I had to get into some ruby programming for my job and so I decided to refresh my memories a bit more. It became more or less a tradition of mine to write some network or internet code to get into a language and so here’s a first result.
It’s just a simple function for making a HTTP request on a given target. On success it returns an HTTP object, on error nil. It’s nothing fancy, but it should be reliable and maybe helps someone for his/her project…

For my work I had to make several wordpress installations with the same basic plugins and themes over and over again. Maybe you know that pain in the ass, but I got sick of downloading and extracting all the stuff manually, so I decided to write some handy script to do the job for me.
Within the script you can extend the list of plugins and themes to be downloaded, to fit your custom purposes.
Important: If new versions of plugins are available you have to edit the URLs in the array! …

Normally I wanted to write about our last project, how to build a NES adapter for the PC, but without epoxy the project stays unfinished and has to wait… It’ll come soon – promise!
But instead I was inspired by a nice idea of Matt LeStock, how to set up a simple SSH tunnel on Windows and Linux machines. I took his manual an decided to write a batch file for this purpose and for all the people who hate memorizing command line parameters (although this one is really easy).

A new version of YAPW is now released, because of some requests.
There are no major changes, but in version 0.0.1b it is now possible to have more than just one connection to the server at the same time. The default port is set to 80 and the maximum of connections to 200.
I hope to implements more and maybe major features, soon, but at the moment there is unfortunately other work to do… So stay tuned.
To download the actul package, use the following links:

Windows setup (EXE)
Source code package (other operating systems)

I made a little update on the windows side. Now python is no longer needed, because I made it to include the fantastic Portable Python package.
Unfortunately there is also a bad side of it. Now the system requirements for free hard disk space increased to 50 MB on windows machines, but on modern systems this should be no problem.
Because there is no change in the server code itself, there is also no change in the unix version, so the old download link is still the same and the installed versions …

YAPW is a very simple and tiny webserver written in Python programming language. I have written this for educational uses and to learn how to make your own webserver.
It’s in a very early development state and has not many features for now.
Features for version 0.0.1a:

Hosting plain HTML files
Error page load, when requested page cannot be found

It is not possible to host PHP, ASP(.NET) or Python files. Also Javascript is not working, yet. Plain HTML is the only supported format, but I hope to include more features soon.
Requirements:

Computer with at least …
