Secure Messaging is a Web-based, alternative mail system for sending and receiving messages.

Use secure messaging to send and receive messages from a alternative web-based mail system. Using the secure messaging system no actual mail is transmitted through any 3rd party servers.

Only an optional message notice is sent to the recepient, the user needs to visit the site in order to read the message.

Normal SMTP mail can hit multiple servers and can possibly be read, stored, or changed anywhere within the process.

Setup secure messaging on an SSL enabled website to enhance the privacy even more.

DCE::Status is a Perl interface of DCE status codes.

SYNOPSIS

use DCE::Status;

$errstr = error_inq_text($status);

tie $status => DCE::Status;

When a $scalar is tied to the DCE::Status class, it has a different value depending on the context it is evaluated in, similar to the magic $! variable. When evaluated in a numeric context, the numeric value is returns, otherwise, the string value obtained from dce_error_inq_text is returned.

EXPORTS

error_inq_text

Equivalent to the dce_error_inq_text function.

$errstr = error_inq_text($status);

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================
Enhancements:
- Ability to query the online/away status directly from Kopete (DCOP). This requires a patched Kopete, see the description for more details on how to proceed.
- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

ebXML::Message is a Perl module to encapsulate an ebMS message.

SYNOPSIS

use ebXML::Message;

# create new message

my $message = ebXML::Message->new
(
CPAId => http://www.you.org/cpa/123456,
Action => NewPurchaseOrder,
MessageId => 12,
RefMessageToId => 11,
Service => ebXML::Message::Service->new
(
VALUE => QuoteToCollect,
Type => myservicetypes,
),
);

# write SOAP XML using DOM

use XML::Xerses;

# DOM Document
my $target = XML::Xerces::StdOutFormatTarget->new();
$writer->writeNode($target,$message->getOutput(DOM-Doc);

# DOM generated / munged XML
print OUT $message->getOutput(DOM-XML);


# use message with SOAP::Lite to call webservice

use SOAP::Lite;

# SOAP::Data::Builder object
my $result = SOAP::Lite->uri(http://uri.to/WebService)
->proxy(http://uri.to/soap.cgi)
->parts($message->getMIMEParts)
->call($message->getOutput(SOAP-Data))
->result;

# SOAP::Data::Builder generated / munged XML
print OUT $message->getOutput(SOAP-XML);

An ebXML message encapsulates all the details of an ebMS message.
ebXML is a mechanism for ensuring reliable delivery of XML-based messages via a transport mechanism such as SOAP. For more details on ebXML, see http://www.ebxml.org/
Large portions of this manual page are copied directly from the ebMS 2.0 specification.

Organize Status Bar is an extension which allows you to organize your status bar icons.

This extension will enable you to organize your status bar icons. You can now rearrange or remove any item (icon or text) in the Firefox status bar.

If your status bar is full and cluttered like mine was, give this a try.
