This is what I understand of it:
The .x file defines the interface and the parameters that are shared by the server and client. When you compile it with rpcgen, it generates the .h, _xdr.c, _clnt.c and _svc.c. The _clnt.c would be the stub and the _svc.c is the skelleton, right?
I understand that they intermediate the communication between the 2, but how so? Also, the example I've seen running had you specify the IP address of the machine to connect to (in the example it was using the same one, 127.0.0.1), but you don't specify the port. Does it have a reserved port?
The procedure has two steps. There is a port mapper running on port 111 and a RPC service registers through and is discovered by this service but may itself run on an arbitrary port.
See RFC 1833 - Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 for details.
On an RPC server machine, there is a process running called the endpoint mapper (this applies specifically to ONC RPC but other RPC mechanisms will be similar). This process runs on a known port so anyone can connect to it (security and existence allowing, of course).
An RPC server will start up and register itself with the endpoint mapper, giving its code (e.g., MULT) and port number, and the endpoint mapper will dutifully store that information for later use:
+---------+ +--------+
| Mapper, | <- Register MULT, port Y -- | Server |
| known | | for |
| port X | | MULT |
+---------+ +--------+
When a client subsequently connects to the endpoint mapper using the IP address, it gives the desired code (MULT) and the endpoint mapper then provides the final destination - now the client knows both the IP address and port for the MULT service:
+--------+ +---------+
| Client | -- Request MULT -> | Mapper, |
| | <- Return port Y -- | known |
| | | port X |
+--------+ +---------+
At that point, the endpoint mapper can step out of the way and let the client open up a session directly with the MULT service itself.
+--------+ +--------+
| Client | -- Connect to MULT -> | Server |
| | <- Do stuff -> | for |
| | | MULT |
+--------+ +--------+

I'm looking at implementing the necessary handling for CORS on a Device which exposes a basic HTTP server for control. In order to define how the Device should respond I've found myself attempting to understand just how the browser would be configured to perform the requests. In particular, I'm trying to better understand the behaviour of a browser around Fetch's Request credentials mode (and to a lesser extent XMLHttpRequest.withCredentials).
I'm aware that it would be problematic for the Device to respond with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * if the Initial Server has set the request's credentials mode to be include. This is per the table here.
I don't quite understand when / why the Initial Server would actually set this mode.
Is this...
a flag to the browser so its aware the Initial Server has explicitly added credentials in its request to Device
a request to the browser's internal mechanisms to find any credentials for Device it has stored, and to include them in the CORS Request
a request to the browser's internal mechanisms to forward on any credentials it has used when talking to Initial Server onto the Device
other (?)
I'm assuming its intended for enabling option 2 due to the reference to the Confused Deputy problem in the above link but my knowledge of browser behaviour is non-existent.
If there were certain URIs on Device which required an Authorization header, would that have a definitive effect on the value of the credentials mode specified with the request (even if I assume the Initial Server was likely to be the one specifying the value for that header)? This is of interest, as I believe if include mode is required for these paths, then this would necessitate the addition of a Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header on the CORS Response.
The following diagram is just an overview of the expected interactions. Its assumed the CORS Preflight request is necessary for the resources being retrieved.

Does AWS RDS supports MySQL as document store
#ruiquelhas /Mr. Rui Quelhas seems to suggest there is a way to enable RDS running X-protocol based on the current MySQL RDS setup mentioned by others above.
My existing MySql RDS instance shows disablement of mysqlx.
Using MySql Community RDS 8.0.21 version on Node.Js with mysql/xdevapi 8.0.21.
RDS AWS seems to make mysqlx parameters non-modifiable on initiation of the database as shown.
However, they do allow installation of new plugin by using Mysql statement as shown
So we can't do this setting mysqlx=1 in my MySQL configuration file. Large portion of our application is written with mysqlx, hope someone can show us the workaround? Google SQL doesn't support X Plugin.
Kevin, sorry for the confusion but by the time that answer was written, Amazon RDS was based on a MySQL 5.7.x version, which doesn't come with the X Plugin installed by default. However, it doesn't mean you can't spin up MySQL 8.x and disable the X Plugin altogether, which seems to be the case.
According the Amazon RDS user guide, X Plugin is not supported (that's why it is disabled). If you are looking for an alternative DBaaS, MySQL Database Service on Oracle Cloud is probably the only equivalent alternative that supports it, as far as I can tell.

I have an application for which I am writing tests using pytest to validate the behavior. The application is as follows
+-------------------+
| App under test |
+-------------------+ +------------------+
| external library | | remote endpoint |
| (socket client)-+--->| (socket server) |
+-------------------+ +------------------+
I am writing tests for the "App Under Test". The App imports external library and the socket client is an integral part of external library. I want to mock the remote endpoint and must be able to respond mock data when ever there was a request made and validate the "App Under Test"'s behavior. How to achieve this?
P.S. I am interested in the behavior of "app Under Test". The behavior of the app depends on the data it receives from the socket server. I am NOT interested in the underlying "external library".
How can i set an alert in OMS when a server is powered off or is not available? I have searched on google but the alerts either dont work or too many get sent . I need the alert to be generated as soon as the server goes offline

I have tried restarting the instance. Its still not sending.
First find out if there is any mails stuck in email spool. If it is empty then it is lavarels problem. Otherwise mail is stuck and could be affected by antispam filter. To resolve it fill this form
