WTF

Update:

Just found a revelatory discussion. The summary of Bjoern Hoehrmann is especially interesting with regards to that topic.

While skimming through the new HTML5 WebSocket draft, I noticed the following exemplar HTTP message demonstrating the client message of a WebSocket handshake:

        GET /demo HTTP/1.1
        Host: example.com
        Connection: Upgrade
        Sec-WebSocket-Key2: 12998 5 Y3 1  .P00
        Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: sample
        Upgrade: WebSocket
        Sec-WebSocket-Key1: 4 @1  46546xW%0l 1 5
        Origin: http://example.com

        ^n:ds[4U

To me this looks non conforming to the HTTP spec due to the lack of an indicator that the request contains a message body.

Quoting the 4th paragraph of section 4.3 of RFC2616:

The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers. A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests. A server SHOULD read and forward a message-body on any request; if the request method does not include defined semantics for an entity-body, then the message-body SHOULD be ignored when handling the request.

Huh?

Just chewed up a command line highlighter for php code.
It's hacky, but it fullfills my needs.

Cheers-

...but somehow managed to not get through, so here's my attempt:

awk -v RS="[\n ,]+" '{print}' < u.txt

Well, it's this time in one's life, you know...

I'm single again, and I'm looking for a radical change in my life.

I'm going to abandon being self-employed and looking for a PHP/HTTP/CURL related job.

Some info about me, even in german.

I cancelled my German PHP-Magazine subscription last fall. I even got a cancellation confirmation letter on behalf of them on 10/10/2006.

The funny journey began shortly after. I got each 2007 issue twice, last month an issue of the dot-net magazine and now again the 04.07 issue of the PHP magazine. The subscription was supposed to end with issue 03.07.

I already wrote mails to abo-at-phpmagazin.de and info-at-software-support.biz, without response.

Now I'm sitting here--quite puzzled--with issue 04.07 and am looking forward to my 2007 subscription invoice... hm... now I wonder if it will be for the dot-net or the PHP magazine :-/
