Using GIT under HTTP PROXY

If you want to use git command under http proxy, you can use this way:

1. Install socat
   

   $sudo apt-get install socat



2. Create configuration file which match with your proxy server address and port under /bin
   

   #!/bin/sh
   # Use socat to proxy git through an HTTP CONNECT firewall.
   # Useful if you are trying to clone git:// from inside a company.
   # Requires that the proxy allows CONNECT to port 9418.
   #
   # Save this file as gitproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin) and then run
   # chmod +x gitproxy
   # git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
   #
   # More details at http://tinyurl.com/8xvpny
   
   # Configuration. Common proxy ports are 3128, 8123, 8000.
   _proxy=172.17.0.18
   _proxyport=8080
   
   exec socat STDIO PROXY:$_proxy:$1:$2,proxyport=$_proxyport



3. Now git command should work in your network under http proxy
   

   $git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy

Review Dell Streak 5

Hi gadget mania.....aku mo share  niy tentang pengalamanku memakai Dell Streak 5. Dell Streak 5 emang udah diklaim sebagai produk gagal, namun aku justru penasaran kenapa sih dikatakan produk gagal, so sekitar 2 minggu yang lalu aku coba beli Dell Streak 5, dan saat itu emang harganya lagi turun banget. Denger-denger sih produk Dell yang satu ini dikatakan produk gagal karena ukurannya yang nanggung banget, yaitu 5 inch. Ada yang bilang kalo ukuran Dell Streak terjebak di antara smartphone dan Tablet. Aku juga bingung kok dikatakan terjebak, kenapa gak dikatakan telah mengisi segmen pasar gadget baru yaitu segment pasar untuk ukuran layar 5inch. Berikut pendapat aku mengenai Dell Streak 5

Battery  Life

Battery Dell Streak 5 lumayan bagus, untuk pemakain normal (browsing, SMS, melakukan panggilan telp) bisa tahan seharian

Camera

Sejauh ini saya gak suka dengan camera 5 MP yang ada di Dell Streak 5

Custom ROM

Wah ini yang seharusnya temen2 semua pertimbangkan kalo mau beli gadget baru, khususnya gadget Android. Aku bener2 kecewa dengan sedikitnya custom ROM untuk Dell Streak 5 ini.

Processor and Memroy

Emmmm menurutku gak jelek2 amatlah spesifikasi untuk processor dan RAM, RAM 512MB dan processor 1GHz

My Mac feel better with 4GB memory than 8GB

About two months ago I have been decided to upgrade my MacBook Pro memory from 4GB to 8GB. This is the second MacBook Pro ever I have or the seventh notebook for me. In the first day of using MacBook with new memory installed inside, I think my MacBook will work better than before, but I don't feel it till now. The unfortunately, contrary condition has been appeared :(


I have been replaced new memory with the old (original) memory now.

Create web site launcher in Android

In this tutorial we will try to create a simple application to launch specific web address. Like a shortcut, this application will call another android application and launch it, in this case will launch default browser and open specific web address.

We will use the power of Android Intent. Here is example of the code:

package tnto.info.android.sitelauncher;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SiteLauncher extends Activity {

   Intent intent;
    public SiteLauncher(){
		 String webAddress="http://ipb.ac.id";
	     intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
	     intent.setData(Uri.parse(webAddress));
    }
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

startActivity(intent);

finish();
}
}

POST data to server from Android

Today most of application need to communicate with server, in this case client-server architecture is needed. For example facebook client application for Android and iPhone. Both of these application exactly using client-server architecture. There are many protocols for client-server architecture. The most famous protocol is HTTP, in this protocol we can send data using two methods, with POST method or GET method.

In this article we will explore about POST method in android application.

1. First we must declare these objects



HttpClient client=new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost=new HttpPost(LOGIN_ADDRESS);
//LOGIN_ADDRESS is URL string address of login in server, e.g: http://172.17.0.18/login.php



2. Collect data which will be sent in ArrayList



List pairs=new  ArrayList();
String strUsername=username.getText().toString();
String strPassword=password.getText().toString();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", strUsername));
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", strPassword));



3. Call setEntity method from HttpPost object/instance
   

   httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs));
   

   
   


4. Call execute method from HttpPost object/instance
   

   HttpResponse response= client.execute(httpPost);
