Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)

Setup

git clone <repo>

clone the repository specified by ; this is similar to "checkout" in some other version control systems such as Subversion and CVS

Add colors to your ~/.gitconfig file:

mattd

server {
  root /var/www/example.com/static;
  server_name example.com;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.error.log;

  try_files /maintenance.html @proxy;

  location @proxy {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:10001;

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

/**
 * Luhn Class is an implementation of the Luhn algorithm that checks validity of a credit card number.
 * 
 * @author <a href="http://www.chriswareham.demon.co.uk/software/Luhn.java">Chris Wareham</a>
 * @version Checks whether a string of digits is a valid credit card number according to the Luhn algorithm. 1. Starting with the second to last digit and
 *           moving left, double the value of all the alternating digits. For any digits that thus become 10 or more, add their digits together. For example,
 *           1111 becomes 2121, while 8763 becomes 7733 (from (1+6)7(1+2)3). 2. Add all these digits together. For example, 1111 becomes 2121, then 2+1+2+1 is
 *           6; while 8763 becomes 7733, then 7+7+3+3 is 20. 3. If the total ends in 0 (put another way, if the total modulus 10 is 0), then the number is valid
 *           according to the Luhn formula, else it is not valid. So, 1111 is not valid (as shown above, it comes out to 6), while 8763 is valid (as shown
 *           above, it comes ou

UGC API

An in progress guide on how to use the UGC API.

In order to use the UGC API you must obtain an API key from a UGC Admin. This key is not to be shared, as it will be tied to your name/organization. If we find out that the API key is being passed around, then the key will be deleted and technical relations will be terminated.

API Calls

Exists

This will return a simple true/false with a given input.
