I am trying to read on mobile browsers RSS feeds from SharePoint sites (like this one). The issue is that for some mysterious reason SharePoint doesn't serve RSS to mobile.
How can I work around this issue? Is there a way to hide the device type to trick the server?
[Edit] I am looking for a html or JavaScript solution, this is for public sites and I can't expect all visitors to change their mobile browser settings.
You will want to update the compat.browser file found in the web applications app_browser directory. You can learn more here

I'm looking for leads on how to capture web page metadata from the current browser page. I want to create a feature in my application that will allow the user to press a hot key and record meta data from the web page currently open in the user's browser. My application will be running minimized, this feature is to be activated by a global hot key.
I'm using nw.js (formerly Node-Webkit) to create this application, so ideally, the solution would be javascript running in a desktop installation of Node.js. If this is not practical, I understand that I can call platform specific code from nw.js, so solutions developed in any desktop os language would be of interest.
My application targets OS X and Windows.
I'm hoping to capture metadata from all major modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE 10+).
At a minimum I need to capture the page url, but I also want to capture Keywords, Description and highlighted text for the source web page.
I need to implement this function without modifying the source webpage in any way, and I prefer to avoid the need for browser extensions, bookmarklets or plugins.
If a solution exists using a remote controlled browser extension (no user interaction) that would be of interest, but ideally I want to avoid requiring the end user to install or interact with anything but my application.
My search to date has located no information on reading web page information from applications outside the browser.
Any thoughts or leads are much appreciated.
I'd like to create a web page which can access a body sensor on an Android tablet (to detect if someone is standing in front of the tablet).
I'd love to do this with a web page (an actual web page, not a PhoneGap/Cordova app). I've seen demos of accessing the webcam from a web page via HTML5/JS in Opera. I'd love to do the same with a body sensor.
Is there ANY way to achieve this? I'm okay with using a browser plugin if necessary or even a customed Android browser (that supports HTML5/CSS3).
Alternatively, is this even possible with PhoneGap/Cordova?
I'm planning to make a login system by USB, so if you put in a USB-drive and open a specific webpage, the website asks the USB-drive for the code (e.g. by a JavaScript file, a redirect or something like that).
The problem is, because of sandboxing, you can't load or redirect to local files. I don't know a solution for this problem. Can you guys help me? I don't need specific code, just an example or something in that way.
Maybe you can read up on USB-HID. Wikipedia:
The USB human interface device class (USB HID class) is a part of the USB specification for computer peripherals: it specifies a device class (a type of computer hardware) for human interface devices such as keyboards, mice, game controllers and alphanumeric display devices.
Here are some references:
USB HID (Human Interface Device)
node-hid - Access USB HID devices from node.js
DepthJS: 'Allows any web page to interact with the Microsoft Kinect using Javascript'.
A related Stackoverflow question:
Write data to USB HID using Javascript, HTML5, or any cross platform language (supports Android)
One other possibility is to check out the Chrome HID (Human Interface Device) APIs:
Interacting with USB HID devices from web apps – via Chrome Apps, see below
Relevant Chrome API docs
Please note that for the time being, you cannot interact directly with the USB device (i.e. you cannot access any WebAPI offering that kind of fine-grained control).
Building a Chrome App (different from a Chrome Extension) may help; This article may point you in the right direction, since it also provides sample code.
The only way I can think of is putting a html file on the usb stick that essentially generates some sort of login token and gives you a link or a form to a login processor. You can then access the webpage by opening the local file first which will redirect you to the actual webpage.
This local script may include a javascript from the server to get some challenge-response-data which it hashes somehow (perhaps in combination with a password) and puts it into the form data.
Web PKI authentication from Modern Browsers may be achieved by using Browser Extension. One such extension is Signer.Digital browser extension. Use below Javascript promises from the APIs provided by Signer.Digital extension.
SignerDigital.getSelectedCertificate() to register user's certificate
SignerDigital.signHash(hash) to sign token at browser and verify at server
For all Javascript APIs refer to SO Answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/63173083/9659885
Disclaimer : I work for a company supporting the application below
Hello, you may try to use Nexu open-source application for communication with smartcards or USB tokens. It also support PKCS 12 keystores.
For example, the application is connected to the DSS webpage on the website of European Commission : see the link.
I don't know if I googled it correctly but I could not find the answer for my question.
I'd like to know if it's possible to code a html5 with javascript (maybe jquery mobile for the UI) and css without using "native compilers/builders" like sencha touch or phonegap and store the page locally (using file:// protocol).
E.g: Let's say that I want to build a simple HTML5 calculator. I don't want any server-side processing, I just want some html buttons to call javascript functions to perform client side only operations. If I make such page, let's call it calc.html and download it to the mobile (via usb/http download), can I open this calc.html with the internal browser and use the calculator? Or do I have to compile/build this calc.html into a Webview (for Android) or something like it to get it done?
Would this work for Android, IPhone, Windows Phone and others with localStorage/sessionStorage?
You want an Offline Web Application.
This article seems to explains step by step how to do this.
http://diveintohtml5.info/offline.html
Creating a website like this, will allow you to bookmark it and have a shortcut icon in the phone's dashboard that will allow you to load your page in the browser for those cases where you don't have a data connection. In the case where the phone has a data connection, it will load the manifest to check if there are any new files to update the application. I don't think there is a way to make it truly offline though.
To begin, I'm sorry for my awful english :)
I have a web application that will communicate frequently with a server running a
webservice offering JSON / XML. The application will send contact details / bills / products, and will have to manage an offline mode.
I thought to use this DOM cache (HTML5). However I must have constantly an updated customer list, bills etc. in offline mode because I can not make a request to the server.
It is therefore necessary to have an xml file on the mobile ... which will be read and modified. Is it possible and not too difficult to manage XML plaintext database with ExtJS (or another framework) on a mobile? (Android)
Thanks.
It's far easier to do with HTML5 storage, which you can use directly without the need for Sencha Touch API calls (providing you're on a supported device, iOS Safari supports web storage).
Have a read of this article from the Sencha blog.
Have a look at Lawnchair - this can be included in your app without a framework.
If you decide to use Sencha Touch you can use localStorage, which allows you to store key/value pairs in the HTML5 Web Storage on the device.
See this tutorial on the Sencha website. You could use localStorage to cache your json feed whilst making static assets available offline with a cache manifest file.
