golang – joining a URI (either with our without terminating slash) with a URI part

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/06

path.Join is for file paths, which will call path.Clean and malform the path by converting double slash in front of the authority in a URI into a single slash.

The workaround is to parse the URI, then join the path bit.

One day I will encapsulate all that.

Some relevant bits for when I write that encapsulation:

Packer template for Alpine Linux on Hyper-V and Azure; GitHub – tomconte/packer-alpine-azure

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/05

Cool: a Packer template for Alpine Linux on Hyper-V and Azure: [WayBack] GitHub – tomconte/packer-alpine-azure

I like Alpine Linux because it is lightweight and the focus of being very secure, how popular it is in the Docker scene where it replaced Ubuntu and is now the standar package at [Archive.is/A2] library/alpine – Docker Hub and the motto [WayBack] Alpine Linux; Small. Simple. Secure. Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and busybox.

Alpine is not yet out of of the box endorsed by Azure ([WayBack] Endorsed distributions of Linux | Microsoft Docs) so this is a very welcome tool.

From the readme:

Keeping a local copy of sysinternals current

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/05

From my install script:

mkdir C:\bin
robocopy /mir \\live.sysinternals.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot c:\bin\sysinternals

The \\live.sysinternals.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot comes from following the https://live.sysinternals.com URL in the Windows Explorer: the Windows Explorer automatically translates that to a back-slash based share syntax.

I got at that trick via these links:
