Quickly Copy Large Directory Tree Via SSH

To copy the entire directory tree at /some/path to other.host via SSH...

   1  
   2  find /some/path -print | sort | cpio -o -Hnewc | ssh -C other.host "cpio -idvum"


Make sure you use an absolute path to the directory tree. Existing files on the destination host will be overwritten unconditionally.

Decode an encoded query string in C

Here's a little function to decode part of a query string that has been encoded as per the HTML specification with %xx notation, where xx is the hexidecimal representation of a character.

Be warned that this function modifies the contents of the string you pass as the argument!

   1  
   2  #include <stdlib.h>
   3  
   4  char* decode_query (char* str)
   5  {
   6          char*           in = str;
   7          char*           out = str;
   8  
   9          char            c = 0;
  10          char            decode_buffer[5] = { '0', 'x', 0, 0, 0 };
  11  
  12          while ((c = *in++)) {
  13                  if (c == '%' && *in && *(in + 1)) {
  14                          decode_buffer[2] = *in++;
  15                          decode_buffer[3] = *in++;
  16  
  17                          c = char(strtod(decode_buffer, (char**) NULL));
  18                  } else if (c == '+')
  19                          c = ' ';
  20  
  21                  *out++ = c;
  22          }
  23  
  24          *out = 0;
  25  
  26          return str;
  27  }

Auto-Sizing DIVs

To have a <DIV> shrink and enlarge based on its content, use this CSS:

   1  div.autosize { display: table; width: 1px; }
   2  div.autosize > div { display: table-cell; }


In your HTML, enclose the <DIV> you want autosized in another <DIV> with class="autosize"

Before:

   1  
   2  <div>
   3  I want this to be auto sized!
   4  </div>


After:

   1  
   2  <div class="autosize">
   3  <div>
   4  I want this to be auto sized!
   5  </div>
   6  </div>


Tested in Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, Opera 7, and Internet Explorer 6.
