As you might have read from above, I am attempting to post postscript
to a RSP script to convert to PDF.
4k of postscript sees the script complete.
But 92Kb of postscript - and I get this response
make object! [
code: 800
type: 'user
id: 'message
arg1: {Error. Target url: https://www.compkarori.co.nz:443/cgi-bin/createpdf.rsp
could not be retrieved. Server response: none}
arg2: none
arg3: none
near: [page: read/custom https://www.compkarori.co.nz/cgi-bin/createpdf.rsp
reduce ['POST join "content=" content]]
where: none
]

I think a POST should be okay with 100kb of text .. so perhaps there is problem with Cheyenne's handling? | |
Maybe I should try and simulate a multipart form post on the client side instead?? | |
| Dockimbel 26-Jun-2007 [1810x2] | Check your httpd.cfg file to see if you find a 'post-max directive. |
If you find one, set it to higher limit (unit is Kb) or just remove it. | |
| Chris 26-Jun-2007 [1812] | G: # is used to link to anchors. e.g. http://www.rebol.com/cgi-bin/blog.r?view=0338#comments |
| Gabriele 26-Jun-2007 [1813] | you need to encode # with percent encoding, and you need to make sure rebol is nod decoding that for you silently (the url! datatype does this unfortunately). |
| Oldes 26-Jun-2007 [1814] | # is a legal url char... Rebol's decode-url is full of bugs for example this url is bad decoded as well: http://test/path/target?text/something |
| Graham 26-Jun-2007 [1815x5] | I did a grep on the sources,and I can only find post-max in 2 files ... mod-static post-max: [integer!] in main httpd.r limit: select req/cfg 'post-max |
Not in httpd.cfg | |
I guess I'll just create a limit in httpd.r | |
Hmm. Didn't help either. Still same error. | |
Checking the server logs .. looks like the post is not even registering there either. | |
| Dockimbel 27-Jun-2007 [1820] | does it work if you test it locally without SSL ? |
| Gabriele 27-Jun-2007 [1821] | oldes, it is legal but NOT part of query args UNLESS percent-encoded. special characters in uris must always be percent-encoded when not used as separators. |
| Graham 27-Jun-2007 [1822x4] | Good question .. yes, it works remotely without ssl. |
Cheyenne is running on port 8100, and SSL is directed to that from stunnel. | |
So, if you try page: read/custom https://www.compkarori.co.nz/show.cgireduce [ 'post join "content=" content ] then this fails if content is a few kbs but if you do page: read/custom http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8100/show.cgi reduce [ 'post join "content=" content ] it works fine. | |
What a shame. | |
| Dockimbel 27-Jun-2007 [1826] | So it seems that the issue is either with the HTTPS protocol in REBOL or with stunnel. |
| Graham 27-Jun-2007 [1827x3] | I guess so |
So, I need to mock up a webpage to do the same post | |
and check it out in a browser | |
| Dockimbel 27-Jun-2007 [1830] | Exactly. |
| Graham 27-Jun-2007 [1831x2] | Hmm. |
I don't have a https server I can test ... | |
| Dockimbel 27-Jun-2007 [1833] | Be sure to use the latest Cheyenne beta (0.9.15). It fixes a regression bug on multipart data decoding. |
| Graham 27-Jun-2007 [1834x3] | Do you have a log of which files are changed? |
Or do I have to update every file? | |
I guess I'd better download curl and use that to test with | |
| Dockimbel 27-Jun-2007 [1837] | Sorry, no diff file list. You can update just the files having a more recent timestamp. |
| Graham 27-Jun-2007 [1838x6] | Ok |
curl seems to work | |
curl -k -F upload=@test.ps -F press=OK https://www.compkarori.co.nz/show.cgi | |
So, I guess this means it's a Rebol https problem :( | |
Wasn't Gabriele asking for people to test a new http(s) protocol ?? | |
Does anyone wish to independently confirm my findings with https? | |
| Graham 28-Jun-2007 [1844x4] | Rebol [] data: copy/part read %test.ps 1024 content: copy data for i 1 100 1 [ cnt: i * 1024 page: read/custom https://www.compkarori.co.nz/cgi-bin/measure.rsp reduce [ 'post join "content=" content ] parse page [ thru <data> copy received to </data> ] either found? received [ received: to integer! trim received either received = cnt [ print [ "OK at " cnt ] append content data ][ print [ "oops .. failed at " cnt ] break ] ][ print "failed to read ... " halt ] ] |
http continues okay. https fails at 15360 bytes | |
and measure.rsp is .. <html> <body> <% either content: select request/content 'content [ print [ <data> length? content </data> ] ][ %> Nothing was sent! <% ] %> </body> </html> | |
narrowed it down further ..16376 is okay, 16377 bytes fails | |
| Pekr 28-Jun-2007 [1848] | hehe, how can I simulate virtual-host on localhost? :-) |
| Dockimbel 29-Jun-2007 [1849] | locally define your DNS names in your hosts file (/etc/hosts or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) to be able to simulate locally virtual-hosts. |
| Graham 29-Jun-2007 [1850] | Doing some more testing... not even sure http is okay. |
| Pekr 29-Jun-2007 [1851] | ah, thanks! |
| Graham 30-Jun-2007 [1852x2] | Does the current version of Cheyenne encap? I tried and I get a windows exception when I run the encapped version. |
Using 2.6.2. Downloaded 2.7.5 and same result. | |
| Dockimbel 2-Jul-2007 [1854] | Encmd crashes if 'title keyword is used in 'encap header. It works correctly with enpro and enface. So just remove from encap header : title "Cheyenne" and it will work. |
| Graham 3-Jul-2007 [1855] | Thanks .. and that is so strange! |
| Pekr 5-Jul-2007 [1856] | trying to run php ... how should I configure my fastcgi section properly? extern fastcgi [ command "php -b $port" pool min 1 max 4 ; server 192.168.0.100 ; port 1234 ; root-dir "/home/dk/fcgi/" ] ] what is server ip and rootdir here? |
