I am making a get request via http to my other application. Both apps use Paperclip to manage attachment. How can I achieve to make the target app make a correct response with the attachment? Or any suggestion ?
If you are trying to serve same asset from two different applications. that's a bad idea because it will lead to sync issus & race conditions.
Instead, you should create a image service which runs on images.example.com. Here you will expose an endpoint where images can be uploaded via HTTP POST and download via URL.
Now, get both of your applications to upload & download images from this service.

How can I deploy a js web application that uses an API.
I have hosted it on netlify but it doesn't fetch the data.
Everything works fine on localhost.

In firefox you can see the request the function getMovies made was blocked, the console shows the reason, it links to this URL.
Basically you're trying to use http protocol for that request when you're over https in your website.
To fix that simply change your "http://www.omdbapi.com/” to start with "https://" instead.
Also, if you can, do not add API key to client side code, if you do so anyone can steal it and use it themselves (and that might make you pay more for the service or reach the limit you have really quick), instead do a request to your back-end server so it fetches the data while hiding the API key.
It works in local because you're using http in local aswell.
I've overrided the getMovies function in my browser to use https and it worked nicely
I'm reading the official doc for Amazon S3 Multipart Upload REST API, I'm wondering whether it's possible to use this API via AJAX.
The reason I'm asking is I try to upload a very large file (>5GB) from my browser to S3 bucket, I know there's a S3 upload API for Javascript and a way of leveraging AJAX to upload file to S3 but none of these address the large file issue.
The reason for not supporting MultiPart upload API using AJAX that I can think of is browser is not able to split the local file but I want to make sure it's really the case.
Does anyone around here ever used multipart upload api in AJAX or if it's impossible doing that, how do people usually deal with large file upload from browser?
Lots of thanks in advance!
I don't think it's necessary for you to use the Rest API for this. The s3.upload() method used in the javascript example you linked does support multipart uploads for large files according to the following AWS blog post: Announcing the Amazon S3 Managed Uploader in the AWS SDK for JavaScript. A browser example is included, although it uses bucket.upload rather than s3.upload. It also includes examples of tracking progress, configuring concurrency and part size and handling failures.
It does say with respect to browser uploads that "In order to support large file uploads in the browser, you must ensure that your CORS configuration exposes the ETag header; otherwise, your multipart uploads will not succeed. See the guide for more information on how to expose this header."
Possibly the CORS configuration may also need to allow more methods than listed in the 'Configuring CORS' section of the example you linked.
Testing Fine-Uploader and get the following trying to upload images. It's on a testbox and I have rights to the folder. I am not running under IIS as most of these errors when searching google have to do with IIS. Any ideas.
I am using asp.net / c# and I am not using URL Rewriting.
The error suggests that the "/UploadImages" endpoint is not configured to accept POST requests (probably only GET requests). You'll need to update your server configuration appropriately so that POST requests are accepted.
I have an application that makes web requests to a set of URLs with the same host name. For testing purposes, I need to have this application make the same requests to URLs with a different host name. I don't have access to the source code, so building a debug version with the modified URLs is not possible.
Is there a [lightweight] proxy application that can intercept web requests and transform their URL?
For example, if it detects a web request to https://some.production.server/path, have it transform and send the request to https://some.development.server/path
Sure, use Fiddler. Click Tools > Hosts.
My web application requires downloading content from the user URL specified.
Currently this request go through my server, which is inefficient and could get my server IP blocked.
Is there a way to let the user download the URL content directly?
The same-origin policy seems to prevent using AJAX or an iframe to download and reuse this content.
Any ideas? For example is there a way via flash to download and reuse URL content?
You could use Tor to mask your requests, but if you're having to go such lengths to crawl a website perhaps you shouldn't be doing it?
Also, with your approach the iframe request will include your page URL as the referrer, which makes identifying these requests at the server end pretty straightforward...
If it's a specific web side, I recommend to talk to the website operators rather than trying to crawl anonymously.
