🏠Activity stream

For a while, on an earlier homepage, I collected together an “activity stream”. It was collated from a variety of sources through a number of complicated processes to show a “recent activity” view.

I’m sort of interested in that kind of thing, so I’ve made an attempt to recreate it here. This is derived from periodically updated feeds, most recently:

    Problem with calling chunked docbook for XProc

    I call docbook.xsl with p:xslt from XProc and supply parameters (with SaxonHE 11.4). I get:

    Error '{http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors}XTTE0570': The required item type of the value of variable $vp:chunk-output-base-uri is xs:anyURI, but the supplied expression {$chunk-output-base-uri} has item type xs:string. (docbook-xslTNG-2.0.6/xslt/modules/variable.xsl at 158/-1)

    I can fix this in variable.xsl line 158 and 161 if I change <xsl:sequence select="$chunk-output-base-uri"/> to <xsl:sequence select="xs:anyURI($chunk-output-base-uri)"/> I think this is needed to make sure because $chunk-output-base-uri is an xs:string. Does that make any sense?

    Fix fp:relative-uri

    As defined, the function requires an xs:anyURI, but that's not always convenient so just let them be strings.

    New releases of XmlResolver for C#. Recently, I’ve made a few fixes to the C# version of the XML Resolver. If you’re using it, I humbly suggest you might want to consider upgrading.

    The UriUtils.GetStream utility method hides HTTP errors

    Fix the bug where UriUtils.GetStream() hides http errors

    As proposed in the bug, non-200 responses now throw an exception. This is only intended as a convenience method. If you need more sophisticated semantics, this is not the API for you.

    Someone I follow mentioned @raycast (or mentioned it in passing) and I thought it sounded interesting. So I went to the home page. Uhm. Folks. I read that page twice and I still had *no idea* what it was. The first "docs" link on the page goes to the API docs. It's not till near the bottom of the page that I finally noticed the link to the manual. That helped. Might wanna think about putting some of that "above the fold".

    The UriUtils.GetStream utility method hides HTTP errors

    The HTTP version of the GetStream method always returns a stream, even when the response from the server was not a success, for example 404.

    This method has no way to provide the response code, so I think it should only return a stream for a 200 response.

    The .NET6 HttpClient class appears to automatically follow 3xx redirects, so a 302 to a 200 will return the approproate stream.

    Talk about wildly anti-patterned. Trying to change a password on an Office365 account. If you paste into the password box, you get a message along the lines of "password cannot contain username". I promise the random string I was pasting contained *no similarity* to the user name. They made me actually type it. Twice. So it's shorter and simpler because who has the time?
