Curl POST files and Squid
For releases we also package a PEAR package for each component. We have a channel server at http://components.ez.no that can be integrated to download each component separately, but with dependency checking. As server back-end we use Chiara_PEAR_Server, which allows us to upload each component's release with a web-form. Now that we're having more and more available components uploading them one by one is no fun anymore—even more because the Firefox developers thought to be smart and force you to use the dialog instead of pasting in the filename.
So I wrote a script not too long ago to upload all the .tgz PEAR packages through curl . That was working great for quite a few releases. Unfortunately, when I rolled our latest 2008.2beta1 release this script refused to work. I investigated a bit and saw that curl posted only the header of the request, and not the POST body. Being annoyed by that I tried older curl versions to see if those were working, but no luck. I even tried PECL 's HTTP package only in order to find out that it actually uses curl in order to do requests.
So because all of that failed, I looked a tad more at the headers that curl was posting, and found this " Expect: 100-continue " header, which can be used to test whether a web server will accept a certain request based on headers. Turns out that Squid doesn't quite support that and simply rejects the request. As we use Squid to accelerate our site, we now have to create an SSH tunnel to the web server so that we can run curl against localhost with a port forward to the web server. Not fun, but it works.
Comments
You can turn this feature off using curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
"Expect: 100-continue" only exists since HTTP/1.1. Forcing the use of HTTP/1.0 should work too. For instance: curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0);
I'm curious to see your little script. Is it opensource ? Would you publish it ? Thanks
Life Line
I've finished reading This Way Up. It's about maps, that went wrong.
It's a good read, but htyerr were several chapters that were written in a novel way (as a video transcript, a series of letters), and I found distracting from the a tail content. It'll have worked better in a produced video.
No mention of @openstreetmap though :-(

The Early Cormorant Catches the Eel
Sorry, not the best photo! But I caught this Cormorant catching this large eel when looking for Bank Swallows, right next to Eel Pie Island in the Thames.

Updated an estate_agent office
I went to my nieces' birthday party yesterday.
The theme was pink, and that included all the food, mostly died with beet root.
Shock and horror this morning when doing number two. Not only was my turd dark red, it was also glittering at me. Apparently the carrot cake had edible glitter...
So now I know what's worse than glitter.

I've been spending some time in random London local nature reserves.
Sitting and listening, and in fifteen minutes you spot countless species.
This one was in Ham Lands Local Nature Reserve near Teddington.
