I bumped into some issues for a client/server project that tried to perform its own SSPI/NTLM base64 authentication on the server side.
Some links that helped me debug that combo:

Complaint Friday…
A long time ago, I complained about the (now old!) WordPress.com editor being wrong, wrong, wrong: Another example of the editor eating line breaks « WordPress.com Forums.
The promise then was that the new editor would be better.
The big news: the new editor is just as bad in this respect (and far worse in other respects).
Just watch the text around my signature and PS in the texts below and shiver.
Lets start with the original text of my GoToWebinar blog post today:

It is always cool to see some mashups: apart from great examples, they also make for some good research material.

A while ago, i came across this interesting question: Are there optimal days/hours to post questions in order to get visibility and answers? – Meta Super User.
The recommended time 1400 UTC is related to my blog post scheduling behaviour.
Virtually all my blog posts are either (when both apply at the same time, that is pure coincidence):
I schedule posts on Monday through Friday:
So why the time difference of about 8 hours between 0600 UTC and 1400 UTC?
That has to do with the public I generally interact with: software developers speaking English, mainly living in European and USA, with a minority in India, Asia and down-under.

Yesterday I posted this question on StackOverflow and G+: Is there a url or site like example.org which always produces a 404 error?
Soon after that, I found out three links that produce predictable HTTP status codes:
They also work for https:
- 200: https://www.google.com
- 204: https://www.google.com/generate_204
- 404: https://www.google.com/404
Edit 20241223: these also return a 404: http://www.google.com/undefined and https://www.google.com/undefined
On StackOverflow very few people even noticed the question, probably wondering “why?”.
I’m using these links for positive and negative testing of some http / https handling code that needs to be good at coping with positive and negative responses.
In my testing life, I’ve learned the hard way that both negative and positive tests are core part of your suite, hence the question.

It’s not perfect, but makes the conversion a heck of a lot easier:
to-markdown – an HTML to Markdown converter written in javascript (of which sources are on github).
[Edit 20150919: added more converters: now at least there is competition (:]

Any web developer should know how to capture and trace HTTP traffic.
I’ve written about Fiddler before, but that’s a Windows specific tool.
Time to have a small list of posts and links to tools that work on various platforms.
I’ve left out Java based tools as there have been too many security issues with Java over the last couple of years.
