When getting a hexadecimal dump in VS, what do those periods mean? - binary

For example:
%PDF-1.3..%.....
...1 0 obj..<<..
from
25 50 44 46 2D 31 2E 33 0D 0A 25 E2 E3 CF D3 0D
0A 0D 0A 31 20 30 20 6F 62 6A 0D 0A 3C 3C 0D 0A
Do they represent numbers that don't fit in ASCII?

Download Firefox browser cache file

I was working on a project and just when I saved the file, my power cut off. Now my html file is corrupted and I have no backup of it.
I just remembered that I might have a cache of it in Firefox. So, first I tried CacheViewer from Firefox official add-ons store. This add-on would install and then required a restart, after the restart it would disappear.
So instead, I tried the old fashioned way. I went to about:cache > Local Storage and whew, I was lucky enough that it was there and wasn't replaced with the blank corrupted html file.
Now I have some sort (Catch Entry Information) of file. The left side has the binary code, while the right side has the proper html code with some unnecessary . periods in it.
This is what my this file looks like:

How do I go about decoding this?
If there is a better way to download a catch file from Mozilla Firefox, please do mention.
Steps:
Copy all of that text into a text document, and save it.
Edit that text to make it only the column of hexadecimal characters.
Options for how to do this include shell commands, a find-replace using regex, or a column editing mode in your text editor.
Convert those hex encoded bytes into a binary file.
You should be able to paste those characters into any decent hex editor, and save it as a file.
BTW, the .'s in this case are substituted to replace the newline characters.

How can I send an HTTP request to my router with a not well-formatted field?

I'm trying to find a way to enable/disable my router whithout the need for manually using the browser. After a bit of snooping, it seems to me that I have to send a request like that [from WireShark]:

As you can see, it ends with 'rn=IMEtO8DLEsQpmTwidgCYlQA%3D', that is the session cookie.
Putting a 'normal' request the router goes back to index instead of performing the action, probably for the lack of 'rn=IMEtO8DLEsQpmTwidgCYlQA%3D'.
Until now, I tried using Wget (under windows...) but I can't find a way to add the last info.
So I would know if
there is a way to add an header that is not header-compliant (use of = instead of : ) using wGet or if
there is a tool more suited for that task (I'm looking for cUrl but I don't think it acts different from wGet).
The batch file (plain ol' DOS) I wrote for testing wGet is:
#title %~n0
#cls
#set _wget="C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget"
#set _url=http://192.168.0.1/

#set _ckval=%%k
)
#echo host=%_ckhost% cookie name=%_ckname% value=%_ckval%
#if "%_ckname%"=="xAuth_SESSION_ID" set _rn=rn=%_ckval%
#if "%_rn:~-1%"=="=" set _rn=%_rn:~0,-1%%%3D
#echo _rn='%_rn%'
%_wget% %_opt% --load-cookies %_cook% %_post% --header="%_rn%" %_url%
but it ends up this way:

Thank you very much for any suggestion! Or for links pointing to pages where I can find a solution (I spent a looot of time googling around...).
Luca
Note: I think it's useless to add here the HTML and JS code of the page in the router that generate the line rn=MGyN4YpepJoE6kSXPVT9lgA%3D, but if you need it, I can report it.
Look careful at the captured data and you might notice that these data are not part of the header. The header ends with \r\n\r\n (Bytes 021b..021e) and your "session cookie" is not a cookie (which would be part of the header) but the body of the POST request. Thus you need to use --post-data 'rn=MGyN...'

websocket always triggers onerror(undefined) with Chrome, but not with Firefox

With a websocket server(C program) running in Cygwin, which does the handshaking&echoing back the messages from client.
With Firefox(Version 13.0.1), the two parties work together very well - handshaking , receiving and echoing back.
But with Chrome(Version 23.0.1271.97 m), after the handshaking step, the client always triggers onerror - "undefined", then onclose.
I was wondering:
Are there any differences between Firefox and Chrome how they handle websocket?
Here is the HTML code(Thanks to stackoverflow guys contribution):

alert("Message sent!");
};
ws.onmessage = function (evt) {
alert("About to receive data");
var received_msg = evt.data;
alert("Message received = "+received_msg);
};
ws.onclose = function () {
// websocket is closed.
alert("Connection is closed...");

alert("ERROR: "+evt.data);
};

Guys.
Here is my experience about the issue.
Yesterday, my php simple chatting socket script worked well in both of firefox and chrome. Suddenly it did not work in chrome today. Not sure why? But after the request header value was printed, I found that the header length was longer than 1024 byte.
(I tested by getting 1024 byte in server.php under a domain without login).
Maybe after I logged into the domain, cache length was added into the http request header.
I increased the length value for socket_read function to 5120 byte before performed handshaking. It was enough value to get full request header.
My problem was solved since server.php handshaking function could validate sec-websocket-key from request header.
Hope other guys to take care of websocket request header length.
Regards,
Yin
