VirtualHost browser cache

Setting up a virtual host on PC, Mac or Linux isn’t difficult, but the browser cache problem drives me crazy.

Disable iPhone EDGE

前一阵子试着用SFTP通过Wireless network连接到iPhone上, 研究file system的结构. 发现和MaxOS的却别不大, 而且相当的相近. 由于英国这边O2和Apple合作, 1.1.2版本后的Firmwire会不现实EDGE的设置, 如果不是签合共来的 - Jailbreak/Unlock, 那EDGE的开销可不是个小数目. 7.5英镑每兆。 那些说用第二张 Sim Card把EDGE设定界面弄出来再换成O2卡的方法基本上是没有用的. 另外一个就是用Mac的Property list editor 直接修改O2_UK.plist. 加一个 ‘AllowEDGEEditing’ key 和 value ‘true’ 到你的property list中, 然后保存, 上传这个文件到同样的位置并且覆盖原来的文件. 现在到General-> Network 就能看到EDGE的按钮再次出现. 最后随便输入一个用户名和密码就可以了, 目的是不让手机找到EDGE的网络. 以前用BossPrefs 虽然避免了数据的交换, 但是账户还是登陆了EDGE网络, 所以上面修改EDGE Login是最安全的方法.
