Node.js: using socket.io with cluster module
August 26, 2012 by Paulina Budzoń
I’ve been recently working on a project that uses Node.js with cluster module and socket.io and I noticed that a lot of people that try to use Node.js with socket.io have problems with how to make it work with cluster module.
Accessing Gmail with oAuth authorization in PHP
December 18, 2011 by Paulina Budzoń
Recently, I’ve joined a project that required accessing Gmail accounts using oAuth authentication with PHP. It turns out, that’s not such a very simple thing to do, especially with PHP - Zend has a very nice implementation for it, but the wiki page is terribly old and outdated… I’ve lost a few hours looking for a nice and clean solution and found a “handmadeimap” project done by Pete Warder some time ago. Bad thing is, the latest commit was done in 2010. The good thing: not much has changed since then, so the code works perfectly. It’s even better to use that php-imap extension, as you need to use raw IMAP commands, which gives you the chance to use, for example, gmail’s special X-GM-RAW extension to SEARCH command.
