Re: [CODE4LIB] Loris
Hi Andrew, Not exactly sure what sort of differences you're after... Do you mean the difference between this: http://iipimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/protocol/ (and it's 74 page reference: http://iipimage.sourceforge.net/IIPv105.pdf ) And this: http://www-sul.stanford.edu/iiif/image-api/1.1/ ?

But, beyond that, time will tell. One nice thing about coding against a well-thought-out spec is that are lots of implementations from which you can choose[1]--though as far as I know Loris is the only one that supports the IIIF syntax natively (maybe IIP?). We still have Djatoka floating around in a few places here, but, as many people have noted over the years, it takes a lot of shimming to scale it up, and, as far as I know, the project has more or less been abandoned. I haven't done too much in the way of benchmarking, but to date don't have any reason to think Loris can't perform just as well. The demo I sent earlier is working against a very large jp2 with small tiles[1] which means a lot of rapid hits on the server, and between that, (a little bit of) JMeter and ab testing, and a fair bit of concurrent use from the c4l community this afternoon, I feel fairly confident about it being able to perform as well as Djatoka in a production environment. By the way, you can page through some other images here: http://libimages.princeton.edu/osd-demo/ Not much of an answer, I realize, but, as I said, time and usage will tell. -Js 1. http://iiif.io/apps-demos.html 2. http://libimages.princeton.edu/loris/pudl0052%2F6131707%2F0001.jp2/info.json On 11/8/13 8:07 PM, Peter Murray wrote: A clarifying question: is Loris effectively a Python-based replacement for the Java-based djatoka [1] server?

Re: [CODE4LIB] We should use HTTPS on code4lib.org
Hi All, If code4lb.org switched to HTTPS by default, can their content still be archived by the Internet Archive? thanks, ranti.

The current code4lib server has been here at OSU longer than I have (and I've been here for 8+ years), and it's at MOST running at about 25% CPU capacity. Pushing everything over HTTPS is probably fine too. As for additional administrative overhead, if someone else wants to manage the certificate procurement and renewal, it takes me about 5 minutes every year to put a new certificate in place and then restart Apache once I have a certificate file.

Re: [CODE4LIB] We should use HTTPS on code4lib.org
I haven't played much with requesting a page be archived, so it's only a handful of links I had tried. From what Eric Hellman posted about hiccups, it doesn't sound like https is a barrier if you set up the site and want to allow archiving. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 5:29 PM, Karen Coyle li...@kcoyle.net wrote: The Archive says they can, but I've asked WR for the files she had trouble with and they'll try them out. To be sure, there wasn't a huge amount of testing that took place, so glitches are not unsurprising. kc On 11/9/13 3:13 PM, Wilhelmina Randtke wrote: I don't think Internet Archive will view https sites.
