Today, we dive into two spaces on the federated social web, look at their history and the players behind them, and talk about their potential futures. [Plus protocols & interoperability.]
Ceptr is a platform for next-gen networking, providing a protocol for pluggable protocols, distributed data integrity on Holochains, and truly distributed application hosting
Let’s start with an example. Say we have an amazing website with a login to protect some private data we made available to our users at /private. We won’t make this example too complicated, so let’s…
User agents commonly apply same-origin restrictions to network requests. These restrictions prevent a client-side Web application running from one origin from obtaining data retrieved from another origin, and also limit unsafe HTTP requests that can be automatically launched toward destinations that differ from the running application's origin. In user agents that follow this pattern, network requests typically include user credentials with cross-origin requests, including HTTP authentication and cookie information.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a specification that enables truly open access across domain-boundaries. If you serve public content, please consider using CORS to open it up for universal JavaScript/browser access.
Golang have a great http server package: net/http As always, it’s simple and very powerful. Define the function that handle a route, and let’s listen to port 80. Nice, but let’s use a more powerfull…
A high-performance, open-source universal RPC framework. Client applications can directly call methods on a server application on a different machine as if it was a local object.
I’ve been writing Go (Golang when not spoken) since r59 — a pre 1.0 release — and have been building HTTP APIs and services in Go for the past seven years. At Machine Box, most of my technical work…
This specification describes an optimized expression of the semantics of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), referred to as HTTP version 2 (HTTP/2). HTTP/2 enables a more efficient use of network resources and a reduced perception of latency by introducing header field compression and allowing multiple concurrent exchanges on the same connection. It also introduces unsolicited push of representations from servers to clients. This specification is an alternative to, but does not obsolete, the HTTP/1.1 message syntax. HTTP's existing semantics remain unchanged.
