  Buidling an API with Mojolicious is fun. Below is an attempt at a very small REST API that outpus the time in JSON. There are several pieces:

• Posted Running a non-blocking command in Mojolicious to Brian Medley

  Mojolicious is an awesome framework designed from the ground up to be non-blocking. During web development it is sometimes desirable to run a command and do something with the results. However, with methods such as "system" and "open" the command will block concurrent requests.

• Commented on Real-Time Web Apps
  WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. For example, RTCDataChannel allows for Browser-to-Browser message passing (e.g. chat or file transfer). http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webrtc/basics/ https://gist.github.com/brianmed/6927400...

• Posted Headless Selenium testing with PhantomJS to Brian Medley

  As you know, Selenium is a marvelous library for automating a browser. It can be combined with Test::More and PhantomJS to provide a headless test suite.

  An example script looks like:

  
  #!/opt/perl
  
  use Selenium::Remote::Driver;
  use Selenium::Remote::WDK…

  Thanks for the comment. I should have mentioned that an alternative approach is to have the credentials embedded in the url. However, that does not work in every scenario because some proxies require manual authentication. In addition, I believe the...
• Posted Selenium WebDriver with automated Basic Auth credentials to Brian Medley

  Selenium is a marvelous library for automating browsers. Perl has an interface via Selenium::Remote::Driver. A short script looks like:

  
  use Selenium::Remote::Driver;
  
  my $driver = new Selenium::Remote::Driver;
  $driver->get(‘http://www.google.com’);

  No idea what that is.

• JT Smith commented on Real-Time Web Apps

  That's interesting, but it doesn't have anything to do with the real-time web apps that I was talking about in my slides. At least according to the video, it appears that WebRTC is for peer to peer web apps primarily, and only works in Chrome and Firefox. Caniuse.com confirms this: http://caniuse.com/#feat=rtcpeerconnection

  Anyway, back to your original question, I didn't include it because I didn't know about it.

• Timm Murray commented on Real-Time Web Apps

  I'm thinking that WebRTC might replace the cloud hosting services that don't have any server-side storage, provided that peers have a way to discover each other.

• Mithaldu commented on Fetch me a cloud

  The templates seem to act a bit oddly:

  c:\Users\Mithaldu\AppData\Local\Temp\ttr0\C\Users\Mithaldu\AppData\Local\Temp\pdk-Mithaldu-331184\includes\templates\index\

  It also reacts quite badly to accessing unknown urls:

• Perl User commented on Selenium WebDriver with automated Basic Auth credentials

  Hi,

  I am working on an application which requires Windows authentication. But I am unable to enter the credentials using any method in perl.
  I am using perl + Selenium Webdriver.
  Further, http://user1:user1@testwebsite.com , this method is also not working in my case.

  I am trying the code mentioned in the blog, can you please let me know what will be the values for WshArgs , WScript. what are these variables and from where the value is coming.

  Thanks in advance!!!
