I want to write simple firefox extension / script or anything to change URLs from HTTP to HTTPS for selected websites (e.g. facebook). That thing is actually bypassing some security checks in my network.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed? I can deal with language as far its C++ or Python (something else would just take more time that's all )
Does anyone have the problem where clicking a URL in an email in Thunderbird doesn't start up Firefox? It used to work in previous Fedora releases
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a PHP script written that is checking a string to see if it contains a link in it (i.e. a URL). I have the following if statement, that uses 3 possible regular expressions to determine if there is a link or not.
Code:
// check if we found a link
// links are denoted by strings that:
// - contain http://
// - contain www.*.*
[Code]....
I'm not convinced yet that writing a shell script to do this is the best course of action. If someone is capable of doing this with a Perl or a Python script that's fine too. If you want to make it super high performance and write it in assembly
I have recently merged two Joomla 1.0 sites I ran into one. I imported the articles I wanted to keep to the new site, and I have the old site's domain pointing as an alias at the new site. The new site is www.theouthousers.com . The old site was www.bludblood.com .
I also have the core SEF URLs on, using the htaccess.txt file that came with Joomla.
I have one writer for the old site who linked to his articles in various places, so I am trying to set up redirects for him so that he doesn't have to change all of his links.
For instance, I need something like:
http://www.bludblood.com/joomla/inde...d=25&Itemid=51
To redirect to the equivalent location on the new site:
[url]
And I also need specific links like:
[url]
To redirect to their new counterparts:
[url]
Keeping in mind that www.bludblood.com is now an alias of www.theouthousers.com, is there any way to do this? I have been trying with rewrite rules and redirects, and cannot seem to achieve the desired effect.
Tried various versions of:
Code:
Redirect [url] [url]
With the http, without, as regexps, as 301s, as permanents, etc, and it just will not work. Also tried as RewriteRule.
Here's a challenge I've been struggling for months with:
I have a bash script that reads URL addresses of our internal server and then executes some test commands on them. Something like this:
Code:
read -p "Enter URL: " url
sh execute-what-ever-to $url
After copy-pasting the URL the user taps the enter key and the script proceeds, but here comes the tricky part: I want this to work without the need to press the enter key after copy-pasting the URL.
"read -n" does not work in this case, as the URLs vary greatly in length. However, the URLs always end to the same string. They could be like "http://url1/END", "http://url2/END" and so on. So this ending string "END" could be theoretically used to recognize that the whole URL has been pasted.
I'm using wget to retrieve a long list of URLs, a small proportion of which fail, hence:
Code:
wget --input-file=urls.txt
Is there a way to log the urls that have failed? Unfortunatley wget does not output the current URL being processed (and then the status), so hard to see grepping the output helping.
Or should I use some alternative like curl, wmget?
I upgraded from Firefox 5.0 to 6.0 and now the SUSEfox Extension is no longer compatible.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am developing an extension for firefox that enables users to chat with any others who happen to be browsing the same website at the same time. The xul file adds a tool bar with a button "Enable Chat" in the browser toolbox. when a user clicks the Enable chat button, the server initiates the chat. I went through many tutorials for extension development. They have helped. But I cant seem to get my extension up properly. Ill just put up the contents of my files for extension..

I made the pointer to the extension in a file named "blazebutton @anywhere.com" and saved it in the firefox profile folder "/home/neethusha/.mozilla/firefox/d5ma3rr9.dev/extensions"

i just downloaded and installed opensuse 11.3 64 bit kde on my laptop.

i installed all my favourite firefox extensions including video downloadhelper downloadhelper - media download firefox extension an extension that can download videos from videos and other video sites.
all of my installed firefox extensions seem to be working except video downloadhelper.
when i try to download videos with it nothing happens.
previously i had opensuse 11.2 gnome 64 bit installed on my laptop, and the video downloadhelper extension worked fine.
i think this problem might have something to do with the way opensuse integrates firefox with kde.

I basically want to transfer firefox settings from one machine to another (or from one user to another) which includes some extensions. Instead of running the browser and installing the extension manually, I just want to copy and paste the relevant files.
I noticed that the folder name where the 'extensions' folder is present is different for different users. And just copying to that folder does not work. code...
I'm guessing there are other configuration files that I need to modify. Can someone tell me right way to go about this?

I have a file with 200 000 lines and I want to append the fields of each line based on matching first field. The resulting file should have 70 000 columns but has "only" 18 000. The command I'm using is working perfectly with a smaller file, wich lead to 14 000 columns. Could there be a limit in number of fields that awk can handle ? Here's my awk command :
Code:
awk -F, 'END { for (k in _) print _[k] } { _[$1] = $1 in _ ? _[$1] FS $4 : $1","$4 } ' file > out
Also, this command writes ^M (windows line break) after each columns. Removing them is easy but where do they come from ? Working on Ubuntu 10.10

*I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
My issue is I can't handle the files with spaces in their name, I've donde the below script to print each file found inside folder and subbfolders with "find".
I would like to "ls" to each file found with its complete path and with its basename too.
Code:
files=$(find . -type f)
for each in "$files"
do
ls -l "$each" # 1rst option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo "$each")" # 2nd option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo $(basename "$each"))" # 1nd option I've tried to list with it basename
[Code].....
How can I list "ls -l" in both cases (with full path and with basename) when there are files with spaces in their name?
Need to handle SIGSEGV error when pbuf size is less than size. inside lib.:

A question of ODBC correctness - maybe someone knows.
Code:
// statement handle is sth, connection handle is dbch
SQLExecDirect(sth, ...);
// ... bind var, fetch results ...
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, sth); // free statement handle
SQLEndTran(SQLHANDLE_DBC, dbch, SQL_COMMIT);
(error checking removed for clarity).
To my mind this seems wrong - surely the statement handle should be free'd only after the commit is done? Or maybe not. I theorize about the ODBC library like this: a whole set of statements can be created, run, executed in one transaction (which is held at the connection level), and only after all that is a commit/rollback done. So maybe it's OK. Even so it still feels weird. What is written above works, but there are rare and very difficult to replicate problems with this code, and I wonder if a premature free might be the cause...?

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy problem is this:I have a number of directories, all containing files of different name lenghts, including letters, numbers and possibly spaces. I want to recursively rename all of these files, so that only the _last_ 5 digits (not counting the extension) remain. In other words: I want to cut off all but the last 5 digits and not touch the extension.
I've tried to read up on tr, rename (perl version), sed, cut etc. and browsed through some threads here, but so far couldn't quite figure out how to do it.
If someone could point me to the right (standard) CLI tools and syntax.
Reproducible with Firefox 3.6.6 (installed from Ubuntu 10.04 repository), on Dell D620, Ubuntu 10.04 Steps to reproduce:
1) start Firefox from command line "firefox -P"
2) create new Firefox profile on NTFS volume (mounted with NTFS-3g)
3) add NoScript extension (through extension manager Get Add-ons), restart Firefox as suggested
4) extension is not added to Firefox In case at step 2) profile is created on Linux volume, at 4) extension is added to firefox.I'm not 100% sure, but I think this bug is related to Firefox 3.6 update (no problems with Firefox 3.5). I did not make proper investigation, but I have feeling same problem applies to Thunderbird 3.1.This issue does not allow to share Firefox/Thunderbird profile on dual boot machine (Ubuntu/WindowsXP).
