Free xmlhttprequest software for linux

XHR Chat is a demonstration type chat script I wrote when experimenting with xmlHttpRequest. It never refreshes, keeps an infinite post log, and checks for new posts once a second.

XHR Chat will degrade gracefully if the browser doesnt support xmlHttpRequest, just so long it still has javascript enabled.

Humax project is a framework for developing RIA Web 2.0 applications.
It provides a rich set of object-oriented client-side libraries which works seamlessly regardless of the server side technology used.
The web applications are today developed with rich interactive and quick responsible way. This was achieved by the usage of AJAX. Though, XmlHttpRequest is the only thing makes a web application as AJAX enabled, but there are numerous patterns used along with it.
In a straight forward manner, nothing but the usage of JavaScript. Previously, web applications used JavaScript only for client side validation and interactivity. In the AJAX world, JavaScript replaces high level languages in UI and UI Processing layers. Lot of frameworks available for providing interoperability between server side and client side in object oriented manner.
However, still the client side development more object orientation than what we currently use. This is not only the matter of object thinking. The client side development requires the features and facilities available in server side technology.
In addition to these, we require more for developing applications for Web 2.0 paradigm. Humax is one of the initiatives for providing the above specified requirements. Simply said, the scope for Humax framework is:
Complete object orientation and Interoperable Web 2.0 framework.
Framework with features as like in server side technology.
How To Use:
Step 1: Add Humax into your web project
Humax library is defined on "humax0.1.js" file. You can add this into your html pages header section by
< script type="text/javascript" src="humax.js" / >
Step 2: Define and Use Classes
You can either define the client side logic on separate JavaScript file or within the page itself. Humax recommend to use separate file. Some of the modern HTML/JavaScript editors supports code assistance which will improve your development productivity
Unofficially, Humax recommends to use Aptana IDE. It is a pure open source IDE for developing HTML/JavaScript. But the Code Assist Profiles one of the unique feature.
The following is a sample code declared on separate file
var HumaxSpace = {}
HumaxSpace.Point = function(x, y)
{
if(arguments.length == 0)
{
this._x = 0;
this._y = 0;
}else
{
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
}
}
HumaxSpace.Point.prototype =
{
_x : 0,
_y : 0,
getX : function(){return this._x;},
getY : function(){return this._y;},
setX : function(x) {this._x = x;},
setY : function(y){this._y = y;}
}
HumaxSpace.Point.equals = function(a, b)
{
if(a instanceof HumaxSpace.Point && b instanceof HumaxSpace.Point)
{
if(a.getX() == b.getX() &&
a.getY() == b.getY())
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
Humax.declareClass("HumaxSpace.Point", HumaxSpace.Point);
Step 3: Use the classes
You can use these classes to create instances on another JavaScript file or the html page as like
< script type="text/javascript" >
var point1 = new HumaxSpace.Point();
point1.setX(4);
point1.setY(3);
var point2 = new HumaxSpace.Point(6, 3);
if(HumaxSpace.Point.equals(point1, point2))
alert("Points are same");
< script >
Enhancements:
- This release enables you to design and develop complete object orientation client side script.

Tiny Tiny RSS is a server-side RSS feed aggregator written in PHP and heavily based on XmlHttpRequest and related technologies for user interface and operation.

For years Ive been searching for a perfect RSS aggregator. I tried desktop ones (Straw, Blam!, Liferea) - while nice programs they usually lacked something or were overencumbered with features. Also, desktop aggregators cant solve the problem of keeping read feeds in sync between different machines.

I tried server-side aggregators, several ones. Unfortunately, I didnt find anything that felt usable, they had all the problems of classical web applications - clunky interface, no realtime updates, just not designed the way I like it, etc.

Well, then the obvious solution was to write an aggregator myself. I also felt the need to exercise in simple XmlHttpRequest web application programming, so TT-RSS was born. While obviously being on early stages on development and pretty much unfinished it offers a lot of functionality of desktop application while staying on server-side with all the benefits it provides.

Selenium Remote Control project is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.
Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript.
The Selenium Server communicates directly with the browser using AJAX (XmlHttpRequest). You can send commands directly to the Server using simple HTTP GET/POST requests; that means that you can use any programming language that can make HTTP requests to automate Selenium tests on the browser. To further ease this process, we provide wrapper objects for a number of mainstream programming languages (Java, .NET, Perl, Python, and Ruby).
Finally, the Selenium Server acts as a client-configured HTTP proxy, to stand in between the browser and your website. This allows a Selenium-enabled browser to run JavaScript on arbitrary websites.
The Selenium Server is great for testing complex AJAX-based web user interfaces under a Continuous Integration system. It is also an ideal solution for users of Selenium Core or Selenium IDE who want to write tests in a more expressive programming language than the Selenese HTML table format customarily used with Selenium Core.

ChaNT is a flexible, powerful, cross-browser and easy to use open source web-based chat system written in PHP and JavaScript. Support for BBCode, 3D Animated Smileys with a IM like toolbar for formatting your chat messages. This project does not require any browser plugins like Java or Flash. Also it not requires MySQL, all data stored in ordinary files.

ChaNT included privacy features such as traffic encryption(client-server-client) and client side password hashing. It have powerful admin control panel and can integrated with many forums and CMS. ChaNT supports all major browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Mozilla. It has a minimalistic and an elegant user interface which looks and feels a lot like a IM desktop application, since it uses AJAX. ChaNT is very fast, light weight and makes chatting more fun.

You can bookmark this page and return at any time to find the latest ChaNT updates as they`re released.

How does it work?

The ChaNT client side functioning on JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object to asynchronously communicate with the server-side. Server response parsed and used to update the chat window content. By generating the HTML locally within the browser, and only bringing down JavaScript calls and the actual data, AJAX web pages can appear to load relatively quickly since the payload coming down is much smaller in size.

php-json is an extremely fast PHP C extension for JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) serialisation. php-json project library uses a forked version of json-c.
It can be used in conjunction with XMLHTTPRequest to exchange JavaScript-encoded data with a browser.
Usage:
A simple ./configure; make; make install should do the trick. Make sure to add an extension=json.so line to your php.ini/php.d. Note: you need to compile php-json with gcc 3.x and up.
Then, just use json_encode to encode your PHP values into JSON, and json_decode to decode JSON into a PHP value.
For example:
$output = json_encode($val);
echo $output."n";
Would produce:
{ "abc": 12, "foo": "bar", "bool0": false, "bool1": true, "arr": [ 1, 2, 3, null, 5 ], "float": 1.2345 }
While:
$input = { "abc": 12, "foo": "bar", "bool0": false, "bool1": true, "arr": [ 1, 2, 3, null, 5 ], "float": 1.2345 };
$val = json_decode($input);
echo $val->abc."n";
Would produce:
12
As of version 1.0.5, json_decode takes an optional parameter, assoc (boolean), that returns an associative array instead of an object.
A PHP object correlates to a JavaScript object (associative array, i.e., key => value pairs), so the above would be referenced in JavaScript like so:
var obj = ...; /* retrieve JSON and eval() it, returning an object */
var result = obj["abc"] * obj["float"];
alert("result is " + result);
This should display an alert box with the value of result, i.e., 14.814.
Enhancements:
- A complete rewrite using JSON_checker as the base for the parser.
- Implements the JSON specification.
- Significant performance improvements on encoding.
- Re-licensed under the PHP license.

astGUIclient is a GUI client application for the Asterisk open-source PBX.
This is a suite of programs that are designed to interact with the Asterisk Open-Source PBX Phone system at a client computer level to extend the functionality of your phone and system.
The suite of software is designed to work with an Asterisk system that has Zap(T1/E1/PSTN),IAX or SIP trunks and SIP/IAX/Zap phones.
The main GUI application, astGUIclient, is a set of PHP web-based scripts utilizing Javascript and XMLHTTPRequest functions that work through a browser to give real-time information and functionality with nothing more than an internet browser on the client computer.
Another component included with the astGUIclient package is the VICIDIAL auto-dialer. This is a list dialer(another real-time web-client) that can be added to Asterisk and is highly configurable with detailed logging. VICIDIAL can dial one-call-at-a-time or you can put it in auto-dial mode and it acts as a predictive dialer. VICIDIAL also can function as an ACD for inbound calls or for Closer calls coming from VICIDIAL fronters and even allows for remote agents that may only have a phone.
The software suite also includes a from-scratch software installation document, full English and Spanish versions of the web-clients and admin pages, and the Asterisk Central Queue System(ACQS) which allows for optimized and streamlined Asterisk integration.
This group of applications is designed to run on top of just about any version of Asterisk so no messing around with the Asterisk source code is necessary. For more information see the system requirements. astGUIclient is not an Asterisk configuration utility, it is an end-user Graphical User Interface.
All astGUIclient software elements are distributed freely through the GPL with no warranty.
