Virtually Hosted SSL – almost there
Virtual hosting (hosting multiple sites on the same IP address) became possible with HTTP/1.1 because it declares the “Host” header, which specifies which one of the (possibly) multiple sites hosted on the same IP address you would like to reach (a small side-effect is that when you use the IP address of a site, you…

Windows 7 UI glitch
While reading this post I’ve remembered a quirk of the Windows 7 UI which annoys me to no end: you have to click on a non-empty part of the list to get the item-specific menu, otherwise you will get the folder-specific menu, as shown in the second screenshot: This is in fact consistent with the…
