Read permissions not working


Some possible reasons and solutions:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/6308/access-denied-for-read-only-group
As it turns out, I had modified the master page for the site when it was first created, then never published it to the site. Once the page was published, I was able to access the site with read-only permissions.

Based in URL on Access denied page we can gind a list that causes the issue.

Master page gallery has unique permissions and user does not have permissions for it.

Fiddler - troubleshooting HTTP errors


What is Fiddler?
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application that supports a proxy, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more. You can also debug traffic from popular devices like Windows Phone, iPod/iPad, and others.

Multi-day reoccurring events in SharePoint

I did not know that you're not able to create a multi-day reoccurring event in SharePoint.
There are a lot of discussions  about that.

Basically, as soon as you check "Make this a repeating event", the date field for Start/End Time disappears:

That's valid for both SharePoint 2007 and 2010.

Hmm... how would create an event to show that I have Friday-Sunday off every week for example? Well, it may be not a real case, but the real one is migrating Outlook Calendars to SharePoint.
