Wget Mirror HTML only

I have a small website that I try to mirror to my local machine with only the html file, no images, image attach files... pdf, ..etc.

I have never mirrored a website before and think it would be a good idea to ask the question before doing anything catastrophical.

This is the command that I want to run and wondering if anything else should be added.

wget --mirror <url> 

Thanks!

Draw mirrored in C# using System.Drawing.Graphics

I have written a little helper function which performs some sort of drawing operations, which are rather complex.

I call this function out of another class which sometimes applies transformations to it. Rotating and translating works fine, but now I want to force the helper function to draw the whole thing mirrored over the y-axis.

I tried to use

g.ScaleTransform(0, -1);

before calling the helper function, but it threw an exception.

So, how is it possible to draw mirrored using a System.Drawing.Graphics object?

Peter's GDB Tutorial [closed]

About two months ago, I found this incredibly great GDB tutorial written by Peter Jay Salzman.

It used to be accessible here, but I think the site has gone down for a couple of months now.

I found it on archive.org, and wanted to mirror it. I tried Wget and HTTrack to no avail; they both errored out. Googling didn't reveal much either.

Is there a mirror of this site?

Make Maven Proxy/Server settings configurable based on location?

So I'm not sure what the best way to accomplish this is, but basically I have a laptop that I use at work for Maven projects. It works fine when I'm at work, but as soon as I walk out of the door of their corporate proxy and maven server, I often have to do alot of hand-fudging of the settings.xml file when I'm at home if I'm not VPN'ed in:

• We have a corporate-installed Maven Repository proxy server to store some of our own artifacts and handle being the middle-man for our commonly used artifacts.
• We have an http proxy that we use for connecting to the outside world.

Both configurations have been handled by my settings.xml file for setting a single Nexus group and maven proxies. If I'm not connected to the VPN while away from the office, I have to muck around with the settings.xml each time I'm not on it, then switch it back when I am on it.

What solutions have anyone else found to handle this? I've been trying profiles to manage the proxy, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly, and it's starting to look pretty ugly. Are there some settings configurations that can detect when I'm not behind the proxy at work and not use the corporate proxy server or Maven server?

HTML Canvas: How to draw a flipped/mirrored image?

I'm trying to flip/mirror an image as I paint it on an HTML canvas; I found a game tutorial showing a sprite sheet per direction a character has to face, but this doesn't seem quite right to me :( Especially since each frame has a different size.

In some game engines (like cocos2D), I remember using methods like "flipX" which would simply draw the "player" looking in the opposite direction (it's my target, trying to make some basic platformer).

What would be the best technique for you to reach this goal?

I tried to call the setScale(-1,1); on my canvas with no success. Maybe that isn't meant for this.

Thanks :)

Mirror the first letter of a text with CSS

I searched a lot for a way to do what I want but I only found ways that I can't use.

The problem is: I want to mirror ONLY the first letter of a Wordpress Site Title.

I have this Css:

.site-title {
    font-family: fontLogo;
    font-size: 60px;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 58px 0 10px;
}

and I have added this piece:

.site-title::first-letter {
    font-size: 80px;
    -moz-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -o-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -ms-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    transform: scale(-1, 1);
}

The class is used here:

<h1 class="site-title">TheTitle</h1>

A second problem is that I CANNOT edit this line, the only thing I can do is work with the css (I tried also to type a >span> in the Title editor of WordPress without success.

The CSS actually is doing ONLY the scale of the letter, from 60px to 80px, but nothing is mirrored.

I am blocked and need a tip

Is there a way to setup a minimal rubygems mirror (with only last versions)

I want to build a rubygems mirror accesible for some servers at work (that don't have Internet access), so I started like everybody seems to do:

 $ cat gemmirror.config 
 ---
 - from: http://gems.rubyforge.org
 to: /data/rubygems/mirror

 $ gem mirror --config-file=gemmirror.config

The mirror starts syncing well. OK. But wait, it downloads the whole content of http://gems.rubyforge.org! I mean all the existing versions of every single gem. Wow. After a couple of hours I'm still downloading the gems that begin with the letter "L" ...

Not to mention the disk-space the mirror is going to take.

Now my question: is there a way to setup a "mini" rubygems server, like CPAN::Mini allows for Perl: such a mirror would contain only the latest version of every gems. This is in 99.9% of the cases what people want, I guess (at least this would be perfectly good enough for me there).

I've googled a lot and sadly, I cannot find any reference to that.

If someone can point me to the way to do that, I'd appreciate very much.

Thanks!

Question mark characters displaying within text, why is this?

I have a backup server that automatically backs up my live site, both files and database.

On the live site, the text looks fine, but when you view the mirrored version of it, it displays '?' within some of the text. This text is stored within the news database table.

Here is a screen shot of it being on the live server and of it on the mirrored server.

What could happen within the process of backing it up to the mirrored server?

Eclipse updates are extremely slow

Today I tried to download EGit plug-in from eclipse.org, and waited an hour and nothing happened. I tried three more times, waited for three hours and stopped.

Then I tried to clone egit from the repository developers, but it began to clone at a rate of 5kbps.

Then I thought maybe something wrong with my Eclipse, and decided to download a new one. Eclipse main site opened with a super-slow speed (although bigger than 5kbps). I'm just afraid to download the installer at this speed.

Can anybody repoduce it? What should I do?

Mirror SVN Repository [Write-through proxying]

I have a codebase located in Europe and access this codebase from Asia. Codebase is substantially huge, downloading the whole codebase (which is required sometimes) becomes a pain.

I wanted to know whether anything like this.

I want a solution that "I will have a svn server locally which will sync with the main svn and serve my team as the svn is locally hosted."

Thanks in advance

How do I mirror a directory with wget without creating parent directories?

I want to mirror a folder via FTP, like this:

wget --mirror --user=x --password=x ftp://ftp.site.com/folder/subfolder/evendeeper

But I do not want to create a directory structure like this:

ftp.site.com -> folder -> subfolder -> evendeeper

I just want:

evendeeper

And anything below it to be the resulting structure. It would also be acceptable for the contents of evendeeper to wind up in the current directory as long as subdirectories are created for subdirectories of evendeeper on the server.

I am aware of the -np option, according to the documentation that just keeps it from following links to parent pages (a non-issue for the binary files I'm mirroring via FTP). I am also aware of the -nd option, but this prevents creating any directory structure at all, even for subdirectories of evendeeper.

I would consider alternatives as long as they are command-line-based, readily available as Ubuntu packages and easily automated like wget.

Change mirror of update sites of eclipse plugins

I'm using ganymede but I can't find the option to change mirror for the update sites. Is there a way to change this?

How to update a git clone --mirror?

I have created a git repository to mirror a live site (which is a non-bare git repository):

git clone --mirror ssh://user@example.com/path/to/repo

Now, to keep this mirror clone updated with all changes from its remote origin, which command or commands I must use?

I'd like to keep everything updated: commits, refs, hooks, branches, etc.

Thanks!

Mirror a git repository by pulling?

I am wondering if there is an easy way, ie like a simple cron job, to regularly pull from a remote git repository to a local read only mirror for backup purposes?

Ideally it would pull all branches and tags, but the master/trunk/head would be sufficient.

I just need a way to make sure that if the master git server dies, we have a backup location that we could manually fail over to.

wget - how to mirror only a section of a website

I cannot get wget to mirror a section of a website (a folder path below root) - it only seems to work from the website homepage.

I've tried many options - here is one example

wget -rkp -l3 -np http://somewebsite/subpath/down/here/

While I only want to mirror the content links below that URL - I also need to download all the page assets which are not in that path.

It seems to work fine for the homepage (/) but I can't get it going for any sub folders.

Thanks for your help!
