Force HTTPS SSL Access for a URL with Apache 8
The situation is: you have an web application or URL that you would like to force your users (or yourself) to use the secure https protocol rather than the unencrypted http protocol. This is easy to do with Apache and .htaccess. Create or add to the .htaccess file in the root of the web directory you would like to force redirect for. Add the following lines: 123RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} This says that if https is off, reload the page at the same location using HTTPS instead.

Your Personal Secured Network using Hamachi Comments Off
I’ve been using the VPN Software Hamachi for several years now and thought I would share my experiences with it. Previous to being purchased by LogMeIn, Hamachi was a smaller company which designed this great software. It is now offered in 2 versions, the free “Basic” version and the paid “Premium” version. The premium version is currently around 3.25-4.95 a month, depending on how many licenses you need and how much you pre-pay. The free version gives you basic VPN connectivity and allows you to control smaller networks which is great for your own personal secured network. There are some pretty cool features in the “Premium” version – to see all of them click here. The idea is that you install Hamachi on each of your PCs which you would like to connect to your VPN. In my case, I have my Home PC, my home File Server, my Work….

Fixing PIE Proxy Settings Comments Off
If you can access the internet fine using PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) on your Windows Mobile device over Edge or 3G, but when you switch to Wifi Internet Explorer always times out (It says “Loading…”) – then you are probably dealing with the dreaded “hard coded proxy” problem. In this situation you have Wifi wireless enabled and Opera and other internet applications work fine – but PIE will not work. The issue is that PIE is trying to connect to the internet via a proxy, however if you are using WiFi there is no need for this and the proxy server can not identify you since you are not on AT&T’s (Cingular’s) network. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] The default setting that forces the proxy to be used is: 1"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000 Change to: 1"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001 Do a soft reset on your device and PIE should now be able to access the internet again!

YouTube Mobile on Windows Mobile 6 1
Windows Mobile 5 did not seem to have an easy way to have YouTube mobile videos (3gp files streaming over rtsp protocol) play to your phone. However with Windows Mobile 6 Professional and HTC’s “StreamingPlayer” software – playing YouTube Mobile videos, at least through PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) is easy. If you don’t have HTC’s StreamingPlayer – check here. After installing the software, you may also need to modify your registry in order to allow rtsp streams to be opened by the player. Here is a link to the registry entries you need to make – again courtesy of XDA-Developer’s forum. Save the above text to a .reg file, and import to your device (for example, using RegEdit for WM6) Hopefully if all went well – when you visit http://m.youtube.com, and click play video, the HTC player will launch and play the video. After the video is done the player….
