Alternatives to Java Applet running with NPAPI in Chrome -

-

we have applet used zip files on client machine , stream content our servers. our clients have updated newer versions of chrome no longer able use our applet because chrome not support npapi plugins longer. think have couple of options:

  1. to somehow make existing applet work chrome (perhaps using jnlp? ) or other method
  2. to find alternative technology altogether

the solution has able receive list of folders, sub-folders , file names. has able compress these files, if possible, upload them server. open suggestions.

you can

  • read file(s) file api, potentially letting user add them interface via drag , drop (for more convenient selection mechanism boring <input type="file"> :-) ).

  • zip them in javascript using library jszip (though if server has gzip enabled, i'm not sure gain lot doing that; haven't looked deeply, though)

  • send them server either via http post (possibly multiple posts), or using xmlhttprequest2, or via web sockets.

of course, other alternative continue use java , have users use firefox instead of chrome. beware mozilla looking make move away npapi , away supporting java. 20 months ago they weren't:

there no plans of dropping support java or other npapi plugins in firefox other setting them "ask activate": https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/02/28/update-on-plugin-activation/

....but now:

mozilla intends remove support npapi plugins in firefox end of 2016. firefox began process several years ago...

(which puts lie "no plans" in first quote)

...websites , publishers use plugins such silverlight or java should accelerate transition web technologies.

apache - Error with PHP mail(): Multiple or malformed newlines found in additional_header -

-
suddenly have started receiving above error without changes having been made script. host 1and1 (i know...) the script still works fine on different server, , suspicion there must have been server config change has lead this, although hosts plead ignorance. there's no information on above error @ in google can find - have ideas? server running apache if helps. had similar problem. came out of blue. no php code changed. what changed: php upgraded 5.5.25-1 5.5.26. a security risk in php mail() function has been fixed , newlines in additional_headers allowed no more. because newlines mean: starts email message (and surely don't want inject newlines through headers followed evil message). what have worked fine, e.g. having newlines after headers or passing whole message additional_headers , function no more. solution : sanitize headers. no multiple newlines in additional_headers argument. these count "multiple or malformed newlines":...
