firewall

In the classic "RESTful Web Services" book (O'Reilly, ISBN 978-0-596-52926-0) it says on page 251 "Some firewalls block HTTP PUT and DELETE but not POST." Is this still true? If it's true I have to allow overloaded POST to substitute for DELETE. Firewalls blocking HTTP PUT/DELETE are typically blocking incoming connections (to servers behind the firewall). Assuming you have controls over the firewall protecting your application, you shouldn't need to worry about it. Also, firewalls can only block PUT/DELETE if they are performing deep inspection on the network traffic. Encryption will prevent

I'm trying to share my site in the local network. I want to use command line tool to perform this action. Manually: To enable http access through Windows Firewall on Windows 7. From the start menu begin typing "Allow a program through Windows Firewall". Scroll the bottom of the list and look for World Wide Web Services (HTTP) and enable it on your networks. It works fine. Command line doesn't work: >> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="World Wide Web Services (HTTP)" new enable=yes Error: No rules match the specified criteria. What is wrong in the command line? I had same problem when i

When I run a python application on Mac, it shows many dialogs about want "Python.app" to accept incoming network connections. Even I Allow it many times, it shows again and again. How to allow it one time and not show any more? Edit I found this question: Add Python to OS X Firewall Options? I followed the accepted answer to do but finally when I run codesign -s "My Signing Identity" -f $(which python) , it said: /usr/bin/python: replacing existing signature error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate: can't create output file

I want to use a messaging protocol that works fine over 3G, but not over some corporate firewalls. How can my app force the use of the cellular network when it fails to connect over WiFi even in the case that the WiFi network is reachable? EDIT: After reading through the implementation of the Reachability class I remain unsure whether the two are indeed mutually exclusive. It could well be possible to discover both interfaces via gethostbyname() , which I might try just to see what comes out. Use getifaddrs to enumerate the network interfaces. Look for ifa_name that starts with "pdp." This

Scenario I want to use virtual network in order to limit access to Azure Database only from my App Service, so that I can turn of "Allow access to App Services" in firewall settings What I have done: I went to App Service -> Networking -> VNET Integration -> Setup -> Create New Virtual Network I've created new VNET with default settings. When VNET was created I went to App Service -> Networking -> VNET Integration and ensured that the VNET is connected I went to SQL Firewall settigs -> Virtual Network -> Add existing Virtual Newtork and selected my VNET. I've left default subnet and address

I have the following use case for debugging a PHP application: The developer does have a private IP address The developer can connect only to a limited number of ports from the server, like 80, 8080, 3128, others being limited by the outgoing firewall. Still if the outgoing requests are HTTP he could use a proxy that does not have this limitation. the server machine is fully configurable Is is possible to use xdebug in this circumstance? How? It is possible to establish a VPN but this is not an easy solution so I would prefer a simplified one. sorin The solution I found was to use PuTTY to

I have a MySQL database behind a firewall which can only be accessed via an SSH connection. Does anyone know of an implementation of java.sql.Connection which would allow me to make an SSH connection to this database? Steve K You can use SSH's port forwarding to do this. While not a pure java.sql.Connection, it will allow you to tunnel the connection through ssh. ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remote.mysql.host.com This will forward port 3306 on your local machine to port 3306 on remote.mysql.host.com. This will allow you to connect to port 3306 on your local machine, and it will be tunnelled to
