A naive try would be something like this: $ nc -l 8082 | nc remote_host 80 Yes, it does forward the request from local port 8082 to remote_host:80 , but the response is dumped to stdout , not routed back to the client as expected. Using a named pipe makes it work: $ mkfifo backpipe $ nc -l 8082 0<backpipe | nc ... Use tee to get a glimpse of the response through the pipe (I wasn't able to find a way to dump the request): $ nc -k -l 8082 0<backpipe | nc localhost 80 | tee... The GNU netcat has a different syntax than the stock nc . It also supports different switches. To listen to port 1234: $ netcat -l -p 1234...

When you sign an APK with existing signature, the new certificate is appended to the existing one. If you want to replace the existing certificate, you need to remove it first. But since an APK is just a zip file, this is pretty easy: Remove existing signature: $ zip -d HelloWorld-new.apk META-INF/* deleting... Verify: $ unzip -l HelloWorld-new.apk Archive: HelloWo... Sign it again: $ jarsigner HelloWorld-new.apk android-root Ent...

Following are some bugs in the Xalan jar shipped with JBoss 5.1.0 GA and JBoss 6.0. The Xalan jar file is located in jboss-5.1.0.GA/lib/endorsed ( %JBOSS_HOME%/common/lib for JBoss 6.0).

The -d switch for cURL sends HTTP POST with data from the command line. To verify the data being posted, this is a CGI script that echos the data back: #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe ## ## echo -- echos ... Examples: POST data from command line: C:\>curl -d input1=value1^&input1=value2 http://lo... POST data from stdin (with @ before the - symbol): C:\>curl -d @- http://localhost/cgi-bin/echo.pl ... POST data from a file (with @ before the - symbol and input redirect): C:\tmp>cat data.txt abcd 1234 xyz ... For some reason, @ with file name didn't work as expected: C:\tmp>curl -d @data.txt http://localhost/cgi-bin/... One thing to notice is that cURL removes the new line characters when posting (thus the echo back is only one line instead of three). This can...

cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. The main purpose and use for cURL is to automate unattended file transfers or sequences of operations. It's really easy to see HTTP headers with curl: C:\>curl --head http://www.google.com HTTP/1.0 ... or, headers and page together (dump headers to stdout): $ curl --dump-header - http://www.google.com HTTP/...

Java SE 6 contains built-in utilities to generate XML signatures. This is an example that generates XML signatures using a Java keystore. It has options to generate signature for the whole document, for an element with a specific ID, or for elements matched by an XPATH expression. The XML document used to test is taken from Getting Started with XML Security : <?xml version="1.0"?> <PatientRecord> ... This is the Java code: import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.... However, it looks like the XPATH transform is not working. The digest generated with XPATH filter is exactly the same as that without it (i.e., the whole document)!
