GHeimdall is out!

This week, I released GHeimdall - A small web application for Google Apps SSO service. That was very exciting. It seems that there is no response without Alex's. I hope someone will use it.

http proxy is complicated

There were a post that gdata-python-client had no proxy support on GData Python Client Library Contributors.
This week I had implemented the proxy support of that library and posted a patch. Jeff had looked into it and got it into the svn repository.

Not until I wrote this code I was not aware of the complexity of http(s) proxy mechanism. If the final destination is http url, things are very simple. To acomplish the duty, just connect the proxy server and issue the http method as usual but with absolutely URL(started with 'http://') instead of partial URL(started with '/'). But the destination becomes https url, things get complicated. We have to use CONNECT method to open a ssl socket to dest server directly. And then issue the http method on this ssl socket.

Ah... explanation in English is very difficult.

Anyway, I had learned little about proxy mechanism :)

My codes were accepted!

My codes (provisioning API client in python) were accepted with praise :) I'm very glad.

But this is just a start. I will write more open source codes.

I hope that members of our company would write more open source codes, and submit it to the project. Actually, there are very few members who submit their codes to the outside world. It is so lamentable.

Because our company declare that we are 'Open Source Company', so I think that more members should write open source codes.

Happy coding,

Medical check, Voice trainning, MacOS9, and pretty 3 cats

As I wrote yesterday, I and my wife had took complete medical checkup. I hate drinking barium, and rectum check.

Then I went to train my voice, and after that I went to my uncle's place to fix his computer troubles. There I met 3 cats which he feeds.

First post

I had finished to write Google Apps Provisioning API V2 client codes in python. I wish they will take it in the main tree. I have some confidence about that.

I am writing tgsso too. What is tgsso? Tgsso is TurboGears Google Single Sign On. It's a little web application which enables you to authenticate Google Apps users by PAM. Its outline is almost done, but there are many things to do.

By the way, tomorrow I and my wife will have complete medical checkup. I hope we both are in good health. So, we are banned from eating or drinking anything after 9pm. Sigh...

Let's sleep early.
