• Using user editable image URL in application. Security issues.

  - by sharas

  Hi there. I am writing an application where users are required to show their photo, however as my server resources are very limited I can not let them upload it to the server. So I have three major questions: 1. How to properly validate photo URL? At least I can validate with regexp, however I need to check for file ending: `validates_format_of :photo_url, :with => URI::regexp(%w(http https))` 2. Security issues? XSS? Even I validate the picture at the moment of creation, hacker can replace image with malicious stuff anytime. 3. Maybe there are free asset stores with API?

• looping and arrays

  - by user1838418

  Hi I'm trying to construct a loop to execute 16 states of the 8 4 2 1 code in (C++) while( condition) { double Bubble[16], Bubble1[16]; Bubble[0] = ( a-2 - (b-2) ) + ( c-2 - (d-2)); // represents 0000 Bubble[1] = ( a-2 - (b-2) ) + ( c-2 - (d+2)); // represents 0001 Bubble[2] = ( a-2 - (b-2) ) + ( c+2 - (d-2)); // represents 0010 Bubble[3] = ( a-2 - (b-2) ) + ( c+2 - (d+2)); //represents 0011 ....... Bubble[15] =(a+2 - (b+2) ) + ( c+2 - (d+2)); //represents 1111 } Is there an easy way of coding using for loops? instead of writing bubble[] every time? 0 stands for -2 and 1 stands for +2. So I have 4 variables and each one need to be incremented and/or decremented. Can this be done using for loop? Appreciate your help

• "slash before every quote" problem

  - by Camran

  I have a php page which contains a form. Sometimes this page is submitted to itself (like when pics are uploaded). I wouldn't want users to have to fill in every field again and again, so I use this as a value of a text-input inside the form: value="<?php echo htmlentities(@$_POST['annonsera_headline'],ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8');?>"> This works, except it adds a "\" sign before every double-quote... For instance writing 19" wheels gives after page is submitted to itself: 19\" wheels And if I don't even use htmlentities then everything after the quotes dissappears. What is the problem here?

• How to write a regular expression for "everything between X and Y" for use with preg_replace

  - by pg

  I want to take a variable called $encoded_str and and remove cd1, CD1 and anything between the first 'l' and the last blank space. So for example "lp6 id4 STRINGcd1" would return "STRING". I'm using PHP 4 for now so I can't use str_ireplace, I have this: $encoded_str=str_replace('CD1','',$encoded_str); $encoded_str=str_replace('cd1','',$encoded_str); $encoded_str=preg_replace('X','',$encoded_str); I've RTFM for preg_replace but am a bit confused. What should I replace the X with and can you suggest a decent introductory primer for writing regular expressions?

• Write a foreach loop for array of SimpleXMLElements

  - by mjames

  Hi, I am using the XPath in PHP 5 to parse a XML document. The problem I have is writing a foreach to correctly display the following array: XML document sample value 1 value 2 $xmlfile = 'link_to_file.xml'; $xmlRaw = file_get_contents($xmlfile); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlRaw); $install_files = $xml->xpath('//files'); foreach($install_files as $row) { echo $row['file']; } //var_dump for $row gives the following array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#21 (2) { ["file"]=> string(12) "value 1" ["folder"]=> string(8) "value 2" } } Ideally I would like to get the value by using $row['file'] or $row['folder']. Thanks for any help.

• Why is numpy c extension slow?

  - by Bitwise

  I am working on large numpy arrays, and some native numpy operations are too slow for my needs (for example simple operations such as "bitwise" A&B). I started looking into writing C extensions to try and improve performance. As a test case, I tried the example given here, implementing a simple trace calculation. I was able to get it to work, but was surprised by the performance: for a (1000,1000) numpy array, numpy.trace() was about 1000 times faster than the C extension! This happens whether I run it once or many times. Is this expected? Is the C extension overhead that bad? Any ideas how to speed things up?

• What is a Custom Class?

  - by John Saunders

  Many questions here on SO ask about custom classes. I, on the other hand, have no idea what they're talking about. "Custom class" seems to mean the same thing I mean when I say "class". What did I miss, back in the '80s, that keeps me from understanding? I know that it's possible to purchase a packaged system - for Accounting, ERP, or something like that. You can then customize it, or add "custom code" to make the package do things that are specific to your business. But that doesn't describe the process used in writing a .NET program. In this case, the entire purpose of the .NET Framework is to allow us to write our own code. There is nothing useful out of the box.

• Logging to screen and to a file

  - by robUK

  What design pattern might apply to logging? What is normally used in this type of situation? Any good tutorials? I am writing a client-server application using C89 and gcc 4.4.4. I now need to implement some logging feature that will display log messages on the screen as well as log to a file. However, I don't want to display all log messages (warning, error, critical, unrecoverable, debug, etc). Maybe I can set so that it will display just errors and nothing else. For example, the user might not be interested in the debug messages on the screen output.

• StructureMap: How can i unit test the registry class?

  - by Marius

  I have a registry class like this: public class StructureMapRegistry : Registry { public StructureMapRegistry() { For<IDateTimeProvider>().Singleton().Use<DateTimeProviderReturningDateTimeNow>(); } I want to test that the configuration is according to my intent, so i start writing a test: public class WhenConfiguringIOCContainer : Scenario { private TfsTimeMachine.Domain.StructureMapRegistry registry; private Container container; protected override void Given() { registry = new TfsTimeMachine.Domain.StructureMapRegistry(); container = new Container(); } protected override void When() { container.Configure(i => i.AddRegistry(registry)); } [Then] public void DateTimeProviderIsRegisteredAsSingleton() { // I want to say "verify that the container contains the expected type and that the expected type // is registered as a singleton } } How can verify that the registry is accoring to my expectations? Note: I introduced the container because I didn't see any sort of verification methods available on the Registry class. Idealy, I want to test on the registry class directly.

• Splitting string into array upon token

  - by Gnutt

  I'm writing a script to perform an offsite rsync backup, and whenever the rsyncline recieves some output it goes into a single variable. I then want to split that variable into an array upon the ^M token, so that I can send them to two different logger-sessions (so I get them on seperate lines in the log). My current line to perform the rsync result=rsync --del -az -e "ssh -i $cert" $source $destination 2>&1 Result in the log, when the server is unavailable ssh: connect to host offsite port 22: Connection timed out^M rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(601) [sender=3.0.7]

• Calling Google's Custom Search API via Python

  - by user353829

  I am writing in Python a module that will query Google's Custom Search API and return all listings of domain 'example.com' I Have been reading instructions at https://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/getting_started.html and am a little stumped at the moment. Are my assumptions listed below correct? For example, to search for results that has 'example.com' in the URL, the query is: *'https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=my_key&cx=017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve&q=site:example.com*' *key=my_key*: value of key given by google cx=017576662512468239146: name of the search engine (google)? *omuauf_lfve*: I have no idea what this is q=site:example.com: This should return all results with 'example.com'; e.g. www.a.example.com, b.example.com, example .com

• compromised site

  - by pinniger

  So, I have a web site that has been compromised twice in two weeks. every index.php and .js file gets a script injecting into the source code of the file. The problem is that I have no idea how they're doing it. I've seen this done via sql injection before, but I don't know how they are actually writing to the file. I've dug through the Apache logs but didn't find anything interesting. The site is built using the cakephp framework on a godaddy shared server. Anybody know what secturity settings or log files to check to see how they are doing this?

• how to view associated click function code

  - by llamerr

  For example, i associate following function with some element $('table#users tbody tr:first #save').click(function(){ $(this).closest('tr').remove(); }); Now, if i don't know where this function is stored, is there a way to view associated with click() code? In above example, i want a way to view that in firebug, or in another way $(this).closest('tr').remove(); If I'm writing in console following, i'm get a link to dom inspector >>> ($('table#users tbody tr:first #save').click) function() but link is for jquery library, not the code i want.

• Test Driven Development (TDD) with Rails

  - by macek

  I am looking for TDD resources that are specific to Rails. I've seen the Rails Guide: The Basics of Creating a Rails Plugin which really spurred my interest in the topic. I have the Agile Development with Rails book and I see there's some testing-related information there. However, it seems like the author takes you through the steps of building the app, then adds testing afterward. This isn't really Test Driven Development. Ideally, I'd like a book on this, but a collection of other tutorials or articles would be great if such a book doesn't exist. Things I'd like to learn: Primary goal: Best Practices Unit testing How to utilize Fixtures Possibly using existing development data in place of fixtures What's the community standard here? Writing tests for plugins Testing with session data User is logged in User can access URL /foo/bar Testing success of sending email Thanks for any help!

• user buffer after doing 'write' to file opened with O_DIRECT

  - by user1868481

  I'm using the O_DIRECT flag to write to the disk directly from the user buffer. But as far as I understand, Linux doesn't guarantee that after this call, the data is written. It just writes directly from the user buffer to the physical device using DMA or anything else... Therefore, I don't understand if I can write to the user buffer after the call to 'write' function. I'm sure that example code will help to understand my question: char *user_buff = malloc(...); /* assume it is aligned as needed */ fd = open(..., O_DIRECT); write(fd, ...) memset(user_buff, 0, ...) Is the last line (memset) legal? Is writing to the user buffer valid that is maybe used by DMA to transfer data to the device?

• How to open an html file using the default file handler and to give the window a name (i.e. target)?

  - by paul

  I am writing a warm-up script for a SharePoint server. The idea is to call stsadm and then open an html file containing iframes which touch all the key web pages in my portal. So far so good. The problem is that each time the script is run, a new browser window is opened and I end up with a screen full of browsers. The first idea was to close the browser after 10 minutes or so. This would be easy to do except that Javascript is disabled when an html file is opened from the file system. I then thought I might be able to open the file and set it in a named window (target) which would be reused each time the script runs but I haven't found any way to do this. Does anyone have any ideas? Either to force JS to run or to set the window name or another solution? Thanks.

• Boost ASIO read X bytes synchroniously into a vector

  - by xeross

  Hey, I've been attempting to write a client/server app with boost now, so far it sends and receives but I can't seem to just read X bytes into a vector. If I use the following code vector<uint8_t> buf; for (;;) { buf.resize(4); boost::system::error_code error; size_t len = socket.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(buf), error); if (error == boost::asio::error::eof) break; // Connection closed cleanly by peer. else if (error) throw boost::system::system_error(error); // Some other error. } And the packet is bigger then 4 bytes then it seems it keeps writing into those 4 bytes until the entire packet has been received, however I want it to fetch 4 bytes, then allow me to parse them, and then get the rest of the packet. Can anyone provide me with a working example, or at least a pointer on how to make it work properly ? Regards, Xeross

• Can I subscribe to window-docking events in windows 7 from C#

  - by www.mortenbock.dk

  Hi. I am wondering if it is possible to create an application that could receive a notification when any other application/window is docked with the new windows 7 docking feature (f.ex. Winkey + left arrow) The purpose of my application would be to set up custom rules for certain windows. So for example if I am using Chrome and I press the Win+LEFT keys, then my application would receive a notification, and would be able to say that the window should not resize to 50% of the screen, but should use 70%. I am not very familiar with writing windows applications (mostly do web), so any pointers at how this might be achieved are very welcome. Thanks.

• Rails 3 - raw/html_safe not working in some cases?

  - by Frexuz

  I'm having difficulties with output not being encoded even though I'm using raw or html_safe. This one is writing out the &nbsp in my final HTLM page. def build_tag_cloud(tag_cloud, style_list) tag_cloud.sort!{ |x,y| x.permalink <=> y.permalink } max, min = 0, 0 tag_cloud.each do |tag| max = tag.followers.to_i if tag.followers.to_i > max min = tag.followers.to_i if tag.followers.to_i < min end divisor = ((max - min) / style_list.size) + 1 html = "" tag_cloud.each do |tag| name = raw(tag.name.gsub('&','&amp;').gsub(' ','&nbsp;')) link = raw(link_to "#{name}", {:controller => "/shows", :action => "show", :permalink => tag.permalink}, :class => "#{style_list[(tag.followers.to_i - min) / divisor]}") html += raw("<li>#{link}</li> ") end return raw(html.to_s) end What is allowed in using raw and html_safe? And how should my example above be fixed?

• How to setup custom CSS based on account settings in a Django site?

  - by sdolan

  So I'm writing a Django based website that allows users select a color scheme through an administration interface. I already have middleware/context processors that links the current request (based on domain) to the account. My question is how to dynamically serve the CSS with the account's custom color scheme. I see two options: Add a CSS block to the base template that overrides the styles w/variables passed in through a context processors. Use a custom URL (e.g. "/static/dynamic/css//styles.css") that gets routed to a view that grabs all the necessary values and creates the css file. I'm content with either option, but was wondering if anyone else out there has dealt with similar problems and could give some insight as to "Best Practices".

• How to test obtaining a list of files within a directory using RSpec?

  - by John Topley

  I'm pretty new to the world of RSpec. I'm writing a RubyGem that deals with a list of files within a specified directory and any sub-directories. Specifically, it will use Find.find and append the files to an Array for later output. I'd like to write a spec to test this behaviour but don't really know where to start in terms of faking a directory of files and stubbing Find.find etc. This is what little I have so far: it "should return a list of files within the specified directory" do end Any help much appreciated!

• vb express / visual studio - is it possible to run / debug one form only in a multi form application

  - by Luay

  hi, I have a vb application consisting of several winForms and code files. Is it possible to run / debug only one form without having to run the whole application? To be more specific, one of the forms in my application is the settings form where the user sets his/her desired options. These options are read/written to an xml file. Is it possible to debug just this one form (and not the whole program) to see if the reading/writing went well, if everything displayed correctly... ? If I am thinking the wrong way about this, could you point me in the right direction? By the way, I am using visual basic express / visual studio.

• Extension methods on a static object

  - by Max Malygin

  I know (or so I hear) that writing extension methods for a single stand alone .net class (not an implementation of IEnumerable) is potential code smell. However, for the sake of making the life easier I need to attach a method to the ConfigurationManager class in asp.net. It's a static object so this won't work: public static List<string> GetSupportedDomains(this ConfigurationManager manager) { //the manager needs to be static. } So the question is - is it possible to write an extension method for a static class in .net?

• How to test that invalid arguments raise an ArgumentError exception using RSpec?

  - by John Topley

  I'm writing a RubyGem that can raise an ArgumentError if the arguments supplied to its single method are invalid. How can I write a test for this using RSpec? The example below shows the sort of implementation I have in mind. The bar method expects a single boolean argument (:baz), the type of which is checked to make sure that it actually is a boolean: module Foo def self.bar(options = {}) baz = options.fetch(:baz, true) validate_arguments(baz) end def self.validate_arguments(baz) raise(ArgumentError, ":baz must be a boolean") unless valid_baz?(baz) end def self.valid_baz?(baz) baz.is_a?(TrueClass) || baz.is_a?(FalseClass) end end
