Maybe there's something here that you'll find interesting...

Checking HTTP headers returned from website

If you want to check your headers returned on your website (perhaps if you are optimising your site using Google Lighthouse) – use CURL

CURL -v https://yourwebsite.com

Run this from the cmd prompt. It will return the whole website page – so redirect the output to a file to just see the header:

CURL -v https://yourwebsite.com >mywebsite.info.txt

This will output your website page to a file but show the header info on the screen. Check the headers for things like 'cache-control', HTTP/x version, Compression, etc.

Looking for blurb on Redirects for HTTPS...?

Ok so nothing special just a dumping ground for an interesting article on setting up .htaccess to do some https redirects.

Reminiscing – “those were the days...”

Started talking to a colleague about the 'olden days'. Disaster I know to get me on that subject.

But to put this into context, I'm a IT techie of the 80's. You know the days when computers were just, well, fucking exciting! We were discovering things, right at the operating system level. We were explorers, LOL.

Hi... thanks for reading this. Hopefully you will gain an insight into my thoughts; if there are any!

I've been in the IT industry since 1980'ish, yes, a long long time. I've had a passion for all things related to IT and in the last 15 years or so; the web. I still am fascinated by it all and love using technology on a daily basis.

More so that this I love seeing what others are doing with tech to solve problems and how they adapt the technology to help them.

My other passions are Photography (film(!) and Ultra Large format – these are cameras that are about 24 inches square), Letterpress printing and a few other obscure areas.

I will be posting random stuff. I guess for myself really as I can't believe anyone else would be interested – but it gives me a change do dump stuff from time to time.

You can find me on the web of course – just search for me (Jonathan Camp) or Micro Update (my business). If there's more than one, I'd be the attractive, intelligent one.

Cheers, thanks for stopping by...

This relates to transferring a .UK TLD (top level domain)

When you are transferring domains from one registrar to another, they always ask for the IPS-TAG. This is the unique name for the registrar (domain name management) you are transferring to.
