Hi, Due to the location of where I am currently living and government restrictions on certain websites, I am trying to set up a proxy server on a server I have located in the US for the purpose of redirecting traffic that I cannot ordinarily get at. It has Fedora 8 installed, and I am trying...

Hi, I was wondering when precisely POST/PUT variables are sent in an HTTPS request. The questions pertain to requesting page transmitted over HTTPS from a page that was transmitted over HTTP. I have two questions: 1) Are POST/PUT variables sent at the same time as the initial request to the...

(I've also submitted this to the PHP forum.) Hi, I'm setting up a project where speed of execution of scripts/functions is very important. I will initially be writing everything in PHP, and will be caching compiled scripts both on the hard disk and in memory to speed up execution. Much of...

Hi, I'm setting up a project where speed of execution of scripts/functions is very important. I will initially be writing everything in PHP, and will be caching compiled scripts both on the hard disk and in memory to speed up execution. Much of the code will be re-used in lots of places all...

Hi, I'm looking to develop a flexible browser-based, video-conferencing package that doesn't require streaming all the video from a central server. I know that browser-based video-conferencing packages are available for Flash, but all the ones I have come across require Macromedia's...

Hi, I'm trying to plan for a globally redundant server network. I was wondering what happens if a webserver is not found on the internet. Is a request sent to find the DNS server with the definitive information on where the server is located (i.e. the resolving IP for a URL)? What happens if...

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to update information with data that is only held on the server, without reloading the page. By this, I mean that some information is presented on the page when it initially loads, then when a user clicks on a part of the screen to see more information, then...

Hi, Background: I'm wanting to include a script that will be included into many other scripts (probably most of the scripts that I will write). This path from the root to the script will remain the same, though the script itself may change physical location in a server cluster, and the scripts...

Hi, I'm thinking of trying to develop some software that will take screenshots of websites. I don't know any C(or C#), however I figured the easiest way to do this was to somehow plug into the graphics rendering of one (or more) of the internet browsers installed on people's computers. I...

Hi, I'm planning an API for a potentially high-use Apache installation (as a multi-site server), and was wondering whether sending graceful restarts had a significant effect on performance. I am going to be setting it up so that clients can (through an API) change certain parts of their...

I'd like to simulate a small amount of web browsing using PHP, which includes sending information over a secure connection, but I'm not sure if it is possible. Basically, I want to send some information in the form of variables to another site, as though a user browsing through a few pages on...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the size limit for an individual POST variable is, please? Is there a total size limit for the sum of all the POST environmental variables sent with a request? Is there a limit on the total number of variables sent with a POST request? I need to send large amounts...

Hi, I'm trying to optimise the speed of the php pages that are on my site, so intend on integrating an Open Source equivalent to Zend Studio, called Turck MMcache. I want to cache both scripts and entire pages, but when I do the entire pages, I want to leave a couple of environmental variables...

Hi, I'm trying to set up a site that both rewrites URLs of the form: http://username.mysite.com as http://www.mysite.com/?userID=username, AND has parts of the site that will have SSL, hence would be of the form https://username.mysite.com. I haven't actually tried it yet, but as I...

Hi, I'm trying to set up a multi-levelled affiliate program, which will include making payments to people from many countries. I am thinking that the easiest way would be to pay everyone using PayPal. Obviously, I don't want to do this manually, but intend on sending an email to users when...

(I forgot the title last time - oops) Hi, I'm trying to make a very simple online image-cropper, that can be used to import images from a user's computer to a server, crop them, and save them to a server. I have found a site that can upload the image, and can move round a box of set size...

Hi, I'm trying to make a very simple online image-cropper, that can be used to import images from a user's computer to a server, crop them, and save them to a server. I have found a site that can upload the image, and can move round a box of set size, but I need to be able to resize the box...

Hi, I'm trying to make a very simple online image-editor, that can be used to import images from a user's computer to a server, crop them, and save them to a server. Could this be done as a Flash movie? Could Flash include some kind of paint facility as well, so that the images can be altered...

Hi, I'm trying to create a special kind of crawler that reads the HTML pages on a website to extract certain kinds of information, such as headings and copyright information. This information could be generated by a database, so would be contained on the same place on multiple HTML pages, or...

Sorry about the length of this post, but I'm trying to be clear about my needs so that I can get the answer to a specific question. I am trying to set up a site that is a different type of search engine. Instead of a top-down approach of redirecting users to other websites based on...
