Hello!

I'm doing some homework for my university and I would like my homework to be accessed remotely as well.

I have already port formwarded and I can access my webpage but when I press submit from a Remote IP my webpage does not work correctly because there's a mistake in the form action code line and I do not know how to correct that.

 

Here's the HTML code

 

 I want to correct the form action line in order for my webpage to work correctly from other clients as well

<!-- A form for selection a of a continent. Selection to be sent by POST -->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>Cookie will be written in our disc</TITLE> 
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"
                                                                                                                         METHOD="POST">      
      <STRONG>Select the Continent of your Destination:<br> </STRONG>
      <PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Europe">check here for Europe<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Asia">check here for Asia<BR>
 <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="America" CHECKED>check here for America<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent"  VALUE="Africa">check here for Africa<BR>
      </PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
      <INPUT TYPE="reset"> </P>
   </FORM>
</BODY>
 
</HTML>

If you want it online so that it can be accessed by anyone you will need to setup a web server. There are much quicker solutions such as: http://bowery.io which sets up a dev environment in 30 seconds and gives u a web accessible URL... if you are not experienced with servers and web dev stuff you will need to read up on the docs... or better yet a few dollars for a host account and host it online.

If I change my 

<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo">

to 

< <FORM ACTION="http://myhostname.com:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"

 

It will work but it won't work on my hostname

Setup your router and apache server config to make your localhost a public ip server.

 

So first make sure you're using port 80 instead of 8080 then test if you can connect with another device on the same wifi network to your computer ip"*

Then forward your pc ip to your public ip**

 

 

 

*192.168.1."something" in most cases

**63.233.34.12 looks like this

 

 

If you got a hostname(example.com) make sure to point it to your pc ip address, this can be done with a A record.

<form action="/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"  method="POST">

That should do it. Starting a URL with / makes it relative to the current host root.

 

And please use lowercase HTML elements, it looks much better and is a convention. If you start using developer tools you'll notice everything is lowercase too, even if you write it uppercase in your HTML.

    • Watchdog finds Microsoft guilty of confusing advertising when it comes to Copilot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Watchdog finds Microsoft guilty of confusing advertising when it comes to Copilot by Usama Jawad While Microsoft is advocating for Copilot usage in both personal and enterprise environments as much as possible, it arguably hasn't made as big of a splash as it wanted. Now, the U.S. watchdog National Advertising Division (NAD) has criticized Microsoft for some of its advertising practices when it comes to Copilot. In a recent blog post spotted by The Verge, NAD noted that Copilot does possess the functionalities that Microsoft expressly claims it does in enterprise use cases. This includes capabilities like summarization of content, generating text, and creating outlines for PowerPoint slide decks. While Copilot does have some limitations in this area, NAD thinks that they are pretty minor, so the lack of disclosure in this area doesn't really impact how most customers leverage Copilot. That said, the watchdog discovered some problems in Microsoft's messaging when it came to Business Chat. It believes that Redmond's universal and interchangeable use of Copilot for both the assistant and Business Chat can cause confusion among users, as they judge their functionalities. For example, NAD argues that while Copilot is quite fast at seamlessly generating documents in other applications, this is not the case with Business Chat, which requires more manual steps, and this is not abundantly clear in the advertising on Microsoft's website. Finally, NAD advised Microsoft to get rid of its claims regarding an increase in productivity and ROI because while the tech giant does have supporting studies to back its boasts, they do not provide a "good fit" for objective claims. It's also worth highlighting that the UK government recently did trial Copilot in work environments and discovered that participants did save 26 minutes per day on average. Still, it seems like this is not good enough for NAD. Interestingly, Microsoft did respond to NAD's advisory, saying that while it disagrees with some of the watchdog's findings, it has made changes to its advertising messages in order to comply with NAD's recommendations.

      These are the same ignorant, gullible, cowardly fools who still believe that gods are real and that fictional White Jesus is coming back to Earth "any day now". It's a Venn-diagram of two almost perfectly concentric circles. In short, they'll buy anything you lie to them about as long as it makes them less afraid... Of things the rest of us know we don't have to be afraid of at all.
