PirateBay SOPA Press Release

INTERNETS, 18th of January 2012.

PRESS RELEASE, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear". He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture.

Because of Edisons patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North american east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them - like Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.

So, the whole basis of this industry, that today is screaming about losing control over immaterial rights, is that they circumvented immaterial rights. They copied (or put in their terminology: "stole") other peoples creative works, without paying for it. They did it in order to make a huge profit. Today, they're all successful and most of the studios are on the Fortune 500 list of the richest companies in the world. Congratulations - it's all based on being able to re-use other peoples creative works. And today they hold the rights to what other people create. If you want to get something released, you have to abide to their rules. The ones they created after circumventing other peoples rules.

The reason they are always complainting about "pirates" today is simple. We've done what they did. We circumvented the rules they created and created our own. We crushed their monopoly by giving people something more efficient. We allow people to have direct communication between eachother, circumventing the profitable middle man, that in some cases take over 107% of the profits (yes, you pay to work for them). It's all based on the fact that we're competition. We've proven that their existance in their current form is no longer needed. We're just better than they are.

And the funny part is that our rules are very similar to the founding ideas of the USA. We fight for freedom of speech. We see all people as equal. We believe that the public, not the elite, should rule the nation. We believe that laws should be created to serve the public, not the rich corporations.

The Pirate Bay is truly an international community. The team is spread all over the globe - but we've stayed out of the USA. We have Swedish roots and a swedish friend said this: The word SOPA means "trash" in Swedish. The word PIPA means "a pipe" in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence. They want to make the internet inte a one way pipe, with them at the top, shoving trash through the pipe down to the rest of us obedient consumers. The public opinion on this matter is clear. Ask anyone on the street and you'll learn that noone wants to be fed with trash. Why the US government want the american people to be fed with trash is beyond our imagination but we hope that you will stop them, before we all drown.

SOPA can't do anything to stop TPB. Worst case we'll change top level domain from our current .org to one of the hundreds of other names that we already also use. In countries where TPB is blocked, China and Saudi Arabia springs to mind, they block hundreds of our domain names. And did it work? Not really. To fix the "problem of piracy" one should go to the source of the problem. The entertainment industry say they're creating "culture" but what they really do is stuff like selling overpriced plushy dolls and making 11 year old girls become anorexic. Either from working in the factories that creates the dolls for basically no salary or by watching movies and tv shows that make them think that they're fat.

In the great Sid Meiers computer game Civilization you can build Wonders of the world. One of the most powerful ones is Hollywood. With that you control all culture and media in the world. Rupert Murdoch was happy with MySpace and had no problems with their own piracy until it failed. Now he's complainting that Google is the biggest source of piracy in the world - because he's jealous. He wants to retain his mind control over people and clearly you'd get a more honest view of things on Wikipedia and Google than on Fox News.

Some facts (years, dates) are probably wrong in this press release. The reason is that we can't access this information when Wikipedia is blacked out. Because of pressure from our failing competitors. We're sorry for that.

THE PIRATE BAY, (K)2012

Anonymous Hackers SOPA Statement

Bright, and Clear: The Future of Free Speech

A rallying cry on the occassion of the Web's first mass blackout

As we watch the web go dark today in protest against the SOPA/PIPA censorship bills, let's take a moment and reflect on why this fight is so important. We may have learned that free speech is what makes America great, or instinctively resist attempts at silencing our voices. But these are abstract principles, divorced from the real world and our daily lives.

Free speech is the foundation of a free society. We can have the vote all we want. We can donate money wherever we want. But unless we're able to talk to each other and figure out collectively _what_ we want, those things don't matter.

We believe a healthy society doesn't allow its artists, musicians and other creators to starve. The copyright industry has been justly criticized for abusing the political process in a desperate attempt to maintain its role as a cultural gatekeeper, a business model made obsolete by a digital age of free copies. But the RIAA, MPAA & IFPI deserve our opprobrium for making enormous profits while often leaving the very artists it claims to represent *poorer* than they would be as independents.[1] While the public may have greater access to the few artists deemed sufficiently marketable to gain mass media promotion, fewer and fewer of us are making art and music in our own lives.

It's time we make a stand for a better world - not merely take rearguard actions to preserve a status quo that is _already_ failing us. Accordingly, we present the following list of demands:

• We call on national legislatures to not only reject ACTA efforts to globalize the American intellectual property regime, but to abolish the WIPO.
• We demand the elimination of the DMCA's registration requirement for qualification under the "safe harbor" provision. It's absurd that a website owner needs to mail in a form and pay a $100+ fee to the government to register a contact for copyright violations. A web page at a standard location (a la robots.txt) should suffice.
• We expect courts to apply penalties just as severe to rightsholders who issue abusive takedown notices as those applied to copyright violators.
• No more Jammie Thomases. Any penalties for copyright infringement must be sane and reasonable and not based unsubstantiated, outlandish claims of harm.
• The Department of Justice must begin an anti-trust investigation into the copyright industry, with a specific focus on collusion between rightsholders and ISPs in monitoring Internet users, and payola and cross ownership with mass media.
• We demand an end to sales of radio frequencies into private hands. We hold that spectrum is a form of speech - it rightly belongs to the people and is not the government's to auction off to begin with.
• We demand that ISPs stop interfering with file sharing via BitTorrent or any other protocol.
• We recognize a right of total ownership, not merely licensing, of products we have purchased and a right to tinker and modify them as we see fit. The Library of Congress should not be determining the acceptable boundaries of technology.
• We reject the principle of contributory infringement entirely. While there may be bad uses, there is no bad code.
• We expect legislators and judges to make efforts to educate themselves about the technologies they oversee, and to call on and respect the opinions of technical experts when necessary. The Internet makes nerds of us all.
• All research receiving any public funding, directly or indirectly, must be placed in the public domain upon publication.
• For the sake of innovation and competitiveness, the US Patent & Trade Office must immediately cease issuing software and business method patents, and declare all such existing patents null and void. We unequivocally reject any patents on mathematical formulas and genes or other naturally-occurring substances (human or otherwise).
• Copyright and patent terms must be reduced to reasonable lengths (two and five years from the time of creation, respectively). Works should only be eligible for the length of protection in the effect when created - the continuing extension of terms to protect Disney's ownership of Mickey Mouse must cease.
• We recognize a broad right of "fair use" as essential to a vibrant and creative culture. We will remix, sample, mash up, translate, perform, parody and otherwise create derivative works as we see fit.
• Courts must accord bloggers the same rights as mainstream reporters. The right to a free press originally meant a literal, physical printing press - not membership in some government sanctioned elite. Blogs are the modern day digital equivalent.

We call upon all freedom loving Internauts to join us. We further call upon our legislators, bureaucrats and the media & telecommunications industries to immediately begin implementing our demands. The future of free speech is bright, and clear - either stand with us or get out of the way. [1]

PirateBay and Anonymous SOPA Press Releases originally appeared on AskApache.com

This is part 2 of the exhaustive Htaccess Tutorial. I realized it was so lengthy that search engines and visitors were having real problems with it, so I moved half of it here. But this gave me the opportunity to add a ton of new stuff that I hadn't been able to add to the main htaccess tutorial. And now this new part 2 is already twice as big as the original! To sum up, this is a work in progress.

Moving Half of Original Tutorial to a new URL - SEO Rewriting

Well, the original tutorial was at /htaccess/apache-htaccess.html, but it was such a huge article that search engines were dropping it! So I split it into 3 new urls.

1. /htaccess/htaccess.html - 1
2. /htaccess/htaccess-rewrites.html - Rewrites
3. /htaccess/apache-htaccess-2.html - Part 2

The /htaccess/apache-htaccess-2.html is a lot of unfinished new stuff, and the /htaccess/htaccess-rewrites.html (this very page) still needs to be split several times to get the filesize down.

301 Link Juice

The /apache-htaccess.html url has been around since 2006, and it was full of original ideas and examples for using htaccess. Almost every htaccess guide or tutorial published since then has many of the examples and ideas from that tutorial, (I encourage people to modify and republish everything on this site according to copyright). I know it, the authors sometimes know it, but the main point is Google for sure knows it. That's the beauty of creating unique content, Google sees that. So that /apache-htaccess.html link has extreme link juice, from all the sites, books, papers, and presentations that have linked to it since 2006.

Filesize Is important

I like to use my blog as a way to keep notes about my research organized, and I am extremely good at doing research, unfortunately, that means I have a huge article. The filesize for the html alone is larger than all the other resources like javascript and images, combined.

• So that means it is very difficult to view on a mobile device, or a slow connection.
• For google-bot and other search engine crawlers and robots, this is a huge problem (I made a big mistake letting it get that size).
• The robot has to parse an enormous single html file, containing hundreds/thousands of external and internal links, and its such an issue they can decide to just skip indexing that url until the filesize is manageable.
• Once again, it's all about the human experience, a huge single file is not good for anyone who isn't printing it out to read offline.

Starting Fresh without losing juice

So since the page wasn't being indexed much since it was so huge, I decided to split up the content into new separate urls and utilize a 301 Redirect to transfer all the link juice from /apache-htaccess.html to /htaccess.html.

301 Redirect Timeline

1. Now, the idea is to take the first pages from the original multi-page guide, do a little improvement on that content, and save it to the new url /htaccess.html.
2. Then just continue taking the next page from the remaining original guide and creating new pages using the original links structure. /apache-htaccess-2.html, /apache-htaccess-3.html, etc.. This is a secondary backup to the new /htaccess.html url, which will receive the 301 link juice from the old url, but these secondary pages will help keep the links on external sites good.
3. Then, I setup a 301 Redirect in my .htaccess file to redirect the old url to the new /htaccess.html url.
4. Finally, I delete the old url and it is replaced forever by a 301 Redirect pointing to my new location, filesize problems eliminated.

301 Redirect Code Used

This is so easy to do with RedirectMatch, way faster and easier than using mod_rewrite to handle this, and much less overhead. Note that this is a general command that I will leave up for a few weeks and slowly tighten it up by looking at my Google Analytics and Apache Logs. For instance, this first redirectmatch rule is an older RedirectMatch I still have active to redirect all the old links pointing at /2006/htaccess/apache-htaccess.html to /htaccess/apache-htaccess.html from when I ditched the date-based permalinks back in 2007, and you can see it is a little tighter than the 2nd one which also redirects requests for apache-htaccess.html/feed/ or trackback or whatever.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/2006/.*apache-htaccess.html$ http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-htaccess.html
RedirectMatch 301 ^/.*apache-htaccess.html(.*)$ http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/htaccess.html$1

Advanced 301 Redirects for SEO

I wrote a couple of articles that go into detail about maximizing the SEO with linking and redirects, it remains one of my most helpful articles to anyone trying to rank higher the right way, the Google way.. SEO Secrets of AskApache Part 2

Htaccess Rewrites for Moving Urls originally appeared on AskApache.com

WARNING! This is for advanced users of the shell, this is NOT a howto or tutorial. The thing is, I googled how to uninstall cpanel and for once in my life I came up empty.. And certainly the cpanel official sites themselves don't provide any instructions other than to say "Dont uninstall it, reinstall your entire operating system without it.".. they sure don't seem confident that they know exactly what their code is doing. Cpanel is great for most people, perfect for many situations, so don't get me wrong.. this is just for fun.

Why Uninstall?

Why? Because I have always built my servers, php installations, perl installs, ruby, iptables, everything from source. I read the INSTALL/README docs, I read the man pages, and I read the info pages as well. I google for configuration advice, I google for tips, and I don't need a web-based perl script messing my stuff up!

The main problems I had with cpanel, which really is a great bit of software for millions of website developers, is that it was incredibly sneaky! I used it for about 6 months and spent that entire time trying to figure out what the heck it was doing. A couple issues that I really disliked, it takes over your bind install, it takes over your apache install, it takes over your php install. And although it does let you configure some things (very few) for custom configurations and the like, I just don't need any of that. By removing the darn thing I am saving GIGS of space on my server, tons of bandwidth, and most importantly to me I am saving CPU and processing time along with RAM and IO speed.

Anything Else

Please.. I could go on for DAYS! Another reason I have wanted to be rid of cpanel is that I like my servers to be as lean and mean as possible. This means I like as few files and processes as possible. There are many benefits to this, like it's much easier for my integrity checking software and rootkit/antivirus software to run and drastically reduces the false positives. And there is that glaring security issue of constantly having cpanel run it's own software to create the WHM/Cpanel web interface, which is accessible online. I haven't researched cpanel security at all, it's possible that it never has security problems that are published, but for me, why take the chance?

Warning - Caution!

The following is just a quick reference of some of the commands I used to uninstall cpanel. This is for advanced users of the shell. If you aren't that advanced and you run a single one of these commands without fully understanding it, you will probably kill your server, probably lose everything on it permanently, probably not have a website or email for weeks.. So backup all your data FIRST. Also, if you aren't 100% sure you won't run into problems, you should contact your hosts technical support - but be prepared for some MAJOR negativity.. cpanel makes things very easy for hosts, and the last thing tech support wants is to fix a server broken by someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

Last Warning!

Unless you understand what theses commands do and the purpose they serve, do not try any of this. These are not the exact commands I used verbatim, they are also not in order. I only put them up here because I was so amazed that google didn't have any uninstall cpanel intructions. Hopefully it's not a conspiracy that will get my site taken down.. ;)

That said and out of the way, it really only took me about 10 minutes to uninstall cpanel completely. But keep in mind I have been closely monitoring and debugging cpanel for 6 months, so I knew what I was doing. And finally, I do apologize for not having better instructions.. but hey, if you don't get this then you have no business trying to figure out how to uninstall cpanel! It's great software and shouldn't be removed unless you are fully capable of managing email/dns/www/ftp and any/all other servers and services on your machine by hand.

Do This First

I have a few drafts I'm working on at the moment with specifics, but for now you will have to figure it out with google. Basically you want to make sure you don't totally knock your machine offline without being able to reconnect. What I do is compile a static version of openssh and a few other security-type shell tools, and configure this binary sshd to run by using inittab, which is the file run by init (pid 1) and makes sure if it dies it is restarted. Here is my /etc/inittab to run the static sshd binary:

hh:12345:respawn:/failover/os/sbin/aassh -D -q -u0 -f /failover/os/etc/aassh

Another trick is to keep a detached screen logged in to root. That way if you mess up your sudoers or securetty or pam or whatever, you can just reattach and fix it.

Finally, you may want to setup your syslog to start earlier than usual, and set up more than normal verbosity. ( I take it to the max ). Then you should setup a 2nd server or machine somewhere to act as a syslog server. Lastly, configure your web server syslog to copy all messages to the remote syslog you set up. I use a reverse ssh tunnel to encrypt the syslog packets, but when I do something serious like reboot after uninstalling cpanel, I prepare for it by adding additional networking routes on my machine to make sure I will get some logs even if sshd cant start or even if my network addresses aren't brought up correctly.

If that sounds easy to you, please continue. If you are saying: Wha??? Continue in read-only mode.

Also, you can't just uninstall cpanel, I have replaced a lot of cpanel already, like building my own bind, apache, php, syslog and making sure they work and aren't being tampered with by cpanel. Basically cpanel runs everything on your server in most cases, so you should prepare by creating your own static software to replace cpanel, and make sure it works.

Find files Accessing /var/cpanel

More than likely these will need to be killed.

lsof +w -Rg -nP +c15 -x f +D /var/cpanel
lsof +w -Rg -nP +c15 -x f +D /usr/local/cpanel

Killing cpanel

Just an example, your machine may have a lot more than these, I have been slowly taking control of my machine back from cpanel for 6 months, so it was easier for me.

for P in tailwatchd queueprocd cpanellogd exim; do pkill -9 $P; done

alias NA='nice find $PWD -mount -depth'
alias NAF='nice find $PWD -mount -depth | xargs -IF87 file F87'

Watch out for crontab

An example of the sneakiness (from my POV, from most it's called builtin robustness) that cpanel does is automagically adding crontab entries that make it behave similarly to a self-propagating virus. If you don't disable the cronjobs and kill the right processes within a short period of time, be prepared for a magic resurrection.

Here's my awesome crontab information function, you will need to check every file, it lists the default crons on my box, and every users crontab, but it can't account for other cron software like at and other crons.

function askapache_crontab()
{
  local GG i;
  for i in `getent passwd|cut -d ":" -f1`;
  do
    GG=$(sudo crontab -u $i -l 2>$N6 | tr -s '\n\000' | sed '/^#/d');
    [[ ${#GG} -gt 3 ]] && sleep 1 && echo -e "$i \n\n${GG}"
  done;
   sleep 4;
   ls -aLls1ch --color=always /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly,d} | sed '/^total/d; /\ drwxr-xr-x/d';

Find INIT scripts with cpanel

This is the main startup script: /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startup

I had no idea ruby-on-rails was being controlled by cpanel.. sneaky bugger. You can tell by all of these advanced unix commands just how difficult it would be to uninstall cpanel, its totally like the Alien!

Turn off cpanel services

You should remove the below delete command and start by just disabling the inits by turning them off. Then reboot. Then delete. If your machine won't reboot, I told you so, Cpanel told you so, and likely your host told you so.

for S in cpanel ror securetmp fastmail exim; do R=$(command chkconfig --level 123456 $S off ||echo); R=$(command chkconfig --del $S ||echo); done

HTTPD

If you are running chrooted httpd then you'll need to make sure you don't delete your entire webserver on accident. Here's a relevant part from the /etc/init.d/httpd script.

# the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary
if [ -e "/etc/chroothttpd" ]; then
        HTTPD=/usr/local/cpanel/bin/chroothttpd
else
        HTTPD=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
fi

Finding files owned by cpanel

Some super cool bash commands in this post.. let's start with one to find all the files and folders on your machine owned by cpanel. Check your /etc/passwd file for your machines specific usernames and groups. This command saves all the filenames to ~/cpanel-files-backup.txt, which is used by tar next to create a backup of all of them.

{ find / -mount -depth -maxdepth 150 \( -group cpanel -o   -group cpanel-phpmyadmin -o -group cpanel-phppgadmin   -o -group cpanelphpmyadmin   -o -group cpanelphppgadmin   -o -group cpanelhorde   -o -group cpanelroundcube \) -print; find / -mount -depth -maxdepth 150 \( -user cpanel -o   -user cpanel-phpmyadmin -o -user cpanel-phppgadmin   -o -user cpanelphpmyadmin   -o -user cpanelphppgadmin   -o -user cpanelhorde   -o -user cpanelroundcube \) -print; } > ~/cpanel-files-backup.txt

Here's another way to search directories.

 grep --color=always -Hir cpanel /var

Create the Backup

Note that you must have the latest version of tar for this exact command, also you should backup /var/cpanel and /usr/local/cpanel and /etc and heck the whole machine why dontcha!

tar -T ~/cpanel-files-backup.txt -cvz --checkpoint=1000 --checkpoint-action="ttyout=\rHit %s checkpoint #%u" -f /cpanel-files-backup.tgz --totals

Remove Files

Once you do this your upstream without a paddle, you better make sure you know what you're doing with this. This removes all those files.

cat ~/cpanel-files-backup.txt | xargs -I'F87' rm -vfr F87

Additionally you will want to remove /usr/local/cpanel and /var/cpanel - What I always do when running as root is alias my rm command to instead simply move the files to a .trash folder. That way if something goes bork you have a better chance at fixing it.

Find Group-Owned Files

find / -mount -depth -maxdepth 150 \
\(  -group cpanel -o \
  -group cpanel-phpmyadmin \
  -o -group cpanel-phppgadmin \
  -o -group cpanelphpmyadmin \
  -o -group cpanelphppgadmin \
  -o -group mailman \

Reinstall CSF

The only thing I actually used that came with cpanel is the CSF/LFD Firewall package, which is a fantastic piece of software. I had to reinstall this, and to get it working without cpanel add the following line to the csf.conf

GENERIC = "1"

Thats It

Now once you've cleaned up everything, you should try everything conceivable to get an error before rebooting. Like you should start and stop every service in /etc/init.d/, you should use telinit to check various runlevels (which keeps your sshd connection still live). Go all out, should take at least a full hour.

Another thing I like to do is rebuild alot of my source-built software again in case anything got messed up. I upgrade perl from cpanels 5.8.8 to 5.10, which is pretty thorough, and you know, reinstall anything else I think I might need. One of the benefits of compiling your own software is all I have to do is cd to the source directory and type make -B && ( { make test || make check || make checks || make tests; } || echo ) && sudo make install and that's it. The tests/checks are optional of course.

If anyone actually ever reads this and does it, please share your advice here.. everybody knows we need it! Good Luck

HOWTO: Uninstall CPANEL over SSH originally appeared on AskApache.com

I was trying to find an official, authoritative list of HTTP Status Codes but I kept finding lists that weren't authoritative or complete. So I searched and found my answer in the Apache HTTP Server source code. Once I had the exact HTTP Status Codes and resulting Error Documents sent by Apache, I researched deeper into HTTP Status Codes by reading as many related RFC's as I could find, and several other software source codes were explored. This is the most authoritative list I know of, if you can do better leave a comment and I'll update it. Another thing to keep in mind, the Status code number itself is what is used by software and hardware to make determinations, the phrase returned by the status code is for the human only and does not have any weight other than informing the user.. So "503 Service Unavailable", "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable", and "503 Get the heck outta here" are all completely valid.

Update March 9, 2009: A lot of sites on the web have updated their HTTP status code lists to include the HTTP Status codes listed on this page, including Wikipedia, IANA, W3C, and others, so rest assured this info is accurate and complete. If you'd like to see how to create custom error pages for all of these errors like mine /show-error-506 , then check out this detailed tutorial I just posted.

57 APACHE HTTP STATUS RESPONSE CODES

Once I compiled the list of Apache recognized HTTP Status Codes, I was dying to see them all in action (i.e. the corresponding ErrorDocument). At first I thought I would have to create a php or perl script emulating each of the 57 HTTP Status Codes, a tedious undertaking I wasn't about to do. Instead I "asked Apache" by searching the Apache HTTP Documentation for ambiguity sending Status Codes and/or triggering ErrorDocuments with an Apache Directive.
While reading up on mod_alias and the Redirect directive I found:

Apache Docs

Syntax: Redirect [status] URL-path URL The status argument can be used to return other HTTP status codes. Other status codes can be returned by giving the numeric status code as the value of status. If the status is between 300 and 399, the URL argument must be present, otherwise it must be omitted.

100 Continue

ErrorDocument Continue | Sample 100 Continue
This means that the server has received the request headers, and that the client should proceed to send the request body (in case of a request which needs to be sent; for example, a POST request). If the request body is large, sending it to a server when a request has already been rejected based upon inappropriate headers is inefficient. To have a server check if the request could be accepted based on the requests headers alone, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request (see RFC 2616 14.20 Expect header) and check if a 100 Continue status code is received in response before continuing (or receive 417 Expectation Failed and not continue).

101 Switching Protocols

ErrorDocument Switching Protocols | Sample 101 Switching Protocols
This means the requester has asked the server to switch protocols and the server is acknowledging that it will do so.[3]

102 Processing

ErrorDocument Processing | Sample 102 Processing
(WebDAV) - (RFC 2518 )

200 OK

ErrorDocument OK | Sample 200 OK
Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action.

201 Created

ErrorDocument Created | Sample 201 Created
The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created.

202 Accepted

ErrorDocument Accepted | Sample 202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place.

203 Non-Authoritative Information

ErrorDocument Non-Authoritative Information | Sample 203 Non-Authoritative Information
The server successfully processed the request, but is returning information that may be from another source.

204 No Content

ErrorDocument No Content | Sample 204 No Content
The server successfully processed the request, but is not returning any content.

205 Reset Content

ErrorDocument Reset Content | Sample 205 Reset Content
The server successfully processed the request, but is not returning any content. Unlike a 204 response, this response requires that the requester reset the document view.

206 Partial Content

ErrorDocument Partial Content | Sample 206 Partial Content
The server is delivering only part of the resource due to a range header sent by the client. This is used by tools like wget to enable resuming of interrupted downloads, or split a download into multiple simultaneous streams.

207 Multi-Status

ErrorDocument Multi-Status | Sample 207 Multi-Status
(WebDAV) - The message body that follows is an XML message and can contain a number of separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.

226 IM Used

ErrorDocument IM Used | Sample 226 IM Used
The server has fulfilled a GET request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance. The actual current instance might not be available except by combining this response with other previous or future responses, as appropriate for the specific instance-manipulation(s).

300 Multiple Choices

ErrorDocument Multiple Choices | Sample 300 Multiple Choices
Indicates multiple options for the resource that the client may follow. It, for instance, could be used to present different format options for video, list files with different extensions, or word sense disambiguation.

301 Moved Permanently

ErrorDocument Moved Permanently | Sample 301 Moved Permanently
This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI.

302 Found

ErrorDocument Found | Sample 302 Found
This is the most popular redirect code[citation needed], but also an example of industrial practice contradicting the standard. HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945 ) required the client to perform a temporary redirect (the original describing phrase was "Moved Temporarily"), but popular browsers implemented it as a 303 See Other. Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to disambiguate between the two behaviours. However, the majority of Web applications and frameworks still use the 302 status code as if it were the 303.

303 See Other

ErrorDocument See Other | Sample 303 See Other
The response to the request can be found under another URI using a GET method. When received in response to a PUT, it should be assumed that the server has received the data and the redirect should be issued with a separate GET message.

304 Not Modified

ErrorDocument Not Modified | Sample 304 Not Modified
Indicates the resource has not been modified since last requested. Typically, the HTTP client provides a header like the If-Modified-Since header to provide a time against which to compare. Utilizing this saves bandwidth and reprocessing on both the server and client, as only the header data must be sent and received in comparison to the entirety of the page being re-processed by the server, then resent using more bandwidth of the server and client.

305 Use Proxy

ErrorDocument Use Proxy | Sample 305 Use Proxy
Many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla[4] and Internet Explorer) do not correctly handle responses with this status code, primarily for security reasons.

306 Switch Proxy

ErrorDocument Switch Proxy | Sample 306 Switch Proxy
No longer used.

307 Temporary Redirect

ErrorDocument Temporary Redirect | Sample 307 Temporary Redirect
In this occasion, the request should be repeated with another URI, but future requests can still use the original URI. In contrast to 303, the request method should not be changed when reissuing the original request. For instance, a POST request must be repeated using another POST request.

400 Bad Request

ErrorDocument Bad Request | Sample 400 Bad Request
The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.

401 Unauthorized

ErrorDocument Unauthorized | Sample 401 Unauthorized
Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided. The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. See Basic access authentication and Digest access authentication.

402 Payment Required

ErrorDocument Payment Required | Sample 402 Payment Required
The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, but that has not happened, and this code has never been used.

403 Forbidden

ErrorDocument Forbidden | Sample 403 Forbidden
The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it. Unlike a 401 Unauthorized response, authenticating will make no difference.

404 Not Found

ErrorDocument Not Found | Sample 404 Not Found
The requested resource could not be found but may be available again in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.

405 Method Not Allowed

ErrorDocument Method Not Allowed | Sample 405 Method Not Allowed
A request was made of a resource using a request method not supported by that resource; for example, using GET on a form which requires data to be presented via POST, or using PUT on a read-only resource.

406 Not Acceptable

ErrorDocument Not Acceptable | Sample 406 Not Acceptable
The requested resource is only capable of generating content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.

407 Proxy Authentication Required

ErrorDocument Proxy Authentication Required | Sample 407 Proxy Authentication Required
Required

408 Request Timeout

ErrorDocument Request Timeout | Sample 408 Request Timeout
The server timed out waiting for the request.

409 Conflict

ErrorDocument Conflict | Sample 409 Conflict
Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict in the request, such as an edit conflict.

410 Gone

ErrorDocument Gone | Sample 410 Gone
Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed; however, it is not necessary to return this code and a 404 Not Found can be issued instead. Upon receiving a 410 status code, the client should not request the resource again in the future. Clients such as search engines should remove the resource from their indexes.

411 Length Required

ErrorDocument Length Required | Sample 411 Length Required
The request did not specify the length of its content, which is required by the requested resource.

412 Precondition Failed

ErrorDocument Precondition Failed | Sample 412 Precondition Failed
The server does not meet one of the preconditions that the requester put on the request.

413 Request Entity Too Large

ErrorDocument Request Entity Too Large | Sample 413 Request Entity Too Large
The request is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

414 Request-URI Too Long

ErrorDocument Request-URI Too Long | Sample 414 Request-URI Too Long
The URI provided was too long for the server to process.

415 Unsupported Media Type

ErrorDocument Unsupported Media Type | Sample 415 Unsupported Media Type
The request did not specify any media types that the server or resource supports. For example the client specified that an image resource should be served as image/svg+xml, but the server cannot find a matching version of the image.

416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

ErrorDocument Requested Range Not Satisfiable | Sample 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
The client has asked for a portion of the file, but the server cannot supply that portion (for example, if the client asked for a part of the file that lies beyond the end of the file).

417 Expectation Failed

ErrorDocument Expectation Failed | Sample 417 Expectation Failed
The server cannot meet the requirements of the Expect request-header field.

418 I'm a teapot

ErrorDocument I'm a teapot | Sample 418 I'm a teapot
The HTCPCP server is a teapot. The responding entity MAY be short and stout. Defined by the April Fools specification RFC 2324. See Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol for more information.

422 Unprocessable Entity

ErrorDocument Unprocessable Entity | Sample 422 Unprocessable Entity
(WebDAV) (RFC 4918 ) - The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.

423 Locked

ErrorDocument Locked | Sample 423 Locked
(WebDAV) (RFC 4918 ) - The resource that is being accessed is locked

424 Failed Dependency

ErrorDocument Failed Dependency | Sample 424 Failed Dependency
(WebDAV) (RFC 4918 ) - The request failed due to failure of a previous request (e.g. a PROPPATCH).

425 Unordered Collection

ErrorDocument Unordered Collection | Sample 425 Unordered Collection
Defined in drafts of WebDav Advanced Collections, but not present in "Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Ordered Collections Protocol" (RFC 3648).

426 Upgrade Required

ErrorDocument Upgrade Required | Sample 426 Upgrade Required
(RFC 2817 ) - The client should switch to TLS/1.0.

449 Retry With

ErrorDocument Retry With | Sample 449 Retry With
A Microsoft extension. The request should be retried after doing the appropriate action.

500 Internal Server Error

ErrorDocument Internal Server Error | Sample 500 Internal Server Error
A generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable.

501 Not Implemented

ErrorDocument Not Implemented | Sample 501 Not Implemented
The server either does not recognise the request method, or it lacks the ability to fulfil the request.

502 Bad Gateway

ErrorDocument Bad Gateway | Sample 502 Bad Gateway
The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server.

503 Service Unavailable

ErrorDocument Service Unavailable | Sample 503 Service Unavailable
The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.

504 Gateway Timeout

ErrorDocument Gateway Timeout | Sample 504 Gateway Timeout
The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely request from the upstream server.

505 HTTP Version Not Supported

ErrorDocument HTTP Version Not Supported | Sample 505 HTTP Version Not Supported
The server does not support the HTTP protocol version used in the request.

506 Variant Also Negotiates

Quick Start to triggering ErrorDocuments for each Status Code

Let start with a quick and easy example. Add the following Redirect rules to your htaccess file, then open your browser and goto each url like yoursite.com/e/400. Don't create an /e/ directory or any files.

Redirect 400 /e/400
Redirect 503 /e/503
Redirect 405 /e/405

Automate the ErrorDocument Triggering

The htaccess Redirects

When a Status code is encountered, Apache outputs the Header and the ErrorDocument for that error code. So you can view any Header and the default ErrorDocument, by causing that numerical error code, which is caused by the Status Code.

For instance, if you request a file that doesn't exist, a 404 Not Found Header is issued and the corresponding ErrorDocument is served with the 404 Not Found Header.

PHP script that gets and outputs the Headers/Content

Now all I have to do is add 57 Redirect Directives to my htaccess, and then request each of them 1 at a time from my browser to see the result, and use a packet sniffing program like WireShark to see the Headers. Uh, scratch that, that would take way too long!

Instead I hacked up a simple php script using cURL to automate sending GET Requests to each of the 57 Redirect URL-paths. A side benefit of using the php script is that it performs all 57 Requests concurrently and saves each Requests returned headers and content to an output buffer. After all 57 have been queried, the output buffer is flushed to the browser.

I just learned that my modification to the WordPress core was accepted and will be implemented for version 2.8! This may mean WordPress is the only 100% HTTP/1.1 compliant software on the net! Below is the new list (I thought someone out there could use the php array) and as you can see, unfortunately418 I'm a teapotdidn't make it ;)

RIPE WHOIS

All the status codes are standard HTTP codes ( http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes ).

Clients should avoid any form of coupling with the the text/plain error message contained in response body since it may change between different releases of the API and is only intended as a starting point for indentifying the real causes of the exception event.

The following table gives a brief description of the mapping between standard Whois V.3 responses and the related REST services status codes. Consider this table as just an example of the error mapping strategy, it may change with future releases.

Clients will have to define error messages generic enough to represent the four main error conditions, that are Bad Request, Forbidden, Not Found and Internal Server Error.

For example a possible mapping for client side error messages may be:

HTTP Status Codes and Htaccess ErrorDocuments originally appeared on AskApache.com

I am now about 1 week away from publishing the much-anticipated 4.7 update to the AskApache Password Protection WordPress plugin. It's an upgrade I've been working on for almost 2 years (off and on)! I have been using the new version for quite some time now, and have made a lot of improvements to it, and finally I decided enough users have suffered with the old version. I am very excited for this release, it fixes all known bugs in the older versions, and brings some heavy-duty improvements to all facets of this plugin.. not to mention way better security modules (Lots more COOKIE use) based on code I use with clients.

Plugins for Practice

I wrote 3 plugins to learn the skills I knew I needed for this plugin to do what I envisioned. The first was a plugin that displayed all WP's builtin RewriteRules. The next 2 plugins helped me to learn a great about PHP and WP, so that now my plugins are PHP 4/5 compatible and use PHP classes. Just like all the other code I am into, I am finally achieving 100% E_STRICT conformance. PHP isn't tough at all once you learn the syntax.

AskApache Google 404

This is my favorite plugin. I started developing it in order to learn what I needed to know to continue developing the AskApache PassPro plugin. It's a super-stable plugin and very fast. Check it out and look at the source code if you want to get a preview of the kind of coding used on the AA PassPro 4.7 code.

I use it on every site I develop. Part of the error handling code in that plugin (HTTP Error Handling) is used in the passpro release to provide advanced HTTP 1.1 capabilities and help with the pre-setup testing. Currently it is not working 100% on this site, but the problem is because I use the development version of WP and the latest version breaks wordpress 404 usage (again scribus!).

AskApache Debug Viewer

This is my newest plugin that was created for the same reason as the AskApache 404 plugin, to figure out some things for the PassPro plugin. Mainly, to figure out the best ways to debug php, file permissions, and learn as much as I can to prevent anyone getting locked out of their site with 4.7.

One of the last bits of code I want to add to my 4.7 code, which I have been using for over a year, is super logging capabilities to debug any problems the 4.7 plugin may encounter. The latest release of the Debug Viewer, version 2.0, really has strong logging capabilities, and debugging capabilities. Of course I try to push those capabilities to the max and beyond. Currently the usability isn't the greatest, but if you are interested in debugging it is a goldmine of simple, fast, powerful debugging functions.

Everyone Who had Trouble

To those thousands who inadvertantly locked themselves out of their sites with the PassPro plugin, or even worse shut-down ther sites temporarily, I bet that even though it was annoying, or worse than annoying, you came out of it knowing more about your server, your hosting environment, and it showed you a glimpse of the problems malware face when attempting to crack into a blog protected correctly.

Although part of me knows that there is no better way to learn how to secure your site than dealing with getting locked out yourself, I went all out with making sure this version won't lock you out. Similar to the wordpress plugin bootstrap installation, this version creates a test and verifies it works in a test directory before going live. The new version has the most advanced Apache Version and Apache Module Detection every published online, well not yet.. And if you don't have apache, lighthttpd, or a similar server that supports htaccess, I'm adding a pure-php auth so you can at least still have password protection.. but you can bet I will stronly advise such a user to upgrade their hosting to a Linux+Apache host with skill.

Back to work

I've been extremely swamped at work the past 8 months working on a big project, so I only have days here and there to work on it. I know that I am free either Thursday or Fri this week, so I will have a good shot at getting a BETA release out 4.7.0 one of those days or sometime next week. If you have any ideas for the plugin, nows the time to let me know about it.. If you are a php master (I am not) and would like to help over the next 2 weeks, please email me.

Flash Embedding Javascript

This javascript library is just like jquery, but for flash. Swfobject is the hybrid combination of the 2 famous flash javascript libraries used before flash 8: SWFObject 1.5, UFO and incorporates more functionality from the Adobe Flash Player Detection Kit. It's an excellent library and allows you to do some very fail-proof flash.

My work specializes in video/audio, mostly for tv/radio but more and more for the web. I have thousands of hours of experience with flash video, mostly incredibly frustrating until I started using swfobject exclusively. The way I use it is to create an html element like a DIV and replace the div with the flash swf, and style the div with css.

Finding the YouTube Video

Just find the video you want on YouTube, press the embed button with privacy mode, and grab the url.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/-HIB706Tvwo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/-HIB706Tvwo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

So its, http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/-HIB706Tvwo

Javascript for Youtube NoCookie Embed

This javascript will create the flash player.

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("youtubeinner")  && swfobject.embedSWF(
"http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/-HIB706Tvwo?autostart=true", "youtubeinner", "270", "280",
"9", "", yt1, yt2, { id: "yt1",name: "yt1" });
</script>

XHTML Replacement Code

This is essentially the same for all methods other than the BETA iframe.

<div id="youtubeinner"></div>

BETA Iframe Flash Player

Just last month Youtube/google announced a new way to embed flash, and it's the absolute easiest yet. It uses iframes, so you should take the time to add the iframe using DOM scripting rather than just add it like this (which works):

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="380" height="190" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-HIB706Tvwo" frameborder="0"></iframe>

The above methods are how I started out displaying YouTube videos, but I use another method now. I am an open-source enthusiast, so please check out the init_flash function within my AAJS javascript class in the single javascript file used on askapache.com, which has a lot of unrelated tricks and code snippets you are free to copy, modify, and redistribute ;).

Flash Video Player

The method I use now on this site involves one additional piece of software, a flash video player for the web. Their are many different flash video players out there, youtube has it's own video player, but the one that I use is the same one I have been using since.. oh.. 2006 because it's amazing. No matter which video player you choose, you want it to basically just be an .swf file that loads the videos, whether its .flv, .f4v, or streaming. Currently (10-2010) JW FLV Player is free (sorta) and the source code is open (for now) and is called JW-FLV-Player. Grab it before it goes premium only. I like to use and keep older versions, like I have a very old version that I used to use to play mp3's from a playlist. Actually it's still online if you want to listen..

Using this software you are able to play youtube videos off the youtube servers with a flash player on your server. Here's an example of mine that uses a simple rss playlist of youtube video urls to play the videos, you, the reader, are encouraged to view the source code to figure it out. ;)
