No matter if some one searches for his essential thing,
therefore he/she wishes to be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.

I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one today.

You could also use curl –compressed to test for gzip compression

do something like ‘curl –compressed http://example.com -o /dev/null -w “%{size_download}\n”‘ and then do the same w/o –compressed.

you should get very different sized with both commands, also, for this to work you need zlib enabled curl.

ah … A fun UNIX trivia bit!

I just tried “nc -l 9999″ and it works fine on the BSD version (Mac OS X) but fails miserably on Gentoo.

To make things worse, on the BSD version “nc -l -p 9999″ returns the usage …

Apparently, you’ll have to flavor the examples according to the whims of your specific version of netcat. :-D

I not only read the article, I also tried it out. So “nc -l 9999″ did not work for my version (1.10), but “nc -l -p 9999″ did the trick instead. Maybe you want to fix/mention this in the article. Have a nice day!

I read the entire article in your voice and it was oddly comforting.

Great article, as is becoming usual. Totally useful for pinging different services when your on an unknown server behind a firewall, for whatever reason.
