Recently i was trying to export my friends' birthday's list from facebook, where i was provided a url like-
webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/b.php?uid=14422701&key=42c5e45fasd
I wonder, what is this webcal:// protocol? can anyone help me please? I tried googling but didnt reach an easy to understand solution.
Webcal was initiated for use with the Apple iCal application and has become a common de facto standard for accessing iCalendar formatted files via WebDAV.[citation needed] It is not an official URI scheme, such as http: and ftp:, as registered with IANA. The Webcal protocol prefix is used to trigger an external protocol handler which is passed the URL of the .ics file rather than being passed the downloaded contents of the file, in much the same way feed: is sometimes used to trigger external RSS readers. The idea is that with this protocol prefix the target file should be subscribed to rather than imported into the calendar application as would happen with a simple download.

A few days ago, I was playing around with a local API(not Google) and it required me to provide a Redirect Uri while trying to setup my app in their dashboard.
I did some googling and top searches led me to oAuth2.0 and Google Developer's website. But this API I'm using is not related with any of Google's so I thought it won't be relevant.
Is the setup of Redirect Uri for most APIs universal or almost the same? What programming languages can I use to implement this?
The description also says I need to parse a subscriber_number and access_token in JSON format. How do I do that?
Please note that I have already found a free hosting site via Firebase and have provided my own link. I also did the initial steps from another user to fire the required access_token that I needed to parse from the Redirect Uri. But accessing it from the browser right after triggering doesn't give me anything. I'm so clueless. Any help is much appreciated!
I am very new to Salesforce and it's API.
I am having a sandbox org and with it I have url, username, password, security token and last but not the least partner.wsdl
My aim was to connect and retrieve/create data.
Technologies at hand was nodejs
So here is how I started.
I searched over the internet and came to know that I need to create a client, SOAP client in order to login, create the connection and use that connection to create and access the Leads data.So I followed this sample where the wsdl was being consumed.
So I was able to connect
I was very happy on this success and then suddenly I wasn't able to identify/find a way where I can get the sObject.I looked hard for this but no luck. So posted a question on SO
Meanwhile I also looked for other node module and found jsforce
I used jsforce starting guide and created a client that was connecting to salesforce however without using the wsdl file.
Again I was happy, even more happy because I was having the sObject with me.
Now, what is the fundamental difference if I login using the local wsdl file and without wsdl file in the language of salesforce. Which one is the correct way of logging in?
Sorry if this question is not according to SO rules or if there is a typo.
I'm the author of jsforce you mentioned.
In that lib we use REST API mostly and SOAP APIs are only used in some specific calls like login or metadata. Even in such calls we don't use WSDLs because there's no good lib to generate client modules from WSDL in JavaScript/Node.js area. Instead we wrote modules for each APIs which generate SOAP XML strings and parse the response XML.
It is enough because these API message schema are static and fiesible in the specific version, unlike SOAP API Enterprise WSDL differs in organizations. So we can hard code the client module directly w/o generate it from WSDL.
I'm trying to build my app based on Windows Media Services REST API (i'm not using any SDK, just plain rest api requests).
My steps are more or less like:
Create Asset
Assign write Access Policy
Assign upload locator
Upload a file to URL specified by upload locator path
Assign download Access Policy
Assign download locator
All those steps seems to work great but - how can i actually get the video streaming URL? I can't see anything, which looks like such url (as far as i know, it should look similar to upload URL from upload locator). Should i "fold" it by myself using some segments from various parts of api ?
Based on this article, i should append the path parameter with name parameter and /manifest (so it should looke like that: <path_param>/<name_param>.ism/manifest) but it gives me ResourceNotFound error. Anyway, i've seen that other people (like SHIBSANKAR) have found some way to obtain all asset urls so i think there is some way to do it but they have not descrbed how they've done it.
After reading all the docs and talking with microsoft support, i have figured it out. All the URL parts are returned by download locator and the formula looks like that:
#{BaseUri}/video.mp4#{ContentAccessComponent}
I hope someone will find that usefull someday.
From Google's documents we are asked to setup our own web server to host the receiver.html.
Is there a default public chrome-cast receiver that can be used by any one?
I just need the very basic receiver, the same as the receiver.html that provided in the CastSample, but I don't want to run my own server to host this simple file.
Thanks!
There is another simple way to do this. There is a site called pastehtml.com, where you can host a simple html for free and stays forever. You can even edit it whenever you want. Just now created mine, but I havent yet submitted it to google. Will keep you posted, once I get an approval or rejection from google on my device's whitelisting.
Chromecast receivers are tied to a URL, so I don't see how there could be a public one for a custom application, unless someone publishes a receiver that offers a service that your sender needs.
Bear in mind that the receiver needs to be publicly hosted on the web, but it doesn't not need to be dynamically generated. You could, for example, upload your html/css/js files to Amazon S3 and configure it to serve them very cheaply. There are probably other places where you can host files and have them served over http for minimal cost.
Let's say I have a Spring MVC web application and it allows users to download a file. An email is sent at the same time as the file is sent to the user.
Is there a way to detect cancelled download so I could send the email only if the download has been successful?
You need a download script that serves larger files in seperate blocks. When the last block has been served, you can assume (there is no way to know with HTTP) that the complete file was received by the client.
Have a look at questions 157318 and 194579 on how to achieve this in PHP. Since you always use HTTP (or HTTPS) to serve the files, the same principles apply to your question.
