I recently installed Trac to replace a crawling WebSVN install, and wanted to keep the modified files diff links generated on the CCNet build report.

To enable this I changed the webUrlBuilder Url to…

<project name="MyProject.Trunk.Continuous">
  ...
  <sourcecontrol type="svn">
    ...
    <webUrlBuilder type="websvn">
      <url>http://trac.myserver.com/MyProject/changeset/{1}{0}</url>
    </webUrlBuilder>
  </sourcecontrol>
  ...
</project>

…which now matches the url required to show file differences in Trac.

I’d never heard this until I listened to John Mayer’s Where The Light Is album on Spotify. Loving the tuning and the harmonics!

Spotted these in John Lewis last weekend

How the hell…?

I’ve just stumbled across a problem with using the AJAX $.post() wrapper in jQuery 1.2.6 and Firefox 3.

If you call…
$.post('/do/something.handler');
…jQuery doesn’t seem to generate a Content-Length header and causes IIS to return a HTTP/1.x 411 Length Required error.

To fix this, I’m adding an empty data array…
$.post('/do/something.handler', {});
…which now generates a Content-Length: 0 header and returns the correct response from IIS.

Not sure if this is fixed in jQuery 1.3+ or occurs in other versions of Firefox, but the above seems to fudge it in this scenario.
