An API is a defined way for a program to carry out a task, the detailed set of instructions to repeatedly perform the same assignment. Because a site such as Twitter requires users to log in and provide an associated password, programmers using associated APIs to interact with Twitter can encounter username and password issues.
Password Requirements
Twitter itself has no password length limit for its users. As a result, the Twitter API similarly does not have a maximum ceiling regarding password length. The same combination of letters, numbers and characters that comprise a password for a Twitter login will crossover within the Twitter API world. Any sequence of characters -- with the exception of white space -- is acceptable.
Twitter API Uses
Programmers can turn to the Twitter API to create an application that combines Twitter's capabilities with a programmer's own site. Programmers can also use API to simplify a user's experience with Twitter on a mobile device or to provide any number of related services. In these cases, a programmer can prompt for a user to provide her Twitter username and password without the third-party program itself actually storing the password. The developers section of Twitter dedicates a portion of its space to an API FAQ for additional information.
Warnings
Even though the Twitter API does not have a password length limit, programmers who intend for their users' submissions to still interact with Twitter must pay attention to length limits when it comes to the tweets themselves, which are limited to 140 characters. The Twitter API FAQ provides an explanation to programmers on how to expedite the process of counting characters.

HyperText Transfer Protocol and HTTP Secure are used for viewing and interacting with Web pages. When you request a website via your browser, the program sends a message to the server requesting the content of the page. The server responds, usually by sending back the page's content together with data the browser uses to render it correctly. These messages rely on HTTP. HTTPS is used for websites with additional security requirements, such as payment pages for online retailers, where you enter credit card details to make purchases.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol facilitates the uploading and downloading of Internet content. FTP client programs interpret and send messages to and from a server using the FTP protocol. Developers use these tools to create a connection to a Web server, then upload and download website material, including HTML files, server scripts, client scripts, Cascading Style Sheets files, media items and more.
TCP and IP
Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol frameworks provide the means for computers to communicate within a network. These protocols facilitate Internet functions at the level of servers -- the machines providing content and services -- and the client machines accessing and using that content. When you browse a website, your computer is the client, while the computer, or computers, hosting the site are the servers. The TCP and IP systems describe the messages sent between the computers to facilitate this process.
Email
Email uses multiple protocols, including Internet Message Access Protocol, Post Office Protocol 3 and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, designed to be used in conjunction with the IP system, to transfer email messages between computers on the Internet. Some email providers use webmail, where you log into a Web page to access email messages, while others use desktop clients, which are programs designed specifically to fetch and manage email messages, as well as allowing you to send new messages. Email protocols outline the structure of the messages required by these programs and the email providers, to provide functionality.

Setting Up a Proxy Server in LinuxIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Proxy servers help provide access to blocked websites, allow users to browse websites anonymously and are an easy way to make some extra money for aspiring webmasters. However, before you can begin using your proxy server, you will need to set one up. Many webmasters choose Linux as a base for a proxy server because it is a versatile, free, open-source operating system that can be used to support numerous variants of software. Linux is also used on the majority of web servers, whether they have proxies or not.
Server Requirements
The first conditions you are going to need in order to set up a proxy server on Linux is a high amount of bandwidth and a good server where the software will be installed. Without a high amount of bandwidth, you will not be able to support the constant use of your server. Also, if you do not have hardware that can respond to user requests quickly, proxy server users will look elsewhere.
Proxy Server Choices
There are several options when it comes to what script you will use for your Linux server. Several scripts that are commonly used include Glype, CGI proxy and PHP proxy. Each script has its pros and cons; however, Glype is the most commonly used out of all three. Some of the advantages to Glype include its easy installation--you literally upload a few files and have a functional proxy. Also, Glype is open source, like Linux, a major advantage in the online community.CGI proxy is much more resource intensive than Glype and also does not offer the ability to browse secured websites. PHP proxy is a lightweight solution for your proxy server and is also open source. Whether you end up choosing Glype, CGI proxy or PHP proxy, each program comes with easy installation instructions and is very simple to set up on your proxy server.
Proxy Server Setup
Most of the programs involve downloading the source code for the programs, uploading the files via FTP and possibly changing the permissions for some of the files. However, nearly every program does not require anything more difficult than that. Once you have the files uploaded, you might need to run an installation script, depending on which proxy program you chose. Make sure that you delete the installation folder of your proxy after you have installed; leaving it online may allow your proxy to be reset.
Conclusion
Setting up a proxy on a Linux server is not difficult. You simply need a domain name, FTP account, proxy program and some technical knowledge. Once you have determined which proxy program you are going to use, simply upload and install it following the specific program's instructions, and you will be ready to use a proxy that will be able to help you browse the web anonymously.

How to Start an Online Book ClubIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Decide what type of online book club you want to start.Before doing anything else, think about what type of book club you would like. Do you want to focus on a certain genre, a certain author, or a particular group of books. Or, would you rather leave the choice of books wide open for more variety?
Establish guidelines, rules and a schedule.Prior to building your site and recruiting members, create some basic guidelines, rules and a simple schedule. You may want to adjust these later as your group evolves, but it's beneficial to have some policies in place. Visit a few other online book clubs to get an idea of the kind of rules you might want to implement, including membership requirements, how books will be chosen, when they will be discussed, how any spoilers will be posted and a schedule for reading.
Select a forum hosting service.You can build your own website from scratch if you have the knowledge and time, but a much quicker and easier way is to sign up to host your own forum. There are a number of sites that offer free forums, but they do come with limitations and usually some ads. Other sites offer low-priced forum hosting with more options than free hosting. Choose your host carefully, since it can be difficult and frustrating to change services after your board is established, and you may lose members during a switchover. InvisionFree is a popular choice for free forum hosting, and iPowerweb is a top choice for paid forum hosting. Check the Additional Resources section for links to these two providers.
Build your site.Following the instructions provided by your hosting service, build and customize your forum. Consider including areas for discussion of the current book you are reading, discussion of other books, and for general off-topic discussion to give your members a chance to get to know each other better.
Build membership.Once your site is up and running, you are ready to begin recruiting members. Start by scanning your email address list for possible members, then expand your search by posting about your new group in book-related forums and on free classified ad sites like Craigslist. In addition to recruiting online, post flyers in libraries, bookstores and other places where you might find interested members.
Choose your first book.Using the guidelines you created in Step 2, choose your first book, remind members of the guidelines, and begin reading and enjoying your new online book club.
