Template .gitignore file for WordPress projects
# This is a template .gitignore file for git-managed WordPress projects.
#
# Fact: you don't want WordPress core files, or your server-specific
# configuration files etc., in your project's repository. You just don't.
#
# Solution: stick this file up your repository root (which it assumes is
# also the WordPress root directory) and add exceptions for any plugins,
# themes, and other directories that should be under version control.
#
# See the comments below for more info on how to add exceptions for your

How to securely acquire the Mozilla root certificate bundle for use with curl, Net::HTTP, etc.

If you want to use curl or net-http/open-uri to access https resources, you will often (always?) get an error, because they don't have the large number of root certificates installed that web browsers have.

You can manually install the root certs, but first you have to get them from somewhere. This article gives a nice description of how to do that. The source of the cert files it points to is hosted by the curl project, who kindly provide it in the .pem format.

problem: Sadly, ironically, and comically, it's not possible to access that file via https! Luckily, the awesome curl project does provide us with the script that they use to produce the file, so we can do it securely ourselves. Here's how.

  1. git clone https://github.com/bagder/curl.git
  2. cd curl/lib
  3. edit mk-ca-bundle.pl and change:

Let’s leave aside, for now, the fact that you’ve changed web standards. You’ve been a participant in the first time—in the history of the web, far as I know—that the web development community has taken a feature from an initial proposal to the funding of an honest-to-God native implementation.

Instead, I want you to focus on this: say only ten developers use a native responsive images solution to reduce the weight of just one page apeice by only 500kb, and each of those pages has a barely-significant 5,000 hits per month: those users have been saved almost 24GB of data. A thousand pages saving 500kb apeice, and we’ve saved users an entire terabyte in a month. Now expand that to the entire industry: every web developer; every hit on every page that would otherwise carry with it a huge, wasteful image request, saving megabytes at a time. To those users, the only change is that the web is faster, less expensive, more accessible. For those users, the web is just better.
