How to : Set Android WebView HTTP Referrer programmatically

In Android, you may use the webview.LoadData to show html. using the following code,

public class WebViewTestActivity extends Activity { WebView wv; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.mainbrownser); wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wv); wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); wv.loadData( "<img src='http://images.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif'>", "text/html", "UTF-8"); } }

When you run the app, you can see the google logo there,


however, if you try to access some image whose server will check the referrer, you will be in trouble to viewing the image.
by default, the webview doesn’t setup the referrer when fetching html resouces,


I searched a lot, there is no explicit way to setup the referrer . after checking the webview source code, here is the trick to setup the referrer, using the loaddatawithbaseurl, the baseurl will be the referrer picked by webview

Code,

wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("http://wwwgoogle.com/myreferrer", "<img src='http://images.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif?a=1'>", "text/html", "UTF-8","");

How to get the SOS.DLL for silverlight 4.0.60310.0 for windbg

If you want to do the Silverlight debugging using windbg, the first thing is you have to get the sos extension for Silverlight.
When I try to run the command ‘.loadby sos coreclr’

get the error , it can’t find the sos.dll, in the silverlight folder,


I try to google “how to get the sos.dll for silverglight4.’, nothing is helpful, then I spend a little time to figure out how to get the sos.dll. So here is the answer,

1. Install visual studio 2010, if you are a developer, you probably have already installed the IDE
2. this is important, Download and install the Microsoft Silverlight 4.0 SDK

that’s IT.


#1 is very important, if you skip it and install the SDK only, it wont install the sos.dll for you.
