Kaspersky Anti Virus 6 and Subversion problems

I've spent a good part of my day today in trying to understand why I can't checkout our subversion repository. I was getting this: svn: REPORT of '/svn/repos/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request google searches would make you think it's a proxy issue but I don't use or need one so after a lot of trial and errors I've found out that if you use Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 it seems that if you use the Web Anti-Virus options with the recommended settings and you have the "Scan HTTP traffic" option on you end up with the problem above. It seems Kaspersky doesn't like the HTTP packets subversion uses so they get blocked. I really like Kaspersky and I recommend it to all but I hope they will address this issue as soon as possible as subversion is becoming the main open source VCS system. Any tips on this issue are welcome.

Relaxing SSL validation for JaxWS

I've recently had the need to access a web service developed in .Net and signed with a self signed certificate. I've decided to use the JaxWS and the Metro stack to develop the client and run it on Java6. As a plus, the service was protected with username and password. The service was exposed on an IP address and I repetedly had problems in establishing a connection. In the end, thanks to this article, it was obvious that the certificate was not created with the alternative name attribute but it was not an option to change the certificate as the web service was already used by other consumers (.net clients don't suffer by this issue). So, on my quest to relax the validation, I've found out this article and code snippet, which did not compile at first (I guess package names were changed in JDK6) so I've did some trivial refactoring and now, after invoking the static methods in the client code, the SSL connection gets validated with no problems. Hope it helps and th...

Turning off Asus M50S light sensor

As I've recently gotten this nice laptop, I've found that the light sensor really makes more problems then it solves so I'm shutting it down in both Windows (Fn+A) and in Linux. Under linux all you need to do is: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch This fix is valid only for the current session, to persist the settings just install sysfsutils and then in /etc/sysfs.conf put devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch=0
