I'm trying to help a developer who is trying to harden a web server against server-side request forgery. In short, I've wrote a script that sends a "forged" HTTP request which we will use to test against the server until it is configured to not respond to such manipulated requests. I'm getting an error on Invoke-WebRequest: "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'" and while I've tried a ton of different combos of the below code I cannot get it to fly. Any thoughts? (Note: my-ef.example.com below is not the actual host)

I need to get token to connect to API. Tried with python this:

My Question: What exactly does “compile-time” mean? I present my understanding below and where I am getting confused.

Compilation is the process that generates a single executable .exe file from the .vb file. There are several ways to do this, for example by using the VBC.EXE command from the developer command window or MSDOS. The way I understand “compile-time” is that it is time when such a command gets executed and the exe file is generated. The following are the what I find confusing:

1. When I write Dim i = 5, the compiler infers or “knows” that the variable “i” is an integer.
2. If I want to print an integer or a string using the Writeline method of the console class then the compiler automatically determines which overloaded version it should call. So in this case also the compiler “knows” – this is also known as compile-time polymorphism.

My confusion: Since in both the above cases the compiler infers or knows the type of variable or the version of the overloaded method to call just after we have finished typing the sentence, is this also called compile-time? We have not given any sort of compilation command here.

1. Another confusion on the definition of compile-time refers to the case when we explicitly define overloaded methods. In the case of the writeline method, we know from the pop-up given by intellisense that immediately after we have finished typing the sentence the version with the correct signature is called. Now, when we define overloaded methods does the compiler know which version to call when we call the function (depending on signature) somewhere in the program right after we have finished typing the code? Or does the compiler know this after the exe file has been generated? This is a case of compile-time polymorphism. But then which time or which step is the “compile-time”?

I am trying to check if latitude and longitude exist in my SQL database, as currently when they are undefined, it leaves my web app blank on load with the following error TypeError: Cannot read property 'latitude' of undefined

My code was originally

Sometimes I find myself needing to initialize an object with a property that matches the property of another object. When the property name is the same, I want to be able to use shorthand syntax.

(For the purposes of the examples in this question, I'll just keep the additional properties to a tag: 1 property, and I'll reuse message in subsequent examples as the input/source of the information. I also indicate an extra unwanted property of message because I'm cherry-picking properties and do not intend to just use Object.assign to assign all the properties of message to the result.)

First migration file:

I want to use the built-in secrets feature in .NET Core and it is not working for me and I don't understand why I am doing exactly what is needed. I would appreciate it if you can help me and let me know what is missing.

In the developers commands I run this:

WWDC21 introduces Swift 5.5, with async/await. Following the Explore structured concurrency in Swift and Meet async/await in Swift WWDC21 sessions, I'm trying to use the async let function.

Here's my Playground code:

This question is related to Azure MSIX Build and Package task only has Release and Debug configurations

We have a WinForms project that has an MSIX installer. Manually, we can successfully create

1. An MSIXBUNDLE and deploy it to Kudu
2. An MSIX and deploy it to an Azure VM through a VHDX. We have manually convert the MSIX to a VHDX first

We are now trying to automate the build and release process to create the VHDX. However, we are getting a blank screen when the VHDX is mounted using a process that we have already validated. The only thing different is the build method (i.e., MSBuild versus VS Publish).

How do we create a working VHDX in Azure CI Build Pipeline?

Below is the YAML.
