GitHub – proxykit/ProxyKit: A toolkit to create code-first HTTP reverse proxies on ASP.NET Core
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/28
Interesting: [Archive.is] GitHub – proxykit/ProxyKit: A toolkit to create code-first HTTP reverse proxies on ASP.NET Core:
Having built proxies many times before, I felt it is time to make a package. Forked from ASP.NET labs, it has been heavily modified with a different API, to facilitate a wider variety of proxying scenarios (i.e. routing based on a JWT claim) and interception of the proxy requests / responses for customization of headers and (optionally) request / response bodies. It also usesHttpClientFactoryinternally that will mitigate against DNS caching issues making it suitable for microservice / container environments.

- 2. Core Features
- 3. Recipes
- 4. Making upstream servers reverse proxy friendly
- 5. Performance considerations
- 6. Note about serverless
- 7. Comparison with Ocelot
- 8. How to build
- 9. Contributing / Feedback / Questions
- 10. Articles, blogs and other external links

Twitter thread by thread by @0xdade; More unicode shit: zero width space and a zero width nonjoiner in filenames
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/22

Today I learned that you can put zero width spaces in file names on Linux. Have fun.I’m playing with this because punycode/IDN is fascinating, and I wanted to know what happened when I started shoving unicode in the path portion of the url, which isn’t part of how browsers try to protect URLs, as far as I can tell
I think it’s more entertaining to have a file that is named *only* a zero width space, but I think using them throughout a filename is better to break tab completion and not stand out too much. A filename that is just blank looks strange in ls output.Thank goodness adduser is looking out for our best interests.Oooh this one is pretty subtle.Just about pissed myself with this one.Not related to the terminal fun, but related to zero width characters:
You can:
– Break url previews https://0xda.de
– @0xdade without tagging
– Make a word like systemd not searchable twitter.com/search?q=from%…Okay but back to command line crap. I really like this one. Create a directory named .[ZWS]One thing that is cool about using zero width spaces is that “ls” has a flag, “-b”, that is meant to escape non-graphic characters. Inserting a newline, for instance, would be escaped to \n. But the zero width space is technically a graphic character, so nothing happens.
Fun.
Have no fear, though. It’s not unbeatable. It’s only fun if the language and LC settings are set to support utf-8. If you set LC_ALL=C or whatever that isn’t utf-8, then it looks like this.Putting a link to this tweet here so that I don’t lose it again in the future.

- [WayBack] Nick Craver on Twitter: “Hey anyone remember a good decade or so where where we all finally agreed “don’t test against user agents, that’s bad!”, but then Google decided to break the internet with SameSite cookie shenanigans and we’re over here writing regexes against user agents in 2020? Good times.”
