Besides, she sends spam to Switzerland citizen, which most probably don’t give a dam for what she thinks. Michigan voters are probably in need for another Congresswoman the next time they elect someone.

65 knots. Probably too much for an A-Cat. I predict trees on the street and power-outages.

1875 days uptime on a Solaris 9 server. That translates to about 5 years and 50 days. When has your windows server lasted more than 30 days ?

SharePoint is the bane to system administrators everywhere. This thing is so obscure, and so few people have got an idea how to properly interact with it…
Anyway, after hours of googling, I found an easy method to upload a file to a sharepoint server : curl. Sharepoint supports HTTP PUT commands, but wants NTLM authentication. Initially, I thought I could use this :
import httplib2
bytes = open(filename, ‘rb’).read()
h = httplib2.Http()
h.add_credentials(user, password)
resp, content = h.request(url, “PUT”, body=bytes, headers={‘content-type’:'text/plain’} )
Well, it works only for BasicAuth servers. However, $harepoint wants the proprietary NTLM auth scheme, and httplib2′s python wonder can’t produce NTLM…
So back to the root : what tool can do HTTP and NTLM ? curl. This works for me :
curl –ntlm -u domain\\user:password -T /etc/hosts https://sp.domain.com/dirspec/hosts
Well, I’m not very proud of forking curl from my scripts, but it works. Pycurl is probably the next step to elegance.
