Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Are you sure you want to quit Safari? Post 303032397 by Neo on Saturday 16th of March 2019 01:10:25 AM

Yeah, thanks.

I had a similar issue recently when my automatic 2AM scheduled shutdown of the MacPro happens with the Terminal app open. I would wake up and see the Mac was in "do you really want to quit the terminal" mode and not shut down (man, I hate that .. LOL), but I found a preferences option to avoid this problem.

Now, when testing web dev apps in Safari, especially on login and registration pages where there are passwords to save, Safari will also stop an automatic shutdown. That's annoying for sure.

This 12 core MacPro uses so much electricity and generates a lot of heat. I don't like it when it runs all night when sleeping, so auto shutdown is a great feature; but now Safari is blocking.

It's not a big deal.

The reason I am using Safari so much these days is that Safari always clears the Javascript cache out "completely" (when I quit and restart the browser) when I am testing live versions of the new CP. I noticed that Opera and Firefox are really troublesome at clearing out the JS cache, even when I quit the browser completely; and Chrome is better but not much. Safari is really great about this. FF and Opera the worst. Chrome is in between. I don't have time to figure out why; but I guess it's some user configuration switch in Chrome I am missing.

So, I develop on Chrome and test live on the web site with Safari to save time, and that is why I'm noticing all these Safari quirks.

After I get past this major Vue.js UserCP project, I'll use Safari less and I will not notice it again.

For those interested, all the Vue.js Javascript development in done on MacOS using node.js and node package manager (npm)).. and node.js is built on the amazing Google Chrome V8 Javascript engine; and so I think this is one reason why Chrome works so great with modern web apps, since almost all current state-of-the-art web apps are built using node.js and V8 is core.

Frankly as a developer, If I tried to develop (anything state-of-the-art) on Firefox or Opera, I would get very little done and be miserable, LOL. Those browsers are really falling behind in 2019 and I am quite sure their downward spiral will continue because Chrome is focused on modern web apps and Firefox is focused on "privacy" and seeming trying to block modern web apps. This is fight which FF will lose for sure with developers. Safari works fine. Opera, well, I open it from time to time, but never use it for anything "useful" from a web dev perspective.

Drifting off topic again......

Cheers.

NAME

       WWW::NicoVideo::Download - Download FLV/MP4/SWF files from nicovideo.jp

SYNOPSIS

	 use WWW::NicoVideo::Download;

	 my $client = WWW::NicoVideo::Download->new(
	     email => 'your-email@example.com',
	     password => 'PASSWORD',
	 );

	 $client->download("smNNNNNN", &callback);

DESCRIPTION

       WWW::NicoVideo::Download is a module to login, request and download video files from Nico Nico Douga.

METHODS

       new
	     $client = WWW::NicoVideo::Download->new(%options);

	   Creates a new WWW::NicoVideo::Download instance. %options can take the following parameters and they can also be set and get using
	   accessor methods.

       email, password
	   Sets and gets email and password to login Nico Nico Douga. Required if the User Agent object doesn't have the valid session or cookie
	   to login to the site.

       user_agent
	   Sets and gets LWP::UserAgent object to use to send HTTP requests to nicovideo.jp server. If you want to reuse the browser Cookie that
	   has the signed-in state, you can set the Cookie to the UserAgent object here.

	     # use Safari sesssions
	     use HTTP::Cookies::Safari;
	     my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Safari->new(
		 file => "$ENV{HOME}/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist",
	     );
	     my $client = WWW::NicoVideo::Download->new;
	     $client->user_agent->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

       download
	     $client->download($video_id, $file_path);

	   Prepares the download by logging in and requesting the FLV API, and then download the video file. The second parameter is passed to
	   LWP::UserAgent's request() method, so you can pass either local file path to be saved, or a callback function.

       prepare_download
	     my $url = $client->prepare_download($video_id);

	   Prepares the download and returns the URL of the actual video. See eg/fetch-video.pl how to make use of this method.
