Today I spent 25 minutes explaining to this dev that there’s no way that a http request can access directly to an ftp server and retrieve a file.

A dev with 4 years of experience...

Explain JSON to a Dev with 7 years experience and get back to me xD

@craig939393 let me guess, a xml worshipper?

@eptsousa soap

@craig939393 may god be with you...

I mean you could make some sort of ... service to do that but otherwise:

@N00bPancakes There is a service:

@N00bPancakes that’s exactly what I spent those 25 minutes explaining, being the first 10 her arguing that it indeed connects directly.

Luckily for me I’m getting better on making people realize by themselves they are on the wrong(if they factually are) on a mannered way.

@Demolishun yeah, surely there are a few, but not the bare protocol.

@eptsousa

Good for you.

I wonder if the confusion was that browsers will .. ftp ... but that's way not http.

@eptsousa I wonder if it is connecting, but not communicating. I mean you can connect to any port. As for effective you could feasibly write a 10 or 20 line Python script to show how it fails.

@N00bPancakes yeah, I don’t mind explaining at all, I just though it was kinda funny how she reached that conclusion.

@Demolishun that’s not my area of domain, but probably there are a few things on layer 3 that needs to be there in order to be a valid request for a ftp sever.

I may look for it, just for curiosity haha.

@eptsousa Technically you can put diesel in a gasoline engine. It just won't run.

@craig939393
That is easy: Just tell him that JSON mostly is the short syntax of YAML.
After seven years, he surely settled down on using YAML for structured data interchange already...

@craig939393 I am rather fond of XSLT transformations. I am not doing web work with that though. Just document presentation within an app in a limited subset HTML output. If I wanted it in JSON I am just a transformation away from that.

Explained a 20 years programmer that
Return 200
With message error is not good

@jak645 i would accept that just for the sike vibes it gives me
