I&#39;m working on a webapp where users can login to see their online wine cellar.

I&#39;ve got the Django REST models setup, as well as the front-end design in Angular but I&#39;m having trouble putting the pieces together and my main issue is for user authentication.

I&#39;ve read many posts on here and various tutorials but I can&#39;t seem to find a step by step method to implement authentication:

 - What kind of auth should be used (Token, Session, Other?)
 - How is authentication managed on the server side (is it a view? a method in the UserModel or UserManager?)
 - I have a custom User model (using email as username). Can I use the generic Django login method or do I need to create my own?
 - How is the authentication process managed between the server and client side? 

From what I understand Angular makes a POST request on a url where DRF verifies that username and password match and returns a token or other auth proof.

I feel like I&#39;m close but I need a more general view of how this works to put the pieces together.

Thanks in advance

What is the difference between `=`, `==` and `-eq` in shell scripting?  

Is there any difference between the following?

```
[ $a = $b ]
[ $a == $b ]
[ $a -eq $b ]
```

Is it simply that `=` and `==` are only used when the variables contain numbers?


Shell equality operators (=, ==, -eq)

What is the difference between the `&amp;&amp;`, `||`, `-a`, and `-o` Unix operators?

What are the restrictions on the usage of both types?

Is it simply that the `&amp;&amp;` and `||` operators should be used when using flags in the condition?

As in:

    [ &quot;$1&quot; = &quot;yes&quot; ] &amp;&amp; [ -r $2.txt ]

versus:

    [ &quot;$1&quot; = &quot;yes&quot; -a $2 -lt 3 ]

In shell I have a requirement wherein I have to read the JSON response which is in the following format:

Read JSON data in a shell script

I need to execute part of a bash script as a different user, and inside that user&#39;s `$HOME` directory. However, I&#39;m not sure how to determine this variable. Switching to that user and calling `$HOME` does not provide the correct location:

    # running script as root, but switching to a different user...
    su - $different_user
    echo $HOME
    # returns /root/ but should be /home/myuser

### Update:

It appears that the issue is with the way that I am trying to switch users in my script:

    $different_user=deploy

    # create user
    useradd -m -s /bin/bash $different_user

    echo &quot;Current user: `whoami`&quot;
    # Current user: root
    
    echo &quot;Switching user to $different_user&quot;
    # Switching user to deploy
    
    su - $different_user
    echo &quot;Current user: `whoami`&quot;
    # Current user: root
    echo &quot;Current user: `id`&quot;
    # Current user: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
    
    sudo su $different_user
    # Current user: root
    # Current user: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

What is the correct way to switch users and execute commands as a different user in a bash script?

I have a question regarding URLs:

I&#39;ve read the [RFC 3986][1] and still have a question about one URL:

&gt; If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component   
&gt; must either be empty or begin with a slash (&quot;/&quot;) character.  If a URI 
&gt; does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin   
&gt; with two slash characters (&quot;//&quot;).  In addition, a URI reference   
&gt; (Section 4.1) may be a relative-path reference, in which case the   
&gt; first path segment cannot contain a colon (&quot;:&quot;) character.  The ABNF  
&gt; requires five separate rules to disambiguate these cases, only one of 
&gt; which will match the path substring within a given URI reference.  We 
&gt; use the generic term &quot;path component&quot; to describe the URI substring   
&gt; matched by the parser to one of these rules.

I know, that `//server.com:80/path/info` is valid (it is a schema relative URL)

I also know that `http://server.com:80/path//info` is valid.

But I am not sure whether the following one is valid:

    http://server.com:80//path/info

The problem behind my question is, that a cookie is not sent to `http://server.com:80//path/info`, when created by the URI `http://server.com:80/path/info` with restriction to `/path`

Is a URL with // in the path-section valid?

How should I update the address bar URL with a changing query parameter using AngularJS&#39; ui-router to maintain state when refreshing the page?

Currently, I am using `$state.transitionTo(&#39;search&#39;, {q: &#39;updated search term&#39;})` whenever input changes, but the problem is that this reloads the controller, redraws the window and loses any text input focus.

Is there a way to update stateParams and sync it to the window URL?

In Flask, when I have several routes for the same function,
how can I know which route is used at the moment?

For example:

    @app.route(&quot;/antitop/&quot;)
    @app.route(&quot;/top/&quot;)
    @requires_auth
    def show_top():
        ....

How can I know, that now route was called using `/top/` or `/antitop/`?

**UPDATE**

I know about `request.path` I don&#39;t want use it, because the request can be rather complex, and I want repeat the routing logic in the function. I think that the solution with `url_rule` it the best one.

Flask: get current route

Is there a way to parse a URL (with some python library) and return a python dictionary with the keys and values of a query parameters part of the URL?

For example:

    url = &quot;http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&amp;op=92&amp;item=98&quot;

expected return:

    {&#39;ct&#39;:32, &#39;op&#39;:92, &#39;item&#39;:98}



URL query parameters to dict python

I am trying to use python to change the hostname in a url, and have been playing around with the urlparse module for a while now without finding a satisfactory solution. As an example, consider the url:

https://www.google.dk:80/barbaz

I would like to replace &quot;www.google.dk&quot; with e.g. &quot;www.foo.dk&quot;, so I get the following url:

https://www.foo.dk:80/barbaz. 

So the part I want to replace is what urlparse.urlsplit refers to as hostname. I had hoped that the result of urlsplit would let me make changes, but the resulting type ParseResult doesn&#39;t allow me to. If nothing else I can of course reconstruct the new url by appending all the parts together with +, but this would leave me with some quite ugly code with a lot of conditionals to get &quot;://&quot; and &quot;:&quot; in the correct places.

I read some documentation saying that *&quot;To fix this, you need to tell setup.py what SSL backend is used&quot;* [(source)](https://github.com/pycurl/pycurl) although I am not sure how to do this since I installed pycurl using pip.

How can I specify the SSL backend when installing pycurl with pip?

Thanks

SSL backend error when using OpenSSL

Whilst trying to setup a php environment on windows (using wamp) to use the Amazon PHP SDK, when i try to run a sample test I get the following error:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception &#39;cURL_Exception&#39; with message &#39;cURL resource: Resource id #10; cURL error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (cURL error code 60). See http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html for an explanation of error codes.&#39; in C:\wamp\www\AWSSDKforPHP\lib\requestcore\requestcore.class.php on line 848

I have already added the following line to my php.ini

    curl.cainfo = C:\Windows\ca-bundle.crt

which is the location of a certificate i created using this VBS script 
[VBS-Script][1]

I have restarted my WAMP service also.

PHP cURL error code 60

I try to send curl request with my correct APP_ID, APP_SECRET etc. to the

      https://oauth.vk.com/access_token?client_id=APP_ID&amp;client_secret=APP_SECRET&amp;code=7a6fa4dff77a228eeda56603b8f53806c883f011c40b72630bb50df056f6479e52a&amp;redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI 

I need to get access_token from it, but get a FALSE and `curl_error()` print next message otherwise:

    60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

My code is:

        // create curl resource
        $ch = curl_init();

        // set url
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        //return the transfer as a string
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

        // $output contains the output string
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        if ( ! $output) {
            print curl_errno($ch) .&#39;: &#39;. curl_error($ch);
        }
        
        // close curl resource to free up system resources
        curl_close($ch);
        
        return $output;

When I move manually to the link above, I get access_token well. Why it doesn&#39;t work with curl? Help, please.

Curl error 60, SSL certificate issue: self signed certificate in certificate chain

The [HTTP standard][1] says:

&gt; If this header [Content-Disposition: attachment] is used in a response
&gt; with the application/octet-stream content-type, the implied
&gt; suggestion is that the user agent should not display the response, but
&gt; directly enter a `save response as...&#39; dialog.

I read that as

    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Content-Disposition: attachment

But I would have thought that `Content-Type` would be `application/pdf`, `image/png`, etc.

Should I have `Content-Type: application/octet-stream` if I want browsers to download the file?

Do I need Content-Type: application/octet-stream for file download?

i have a file downloader function:

            HttpClientHandler aHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
            aHandler.ClientCertificateOptions = ClientCertificateOption.Automatic;
            HttpClient aClient = new HttpClient(aHandler);
            aClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.ExpectContinue = false;
            HttpResponseMessage response = await aClient.GetAsync(url);
            InMemoryRandomAccessStream randomAccessStream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();

            // To save downloaded image to local storage
            var imageFile = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync(
            filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
            var fs = await imageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
            DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(fs.GetOutputStreamAt(0));

            writer.WriteBytes(await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync());

            await writer.StoreAsync();
            //current.image.SetSource(randomAccessStream);
            writer.DetachStream();
            await fs.FlushAsync();

How can i realize progress bar functionality?
Maybe i can get the writers bytes written so far? Or something?

**P.S. I cant use DownloadOperation(Background transferring) because data from server requests certificate - and this functionality doesn&#39;t exist in DownloadOperations.**

I want to send an  &quot;ajax download request&quot; when I click on a button, so I tried in this way:

javascript:

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open(&quot;GET&quot;, &quot;download.php&quot;);
    xhr.send();

download.php:

    &lt;?
    header(&quot;Cache-Control: public&quot;);
    header(&quot;Content-Description: File Transfer&quot;);
    header(&quot;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= file.txt&quot;);
    header(&quot;Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary&quot;);    
    readfile(&quot;file.txt&quot;);
    ?&gt;
but doesn&#39;t work as expected, how can I do ? Thank you in advance

download file using an ajax request

When I try downloading a file from my server onto my computer, it actually downloads the file onto the server.

(Note I am already SSH&#39;d into my server before typing this command. I&#39;ve watched tutorials on YouTube and people are using their terminal without SSHing into any particular server, however I don&#39;t think I can do this with PuTTY on Windows?)

    scp -r -P2222 kwazy@mywebsite.com:/home2/kwazy/www/utrecht-connected.nl ~/Desktop/

The problem is that I am specifying the location to download the file as only `~/Desktop/`

This creates a folder called `Desktop` in my server, instead of copying the files onto my local desktop.

I&#39;d greatly appreciate any assistance.

---

Update:

I am able to use this command on Linux. 

I have successfully download the folder onto my desktop:

I still need insight onto how I can do this on a Windows machine.

How to download a file from my server using SSH (using PuTTY on Windows)

My goal:

Display a dialog box prompting the user to save a file being downloaded from aws.

My problem:

I am currently using awssum-amazon-s3 to create a download stream. However I&#39;ve only managed to save the file to my server or stream it to the command line... As you can see from my code my last attempt was to try and manually set the content disposition headers which failed. I cannot use res.download() as the headers have already been set?

How can I achieve my goal?

My code for node:

    app.post(&#39;/dls/:dlKey&#39;, function(req, res, next){
    		// download the file via aws s3 here
    		var dlKey = req.param(&#39;dlKey&#39;);
    
    		Dl.findOne({key:dlKey}, function(err, dl){
    			if (err) return next(err);
    			var files = dl.dlFile;
    
    			var options = {
    				BucketName    : &#39;xxxx&#39;,
    				ObjectName    : files,
    			};
    
    			s3.GetObject(options, { stream : true }, function(err, data) {
    				// stream this file to stdout
    				fmt.sep();
    				data.Headers[&#39;Content-Disposition&#39;] = &#39;attachment&#39;;
    				console.log(data.Headers);
    				data.Stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(&#39;test.pdf&#39;));
    				data.Stream.on(&#39;end&#39;, function() {
    					console.log(&#39;File Downloaded!&#39;);
    				});
    			});
    		});
    
    		res.end(&#39;Successful Download Post!&#39;);
    	});

My code for angular:

    $scope.dlComplete = function (dl) {
            $scope.procDownload = true;
            $http({
                method: &#39;POST&#39;,
                url: &#39;/dls/&#39; + dl.dlKey
            }).success(function(data/*, status, headers, config*/) {
                console.log(data);
                $location.path(&#39;/#!/success&#39;);
            }).error(function(/*data, status, headers, config*/) {
                console.log(&#39;File download failed!&#39;);
            });
        };

The purpose of this code it to let users use a generated key to download a file once.

Calling curl without parameters, i get the page output, even with an http status code = 404:

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;404.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;ins&gt;That’s an error.&lt;/ins&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;The requested URL &lt;code&gt;/linux&lt;/code&gt; was not found on this server.  &lt;ins&gt;That’s all we know.&lt;/ins&gt;
    
    $ echo $?;
    0

The status code is 0.

Calling it with --fail will not show the output:

    $ curl --fail http://www.google.com/linux;
    curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
    
    $ echo $?;
    22

The status code is 22 now ...

Id&#39; like to get the output even when http status = 404, 500 (like the first curl execution) and, at the same time, get a different system error (like in the second curl execution, $? = 22).
Is it possible with curl? If not, how could I achieve this with another tool (this tool must accept file uploads e post data! wget doesn&#39;t seems to be an alternative ...)

Thanks.

Get page output with curl --fail

There is an online HTTP directory that I have access to. I have tried to download all sub-directories and files via `wget`. But, the problem is that when `wget` downloads sub-directories it downloads the `index.html` file which contains the list of files in that directory without downloading the files themselves.

Is there a way to download the sub-directories and files without depth limit (as if the directory I want to download is just a folder which I want to copy to my computer).

How to download HTTP directory with all files and sub-directories as they appear on the online files/folders list?

I&#39;m trying to create a Python function that does the same thing as this wget command:

    wget -c --read-timeout=5 --tries=0 &quot;$URL&quot;

`-c` - Continue from where you left off if the download is interrupted.

`--read-timeout=5` - If there is no new data coming in for over 5 seconds, give up and try again.  Given `-c` this mean it will try again from where it left off.

`--tries=0` - Retry forever.

Those three arguments used in tandem results in a download that cannot fail.

**I want to duplicate those features in my Python script, but I don&#39;t know where to begin...**

I&#39;m trying to download a file from google drive in a script, and I&#39;m having a little trouble doing so. The files I&#39;m trying to download are [here](https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz-w5tutuZIYeHJTWjR5WW1pa1E&amp;usp=sharing).

I&#39;ve looked online extensively and I finally managed to get one of them to download. I got the UIDs of the files and the smaller one (1.6MB) downloads fine, however the larger file (3.7GB) always redirects to a page which asks me whether I want to proceed with the download without a virus scan. Could someone help me get past that screen?

Here&#39;s how I got the first file working - 

    curl -L &quot;https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bz-w5tutuZIYeDU0VDRFWG9IVUE&quot; &gt; phlat-1.0.tar.gz

When I run the same on the other file, 

    curl -L &quot;https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bz-w5tutuZIYY3h5YlMzTjhnbGM&quot; &gt; index4phlat.tar.gz

I get the the following output -
[![enter image description here][1]][1]

I notice on the third-to-last line in the link, there a `&amp;confirm=JwkK` which is a random 4 character string but suggests there&#39;s a way to add a confirmation to my URL. One of the links I visited suggested `&amp;confirm=no_antivirus` but that&#39;s not working.

I hope someone here can help with this!

I want to get the content from [this][1] website. 

If I use a browser like Firefox or Chrome I could get the real website page I want, but if I use the Python requests package (or `wget` command) to get it, it returns a totally different HTML page. 

I thought the developer of the website had made some blocks for this.
