FF Addon-sdk: easy way to avoid server scripts - firefox-addon-sdk

I'm trying to, given a target website, avoid all the server-scripts. In order to do that, I first downloaded the contents of that page and then created a pagemod that detects the URL. The problem is that, then, I want to load the stored contents but I don't know how to do it easily. For example, I've tried:
new PageMod({
include: /(http:\/\/)?(www.google)(.([a-z]){2,3}){1,2}(\/)?/,
contentURL: data.url('google.html'),
contentScriptWhen: 'end',
contentScriptFile: [data.url('contentScripts/jquery.js'),
data.url('contentScripts/handleQuery.js')],
contentScript: 'alert("' + data.load('contentScripts/google.html') + '");',
onAttach: function getQuery(worker) { ... }
Where google.html is Google's main page. But it gives me a lot of errors...
Does someone know a better solution?
EDIT: The goal is to, somehow, avoid the scripts that a server can execute when you go to a website (PHP, C#, etc). I thought that if I download the page I only get the client-code (html, css, javascript, etc) so, if I load the page locally I can do that. The problem is that I don't know how, using the Firefox addon-sdk, to load a local page stored for example in the data folder. I hope this explanation clarifies a little bit.

Setting up Dynamic Links in Firebase with Wordpress site

I am really struggling here... All I actually want to achieve is that I can get the Generate-Strong-Password function inside my app but that is actually harder than I thought.
I learned that I should go with Firebase Dynamic Links because I have a Wordpress-Website from All-Inkl.com.
I followed this Tutorial and there is actually an Apple-Site-Association-File at the moment. But I can't access my Website anymore as it looks like this:
Inside my Firebase Project I am getting this error which says that there not all the necessary "A-Files" are inside my Website:
My DNS-Settings:
I've been struggling for weeks now to get this done so if anyone has any idea how I can fix it I would be extremely grateful!! (btw, I am a total newbie when it comes to websites; I know my way around Swift though)
It seems that different domain providers accept different values for DNS entries ('A records' = 'A-Datensätze', in this case).
Try editing the entries for the Host field (which currently hold your website's URL) to one of the 'common inputs' listed here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/custom-domain?hl=de#domain-key
As the URL to your site doesn't seem to be what your provider accepts, I would suggest you try replacing it with the next option, i.e. replacing it with # .
Hope this helps solving your issue!

How can I actually download/transfer a file found using UPnP?

I'm completely new to UPnP as a protocol, but I'm hoping to use it to transfer files from a Sony Camera to an iOS app I'm working on. So far I have SSDP discovery setup, I can read the UPnP client's services, search through folders and access file names, but the final hurdle which I'm stuck on is how to actually download/transfer the files once I'm able to list them!
What I end up getting is the below:
<item id="04_02_0624600856_000001_000001_000000" restricted="1" parentID="03_01_0624600856_000001_000000_000000">

<res protocolInfo="http-get:*:image/jpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=JPEG_SM;DLNA.ORG_CI=1">http://192.168.122.1:60151/SM_DSC05076.ARW?%2104%5f02%5f0624600856%5f000001%5f000001%5f000000%21http%2dget%3a%2a%3aimage%2fjpeg%3aDLNA%2eORG%5fPN%3dJPEG%5fSM%3bDLNA%2eORG%5fCI%3d1%21%21%21%21%21</res>

I would (With my naive experience of simple HTTP APIs) then expect to simply be able to download the file in question by hitting:
http://192.168.122.1:60151/SM_DSC05076.ARW or similar (I'm assuming I have to change this URL slightly as the file is listed as image/jpeg rather than RAW?
Whatever combination I try of the full res object, snipping bits, decoding the url e.t.c. I always get a 404 response when trying to visit the URL in question. Is there something more complex I need to do here? Or something simple that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
The problem here was that I was using a url from a previous session. It turns out that the urls change between connection sessions, which is why I was getting a 404.
Lesson learned: UPnP is highly dynamic, and you can’t rely on caching images under their access MRL!

How do relative URLs work in Sinatra?

I am hosting my Sinatra application using Apache with Passenger. It's hosted within a subfolder -- meaning, my main site is example.com, my application is at example.com/popcorn.
So I have a get '/' route, and that works fine. The problem is that my view includes a HTML form that makes a post request to upload, and the post '/upload' route isn't handling it. Instead of example.com/popcorn/upload, it's trying to get example.com/upload.
So I figure okay, not the ideal solution, but for now I'll hardcode the form action URL. But that doesn't work either -- making the action popcorn/upload fails too. This is where I get a little baffled, and my Google-fu was weak, I couldn't find help there.
Maybe I could have some kind of Apache rewrite rule, but is that the correct solution? Am I missing something? I would really appreciate a tip here because it feels like I've messed up something very simple and it's really bugging me.
You probably want the url helper method. That takes into account where the app is mounted on the server:
url('/upload')
The above code will evaluate to something like this:
http://example.com/popcord/upload
Inside your app you shouldn’t need to change anything, this will be routed to the existing post '/upload' handler.

blank.html is downloaded multiple times

GWT is used and the application is deployed on WebLogic using HTTPS.
The performance is poor and with F12 Developer Tools, we could see that blank.html is downloaded multiple times. This is clearly related to GWT but we have not been able to figure out why.
The following is from javascript:
defineSeed(2613, 2614, makeCastMap([Q$BaseModelData, Q$ModelData, Q$Theme, Q$Serializable]), Slate_0);
var SLATE;
function $clinit_GXT(){
$clinit_GXT = nullMethod;
IMAGES = new XImages_generatedBundle_0;
MESSAGES = new XMessages__0;
SSL_SECURE_URL = getModuleBaseURL() + 'blank.html';
}
This is from GWT.java:
/**
* URL to a blank file used by GXT when in secure mode for iframe src to
* prevent the IE insecure content. Default value is 'blank.html'.
*/
public static String SSL_SECURE_URL = GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "blank.html";
Does anyone know under what circumstances blank.html is called?
Thanks!
This is from GWT.java:
This is actually from GXT.java.
This is used in a few cases when creating an <iframe> element, so that IE won't give errors if your site is hosted from SSL. I can actually only find one case (as of GXT 3.1.1) which uses this, in Layer.java. Only IE pages loaded from https urls will make use of this.
The Layer class uses this as a "shim", a way to prop up some DOM elements above overs, and work around some browser bugs (typically plugin or iframe related). Menus and popup dialogs use this to ensure that they don't appear "underneath" content that they should be "above".
This file is very small - just enough HTML to convince IE than the iframe has correctly loaded, and no more. It never changes, and should load nearly instantly.
As far as performance goes, this should only happen when a Menu or Window/Dialog/Tooltip is shown - these shouldn't be happening on app startup usually, at least not more than a window or two. Additionally, the browser should recognize that it is loading the same element and cache it correctly, and not load it multiple times (though it might be listed several times as hitting the cache). If the server has instructed the browser to never cache the file, that is something you should look at changing.
In short, this is very unlikely to be the cause of any performance issues, at least in GXT itself. If somehow you have the shim enabled on every single widget in your project, this should not be required. If the file is loading slowly, something may be very wrong with your server configuration.
For reference, here is the entire file:

Gtkwebkit, save html to pdf

Last days I search for best and shortest way to convert html files to pdf. Since I create my html files with C program and see them through gtkwebkit which uses cairo it should be some efficient and direct way to convert content of showed page to html with C (I think).
But can't find any example or direction to go on the net.
Until now, among different virtual printers, I find only commandline tools which are maded in perl or which depends on qt what is not wanted.
Please for any suggestion, example or advice to get this functionality from gtkwebkit and if not, maybe something with some tiny C library.
As far as I can tell from reading the documentation (haven't tried it out myself):
Get the main frame with webkit_web_view_get_main_frame().
Create a GtkPrintOperation with gtk_print_operation_new().
Set the export-file property on your print operation to be the name of the PDF you want to export to.
Print the frame with webkit_web_frame_print_full(). Make sure to pass GTK_PRINT_OPERATION_ACTION_EXPORT as the 'action' parameter.
I once wrote some code, to accomplish that without opening a window. But then I ran into a problem with using that code from multiple threads (in a webserver e.g.). I made some research and I figured out that gtk itself is single threaded. So I made my code thread safe, by queuing the print operations to the main thread.
