CookieManager cm = new CookieManager();
CookieHandler.setDefault(cm);

As far as I know, there isn’t a convenient way to provide a CookieStore to an HttpURLConnection and the programmer has to set values and properties of the HTTP header by himself.
A way to avoid that, is to create an InputStream class which would behave just like FileOutputStream but for HTTP connections.

i.e.

import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpCookie;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;

import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;

public class HttpInputStream extends InputStream {

	private InputStream is;
	private HttpURLConnection conn;
	public final static String USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; fr; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 GTB7.1";
	private int TIMEOUT = 10000;

	public HttpInputStream(URL url, String username, String password, HttpParameters params, List<HttpCookie> cookies) throws IOException {
		openConnection(url, USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC);
		setCookies(cookies);
		authenticate(username, password);
		setParameters(params);
		connect();
	}

	public HttpInputStream(URL url, String username, String password, HttpParameters params) throws IOException {
		openConnection(url, USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC);
		authenticate(username, password);
		setParameters(params);
		connect();
	}

	public HttpInputStream(URL url, HttpParameters params, List<HttpCookie> cookies) throws IOException {
		openConnection(url, USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC);
		setCookies(cookies);
		setParameters(params);
		connect();
	}

	public HttpInputStream(URL url, HttpParameters params) throws IOException {
		openConnection(url, USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC);
		setParameters(params);
		connect();
	}

	public HttpInputStream(URL url, List<HttpCookie> cookies) throws IOException {
		openConnection(url, USERAGENT_FIREFOX_5_MAC);
		setCookies(cookies);
		connect();
	}

	private void authenticate(String username, String password) {
		if (username != null) {
			BASE64Encoder enc = new BASE64Encoder();
			String userpassword = username + ":" + password;
			String encodedAuthorization = enc.encode(userpassword.getBytes());
			conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedAuthorization);
		}
	}

	private void openConnection(URL url, String useragent) throws IOException {
		conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
		if (useragent != null) {
			conn.setRequestProperty("User-agent", useragent);
		}
		conn.setDoOutput(true);
		conn.setReadTimeout(TIMEOUT);
	}
	
	protected void setCookies(List<HttpCookie> cookies) throws IOException {
		if (cookies != null) {
			for (HttpCookie cookie : cookies) {
				if (log.isDebugEnabled())
					log.debug("set cookie");
				conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie.getName() + "=" + cookie.getValue());
			}
		}
	}

	private void setParameters(HttpParameters params) throws IOException {
		if (params != null) {
			conn.setRequestMethod(params.getMethod().toString());
			conn.setDoInput(true);

			if (params.getMethod() == HttpParameters.HttpMethod.POST) {
				conn.setDoOutput(true);
				DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
				wr.writeBytes(params.getEncodedParamaters());
				wr.flush();
				wr.close();
			}
		} else {
			conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
		}
	}

	private void connect() throws IOException {
		conn.connect();
		is = conn.getInputStream();
	}

	@Override
	public int read() throws IOException {
		return is.read();
	}

	@Override
	public void close() throws IOException {
		is.close();
		conn.disconnect();
	}

	@Override
	public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException {
		return is.read(b, off, len);
	}

	@Override
	public int read(byte[] b) throws IOException {
		return is.read(b);
	}
}

The class HttpParameters:

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class HttpParameters {
	protected Map<String, String> params;
	protected HttpMethod method;
	protected String CHARSET = "UTF-8";

	public HttpParameters(HttpMethod method) {
		this.method = method;
		params = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
	}

	public HttpParameters(Map<String, String> params, HttpMethod method) {
		this.params = params;
		this.method = method;
	}

	public void addParameter(String key, String value) {
		params.put(key, value);
	}

	public String getEncodedParamaters() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
		StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
		boolean first = true;
		for (String key : params.keySet()) {
			if (!first) {
				sb.append("&");
			}
			first = false;

			sb.append(URLEncoder.encode(key, CHARSET));
			sb.append("=");
			sb.append(URLEncoder.encode(params.get(key), CHARSET));
		}

		return sb.toString();
	}
	
	public HttpMethod getMethod() {
		return method;
	}

	public void setMethod(HttpMethod method) {
		this.method = method;
	}

	public enum HttpMethod {
		GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
	}
}

Then it is easy to deal with HTTP content, URL and Cookies
i.e

CookieManager cm = new CookieManager();
CookieHandler.setDefault(cm);

// authenticate and get the session cookie
new HttpInputStream(new URL("http://www.foo.com/", "login", "password")).close();

// set parameters
HttpParameters param = new HttpParameters(HttpParameters.HttpMethod.POST);
param.addParameter("param1", "value1");
param.addParameter("param2", "value2");

// download a file using the cookie
InputStream is = new HttpInputStream(new URL("http://www.foo.com/space/doc.pdf", cm.getCookieStore().getCookies()), param);

OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(new File("doc.pdf"));

int read;
while ((read = os.read()) != -1)
	is.write(read);

is.close();
os.close();

et voilà.

It means it allows to extract metadata from unencrypted kindle documents and makes its content searchable.

Anybody interested in the compression API can contact me.

The aim is to implement mobipocket compression used by Kindle devices for opensource Java content management systems such as Alfresco.

The project hasn’t been fully tested and before I make it public on java.net (if I can figure out on how to make a project public), here is the tested algorithm for decompression.

    /**
     * Unpack a mobipocket binary document section.
     * @param data data to extract
     * @param indice last position to extract
     * @return array of unpacked bytes.
     * @throws IOException
     * @author <a href="tgoirand@gmail.com">Thomas Goirand</a>
     */
    byte[] unpack(int[] data, int indice) throws IOException {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        DataOutputStream o = new DataOutputStream(bo);

        int index = 0;

        while (index < indice) {
            int val = data[index];
            index++;
            if (val >= 1 && val <= 8 ) {
                for (int i = index; i < index + val && i < data.length; i++) {
                    o.write((byte) data[i]);
                }
                index += val;
            } else if (val < 128) {
                o.write((byte) val);
            } else if (val >= 192) {

                o.write((byte) (val ^ 128));
            } else {

It’s a pity different players as editors or publishers haven’t agreed yet to use the same rules.

If you subscribe to Le Monde then, it’s not possible to send it periodically to your Kindle account. It’s even not possible to buy “Le Monde” from the Kindle store when you live in the UK whilst it is available in the States (!?) (but not in France).

However, it’s possible if you own the device and a subscription, to build yourself a bridge to send one to the other.

I’ve just done a rather dirty script in Python (actually my first script in Python) which is doing the job.

I’ve always found VDR rather ugly though and being able to plug it to the fabulous software XBMC was not only the oppotunity to keep the engine and hide the UI interface but also adding essential features as Video On Demand (VOD) (youtube or some international programs like the great “Arret sur Images” for French speaking people).

Here an HD video streamed from the Vimeo website:

Restart lirc, xbmc, gdm (or restart the computer).

Configuring XBMC

Use the remote (if REMOTE_DEVICE=”/dev/input/event4″ is correct) to go in the settings and enble addons > PVR > VDR

In Settings > Add-Ons > Installed Add-ons
Select VDR VNSI Client and enable it:

Now select Settings > Live TV (if you haven’t got this menu, something went wrong) and check “enabled”

You should get a new menu in the home window.

Eventually configure everything you want using the XBMC online guide.

Problem:
The local commuter railroad services a number of towns in Kiwiland. Because of monetary concerns, all of the tracks are ‘one-way.’ That is, a route from Kaitaia to Invercargill does not imply the existence of a route from Invercargill to Kaitaia. In fact, even if both of these routes do happen to exist, they are distinct and are not necessarily the same distance!

The purpose of this problem is to help the railroad provide its customers with information about the routes. In particular, you will compute the distance along a certain route, the number of different routes between two towns, and the shortest route between two towns.Input: A directed graph where a node represents a town and an edge represents a route between two towns. The weighting of the edge represents the distance between the two towns. A given route will never appear more than once, and for a given route, the starting and ending town will not be the same town.

Input:
A directed graph where a node represents a town and an edge represents a route between two towns. The weighting of the edge represents the distance between the two towns. A given route will never appear more than once, and for a given route, the starting and ending town will not be the same town.

I started then a program in Java to calculate the routes of the first outputs:

Output:

For test input 1 through 5, if no such route exists, output ‘NO SUCH ROUTE’. Otherwise, follow the route as given; do not make any extra stops!
For example, the first problem means to start at city A, then travel directly to city B (a distance of 5), then directly to city C (a distance of 4).

1. The distance of the route A-B-C.
2. The distance of the route A-D.
3. The distance of the route A-D-C.
4. The distance of the route A-E-B-C-D.
5. The distance of the route A-E-D.
6. The number of trips starting at C and ending at C with a maximum of 3 stops. In the sample data below, there are two such trips: C-D-C (2 stops). and C-E-B-C (3 stops).
7. The number of trips starting at A and ending at C with exactly 4 stops. In the sample data below, there are three such trips: A to C (via B,C,D); A to C (via D,C,D); and A to C (via D,E,B).
8. The length of the shortest route (in terms of distance to travel) from A to C.
9. The length of the shortest route (in terms of distance to travel) from B to B.
10. The number of different routes from C to C with a distance of less than 30. In the sample data, the trips are: CDC, CEBC, CEBCDC, CDCEBC, CDEBC, CEBCEBC, CEBCEBCEBC.

I realized then, I had to program some algorithm in contradiction with the problem details (in red). Very well thought work!

For those who are interested by the source code, it is working fine for all the outputs and can be downloaded on Github:
https://github.com/tgoirand/TRAINS
Unfortunately I don’t think the design is smart and it would might be cleverer to implement an Iterator to generate different routes

Hope it will help!

I’ve created an AMP extension to enable it within Alfresco:

- Download the AMP file from Forge

http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/1043/bsh-console.amp

- Drop de the module in your amps folder and execute ./apply_amps.sh

- Start Alfresco
You’ll find a shell which accepts the beanshell commands:

http://www.beanshell.org/manual/syntax.html#Basic_Syntax

Alfresco Foundation API can be access through the special variable

bsh.system.serviceRegistry e.g.

org.alfresco.service.ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = bsh.system.serviceRegistry;

import java.util.*;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.*;
import org.alfresco.service.namespace.*;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.*;
import org.alfresco.model.*;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.*;
import org.alfresco.util.*;

serviceRegistry.getAuthenticationService().authenticate("admin", "admin".toCharArray()); // need to authenticate

PersonService personService = serviceRegistry.getPersonService();
org.alfresco.util.PropertyMap personProps = new org.alfresco.util.PropertyMap();
personProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, "tom");
personProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, "Thomas");
personProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME, "Goirand");
personProps.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, "tgoirand+blog@gmail.com");

personService.createPerson(personProps);

The user should be created and its properties can be listed using standard Foundation API code

NodeRef person = personService.getPerson("tom");
NodeService nodeService = serviceRegistry.getNodeService();

Map props = nodeService.getProperties(person);
for (Iterator it2 = props.keySet().iterator(); it2.hasNext(); ) {
 QName key = (QName)it2.next();
 print(key + "=>\t" + props.get(key));
}

Known bug: Too many lines pasted into the console can make it freeze

To disable the console, comment out the bean defined in

tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/bshConsole/context/service-context.xml

To install the script (linux/mac only), copy the following content in a file in the same folder than alfresco.sh. You can also download the file on forge: http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=226

Don’t forget to change admin user and password.

set executing permissions and execute it.

A problem You might find a better option to remove duplicate users that remain in the repository than this script (in fixing LDAP issues). This one has been tested against 2.2.5 only but maybe work against 3.* as well.
