30 Nov 2015, Konstantin Olchanski, Release, Final MIDAS JSON-RPC API

The final bits of the JSON-RPC API to MIDAS are committed. The API uses the Javascript Promise mechanism (supported on all
supported platforms - MacOS, Windows, Linux Ubuntu, el5, el6, el7).

Here is example conversion of the function "generate midas message" from old-style AJAX to JSON-RPC:

28 Jan 2016, Konstantin Olchanski, Suggestion, script command limited to 256 characters; remove limit?
|
Thank you for reporting this problem:
a) ODB key *names* are restricted to 31 characters (32 bytes, last byte is a NUL), not 256 characters.

It should not, people have used malloc() for decades now without much injury to themselves. (Thomas corrects me: some people had big injury to their pride, |

22 Mar 2016, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, emacs web-mode.el
|
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).
