Ext JS 2.0.2 Released

If you haven’t looked at the Ext JS framework yet, you really ought to. We use it extensively at work and we are quite happy with it. I just wanted to point out that the 2.0.2 version of Ext has come out. This release was mostly related to the new Adobe AIR 1.0 that was recently released. Currently at work we don’t do any AIR related things, but we’ve looked at dabbling in that field in the future. That being said, there are a few custom Ext components that were put in the Simple Tasks example that came out with this release. The TreeList, custom grid columns, and a switch button are all used in Simple Tasks, but their code could very easily be copied from that example to be put into any 2.x-compatible code.

Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

Have you ever seen this error before when working with CURL:

“Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl”

Yet, you know that https works. Or even:

“Protocol http not supported or disabled in libcurl”

And you think, “What the hell? That’s basically what CURL is for. Why would HTTP not work!?”

Try wrapping that echoed out error message with <pre> tags:

Protocol  https not supported or disabled in libcurl

Notice anything?

There is an extra space before ‘https’. Make sure that when you do set CURLOPT_URL, you don’t put a space before the http, CURL won’t know what to do with it.
