Creating a file to Download dynamically in an https / SSL connection

Hi there,

Here is a tip when you are programming something that you want your file’s path to be hidden. It’s specially when its under a secure connection or https or SSL connection.

Remember the mime type ea. image/jpg
Remember the file name ea. image.jpg
Remember not to put expiration and no-cache on your header
Remember to open it on another tab or window as much as possible
When you are debugging you can remove the headers so the file won’t be downloaded

Hope this tips can help you specially #3 because your download will fail on lower version of IE.

Thanks,

Single Login Per User

Have ever wondering on how can you handle a Single Login Per User on your website? Yes may be you will need to disable multiple login due to some security reasons. So here is the only perfect way that you can do it:

When the user login flag on the database either an IP(for single login on a network) or Session Id of the user (for single login across all network).
Then every time the user visit a page in your website check if the flag has been change.
If the flag has been change then log off the current user

That way you can manage only one login per account depending on what situation you want it to happen. If you are thinking that you don’t want to logoff the current user but disable other login that will be impossible to happen. Because you can’t stop a user from closing the browser or shutting down the computer. In such cases you can’t handle on your script.

The index.html, What is it?

Have you ever wonder what is an index.html?

An index.html, in some cases default.html, is the main page of our website. It is the default file that our browser/server look for to view our website. The file extension(.html) also varies to what programming language we are using.

PHP -> index.php
ASP -> index.asp
ASP.Net ->index.aspx
JSP -> index.jsp
HTML ->index.html

It can also be set on some programming language on what specific file should the browser/server look for.

So be reminded that if you are developing a website that you should set the main page’s file name of your website to index.
