Using Perl and Regular Expressions to Process HTML Files - Part 1
by John Dixon | August 16, 2007 |
|
Like many web content authors, over the past few years I've had many occasions when I've needed to clean up a bunch of HTML files that have been generated by a word processor or publishing package. Initially, I used to clean up the files manually, opening each one in turn, and making the same set of updates to each one. This works fine when you only have a few files to fix, but when you have hundreds or even thousands to do, you can very quickly be looking at weeks or even months of work. A few years ago someone put me on to the idea of using Perl and regular expressions to perform this 'cleaning up' process. |

Submitting Secure Information from Unsecured Pages
by Lew Newlin | February 20, 2007 |
|
Using SSL encryption to secure information is server and client processor intensive, not to mention that the process can significantly slow the presentation of pages to your visitors. Not surprisingly, some webmasters have instituted an underhanded method to avoid the entire problem by placing sensitive information such as login/password inputs on home pages that are not SSL encrypted. The general programming concept seems to be that since the login/password information is being submitted to a HTTPS encrypted page, the data secure. Well not so fast.
