A more useful lesson to us is: use http status codes appropriately.
The site took down the photos, but they keep returning 200 for the links, and saying "image gone" in content. That's not how it's supposed to be.
Please check to see your web-framework and CRM actually respect HTTP, in spec text and spirit.
- zachbeane 16y agoMaybe they use Arc, e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/nosuchfile http://news.ycombinator.com/nosuchfile
- pg 16y agoIt's not Arc that does that, it's the http server written in it. As you already knew.
- zachbeane 16y agoWhy wasn't it called "The http server written in Arc challenge" at http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html?
- mahmud 16y agoIt's common, though not acceptable, to conflate language with supporting tools/libraries, sometimes even the OS? It's very hard to draw the distinction when the language is not standardized, and/or heavily used (as language implementors are also its consumers.) It should be a good exercise to take the public StackOverflow data and see how many "Rails" problems are actually Ruby, httpd, db, OS, or wetware problems.
