I asked this to Github admins, and they told me that &quot;it is not possible&quot; to change headers. They added this issue to wishlist.


The answer is no, however we can stimulate html header on html pages using `&lt;meta http-equiv&gt;` tag.


    &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;last-modified&quot; content=&quot;Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:00:46 GMT &quot; /&gt;
    &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;cache-control&quot; content=&quot;Private&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Expires&quot; content=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;
    

You can embed these snippets into the HTML page.


This is for all the people still having this problem and coming here from google.

Had the same problem recently. Actually it is possible if you are stubborn enough and wish to use some extra, third party services. What you need to do, is to use free tier heroku app with custom nginx buildpack. This buildpack would work as a proxy pass, which can add/remove HTTP headers as you please. 

You will lose GitHub CDN though, so it may be good idea to leverage another service - cloudflare to do just that (and SSL as a bonus).

I wrote an article with detailed setup how to do this, if somebody is intereseted: https://www.rzegocki.pl/blog/custom-http-headers-with-github-pages/ - the setup is pretty cumbersome but it works.

It&#39;s currently not possible in Github Pages. You can use Github with [Netlify][1]. They let you change headers. They also have nice features like forms, prerendering and more. Which all are missing in Github Pages.

I know, we can not rename a column using `modify column syntax`,but can `change column syntax`.

My question is: what is the main usage of `modify syntax`?

For example,&lt;br /&gt;

    alter table tablename change col1 col1 int(10) not null
instead of 

    alter table tablename modify col1 int(10) not null

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I serve some of my files from my Github pages account. But when I check my &quot;js&quot; files&#39; headers, I saw following:

    Last-Modified:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:00:46 GMT 
    Expires:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:13:23 GMT
    Cache-Control:max-age=600


This file was commited 14 days ago. But I don&#39;t plan these files so frequent. So I need to make much bigger max-age value and change Last-Modified value to last commited date.

I&#39;m curious why GitHub calls submissions to merge, &quot;Pull requests.&quot;

From my understanding, `git pull` will pull all changes, from a remote repository, into a current working branch.  Then merge those changes with `FETCH_HEAD`. ([Git Pull][1])

So taking a look at `git push`... a push would actually push committed changes to a repository.  And isn&#39;t that what you are doing with a Git repo?  Submitting a &quot;request&quot; to merge your code? So why isn&#39;t it called a &quot;Push request&quot;?

Here are steps of code contribution from the topic &quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4384776/how-do-i-contribute-to-others-code-in-github&quot;

 1. Fork the project
 2. Make one or more well commented and clean commits to the repository. You can make a new branch here if you are modifying more than one part or feature.
 3. Perform a pull request in github&#39;s web interface.

Is it possible to make a pull request without forking a repo?

It&#39;s quite sad to see more than 20 repos in my account which were forked for some pull requests. They have no activity then and zero stars / followers. Looks like I&#39;m just copying somebody&#39;s code for a black day.

How to submit a pull request from an existing locally-cloned repo?

Often,  I want to look at some libraries source code from github, so I clone it. Later, I discover some issue with the code and raise it on a mailing list, often in passing. The library author says &quot;nice find, can you send a pull request?&quot;.

And the answer is &quot;not that easily&quot;. I haven&#39;t forked the repo yet, Ive cloned it. And there doesn&#39;t seem a way I can find to submit a pull request from a cloned repo?

If this limit is true, it feels like the sensible reaction is to fork anything and everything you ever look at, just so that if you ever might want to contribute, you can. And that fills up your github account with many inactive forks. 

Doesn&#39;t seem a lot of talk about this issue - am I the only person whom this problem affects?

I am a novice to angular.js, and I am trying to add some headers to a request:

       var config = {headers: {
                &#39;Authorization&#39;: &#39;Basic d2VudHdvcnRobWFuOkNoYW5nZV9tZQ==&#39;,
                &#39;Accept&#39;: &#39;application/json;odata=verbose&#39;
            }
        };

       $http.get(&#39;https://www.example.com/ApplicationData.svc/Malls(1)/Retailers&#39;, config).success(successCallback).error(errorCallback);

I&#39;ve looked at all the documentation, and this seems to me like it should be correct.

When I use a local file for the URL in the `$http.get`, I see the following HTTP request on the network tab in Chrome:

    GET /app/data/offers.json HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.example.com
    Connection: keep-alive
    Cache-Control: max-age=0
    If-None-Match: &quot;0f0abc9026855b5938797878a03e6889&quot;
    Authorization: Basic Y2hhZHN0b25lbWFuOkNoYW5nZV9tZQ==
    Accept: application/json;odata=verbose
    X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
    If-Modified-Since: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:58:55 GMT
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.172 Safari/537.22
    X-Testing: Testing
    Referer: http://www.example.com/app/index.html
    Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
    Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8
    Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

As you can see, both of the headers were added correctly. But when I change the URL to the one shown in the `$http.get` above (except using the real address, not example.com), then I get:

    OPTIONS /ApplicationData.svc/Malls(1) HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.datahost.net
    Connection: keep-alive
    Access-Control-Request-Method: GET
    Origin: http://mpon.site44.com
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.172 Safari/537.22
    Access-Control-Request-Headers: accept, origin, x-requested-with, authorization, x-testing
    Accept: */*
    Referer: http://mpon.site44.com/app/index.html
    Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
    Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8
    Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

The only difference in code between these two is one is for the first the URL is a local file, and for the second the URL is a remote server. If you look at the second Request header, there is no Authentication header, and the `Accept` appears to be using a default instead of the one specified. Also, the first line now says `OPTIONS` instead of `GET` (although `Access-Control-Request-Method` is `GET`).

Any idea what is wrong with the above code, or how to get the additional headers included using when not using a local file as a data source?

Adding a custom header to HTTP request using angular.js

I&#39;m building an analytic tool and I can currently get the user&#39;s IP address, browser and operating system from their user agent.

I&#39;m wondering if there is a possibility to detect the same user without using cookies or local storage? I&#39;m not expecting code examples here; just a simple hint of where to look further.

Forgot to mention that it would need to be cross-browser compatible if it&#39;s the same computer/device. Basically I&#39;m after device recognition not really the user.

Is the `Content-Length` header required for a HTTP/1.0 response? The HTTP spec mentions that it is required for the request, but doesn&#39;t mention anything about the response:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#Content-Length

&gt; A valid Content-Length field value is required on all HTTP/1.0
&gt; request messages containing an entity body.

If it is not required for the response, how does the client read the response when it&#39;s larger than 1MB?


Is the Content-Length header required for a HTTP/1.0 response?

I have a back-end server written in asp.net mvc using Forms Authentication. When the user is not authenticated, the server will automatically send a 302 redirect to a Login action and return a Login page.

On client side, I have a list of items. This list is only accessible to authenticated users. On the page, I have a button to Refresh the list using Ajax ($.ajax function of jQuery). 

Now, my problem is when the authentication ticket is timeout and the user clicks on the Refresh button:

- My function sends an ajax request to get the refreshed list
- The server detects that the authentication ticket is not valid and issues a 302 redirect.
- The browser **automatically** handles that 302 response and forces my ajax function to send another ajax request to the Login action and the final result is an HTML with status 200. My script is confused because the list is also an HTML with status 200.

What I want is when the authentication ticket is timeout and the user clicks on the Refresh button, I should be able to detect that and display a message asking the user to Login. 

I tried to workaround this by adding a custom header (IS_LOGIN) in the Login action and check that in my ajax response. But it is not a good solution.

So my questions are:

- What is the best way to deal with this problem?
- Why does the browser not let our script handle 302 response? and just automatically forces our ajax to create another request. This is a problem with the browser or jquery library? Any reasons for this? (security,...) 

Thanks for any replies.

Cannot handle 302 redirect in ajax and why?

I have a project together with several people and we have a `README.md` file with a bunch of GitHub Flavored Markdown that is rendered on our GitHub page. We also set up a GitHub Pages branch which is hosted under our GitHub Organization&#39;s subdomain, and used the [**Automatic Page Generator**][1] simply loading in our `README.md` file when we created our page. However, I notice that when I update our `README.md` file, it does not update the project page. Instead, we must go to the GitHub settings tab and recreate the project page, reloading the `README.md` file when we do it. 

Also, after reading about [**relative linking**][2] working between documentation files on the GitHub project directory pages. I very much like the markdown as it saves tons of time from having to write all the HTML out by hand for our documentation. What I would like however is to be able to have one `README.md` file which is able to include relative links to other documentation files located at `docs/*.md`. I was hoping there was an easy solution so that my other documentation files might also be included in my gh-pages branch and be hosted under my GitHub Pages subdomain and be rendered and/or themed.

In other words, my questions are:

* Is there a way to have my README.md file automatically update on my Github Page subdomain?
 - **[ EDIT ] :** No appears to be the answer if using the Automatic Page Generator. You must go to the settings page for the repo and reload it every time there is a change in order to update it.  
&amp;nbsp;
* Is there a way I can have my relative links to my documentation on my README.md file work on my Github Pages, perhaps my somehow syncing my `/docs/*.md` to my Github Pages and somehow rendering and/or theming them?
 - **[ EDIT ] :** From what I&#39;ve learned since writing this question it appears that this is only possible on GitHub pages through the use of a [**static site generator**][3] like the ruby gem [**Jekyll**][4] and probably some uses of the [**webhooks supported by GitHub**][5] that are mentioned in the comments below. I am trying currently trying to find an optimal solution.  
&amp;nbsp;
* Better yet, is there an even easier way I can do this and perhaps have just one copy of my README.md and documentation that is used on both gh-pages and my main branch and makes everything easiest?
 - **[ EDIT ] :** It seems this one is almost definitely a no. I was thinking about the possibility of something built into GitHub to allow this. It seems that better support for this kind of thing may could be built into GitHub Pages in the future, or at least I definitely hope it will be.
