that mention sockets, web services, or a proper programming language like Java or .Net).
Does anyone know if an API like that exists?
Check out LibPurple, which is the library underlying the pidgin multi-protocol IM client.
The open source pidgin does it, so maybe have a look ?
MSNP-Sharp is a very good C# API.
You haven't stated what your purpose is, but maybe you can use source code of alternative clients like pidgin, amsn or centerim to access msn live network and use whatever service you want. I cannot point you to any documentation but you can use their source code if you want.
Is C proper enough?
I would take a look at msn-pecan - A WLM plugin for Pidgin
Let me clarify what I'm going to use it for. We want a viable solution to be able to connect to MSN messenger from Flash, we can't connect directly because flash is a bit bonkers and doesn't like to open socket connections to a domain unless it's invited.
So we'll need to construct a proxy server in a proper language (which obviously we'd like to support other protocols too, so that'll work quite nicely with lib purple). We don't have any experience in house of C, so it would have been preferable to keep it in Java, which is what our team is experienced in, but there really don't seem to be any decent APIs for Java, or APIs that Java could interact with.
Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestions chaps. They look very useful.
The Java MSN Messenger Library is also pretty good.

Example websites using db4o

I'm very impressed with my initial tests with db4o. However, i'm wondering just how many enterprise class websites are out there powered by db4o, i couldn't see any on the main website?
I can't see any reason why db4o should not be used. There appears to be decent enough support for transactions and ways to handle concurrency for example.
Anyone got a list of websites i could look at?
See:
http://developer.db4o.com/Projects/html/projectspaces/gaabormarkt.html
A particular search engine used to be powered by db4o (I say "used to" because I haven't talked to the author about this since a long time).
http://www.rel8r.com/
The author is Travis Reeder.
Although I cannot see websites specifically, here is a list of Open Source Projects from the db4o website:
