This article suggests that the rejection of encoded slashes by Apache is a security feature: to protect vulnerable CGI scripts.
Page 3 - Server Limits for Apache Security →
Discusses the introduction of AllowEncodedSlashes as an Apache directive. The article is suggesting that it was introduced as a way of disguising the web server. I’m guessing that the ‘encoded…
Wondering what the pic of Obama outside no. 10 was doing in the advertising space on the Southern train I got home. No caption, just pic.

My question/bug report about hpricot not, or so it would appear, supporting the xpath processing-instruction() node test.
About to shower after another 10k practice run. Oh, and my nipples are bleeding. Good huh.
Found the —no-ignore “svn st” switch just as I was about to write about my svn-ignore script. Now I have to think of something else to do.
Just added reevoo to getsatisfaction. Waiting to be confirmed as an employee…
Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or... →
Tom told me about this: It’s how I managed to transfer some iTunes purchased music (it wasn’t appearing in my list of purchases in iTunes) from my iPod back to my laptop.
Can anyone recommend some Mac software to copy iTunes purchased music from my iPod back to my computer?

TwonkyVision UPnP MediaServer →
Commercial software that allowed me to stream, via uPnP, my iTunes library to my Intempo GX-01. Unfortunately, it looks shit and a bit too complicated for my needs.
Nullriver Software : Products : MediaLink →
Nice and simple Mac preference pane that enables uPnP sharing of an iTunes library. Unfortunately, although my Intempo GX-01 radio could see the tracks in my library it couldn’t play any of them;…
Allegro Media Server - UPnP Media Server →
More uPnP software. It did the trick although it’s not great to look at. I think it also shares other media over uPnP which means it’s probably a little too much for me. Oh, and it’s commercial…
