Not sure if httpbin is down or your tests are failing? Use `mock` to stub out your external calls!
import mock
import requests
import unittest
def get():
# Retrieves data from an external service eg. Twitter, Google
try:
return requests.get('http://external-service.com/')
except requests.RequestException:
return None

Go's default redirect behaviour seems to merge slashes in HTTP redirects. How can you override this behaviour?
package main
import (
"testing"
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
)
func TestMergeSlashes(t *testing.T) {
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://foo.com/", nil)

Compass `asset_cache_buster` based on file MD5 content hash rather than mtime.
# Generate cache busters using the MD5 digest of files rather than the default
# `mtime`.
asset_cache_buster do |_, file|
Digest::MD5.hexdigest(File.read(file.path))

For when you _really_ wanna change the type of a input with jQuery
var rtype = /^(?:button|input)$/i;
jQuery.attrHooks.type.set = function(elem, value) {
// We can't allow the type property to be changed (since it causes problems in IE)
if (rtype.test(elem.nodeName) && elem.parentNode) {
// jQuery.error( "type property can't be changed" );
// JB: Or ... can it!?
var $el = $(elem);
var insertionFn = 'after';
