Re: [Newbies] Are the arguments of a URL encrypted when you make an HTTPS connection?

2009-03-14 Thread Kyle Hamilton
TLS is negotiated on the channel before any data is sent on the channel (RFC 2818). Other protocols, most notably ESMTP, use a STARTTLS mechanism to negotiate the initiation of the TLS encryption. "Security through obscurity" isn't secure. If nothing else, remember that the client machine is out

Re: [Newbies] Generating a predictable 'atRandom' result for testing

2007-08-12 Thread Kyle Hamilton
If you can test it for lack-of-randomness, I would presume that you're not trying to test the randomness. I would create a wrapper to 'get number' -- if the test harness is loaded and a flag is set, have that wrapper return an entry from an array or such, and if not, use atRandom. -Kyle H

Re: [Newbies] Do I need to close a FileStream?

2007-03-24 Thread Kyle Hamilton
The underlying OS has only a certain number of file handles that it can maintain open at a time. On UNIX-like systems, there is also possibly a maximum number of files per process. If this limit is hit, then no additional files can be opened, and on any attempt to do so an error is returned. -K
