Useful quick reference guides

While strolling through some of my RSS feeds on Monday I came across a few quick reference guides which are worthy of mention. They're things which you might not have an immediate need for, but that are bound to come in handy at some point in the future.

HTTP/1.1 (DELETE, GET, HEAD, PUT, POST)
This is an activity diagram to describe the resolution of the response status code, given various headers. Useful for anyone doing application debugging at the web server level.

SQL Injection Cheat Sheet
The idea is of course that you use the cheat sheet to help protect your applications from a SQL injection attack, not use it to run off and attempt to perform SQL injection on other websites. Yeah, right.

Currently only for MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server, some ORACLE and some PostgreSQL. Most of samples are not correct for every single situation. Most of the real world environments may change because of parenthesis, different code bases and unexpected, strange SQL sentences.
Samples are provided to allow reader to get basic idea of a potential attack and almost every section includes a brief information about itself.
