Hi Sebastian,

I just thought I'd let you know I came across this page by googling when I just couldn't get something to work and it really helped me out. Even though there are no comments on here, people out there are reading and finding this stuff useful and I, for one, appreciate your effort

Thanks for this useful post..

@Treibholz, how do we use your command to generate multiple files. I changed the count=20 but still only one file was created

Saad: Disable AIR's login dialog when using XMLHR with HTTP basic authentication

I'm using dojo js-framework for sending the AJAX-Request. Headers and user credentials are all setup correctly, only when disabling AIR's login dialog it doesn't work! Is there any way to catch this dialog maybe!?

Thanks for your comment! How exactly are you doing the authenticated request? Are you just prepending the credentials to the URL (like http://foo:bar@some.url) or are you putting the credentials as an custom HTTP header?

As far as I remember, prepending the credentials in the URL did not work for AJAX calls. I had to explicitely generate an HttpBasicAuth header:

Using prototype.js that would be done using the the "requestHeaders" property. The contents of the header must be "Authorization: Basic "

Hi Sebastian,

Setting the htmlLoader.authenticate=false definitely disables the dialog box from popping up, but every request is now returned as a 401 even I'm passing the right username and password. Any ideas why?

Thanks

PHP Gangsta: fgetcsv in PHP fails with Mac-created files

Oh, my last comment was stripped (bug in blog software, I used a "less than" character in my comment)

@manuw: I don't understand your function.
chr(13) -- Carriage Return: \r is already in the list
chr(10) -- Line Feed: you replace \n with \n ?
chr(21) -- This is a NAK character, why is it in the list?

What is \v, I've never seen this?!

Hi Luca,

thanks for your comment. Yes, there are really some things which annoy me when working with CSS3 in Air. Hopefully this will become better, soon.

Hi Sebastian,
actually font-face doesn't work on Linux too. Air sdk version 2.0 beta.
I'm really disappointed because Adobe says "support for css3 modules" but actually I can see only poor support of it.

function breakdancer($line){
return str_replace(array('\r\n','\0','\v','\t','\r',chr(13),chr(10),chr(21)),'\n', trim($line));
}

Hi Steve,

thanks for your comment. Until now I did not find out anything more. The only information I found so far: AIR seems to only support OpenType fonts. But no clue about font-face support under Windows.

I'm currently trying to get a personal contact at Adobe. Maybe I can find out anything more using this way.

Best,
Sebastian

It actually does work on a mac. I've spent the last few months building an app with custom fonts assuming that because it works in webkit on a mac, it would work in webkit on windows as well. Nope! Now I get to go through and re-font, image, or sifr everything.

If you've found any more info please let me know.

if you use

dd if=/dev/zero of=file${i} bs=1 seek=2048 count=0

the files have the size of 2048, but don't need the space on the harddisk (sparse-files)
