How to serve a custom HTTPS domain on GitHub Pages with CloudFlare: *FREE*, secure and performant by default

Instructions

CloudFlare is an awesome reverse cache proxy and CDN that provides DNS, free HTTPS (TLS) support, best-in-class performance settings (gzip, SDCH, HTTP/2, sane Cache-Control and E-Tag headers, etc.), minification, etc.

  1. Make sure you have registered a domain name.
  2. Sign up for CloudFlare and create an account for your domain.
  3. In your domain registrar's admin panel, point the nameservers to CloudFlare's (refer to this awesome list of links for instructions for various registrars).
  4. From the CloudFlare settings for that domain, enable HTTPS/SSL and set up a Page Rule to force HTTPS redirects. (If you want to get fancy, you can also enable automatic minification for text-based assets [HTML/CSS/JS/SVG/etc.], which is a pretty cool feature if you don't want already have a build step for minification.)
  5. If you

Demo of streaming requests with Tornado
"""Demo of streaming requests with Tornado.
This script features a client using AsyncHTTPClient's body_producer
feature to slowly produce a large request body, and two server
handlers to receive this body (one is a proxy that forwards to the
other, also using body_producer).
It also demonstrates flow control: if --client_delay is smaller than
--server_delay, the client will eventually be suspended to allow the
server to catch up. You can see this in the logs, as the "client

Writing your own asynchronous library using Tornado. Library.ask is called asynchronously, and just returns a string. Library.check_failure is used to make sure failures are detected when unit-testing.

# do a computation that doesn't block for a long time.
result = "Why would you want to know about '{0}'".format(question)

Asynchronous programming in Tornado

Asynchronous programming with Tornado

Asynchronous programming can be tricky for beginners, therefore I think it's useful to iron some basic concepts to avoid common pitfalls.

For an explanation about generic asynchronous programming, I recommend you one of the [many][2] [resources][3] [online][4].

I will focus on solely on asynchronous programming in [Tornado][1]. From Tornado's homepage:
