RESTClient 2.3.2 Released

A major issue with the previous releases of RESTClient was that it was not accepting headers and parameters with identical keys. This has been fixed in the present version. This has been made possible because of the data-structures available in the WizTools.org Commons Lib project.

Downloads can be found in the usual location.

Skeletal project to get started with JA-SIG CAS Java Client

Every time I have visited the subject of CAS SSO, I have come across misleading documentation, missing information on configuration, and few instances of conflicting information. This I am sure everyone who is has tried CAS, or who is using CAS is aware of. To ease the setup of client side in CAS, I have started a new project called cas-client-test. This project will not release any binaries. This is a skeletal project which should be used as a starting point of CAS-based projects. So the only thing this project will have is the source code.

Shutting down The Great Wall

I will be shutting down The Great Wall micro-blogging project. This project was started when I was in employment and Twitter was banned in our office. I wanted a platform to micro-blog my project progress to my stake holders. For this purpose The Great Wall was created. After quitting that Job, I did not have enough reason to pursue this project. Thanks for the code contributors. And my apologies for those of you who were expecting a release.

Random password generation using Commons Lib 0.1.1

A tutorial on generating random password is added to the Wiki.

Commons Lib 0.1.1 Released

WizTools.org Commons Lib project has released 0.1.1 version. Usually a library providing common functionality needs to be extensively documented with API document availability. But I have not been able to document this library much. Probably I will correct this in later versions. This library is now used in many WizTools.org projects, as well as in many commercial projects I am involved in.

Bulk Mailer Perl Script

By accident I came across a site which archived one of my older scripts. This is a Perl script which I wrote and used during my college days to send Newsletters to my friends. Brought back sweet memories of those days :-) Now I have repackaged and committed it in the WizTools.org mini-projects repository. This will ensure its continued development and maintenance.

Download release 1.0.
