A library for working with URLs.

Language packs for Firefox

Get the contents of an http url and dumps it to stdout. supports ipv6 and https (SSL). A useful tool. :)

http_load runs multiple http fetches in parallel, to test the throughput of a web server. However unlike most such test clients, it runs in a single process, so it doesn't bog down the client machine. It can be configured to do https fetches as well.

Http_post does a POST operation and dumps the results to stdout. This supports ipv6 and https (SSL).

MimeTeX, licensed under the GPL, lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html pages. It parses a LaTeX math expression and immediately emits the corresponding gif image, rather than the usual TeX dvi. And mimeTeX is an entirely separate little program that doesn't use TeX or its fonts in any way. It's just one cgi that you put in your site's cgi-bin/ directory, with no other dependencies. It's easy to use. Just place an html <img> tag in your document wherever you want to see the corresponding LaTeX expression.

mini_httpd is a small HTTP server. Its performance is not great, but for low or medium traffic sites it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including: - GET, HEAD, and POST methods - CGI and basic authentication support - Security against ".." filename snooping - The common MIME types - Trailing-slash redirection - index.html, index.htm, index.cgi - Directory listings - Multihoming (virtual hosting) - Standard logging - Custom error pages It can also be configured to do SSL/HTTPS and IPv6.

Jesred is a very fast and highly configurable redirector for the Squid Internet Object Cache. It was derived from Chris Foote's and Wayne Piekarski's Squirm 1.0 betaB and some code from Squid itself, but is about 2-3x faster than the original version and has some additional features.

mod_auth_mysql provides an MySQL-based authentication for apache2. It's also designed to support multiple virtualhosts using only one database.

mod_dosevasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive action in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack. It is also designed to be a detection and network management tool, and can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera. mod_dosevasive presently reports abuses via email and syslog facilities. Detection is performed by creating an internal dynamic hash table of IP Addresses and URIs, and denying any single IP address from any of the following: * Requesting the same page more than a few times per second * Making more than 50 concurrent requests on the same child per second * Making any requests while temporarily blacklisted (on a blocking list) This method has worked well in both single-server script attacks as well as distributed attacks, but just like other evasive tools, is only as useful to the point of bandwidth and processor consumption (e.g. the amount of bandwidth and processor required to receive/process/respond to invalid requests), which is why it's a good idea to integrate this with your firewalls and routers for maximum protection. This module instantiates for each listener individually, and therefore has a built-in cleanup mechanism and scaling capabilities. Because of this per-child design, legitimate requests are never compromised (even from proxies and NAT addresses) but only scripted attacks. Even a user repeatedly clicking on 'reload' should not be affected unless they do it maliciously. mod_dosevasive is fully tweakable through the Apache configuration file, easy to incorporate into your web server, and easy to use.
