re: Scraping Secure HTTPS Sites (Updates for .NET 2.0 Framework)

In problem 1 there is mention of a UserName and Password. The site I'm trying to scrape also has a Username and password to get into the site. Is this the same? Or is the elements used for the certificate only?

Yep, SVN needs shelved checkins.

In regards to unlearning if you've done the unlearning necessary to grok TDD then you'll be fine with Silverlight.

The verbiage changes again when you switch to Git :) The important thing is to continue choosing the best possible tools and accept that the learning curve is infinite.

I had my epiphany while reading "Windows Presetation Foundation Unleashed" by Adam Nathan.

Great book

For what it's worth, the initial version of silverlight was really only targetted at big streaming media sites (ie..streaming video). The thought was to ship something really small and get it running on some big, high traffic sites (ie..mlb.com for video). This kicks the end-user adoption cycle into high gear while the bells and whistles are built for business app developers. When our tools are ready to go, they will already have some type of installed userbase in the wild.

Or so it was explained in a Channel 9 video. :-)

May I refer you to zen story number 1 from "101 Zen Stories":

A Cup of Tea

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

I noticed that right after I postd it. I went back and fixed it. So hope it looks better now that I cleaned it up.

Nice article Rod.

P.S. Somehow it got messed up into a wall of text - without any paragraphs in the RSS (Google Reader) :-(
