Javascript - can't access pages from other domains? [www.webmasterworld.com]

I was wondering why I was having so much problems with Javascript across different domains...

The default security in javascript is even more restrictive than "same domain". It's known as the Same Origin policy. It says that a script can only read properties of windows and documents that were loaded:

1. from the same host
2. through the same port
3. by the same protocol

Jim Davidson on a few undocumented things you can do with Aolserver

It turns out theres an undocumented Tcl_GetMemoryInfo call in Tcl. The only user is AOLserver's "ns_info pools" command which uses it to get a list of lists of per-bucket memory usage for each thread. Since it turns out you can load libnsd to get the ns_info command (also undocumented), you can try this:

shell# bin/tclsh8.5
% load lib/libnsd.so
% ns_info pools; ... look at output on zippy memory usage ...
% ... run test ...
% ns_info pools; ... look again ...

Rubick.com is now back up

Sorry for the hiatus. Rubick.com is now back up and running, upgraded and on a new server, and at a new hosting facility instead of in my basement.

I'm hoping this will ensure that it will be more reliable in the future.
