a list of 50+ similar services that are absolutely free and require no e-mail registration to use. Included in the list are file size limits, download limits and the amount of time the file remains on the server for download.
So far in this series (click here for an index of the complete series, as well as supporting screencasts), I have illustrated how to develop both a LO-REST, AJAX-Friendly service, as well as HI-REST services adhering to the unified API of HTTP. In the very first post, I touched on some aspects of REST, but I haven’t spent much time on the benefits of following a RESTful architectural style. I made mention of the fact that RESTful services follow the "way of the web". As it turns out, this proves to be quite powerful.
In this excerpt, one of a series from Java Network Programming, 3rd Edition, Elliotte Rusty Harold demonstrates Java's handling of URLs, URIs, proxy servers, password protection, and HTTP GET.
This article describes common misconceptions about Uniform Resource Locator (URL) encoding, then attempts to clarify URL encoding for HTTP, before presenting frequent problems and their solutions. While this article is not specific to any programming language, we illustrate the problems in Java and finish by explaining how to fix URL encoding problems in Java, and in a web application at several levels.
FNV hashes are designed to be fast while maintaining a low collision rate. The FNV speed allows one to quickly hash lots of data while maintaining a reasonable collision rate. The high dispersion of the FNV hashes makes them well suited for hashing nearly identical strings such as URLs, hostnames, filenames, text, IP addresses, etc.
