Netflix recently updated their API methods for obtaining the full Netflix catalog. I'm curious if anyone has had any success accessing these new xml documents and downloading them via API v1.5 (9/2012). Previously, you could download the entire Netflix catalog via one API call (which I had working perfectly). Now, there are supposedly two calls to make: one for dvd's and one for streaming movies.
I cannot make these calls return anything except for an empty array. Please don't offer an answer unless you have personally downloaded the entire catalog via these new API's.
Bonus points if you can tell me how to do it in Ruby.

This did it for me (download the netflix instant cat)...it's in php but can prob be easily rewritten in ruby..this is using JR Collings OAuthsimple
args = Array(
max_results=> 20,
start_index=>0
);
//args don't matter, netflix doesn't listen here
// this is the URL path (note the lack of arguments.)
$rpath = "http://api-public.netflix.com/catalog/titles/streaming";
// Create the Signature object.
$roauth = new OAuthSimple();
$rsigned = $roauth->sign(Array(path=>$rpath,
parameters=>$args,
signatures=> Array('consumer_key'=>YOURKEY,
'shared_secret'=>YOURSECRET,
)));
$getxml = file_get_contents($rsigned['signed_url']);
file_put_contents("streaming.xml", $getxml);

I am using curl to publish to maven:
const curlOptions = [
'--silent',
'--output', '/dev/stderr',
'--write-out', '"%{http_code}"',
'--upload-file', fileLocation,
'--noproxy', options.noproxy ? options.noproxy : '127.0.0.1',
'--fail'
];
const curlCmd = ['curl', curlOptions.join(' '), targetUri].join(' ');
const childProcess = exec(curlCmd, execOptions, function (error) {
if (error) {
console.log(chalk.red(error));
}
});
This works for the upload but the artefact gets cached and I cannot get the artefact from curl without going to nexus and running rebuild metadata on the affected artifact.
Can i programmatically invalidate the cache?
To answer your question directly, it should be possible to invalidate cache in later versions of NXRM3 using the REST API and the "/beta/repositories/{repositoryName}/invalidate-cache" endpoint.
It should also be possible to do the same and run the scheduled task (rebuild metadata; /v1/tasks/{id}/run endpoint) though that seems a less desirable route as that is generally used for repair.
You can see more on the REST API in the NXRM3 documentation though the intent of some is that it's self documenting by using the Swagger UI in the application. Note at time of this answer, only those with the nx-admin privilege can access the Swagger UI (though people with proper permission can use the endpoints). You can find the Swagger UI in the Admin section under System -> API.
That being said, I think there's likely something else going on. I don't think it should be necessary to invalidate your cache like that each time. I didn't want to go too far from the question however. I encourage you to look at community.sonatype.com for answers to what else might be going on and ask there if you don't see one.
I was wondering if anyone has seen a demo/example of using the Serilog.Extras.MSOwin package with a web api project or a example/tutorial of using Serilog with a web api project.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Jim
I will take this as question as "How do I used Serilog.Extras.MSOwin?" and given it is currently a rather small library answer here.
This reflects the current library (1.4.102) and is subject to change in the future.
Serilog.Extras.MSOwin provides two things: a Microsoft.Owin.Logging.ILoggerFactory implementation to have OWIN's logging infrastructure write to Serilog (more details about logging in OWIN in this blog post) and Guid identifier (RequestId) for each web request to aid in associating logged events.
The Logging integration is done with the following:
IAppBuilder app = ...;
Serilog.ILogger logger = ...'
app.SetLoggerFactory( new Serilog.Extras.MSOwin.LoggerFactory( logger ) );
The request id functionality needs to be registered in the OWIN pipeline:
IAppBuilder app = ...;
app.UseSerilogRequestContext("RequestId");
You will want to register that very early in the pipeline because any logging occurring before that pipeline step will not have the request id available.
You also need will need to retrieve it from the LogContext using Enrich.FromLogContext() and add that property to what you write to your sinks. For example,
const string DefaultOutputTemplate =
"{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} ({RequestId}) {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}";
ILogger logger =
new LoggerConfiguration().Enrich.FromLogContext()
.WriteTo
.RollingFile(
"log.txt",
outputTemplate: DefaultOutputTemplate)
.CreateLogger();
Serilog.Extras.MSOwin was superseded by SerilogWeb.Owin (which has since also been discontinued.)
What's the proper way for implementing front-end Ajax functionality in ModX Revolution? I like the idea of connectors and processors, but for some reason they are for back-end use only - modConnectorResponse checks if user is logged in and returns 'access denied', if he is not.
Inserting a snippet into resource and calling it by resource URL seems a one-time solution, but that doesn't look right to me.
So how do I get safe Connector-like functionality for front-end?
So, as boundaryfunctions said, it's not possible and ModX developers recommend using a resource with a single snippet included. But for those who despite the will of developers look for Connector-like functionality, there may be a solution made by guess who-- ModX core developer splittingred in Gallery extra. In connector.php, before handleRequest() call, there's a code that fakes authorisation:
if ($_REQUEST['action'] == 'web/phpthumb') {
$version = $modx->getVersionData();
if (version_compare($version['full_version'],'2.1.1-pl') >= 0) {
if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $_SESSION["modx.{$modx->context->get('key')}.user.token"];
} else {
$_SESSION["modx.{$modx->context->get('key')}.user.token"] = 0;
$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = 0;
}
} else {
$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $modx->site_id;
}
$_REQUEST['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'];
}
Works for me. Just need to replace first if condition with my own actions.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that you need to pass &ctx=web parameter with your AJAX request, because default context for connectors is "mgr" and anonymous users will not pass policy check (unless you set access to the "mgr" context for anonymous users).
And also the code from Gallery extra I posted here seems to check some session stuff that for me doesn't work with anonymous front-end users (and works only when I'm logged in to back-end), so I replaced it with the next:
if (in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('loadMap', 'loadMarkers'))){
$_SESSION["modx.{$modx->context->get('key')}.user.token"] = 1;
$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $_REQUEST['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = 1;
}
I don't know if this code is 100% safe, but when anonymous user calls it, he doesn't appear to be logged in to Manager, and when admin is logged in and calls the action from back-end, he is not logged off by force. And that looks like enough security for me.
This solution is still portable (i.e. can be embedded into distributable Extra), but security should be researched more seriously for serious projects.
As far as I know, this is not possible in modX at the moment. It has already been discussed on the modx forums and filed as a bug here, but it doesn't look like anybody is working on it.
There are also two possible workarounds in the second link. Personally, I would favour putting the connector functionality into the assets folder to keep the resource tree clean.
There's a more complete explanation of the technique used in Gallery here:
http://www.virtudraft.com/blog/ajaxs-connector-file-using-modxs-main-index.php.html
It allows you to create a connector to run your own processors or a built-in MODX processors without creating a resource.
I would like to know if there are any MVC framework compatible with Redis as a database. (Not just as a caching datastore).
Thanks
I would not expect any MVC framework to be tied to a database. Your implementation of the Model would provide access to whatever backing store (either directly or via one or more layers) was appropriate. You should be looking at the clients that Redis supports, with those you should be able to utilise MVC frameworks on any of the support client platforms.
+1 for Padrino.
Another great option is Monk. It includes Ohm(its actually written by some of the same guys) and is based on Sinatra. Its really easy to get started with and very flexible.
In Ruby you can use Ohm as ORM. If you want an MVC framework, it can be plugged to Padrino.
try to investigate cqrs architecture with event sourcing.
And you can download example of this from github.it is Ruby on Rails application with Redis DB
You should definitely check out my C# ServiceStack.Redis Client. The client provides a typed API that can store any type and other high-level functionality, i.e. Strong-typed messaging API, Transactional Support, Pipelining, etc.
Here's is an mini clone of Stack Overflow built with it, using only one page of C#:
Sample Code from Redis StackOverflow:
public User GetOrCreateUser(User user)
{
if (user.DisplayName.IsNullOrEmpty())
throw new ArgumentNullException("DisplayName");
var userIdAliasKey = "id:User:DisplayName:" + user.DisplayName.ToLower();
using (var redis = RedisManager.GetClient())
{
//Get a typed version of redis client that works with <User>
var redisUsers = redis.As<User>();
//Find user by DisplayName if exists
var userKey = redis.GetValue(userIdAliasKey);
if (userKey != null)
return redisUsers.GetValue(userKey);
//Generate Id for New User
if (user.Id == default(long))
user.Id = redisUsers.GetNextSequence();
redisUsers.Store(user);
//Save reference to User key using the DisplayName alias
redis.SetEntry(userIdAliasKey, user.CreateUrn());
return redisUsers.GetById(user.Id);
}
}
grails has redis support in GORM through the redis plugin. Any domain class can be stored in redis (or any one of the other supported nosql stores) instead of a relational database.
Im using a org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker (PrintableServiceTracker implements ServiceTrackerCustomizer and simply prints when a new service is added).
Filter filter = bc.createFilter("(objectClass=se.enea.print.Printable)");
tracker = new ServiceTracker(bc, filter, new PrintableServiceTracker(bc));
I've read about "pseudo registration" in the new ebook "OSGi in action" and I wonder if I have to do pseudo registration explicitly or if the framwork handles this automatically?
(Will already installed Printable services be caught by the ServiceTracker. will ServiceTracker.addingService(ServiceReference) be called for each of the pre installed Printable services)
Not sure what pseudo registration means, but the method addingService in PrintableServiceTracker will be called not only for new services but also for existing services.
