https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling

When navigating through different networks of the Internet, proxy servers and HTTP tunnels are facilitating access to content on the World Wide Web. A proxy can be on the user's local computer, or anywhere between the user's computer and a destination server on the Internet. This page outlines some basics about proxies and introduces a few configuration options.

It's not worth bemoaning that #ActivityPub is, in fact, an open protocol.

And this is because it's not worth bemoaning that #SMTP is an open protocol. Or Hypertextual Transfer Protocol (#HTTP) is an open protocol.

Or for that matter that anyone can use these protocols as they see fit.

Do I like every use of these protocols? Not at all. We can't always have good things because shady assholes insist on exploiting the open web for their own greed.

The trade off is that we get to have an open web.

Now occasionally, I get people popping by who tell me, "Screw you! I don't care about an open web! I just want to keep my community intact!"

But the only reason your community exists is because we have open protocols.

If you don't think so, find me all those thriving communities still using AppleTalk or IPX/SPX. Wait. There aren't any.

And that's because the only entities that have bothered with a *closed, proprietary* protocol happen to be for-profit corporations that have largely discontinued them due to -- again, wait for it -- the prevalence of open protocols.

Which brings us to a further problem.

You can't use an open protocol while simultaneously pushing for it to be closed. The #W3C already validated ActivityPub. The proverbial cat is out of the bag.

So yes, corporations will adopt ActivityPub. That's already happening. #Meta, #Automattic, #Medium, #Flipboard -- many more to come -- are developing for it.

But openness also means you can build upon it. You can create your own thriving communities. And some of these communities can be private if you so choose.

Just as it's possible for you to build your own newsletter or publish your own webpage, it's possible for you built your own #Fediverse server.

You see, openness cuts both ways.

I wonder what you think. Where would be the best place for randomMDN, a bot posting random articles from MDN docs?

In a micro service architecture, how do you handle failed calls to a service you depend on?
We did a hasty implementation that responded with a 504, but that gives unintended consequences in the client. Now we're back to just bailing with a 500 and an error message telling the caller that we couldn't reach a dependency. These are mostly internal APIs.

Does anyone know if http/1.1 connection reuse is supposed to be per-origin (pre-dns) or per-resolved-ip-and-socket? That is, if two url origins resolve to the same ip and port, is it legit to send keepalive http requests against both url origins on the same tcp connection? rfc7230 talks about connecting to origins as if the dns resolution step didn't exist, but I can't tell if that means I'm supposed to pool by pre-dns origin #http

@anildash The problem I have with #ActivityPub as the operator of a #static #personal #website is that I while I might be able to generate an #outbox #feed with shell scripts the rest of the Fediverse can't do anything with it, and there's no way I can fetch the equivalent #inbox for local processing.

No, I have to run a server that talks #ActivityPub instead of just being able to do stuff locally and push to my #HTTP server.

Quick Question about #HTTP #forms and @enhance_dev :

If I have a page with a signin form called "/auth" and an API route called "/login" that the form POSTs to but the user supplied the wrong password, I want to respond with a 400 status, but also redirect the user back to the form.

return {status: 400, location: '/auth', json: {error: 'some error'}};

^ this displays the /login page with an error

Does anyone know if there's a valid character/byte sequence that a http 1.1 client can send *between* keepalive requests to test whether the tcp connection is still open? Can I just send `"\r\n"` intermittently?

Does anybody here use the #MSGraph API for accessing #OutlookCom / #ExchangeOnline?

Deleting events via my app used to work fine. However, ~8 weeks ago, MS Graph started including a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header in its "204" responses. The event is still deleted, but my #HTTP client rejects the response because it violates RFC 9112.

One thing to know is that while the suite of API plugins is comprehensive, you don't always need a plugin because Steampipe is also ... an HTTP client!

#NGINX and other #HTTP servers will throw a fit if a client sends 1000 requests, and literally tell the client to go away. In the #java programming language, the #HttpClient built into the #jdk throws an IOException, without any further specialization. The #Jetty client for HTTP/2 does throw a specific error and also indicates the lost frame ID, for easy resumes. I guess we could switch clients, or I could find a nice way to catch this error and resume communications. Any suggestions?

Today I was reminded that HTTP/2 servers can deny communication quite unceremoniously by sending back a #GOAWAY signal. What do you do to resume communication? Simply retry the request? Or also refresh the #HTTP client that makes the requests?
