Question about hosting - Flex/Coldfusion

I'm wanting to use Flex to display Coldfusion info.
just went through the tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/fcf_getting_started_coldfusion_flex_02.html and I got the example to work on my local machine. I was also able to do the same with my own data. But the example uses remoting services and I don't know what my hosting providers have on their servers.
I'm using CrystalTech.com, which is an Adobe partner. But they said they didn't offer Flash remoting on their shared servers.
I'm not sure if Flash remoting is what I need to get Flash to access the cfc's.
Can someone tell me if I need to switch hosts (which would be a real pain) and look for a host that has Flash remoting or if that is even what I need?
Thanks,
Richie

A bit odd.. I haven't come across any shared hosting with Remoting disabled yet.
Have you tried accessing the remoting gateway?
Should be something like:
http://yourdomain.com/flex2gateway/
You normally get to see a blank page.
If remoting is disabled, you should still be able to access Coldfusion CFC's as webservices.
To achieve this, simply add "?wsdl" to the url of the cfc - without the quotes.
Here's an example:
http://muzakdeezign.com/services/be/pylos/site/NewsSelect.cfc?wsdl
In Flex you access them using a WebService tag instead of a RemoteObject tag.

  • Questions about  hosting and integration of jsp

    hi,
    I have been searching about jsp for a while and i need to ask some question which confuse me.
    First, I have been looking for hosting for jsp but i haven't yet found a useful one.
    And hosting is pretty expensive than php hosting especially in turkey. Do you suggest some international hosting which price is agreable. Also I couldnt find any commercial site (except ibm, java.sun) which is implemented in jsp, if you know some, give some instance.
    Php is much more widespread than jsp. but it still has some disadvantages of being opensource. but lately, I have read an article about sun has started to support php, According to this supprort, can php has an advantage on jsp.

    Dear dudushr,
    This is not at all a pbm.
    what u can do is,
    write ur servlet class and configure that in ur web.xml.(put servlet class in ur WEB-INF/classes dir)
    now in the action part of form tag call the url (just configured in web.xml) for this servlet.
    after executing the query and doing further process within the servlet ,use RequestDispatcher's forward method to pass this values to ur jsp.
    try it and let me know..
    cheers..

  • Question about host identifier definition

    Hi,
    I've created a webgate and define the "Preferred HTTP Host" as the hostname where the web app is deployed. It seems ok that the webgate will protect the URL containing the hostname. But after I've authenticated, when I change the hostname to the IP address directly in the same explorer and request the resource again, it will ask me to re-authenticate. In my expectation, I don't need to re-authenticate....
    Is there anything wrong with my host identifiers defintion? I've already added the corresponding IP address into the host identifier list.
    Please help to give me some advice, thanks.

    Hi,
    The host identifiers are OK, this is happening because the web server first sets the cookie for the servername, and does not accept it for the n.n.n.n name - effectively you are using different domains (from a cookie perspective), even though it is the same web server. To solve it, you could just put the server name in the Challenge Redirect parameter in the authentication scheme to
    http://servername.mydomain.com
    and then OAM will set the cookies as necessary, exactly the same as configuring OAM for multi-domain SSO.

  • Basic questions about hosting

    hi everyone, i hope i am posting in the correct forum...
    i have just finished a website (designed with dreamweaver) and i am ready to upload it online. the website is very simple (html), has no flash or animations, only pictures and has a total 50MB worth of files.
    i am having many troubles deciding how to book a suitable hosting and monthly traffic for the website. I hear that 1GB monthly traffic limit might be enough. I don´t know how this exactly works but what i think is that if someone visits the website and checks every single picture, is that already 50MB traffic just from that one visit??
    plus, i am overload with options from different hosting providers and it´s very hard to know which are over priced and which are the most reliable ones. it´d be great to know from other people´s experience which are the best providers.

    Hi--
    I don´t know how this exactly works but what
    i think is that if someone visits the website and
    checks every single picture, is that already 50MB
    traffic just from that one visit??
    Yes, that's pretty much right. It might be somewhat less than 50MB, though. Some website elements, like your style sheet, might be cached by the visitor. In that case, they might only load once per visit, reducing the traffic counted against you.

  • Security question about hosting multple websites at ~/Sites

    Hi All, I wish to host multiple websites from my server running Mac OS X Server 10.4. I just wanted to know if there are any security risks involved in having sites running from the path ~/Sites. ie /Users/username/Sites/ I am running the machine as a standalone server with port forwarding from my router. Other: Running PHP 4 and MySQL 4 aswell. Is this the wrong way to host sites? If so, do you have any suggestions for other paths that may be more secure? Would it be more secure to host them from the default location /Library/WebServer/Documents? I have FTP set up so that authenticated users see home directory only and have set up users home directories as /Users/username/Sites in the workgroup manager. Is there a better way to set this whole thing up? Am I screwing it from the start? Thanks in advance...

    If the user directories are just for hosting sites, the user's won't be using them to store their stuff with an expectations of privacy, there's no inherent insecurity doing it this way. If the users were using their home directories, then it may come as a shock that the read and browse permissions have to be turned on so that the web server can get to the Sites folder to serve pages.
    MySQL is a popular database. I would venture to say that most database insecurity is the fault of the DBA, not the database itself.
    PHP scripts are listed in the security ezines a lot. I don't know whether PHP is inherently insecure, so simple that people who really don't know how to program can program with it or other reasons.
    OSX server isn't an OS I'd trust exposed to the Internet. Apple's done things that make it at least very hard, if not impossible (I haven't really sat down and fought it) to lock it down well.

  • Question about 'hosts: cluster' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf

    Hi~
    my system have "hosts: cluster files dns" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
    I know 'files' to see the '/etc/hosts'.
    I want to know that 'cluster' to see 'what file'.
    Thanks,

    'cluster' denotes internal lookups, i.e. no file on the file system. If I recall correctly, it allows the system to look up the cluster interconnect private addresses.

  • Questions about supporting TLF with Halo components in Flex 4.1

    We recently decided to upgrade to the Flex 4.1 SDK after a year or so at 3.2.  We have been asked to not use the new SPARK components yet because our products would then have a mistmatch of Halo and Spark components in the UI.  We have built support for our Halo components to display html through the ".htmlText" property for the Text components.  For example, we can display strings such as "<p>Choose <b>one</b> option:</p>".  With the upgrade to Flex 4.1 a couple of questions about supporting bi-directional text have come up.  My understanding is that in order to support bi-directional text we need to use the Text Layout Framework.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how we can utilize the TLF with the Halo components in Flex 4.1?    Can we still use the ".htmlText" property somehow or is there a new property that understands the TextFormat markup?  We would love to still be able to use the limited html tags that are supported for the "htmlText" property.  Is there an option where that syntax is still understood?
    Thanks in advance!
    David

    The halo components use TextField, and the spark components use TLF. Both sets have support for some html markup to import and export text. To use bidi text, you have to use TLF; TextField won't work properly.
    It is possible to use TLF to build your own components, and this can work well particularly for applications with specialized needs. But if you need bidi support for advanced components like DataGrid and List, then you should use the spark components.
    Thanks!

  • Some questions about building  a plug in

    Hello,
    1.I'm trying to build a plug in ( for EM12c release 2 ) for my standalone java application - which exposes mbeans whom i want to collect some metrics with.
    It's been a while since i started to build it - and I asked quite a lot of quesions about it - because the documnets supplied with the EDK and
    the books ( ProgrammersGuide, ProgrammersReferece and the README file ) are not very clear to me ( I'm a newbie with EM in general .. )
    So far some of the questions got answered and were very halpfull with this long process. BUT, there are some questions that nobody answered yet.
    I'm quite "stuck" with it. I'm talking about the questions in : Re: A question about updating metadata files in plug in
    I have a deadline for this plug in ( which is very close ..) so this the reason I post this new message.
    I will appriciate any help about those questions .
    2. Regarding the above, ( hoping to have an answered soon ..) I'm trying another way to buils this plug in:
    In the README file there is this section( 3.6 : using MPCUI ) . I read the programmersReference ( chapter 8 ) and followed the instructions both in the README file and the ProgrammersReference .
    For a begining, I just wanted to modify a small thing in the example supplied ( Demo Host System ) just to get started with something .
    So i modify the file which contains the label ' Select member ... ' ( i don't remember the name of the file since the project is in my office , and I can't copy/paste ..- I think the the file icontians the name ' ConfirmationTarget .xml - it's one of the pages seen while adding a target ) .
    I i changed it , i build the project ( using FlexBuilder) but did not use ANT as it's says in the README - the eclipse IDE build this file automatically
    ( HostSystem.swf  in bin-debug dir as it says in the README ) . I copied this file to stage_dir/oms/metadata/mpcui .
    i build a new plug in ( i incremented the version of it ) - no errors, everty thing was fine .I also copied this file to the oms server ( it wasn't there before )
    and than run the commad ' emctl register oms ...' as it says in section 3.6 - and o got 'Success' eventually .
    Now, when i opened the EM console , hoping to see tge change i made ( again , it's just a change of the title of the step while adding the target , and adding another menuitem to the 3 item that were alreay there ( CPU, FS, etc ) .
    I believe wad i did is right- i mean changing in the right file and place ( there is no title like like this in any oter source file in the whole project )
    but still, I didn't see any change! it seems execatly as it was befoer the change ..
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    Regarding your question #2. Please read my response here carefully as it covers a number of different issues.
    1. Ant is not required to build the SWF file in your plug-in. It is an OPTION. Section 8.27 describes the different development options using either Ant or FlexBuilder.
    2. You do NOT need to ever copy a SWF file to any location under the OMS runtime. You need to include it in the stage area and then either build an OPAR or use emctl to incrementally update the deployed plug-in. It has to either be deployed as part of the plug-in deployment or updated incrementally using emctl register oms metadata. Section 8.27.2.6 describes the specific steps to do this incremental update.
    Steps to update the SWF associated with demo_hostsample. These are covered in the README and in chapter 8.
    1. deploy the demo_hostsample plug-in as described in the README
    2. create an instance of the Host Sample target type through manually discovery (Add Targets->Add Non-Host Target Specifying Properties)
    3. using the demo_hostsample.zip project in Flex Builder, modify some part of the code, for example, modify the line containing label="Current Status" to label="My New Label"
    4. rebuild the SWF, to be sure you can to a Clean build of the demo_hostsample project
    5. ensure there is an updated copy of the HostSample.swf under demo_hostsample\mpcui\bin-debug (NOT bin-release, unless you Exported A Release Build)
    6. copy that updated HostSample.swf file to the location on the OMS machine where you unzipped and built the OPAR for the demo_hostsample plug-in
    7. cd to the stage/oms/metadata/mpcui directory and replace the current HostSample.swf with the one you just built (BE SURE ITS THE UPDATED FILE)
    8. execute the command "emctl register oms metadata -sysman_pwd sysman -pluginId oracle.sysman.ohs -service mpcui -file demo_hostsample_uimd_swf.xml (BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT sysman_pwd)
    At this point you should be able to go to the homepage for the Host Sample target you created and see the changes.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

  • Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

    I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
    After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
    displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
    pages and workflow.
    Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

    Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
    that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
    and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
    is hosted by another server.
    By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
    on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out.  XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
    alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

  • Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

    I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
    #1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
    #2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
    #3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
    #4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
    #5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
    Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

    No.  An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications:  200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    4.) Most difficult...
    I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
    Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
    Cannot help you there.
    5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
    You are not obligated to use iTunes.
    6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
    All MBPs have back lighted keyboards.  Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.
    Ciao.

  • Question about Kurts comments discussing the seperation of AIA & CDP - Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy - Kurt L Hudson MSFT

    Question about the sentence in bold. What is the meaning behind this comment?
    How would you separate the role of the AIA and CDP from a CA subordinate server? I can see where I add a CES and CEP server which has those as well, but I don't completely understand his comment. Because in this second step, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tlg-key-based-renewal.aspx)
    he shows how to implement CES and CEP.
    This is from the guide located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
    Step 3: Configure APP1 to distribute certificates and CRLs
    In the extensions of the root CA, it was stated that the CRL from the root CA would be available via http://www.contoso.com/pki. Currently, there is not a PKI virtual directory on APP1, so one must be created.
    In a production environment, you would typically separate the issuing CA role from the role of hosting the AIA and CDP.
    However, this lab combines both in order to reduce the number of resources needed to complete the lab.
    Thanks,

    My concern is, they have a 2-3k base of xp systems, over this year they are migrating them to Windows 7. During this time they will also be upgrading hardware for the existing windows 7 machines. The turnover of certificates are going to be high, which
    from what I've read here, it worries me.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/06/24/implementing-an-ocsp-responder-part-i-introducing-ocsp.aspx
    The application then can go to those locations to download the CRL. There are, however, some potential issues with this scenario. CRLs over time can get rather large
    depending on the number of certificates issued and revoked. If CRLs grow to a large size, and many clients have to download CRLs, this can have a negative impact on network performance. More importantly, by
    default Windows clients will timeout after 15 seconds while trying to download a CRL. Additionally,
    CRLs have information about every currently valid certificate that has been revoked, which is an excessive amount of data given the fact that an application may only need the revocation status for a few certificates. So,
    aside from downloading the CRL, the application or the OS has to parse the CRL and find a match for the serial number of the certificate that has been revoked.
    With the above limitations, which mostly revolve around scalability, it is clear that there are some drawbacks to using CRLs. Hence, the introduction of Online Certificate
    Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP reduces the overhead associated with CRLs. There are server/client components to OCSP: The OCSP responder, which is the server component, and the OCSP Client. The OCSP Responder accepts status
    requests from OCSP Clients. When the OCSP Responder receives the request from the client it then needs to determine the status of the certificate using the serial number presented by the client. First the OCSP Responder determines if it has any cached responses
    for the same request. If it does, it can then send that response to the client. If there is no cached response, the OCSP Responder then checks to see if it has the CRL issued by the CA cached locally on the OCSP. If it does, it can check the revocation status
    locally, and send a response to the client stating whether the certificate is valid or revoked. The response is signed by the OCSP Signing Certificate that is selected during installation. If the OCSP does not have the CRL cached locally, the OCSP Responder
    can retrieve the CRL from the CDP locations listed in the certificate. The OCSP Responder then can parse the CRL to determine the revocation status, and send the appropriate response to the client.
