I found this package on Ruby http://sup.rubyforge.org/
Wonder if there is something similar to run on Windows without all these Ruby packages.. ?
There is. You can use Command line tools for the Google Data APIs( http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/) There is also extensive documentation attached, of examples and best usages.
It supports Gmail, Picasa etc. and allows you to do most of the things thought console statements.
You could try finding a command line IMAP client. I did a quick Google search and got some hits but I don't have any experience using them. I recommend you look into that. Seeing as gmail supports IMAP and POP3, you probably don't need a specialized gmail client.
Just search for: Windows IMAP command line client

i try to find a good combination of libraries for managing a real-time communication (client/server) using Haxe (only Haxe, not openfl or other framework base on Haxe) targeting flash (swf) for the client and no preference for the server except don't use neko.
The goal is to make a simple tchat and put a display representation of all clients on an aera. Each client can move his representation in this area, and the other sees the movement.
I find some Lib to make this :
https://github.com/soywiz/haxe-ws
https://github.com/MattTuttle/hxnet
haxe-js-kit
But I'm not sure of the best way to adopt.
Do you have any suggestion/remarks/tips to choose the better way ?
Disclaimer: I wrote the library that I am sharing here.
My somewhat new library mphx may be able to help you. It can manage 'rooms' of connections, allows client to server and server to client messaging in the form of events, and best of all, is cross platform. It also works in the web with websockets.
It was originally an extention of HxNet, however I wanted it to be easier to use. Connecting and sending a 'message' with data just takes a few lines.
I have a few examples in the github repository, the simplest being the 'basic' example. One of your requests you have is that it doesn't rely on one of the big libraries (open fl, etc) and mphx doesn't. The basic example proves that, and only runs in terminal. That being said, it can be used with haxeflixel, for that you can see the other examples.
It sounds like your main goal is to have simple, graphic multiplayer. For that you can look at the 'movement' haxeflixel example.
Documentation is still a little skim, and the code is alpha, so it might change or break. That can probably be said for most of the library's you listed though. The best way to install it is like this
haxelib git mphx https://github.com/5Mixer/mphx.git
That will not install the examples though. To run them, either download the repository as a zip, or just git clone it, and go into the examples folder.

Chrome is on the verge of definitly break compatability with NPAPI, and IE breaking with ActiveX the future of Java Applets is dark. Currenty we actively use a secure applet for out client organizations that enables their users to upload a bunch of files from their file system to our servers with the click of a button. The applet has full access to any configured drive, including network drives.
With the imminent death of the applet this functionality is going to be lost if we don't find an alternative. I have already tried to explore different solutions, including the chrome FileSystem API but that is currently only available for Chrome (http://caniuse.com/#feat=filesystem) and has limited access.
Does anybody know about an alternative to keep supporting the much appreciated functionality? Unfortunately we are obligated to support all browser down to IE8.
I've written a post about this here.
Once Google Chrome was the first to announce that they won’t be supporting NPAPI anymore, they were also the first to provide a new architecture in order to rewrite your code to work on their browser. You can take a look on Native Messaging, which “can exchange messages with native applications using an API that is similar to the other message passing APIs”. The problem is that this approach only works on Chrome, is not something that you can adapt to other browsers.
A more useful approach is FireBreath, a browser plugin in a post NPAPI world. Check the words below from one buddy of the project:
“FireBreath 2 will allow you to write a plugin that works in NPAPI, ActiveX, or through Native Messaging; it’s getting close to ready to go into beta. It doesn’t have any kind of real drawing support, but would work for what you describe. The install process is a bit of a pain, but it works. The FireWyrm protocol that the native messaging component uses could be used with any connection that allows passing text data; it should be possible to make it work with js-ctypes on firefox or plausibly WEB-RTC or even CORS AJAX in some way. For now the only thing we needed to solve was Chrome, but we did it in a way that should be pretty portable to other technologies.”
In light of the answer provided by Uly Marins I have researched the options suggested. Unfortunately these options weren't viable for our application, because the mayority of our users do not have sufficient rights to install third party plugins. Additionally the API is still in Beta which won't do any good in a stable production environment.
The main problem we wanted to solve was the abbility to delete files from the accessed folders. It seemed like one of the mayor goals of the removal of the NPAPI support was exactly to prevent this kind of possibility. Therefore we needed to reduce our goals to a simple solution that was still acceptable for our users, with the additional training on how to clear the selected folder manually (because most of our users are almost computer illiterate and needed to access network folders).
Long answer short. The requested solution is just not possible anymore and had to be replaced by a simpler solution and additional training.
Does anyone know good tutorials online or books that will help with NET-SNMP.
Or can anybody recommend my a SNMP trap generator for Unix
Basically I want to send SNMP traps from UNIX to SCOM server but i can not use SCOM AGENT as it is heavy.
Net-SNMP includes a commandline tool "snmptrap" that you can use to send traps. Or you can use Perl to write script that does the trap sending.
The O'Reilly book "Essential SNMP" besides explaining SNMP in general, has many examples how to use SNMP from the command line or from Perl.
You can get tutorials from official NET-SNMP wiki - just search google.
Regarding your question, you can find one good article in this
snmptrap tutorial link
If you're using UNIX/Solaris as your dev platform, make sure you include the "/usr/sfw/bin" folder in your PATH as it's not searched by default.
I've seen this link (HTTP testing tool, easily send POST/GET/PUT) very useful but my requirements now are to support japanese characters (utf-8).
Using RestClient and WFetch, the text are garbled. Any settings need to be done first or any other tool that can support utf-8 response?
I don't know if it helps, but in PHP, I wrote a class to make HTTP requests.
https://github.com/homer6/altumo/blob/master/source/php/Http/OutgoingHttpRequest.md
I'd be curious to see how it performs with Japanese characters. You may be able to add the
http://php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php
utf_encode function in php to encode the response, if you're also getting garbled reponses.
Hope that helps...
Visual Studio Web Performance and Load tests do what you are asking. Here's a quick article describing how to create a simple web service request: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182557.aspx.
It does require Visual Studio Ultimate. If you already have it, then it's a great tool, if you don't you may consider other options that could be less expensive.
I recently discovered the org-mode in emacs and it works very well for me. I also like www.RememberTheMilk.com. I would like to be able to sync my org-mode file and RTM list. I know that RTM has its API exposed as web services. I am currently looking for a HTTP library that I could use to write my script. I found a couple of links but I am still not entirely satisfied.

Any pointers in doing web service interactions with emacs would be very useful. Also please keep in mind that I'm not a seasoned emacs expert. I have broken the initial barriers of emacs and can find my way around elisp. So, be gentle. :-)
Emacs ships with url.el and url-http.el. Although http-get.el, http-post.el and http-cookies.el are in vogue today. Here's the GitHub link where you can get it from.
http://github.com/wfarr/dotfiles/tree/master/.elisp
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
If I were to work on this, I'd use Pymacs to interface Emacs to Python and then use the existing Python API kit for Remember the Milk. Why re-implement all the HTTP crud yourself?
