|
For those who use emacs to edit web pages - the built-in CSS and Javascript modes seem to work
just fine for editing files.css and files.js, but the built-in html modes fall flat on modern web pages
which contain a mix of html, javascript inside <script> tags and javascript inside button "onclick"

13 Jun 2016, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, running mhttpd on port 443
|
mhttpd running as non-root cannot bind to standard https port 443. By default, mhttpd uses port
8443 and it works just fine, but some applications such as the SSLlabs https tester insist on using
port 443.

13 Jun 2016, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, example ssl certificate removed
|
I removed the example ssl certificate from the midas git repository (ssl_cert.pem). Now every midas
installation must generate their own certificate - because to have any security at all each encryption
private key has to be unique (and it has to be secret).

Confirmed, this is a bug in mlogger. It should be creating *2* files, one with the before-compression checksum and one with the after-compression checksum.
At
least both checksums are written to midas.log, so you can grep them from there. K.O.
