Convert .crt & .key files into .pem file for HTTParty

Two ways to do it, but only worked for me so I'll put it first and the second for reference:

$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -out hostname.p12
$ openssl pkcs12 -in hostname.p12 -nodes -out hostname.pem

Other options for this method in comments below:

# Note, the -certfile root.crt appends all CA certs to the export, I've never needed these so it's optional for my personal steps
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -certfile root.crt -out hostname.p12

Note, I've always had my hostname.crt as part of my .pem, so I keep my certs but apparently you may not have to, hence the nocerts flag being an extra option in this sample

Workaround in PHP cURL for the 100-continue expectation
<?php
// cURL obeys the RFCs as it should. Meaning that for a HTTP/1.1 backend if the POST size is above 1024 bytes
// cURL sends a 'Expect: 100-continue' header. The server acknowledges and sends back the '100' status code.
// cuRL then sends the request body. This is proper behaviour. Nginx supports this header.
// This allows to work around servers that do not support that header.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
// We're emptying the 'Expect' header, saying to the server: please accept the body right now.
// Read here: http://pilif.github.com/2007/02/the-return-of-except-100-continue/

Common markup for Markdown and reStructuredText

Markdown and reStructuredText

GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as things like automatic generation of tables of contents.
