http-headers

I am writing a piece of software that uses Qt/KDE libs. The objective is to parse the HTTP header response fields into different fields of a struct. So far the HTTP header response is contained in a QString. It looks something like this: "HTTP/1.1 302 Found date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:40:16 GMT server: Apache/2.2.22 (Linux/SUSE) x-prefix: 49.244.80.0/21 x-as: 23752 x-mirrorbrain-mirror: mirror.averse.net x-mirrorbrain-realm: region link: <http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/du.list.meta4>; rel=describedby; type="application/metalink4+xml" link: <http://download.services.openoffice.org

On my current page I use old file upload with input element. However, now I've implemented drag&drop from that very nice series of articles: http://www.sitepoint.com/html5-file-drag-and-drop/ There's one snag. Before rewriting the page I was submitting the form with the file and server side service (Java's appspot.com) did all the magic of retrieving the file, saving to DB etc. I would still like to take advantage of that service. However now, after rewriting the file upload to use XMLHttpRequest my code simply writes file to the content, whereas service expects form. Is there a way to mimick

From the render_GET method of a Resource in twisted , is it possible to redirect to a different url entirely (hosted elsewhere) request.redirect(url) doesn't appear to do anything, and neither does twisted.web.util.Redirect The equivalent in php would be, header('location:'.$url); EDIT this is the code I'm running from twisted.web import server, resource from twisted.internet import reactor class Simple(resource.Resource): isLeaf = True def render_GET(self, request): request.redirect("www.google.com") request.finish() site = server.Site(Simple()) reactor.listenTCP(8080, site) reactor.run() I

I've been tracking referrers to my site and storing it a session to be used in some reports when they do certain actions. To get the referrer, I just do $_SESSION["s1"] = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; It seems to work for everything except YouTube. Clicking a link on YouTube generates a blank referrer. What could cause this? Does YouTube do something to the headers? Does opening a new window lose the referrer info? I came across this same issue today. Even though this question is 5 years old it came up first on Google when I searched for the cause; so I am going to answer it here for others who

I have a heap of data in format JSON(Serialized object). I send this data to server by POST method with header: Content-Type: application/json . Is it possible to attach file to body request and send at once. Or JSON data sugggests sending only text data? Try to send the file inside the json object as a base64 string: { "file":"dGhpcyBpcyBhIGZpbGUgc2FtcGxl..." } Later you can open the file with something like: document.location = 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + file In this context, the content-type header aims to describe the type of data in the request body. If you use application/json the

I was wondering if there was any way to re-order HTTP headers that are being sent by our browser, before getting sent back to the web server? Since the order of the headers leaves some kind of "fingerprinting", see this post and this post , I was thinking about using MITMProxy (with Inline Scripting, I guess) to modify headers on-the-fly. Is this possible? How would one achieve that? Note: I'm looking for a method that could be scripted, not a method using a graphical tool like the Burp Suite (although Burp is known to be able to re-order headers) I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps NGINX might
