I can't get my Yahoo! Application Platform to run I keep getting denied access even though their policy file accepts requests from any domain.
OK: Policy file accepted: http://social.yahooapis.com/crossdomain.xml
Error: Request for resource at http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/<user id>/profile?oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&lang=en-US&oauth_consumer_key=<key>&oauth_token=<long ass token>&oauth_version=1.0&format=json&oauth_nonce=<blah blah>&oauth_timestamp=1262846353®ion=US&oauth_signature=<foo bar> by requestor from http://<my domain>/YOSSimple.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
The url works btw, I editted some stuff out since it has my keys and stuff.
Links to the stuff I'm trying to do
http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/yos/
http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/yos/examples/simple/YOSSimple.fla
YOSSimple properly creates the url actually since if I type it in my browser I'm prompted if I want to download the file that contains information regarding my profile.
But it just wont open it in Flash.
I'm guessing that it's not loading the policy file automatically. You should try using
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://social.yahooapis.com/crossdomain.xml");
Do you have a webproxy installed with which you can monitor what files exactly are loaded? My favorite is Charles but there are also free FF plugins like Httpfox
EDIT:
I think I know what's going wrong. It's going wrong the other way around, the swf from yahoo is trying to access your swf, but doesn't have the correct permissions. Would you try
Security.allowDomain( 'http://social.yahooapis.com/' );
http://www.ieinspector.com/httpanalyzer/
use HTTP analyzer to see whats happening?
also check your not missmatching http://www. with http:// because flash treats them as different domains
also are you running the code locally on your machine. It could be your local security settings
A simple WebProxy will fix this:
<?php
// PHP Proxy
// Loads a XML from any location. Used with Flash/Flex apps to bypass security restrictions
// usage: proxy.php?url=http://mysite.com/myxml.xml
$session = curl_init($_GET['url']); // Open the Curl session
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); // Don't return HTTP headers
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Do return the contents of the call
$xml = curl_exec($session); // Make the call
header("Content-Type: text/xml"); // Set the content type appropriately
echo $xml; // Spit out the xml
curl_close($session); // And close the session
?>
Modify the web proxy example above to support multiple options as follows:
$sOptions = "";
foreach($_GET as $sIndex => $sValue) {
if ($sIndex == 'url') {
$url = $sValue;
}
else {
if (strlen($sIndex) > 0) {
$sOptions .= "&" . $sIndex;
}
if (strlen($sValue) > 0) {
$sOptions .= "=" . $sValue;
}
}
}
$url .= $sOptions;
$session = curl_init($url); // Open the Curl session

I want to display a download link inside a WordPress widget. The file to be downloaded is located in the download subfolder of the site root, so that it can be uploaded via FTP. The name of the file and the text to be displayed for the download link shall be stored in a simple text file in the same folder.
Assuming WordPress is installed on www.mysite.com. The file name is setup_1_0.zip and the link display is Setup 1.0.
I am open to the file format how this information is stored as long as I can upload that file via FTP, too.
How can I embed this information inside a Custom HTML widget to get a valid download link with the text taken from that file?
How to automate the process of uploading latest software's build and download link creation in WordPress?
Based on your logic.
You are trying to automate the download process of your latest software version.
You don't want to update things manually and you just want to upload your latest build in the /download/ folder. (Only drop your latest version using FTP; that's all)
This is how I would do it:
Referencing those questions:
Get the latest file addition in a directory
How to force file download with PHP
I propose two solutions: First two separte codes, Second One inline code.
Just for educational purpose
First solution: Quick and short usage:
(You might need a way or a plugin to activate running PHP in Widget; this plugin helps PHP Code Widget)
<?php
$path = "download/";
$latest_ctime = 0;
$latest_filename = '';
$d = dir($path);
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
$filepath = "{$path}/{$entry}";
// could do also other checks than just checking whether the entry is a file
if (is_file($filepath) && filectime($filepath) > $latest_ctime) {
$latest_ctime = filectime($filepath);
$latest_filename = $entry;
}
}
echo 'Download '. $latest_filename . '';
?>
Second solution:
(Again, you might need a way or a plugin to activate running PHP in Widget; this plugin helps PHP Code Widget)
A) Create download.php in http://www.example.com/download.php
Add the following code:
<?php
$path = "download";
$latest_ctime = 0; //ctime stands for creation time.
$latest_filename = '';
$d = dir($path);
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
$filepath = "{$path}/{$entry}";
// could do also other checks than just checking whether the entry is a file
if (is_file($filepath) && filectime($filepath) > $latest_ctime) {
$latest_ctime = filectime($filepath);
$latest_filename = $entry;
}
}
// echo $latest_filename; un-comment to debug
$file_url = 'http://www.example.com/download/'.$latest_filename;
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($file_url) . "\"");
readfile($file_url); // do the double-download-dance (dirty but worky)
?>
B) in your WordPress HTML Widget add the following code
<?php
$path = "download";
$latest_ctime = 0;
$latest_filename = '';
$d = dir($path);
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
$filepath = "{$path}/{$entry}";
// could do also other checks than just checking whether the entry is a file
if (is_file($filepath) && filectime($filepath) > $latest_ctime) {
$latest_ctime = filectime($filepath);
$latest_filename = $entry;
}
}
echo 'Download '. $latest_filename . '';
?>
Further explanation:
A) is responsiple for downloading the latest software build automatically.
B) is responsiple for displaying Latest build name and Creating the link.
Now, You only need to upload one file to your /download/ folder which is your latest build (setup_1_0.zip, setup_1_1.zip, setup_1_2.zip ...etc. The proposed solution will check creation date regardless of file's name.)
Important note: You can see that the latest file checker function is repeated twice; once in download.php and once in WordPress Widget. Because if we combine in one file we will get header already sent error.
Dose this answer your question please? Kindly feedback.
I am trying to replace existing video on VIMEO with
advanced api from : https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php#replace-videos-from-the-server.
The code is:
$vimeo = new \Vimeo\Vimeo('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
$vimeo->setToken("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
$video_id_on_vimeo = 123456; // not real id
$vimeo->replace("/videos/" . $video_id_on_vimeo, $path_to_file, false);
However it throws me an error "Unable to get an upload ticket.[The requested user could not be found]'
All other commands do work. I am using OAUTH 2 and scopes configured for using apis are:
public private purchased create edit delete interact upload.
in order to run example, just execute POST request to http://panels.veedi.com/api/video/test
Vimeo development team fixed the bug.
Now everything is working. In addition in API description of replacement process, they have mistake.
Instead of:
$response = $lib->upload('/videos/12345', '/home/aaron/Downloads/ada.mp4', false);
You should use:
$response = $lib->replace('/videos/12345', '/home/aaron/Downloads/ada.mp4', false);
The SWF is located on a web server. I am calling the function using this code in AS3...
myPDF.save(Method.REMOTE, "http://www.example.com/generator/createpdf.php",
Download.ATTACHMENT, "line.pdf");
Here is my PHP script located on the server...
$method = $_GET['method'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
if ( isset ( $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] )) {
// get bytearray
$pdf = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];
// add headers for download dialog-box
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: '.strlen($pdf));
header('Content-disposition:'.$method.'; filename="'.$name.'"');
echo $pdf;
} else echo 'An error occured.';
It used to work, but stopped a while back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1) This stopped working for me as well, until I added the following -
if(!$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA){
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(‘php://input’);
}
2) I also patched /src/org/alivepdf/pdf/PDF.as::save() per this post enter link description here
Server Sent Event Does Not Maintain Open Connection
I’ve been working with some example code that I found on the web to get some basic server sent events working on our server, but I’ve stumbled across some strange behavior when testing across servers. Below is the function being called in my controller:
public function hi() {
header("Content-Type: text/event-stream\n\n");
$counter = rand(1, 10);
while (1) {
// Every two seconds, send a "ping" event.
echo "event: ping\n";
$curDate = date(DATE_ISO8601);
echo 'data: {"time": "' . $curDate . '"}';
echo "\n\n";
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(2);
}
}
My View:
<script>
var evtSource = new EventSource("picks/hi");
evtSource.onmessage = function(e) {
console.log(e.data);
}
evtSource.onerror = function(e) {
console.log("EventSource failed.");
};
evtSource.onopen = function(e) {
console.log("Connection open");
};
evtSource.addEventListener("ping", function(e) {
var newElement = document.createElement("li");
var obj = JSON.parse(e.data);
console.log(obj.time);
}, false);
</script>
Now here’s the bizarre part. This code works as it should on my hostgator account. It opens a connection, maintains it, and spits out the time every two seconds. If you view the console in Chrome, you will see the following output:
Connection open
2014-04-02T15:10:24-0400
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:26-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:28-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:30-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:32-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:34-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:36-0400"}
{"time": "2014-04-02T15:10:38-0400"}
Unfortunately, this same block of code does not work on our server through Amazon Web Services. When I use the console to compare what is going on between the two, I can see that the code on the hostgator server does indeed open and maintain a persistent connection. When I do the same on the AWS instance, I see that the GET request for data is stuck in a pending status. I believe this is an apache issue, but I cannot find any information. What do I need to do on the server side to enable server sent events to properly function?
A few things to check...are your server and client side scripts both of the same origin? I know this can cause issues in some browser, but admittedly it's been a while since I played around with SSE's, so I don't know if this still holds true.
You may also want to add header('Cache-Control: no-cache'); under your content-type declaration just be certain.
You may have to contact AWS support to see what their thoughts are.
Also, and I know this sounds stupid, but completely clear all of your browser info after changing your code (cookies, cache, etc...).
If your server is running behind nginx then you need to add
proxy_buffering off;
to nginx settings. For apache, look into this link:

I have a jQuery Mobile app that uses Twitter oAuth to handle login and registration. However iPhone Mobile apps that get added to the home screen doesn't handle sessions. I have been told I need to use localStorage. Here is my current code that I need help translating to localStorage rather than sessions. Any help would be much appreciated.
Main page:
<?php
require("lib/twitteroauth.php");
session_start();
// The TwitterOAuth instance
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth('consumer key','secret');
// Requesting authentication tokens, the parameter is the URL we will be redirected to
$request_token = $twitteroauth->getRequestToken('login.php');
// Saving them into the session
$_SESSION['oauth_token'] = $request_token['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'] = $request_token['oauth_token_secret'];
// If everything goes well..
if($twitteroauth->http_code==200){
// Let's generate the URL and redirect
$url = $twitteroauth->getAuthorizeURL($request_token['oauth_token']);
header ('Location: '.$url);
} else {
// It's a bad idea to kill the script, but we've got to know when there's an error.
die('Something wrong happened.');
}
?>
After Twitter handles the login it redirects to login.php:
<?php
require("lib/twitteroauth.php");
session_start();
if(!empty($_GET['oauth_verifier']) && !empty($_SESSION['oauth_token']) && !empty($_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'])){
// TwitterOAuth instance, with two new parameters we got in twitter_login.php
$twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth("consumer key", "secret",$_SESSION['oauth_token'],$_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']);
// Let's request the access token
$access_token = $twitteroauth->getAccessToken($_GET['oauth_verifier']);
// Save it in a session var
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $access_token;
// Let's get the user's info
$user_info = $twitteroauth->get('account/verify_credentials');
}
?>
Thanks!
This should help understand what you need to complete the task of saving to LocalStorage.
