Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server featuring a polished and easy to use interface with a robust backend HTTP server.
The concept is simple: a request to your computer by a user displays an image of your screen in the user's web browser.
The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
The program downloads a html-page in regular intervals, and searches it for regular expressions.
All HTML-tags are removed, and the remaining text is searched for regular expressions, which can be defined in a list.
Matching rows are displayed in a panel, and different alarms may be triggered.
The alarms are repeated when the resultset changed.
* is language-neutral: it will allow the writing of software libraries for communicating with JMS providers in any language that has libraries for communicating over HTTP.
* is RESTful: it provides a RESTful equivalent to all of the non-optional portions of the JMS API including
o registration of resources administered by the messaging provider
o connection and session management
o sending and receipt of all types of JMS message
Implementation overview
HJB
*
is deployed as a servlet (HJBServlet), that can run on any compliant Servlet specification 2.4 container.
*
will work with any messaging vendor that provides a JMS interface.
*
aims to do one thing well. Its role is to act as an HTTP gateway server for JMS resources. Other potentially useful features are deliberately excluded, e.g,
o HTTP session management
o authentication and authorization
If a server goes down during a download, download programs can automatically switch to another mirror. Or segments can be downloaded from different places at the same time, automatically, which can make downloads much faster.
