When do I use kSOAP?

In my Code Project article, I explained how to use kSOAP library in Android for SOAP web services.


For a long time I have been using REST web services to feed my mobile applications. There are two library alternatives(that's what I used) to consume REST web service on Android: Apache HTTP Client and HttpURLConnection. 


For the new devices(2.3 and higher), I use HttpURLConnection which is provided by Google and supports built-in compression via a simple attribute. Nonetheless, on the older versions of Android OS(2.2 and lower), Apache's solution is more stable than the HttpURLConnection.


Currently, I am developing my mobile applications using PhoneGap which facilitates with jQuery very well. Since I like using simple jQuery methods such as getJSON() and ajax() to invoke REST web services, I move my web service calls to jQuery methods. By this way, the calls become very similar to the ones on the web site of the same project.


For the small projects which run in all .NET environment(servers and clients all .NET) I still use SOAP style web services since it is very easy to write and consume on .NET environments.

Space Character Problem on IE 6, 7, and 8

Also recently, I found out that in IE 6, 7, 8, extra space characters between HTML elements are not rendered as intended. For instance regular space character ( ) is rendered without the space on older version of IE (older than 9) a   b Result in IE 6, 7, 8: ab Whereas, if you use CSS (e.g. margin-right: 4px), all versions of IE renders it correctly a b Result in all IEs: a b

IN TRANSIT AT REST SSL/TLS Server Side Managed Keys Client Side Managed Keys S3 (SSE-S3) Each object is encrypted with a key. Amazon encrypts the key with a master key, which rotates regularly. AWS Key Management Service (SSE-KMS) Allows you to audit trail (who and when used the key), extra cost and you manage the master key. Customer provided (SSE-C) User manages the keys but encryption done by Amazon User encrypts the data on client-side and uploads to S3
