HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

The standard way of understanding the HTTP protocol is via the request reply pattern. Each HTTP transaction consists of a finitely bounded HTTP request and a finitely bounded HTTP response.

However it's also possible for both parts of an HTTP 1.1 transaction to stream their possibly infinitely bounded data. The advantages is that the sender can send data that is beyond the sender's memory limit, and the receiver can act on

If you are using backbone (and backbone.marionette) in a browserify managed project, you will likely run into issues with underscore (at least if you manage your dependencies with npm). Each package, that has underscore as a dependency, will require its own version of underscore (making your bundle file contain multiple versions of underscore). Back in the days, you could shim backbone and underscore like:

browserify({
	shim: {
		'underscore': {
			path: './node_modules/underscore/underscore.js',
			exports: '_'
 },

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
	# to learn SOOOO much more.

	* VH and VW units can cause issues on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units
	*
	* To overcome this, create media queries that target the width, height, and orientation of iOS devices.
	* It isn't optimal, but there is really no other way to solve the problem. In this example, I am fixing
	* the height of element `.foo` —which is a full width and height cover image.
