I saw a program(RAPGET) which downloads a file from RapidShare for the given link?
I like to design a program like this which gets the information about weather-forecast from a web-page and it should display in the textbox in vb6?
You can call a web service from VB6. Here's "the easy way" to do it.
Or you can ncheck out the replies to this previous SO question.
You can use winHttp component that ship with winxp and above. It ships as a package called BITS [background intelligent transfer service]. Using this you can make calls to Http and Ftp servers. So this will enable your VB6 application to act as an HttpClient which will receive the data from the weather server.
Second thing is the server. You must know in which format you are getting the data from the server. Is it plain text ?, Soap ? or XML ? once you identify the format of data transport you can receive the data from the server using winHttp and parse them in your application and fetch the desired data.
Thanks.

The webpage Template loads data via some json data we get from the endpoint.
I have a Rest Api and a Angular Front end . The Angular app populates the template from the data coming in from the rest api which we can see in the Network Tab of Chrome Developer Tools.
Is there any way we can modify the Rest data in Network tab and see the changes that occurs in the Webpage.
Is that even possible, It might sound a stupid question but i guess this might be a very special tool if there is not much interaction between the Back end and Front end teams.
I am not quite sure if i am able to explain it properly but this was the best i could edit please bear with me thanks
Just a Screen Shot of the type of data in Network tab.
Sample Data Network Tab
It is not possible from chrome's network tab. You have to use BurpSuite for example which is available in Kali linux as a default. With that you can intercept http requests and responses and modify it's payload.
You can get it from here: https://portswigger.net/burp/
No, you're not able to modify XHR data as you can other sources. What I do is just copy the file to my local drive and temporarily modify it's source. I test responses from API's using Postman and it's pretty awesome.
I have to say I'm a little bit afraid for you though. It's not a great idea to be consuming services from external api's from the client side. Are your API keys and passwords hanging out in that client side code somewhere?
I am trying to build my own WOPI host using ASP.NET MVC and its WebAPI functions according to this example
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6
I successfully used that example to connect to my Office Web App Server and I can use that to access files of Excel and PowerPoint in local path and I am able to edit it, but I cannot use it to open word document in editing mode as the Post action handler isn't implemented completely without any response so that it cannot handle any edit request.
In order to add support for editing of Office document, I tried this example with POST request handler based on Cobalt library extracted from Office Web App Server.
https://github.com/marx-yu/WopiHost
With this example I managed to edit ans save all kinds of document with Office Web App Server. However, when I tried to integrate these two together I found that even if I can enter the edit window of Excel and PowerPoint and I can see that Post Requests from Office Web App Server like locking and Cobalt are handled by my WOPI Post API action handler. Those change doesn't take any effect on my local file at all. Moreover, I still cannot edit word document and when I checked the back log of Office Web App Server, I found the error message is Cobalt is not supported while I have already set the SupportsCobalt in CheckFileInfo response to true! Any help is very appreciated!
I think I have exactly what you are looking for. Check out my implementation of the WOPI host. It's an MVC6 app that takes the best from the both examples you are referring to and adds some extra features.
We are developing a social networking iOS application. The application loads lots of data from back end server. I have following doubts which is still unclear .Please help
What is the best approach for handling these much data from back end server?.
How does social networking mobile applications like facebook loads and update friends data?
Does these kind of application uses a local database to store these data?? If so when is the values in the local database updated?
Is making an synchronous call on a separate thread same as making an asynchronous server call?
Please provide your suggestions.Thanks in advance
Ideally, load data "on demand". Request from the server the data the user is seeing at the moment, or that you think she will see soon. Also, request data in batches (for example, last 50 posts, or post between certain dates).
Considering the answer above, Facebook does something similar. The key is to be smart on the server side. Let the client ask for a feed, for example. The server returns the last 50 posts and a "next page" attribute. The client can store that attribute and when the user scrolls down to the last post, send a request to the server asking for more news and passing the "next page" attribute that the server previously returned. The server of course will return a new "next page" with the new request. In this way, what is returned to the client is decided by the server.
Yes, you should use a local database which acts like a client cache. This is used to present the data that was shown to the user the last time she opened the app, so that you can show something while the request is loading from the server. You should update your database when the server sends a response to your request. This is also valid for friend lists, messages, etc. Don't forget, though, that the server has he most up-to-date information and the client database is mostly a cache to display temporary information.
Not exactly the same but for your use case it will be very similar. Ideally some operating systems provide low level asynchronous network operations, which is much better than handling it on your code with a background thread.
In Scala's Liftweb there are some classes which allow for Javascript to be pushed to the browser via comet/ajax after the page has loaded. Some documentation here.
The usage could be for example when someone submits a form to the server, the form would submit via AJAX and then some Javascript can be sent from the server to the client to show some error message. Well this is just for example, there are better ways to do form validation.
Is there any way to push Javascript from the NodeJS server to the client to do updates? Any standard way to do this? Why I want to do this is that its nicer to have all client and server code located in one server file.
Also as a secondary question, can I access the page data from the server side? It would be nice to be able to query a page element from the server side or query some page data from the server side.
You can build this functionality into socket.io, either by predefining functions based on dynamic objects that are sent bi-directionally, or by building a system which will parse and run javascript from both sides. Depending on what you are trying to do it might take a while to get that working for you securely (not just throwing everything in eval());
http://socket.io/
Alternatively there is a library built on node.js that has this functionality built in. I have not personally used it so I can't attest to the reliability or security of the system, but it should be a good place to start.

Hope this helps!
From a web browser (Win/Mac) I need to launch a desktop application and pass it a response string (e.g. XML) from the webserver. For Windows, as far as I can tell I have two straightforward options:
Set the application as a default program, and respond in a standard way so the browser associates the response with that extension/Content-type. The browser validates the association, stores the response to a temp file and the app opens it.
Register a protocol, which causes the browser to launch the app, passing the URL to it. In this case apparently the string needs to be something like Base64-encoded (yet shorter than the browser's URL length limit). Otherwise I'd store the file on the webserver and the URL would be given to the app to request itself. This seems to be less than ideal, but iTunes uses it (itms://).
Which is generally easier to register by app installers across platforms? What I don't know at the moment is the particular installer framework being used by this app.
I have NO development experience with this but I think it's all about what you are developing and the business model.
Option 1
Would be useful when you create some sort of custom meta data file which can be viewed nicely in an application.
Company X has their own XML Schema's. Customers can download their data in that format.
Company servers serve these files with their registered/custom content-type. Customer can install an application that handles that content-type. Application development is focused on supporting the XML Schema's and build an interface upon it.
Option 2
Would be useful when you distribute content online.
Apple turned their iTunes business model into a protocol. So every channel (web,browser extensions,mobile apps,desktop,mobile sites,company devices,etc) they want market share can use that protocol. Application development is focused on supporting the protocol (business model) and build an interface upon it most fit for the channel.
