Since Java SE 6, there’s a builtin HTTP server in Sun Oracle JRE. The com.sun.net.httpserver package summary outlines the involved classes and contains examples. Here’s a kickoff example copypasted from their docs (to all people trying to edit it nonetheless, because it’s an ugly piece of code, please don’t, this is a copy paste, not mine, moreover you should never edit quotations … Read more
Header names are not case sensitive. From RFC 2616 – “Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1”, Section 4.2, “Message Headers”: Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (“:”) and the field value. Field names are case-insensitive. The updating RFC 7230 does not list any changes from RFC 2616 at this part.
I am getting this strange thing on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit machine when I do a wget I have encountered this problem earlier when I got it for any web pages (and not http), which required me to add my nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf. However, here that doesn’t seem to be the problem, instead it is … Read more
I found this blog post which cleared up a few things. To quote the most relevant bit: Mixed Active Content is now blocked by default in Firefox 23! What is Mixed Content?When a user visits a page served over HTTP, their connection is open for eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. When a user visits a … Read more
Using text/csv is the most appropriate type. You should also consider adding a Content-Disposition header to the response. Often a text/csv will be loaded by a Internet Explorer directly into a hosted instance of Excel. This may or may not be a desirable result. The above will cause a file “Save as” dialog to appear … Read more
The values are sent in the request body, in the format that the content type specifies. Usually the content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded, so the request body uses the same format as the query string: When you use a file upload in the form, you use the multipart/form-data encoding instead, which has a different format. It’s more complicated, but … Read more
See documentation: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT – The number of seconds to wait while trying to connect. Use 0 to wait indefinitely.CURLOPT_TIMEOUT – The maximum number of seconds to allow cURL functions to execute. also don’t forget to enlarge time execution of php script self:
One solution to this was posted in the PHP documentation comments: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php#80442 Code example: Warning: As noted in the comments below, this may not be reliable when used with proxy servers or when handling certain types of redirects. @Geoffrey’s answer may handle these more reliably.
Request takes a callback method, its async! So I am assuming, by the time the callback is executed the res.end() might get called. Try closing the request within the callback.
Unless you need more than just the contents of the file, you could use file_get_contents. For anything more complex, I’d use cURL.
