World: r3wp

This has happened a few times now .. I mentioned it before.  And 
usually only when I am rewriting RSP code.

Are you using encmd v2.7.6 for encapping?

yes

running on Linux?

windows

I need cmd for the odbc

If there's nothing I can do to debug this, I'll restart cheyenne

You can restart it, I've a copy of the output.

The garbage data seems to increase by 830 bytes each time.

I thought it might be an internal response/buffer corruption (not 
been clear after the request), but the compressed size of the page 
is only 442 (in deflate format).

You should carefully examine each use of response/buffer in your 
RSP code. See if you're not inserting in response/buffer a growing 
 series?

server restarted

the only response/buffer I have is ...

nothing

You should at least have one occurence for the captcha image

Need to go now, will give it a look tonight.

no, I do have this too ...
		response/buffer: xfdf

        response/set-header 'Content-type "application/vnd.adobe.xfdf"

ah :-)

A suspect :)

Ok, let me look at the captcha

Inpect first xfdf

xfdf: {<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"xml:space="preserve">
<fields>
<field name="Submit"><value>Send</value></field>
<field name="TextField1"><value>$fname</value></field>
<field name="TextField2"><value>$surname</value></field>
<field name="syupdfid"><value>$syupdfid</value></field>
</fields>
<f href="$myhost/testpdf4.pdf?$time"/>
</xfdf>
}

Look like we found the culprit :-)

I guess you're appending data to xfdf ?

xfdf: copy { }

I should fix that.

:-)

rsp and not cgi

Right

:(

thanks ...

If anyone is wonderng what I am doing, I am prefilling in PDF forms 
and sending them to the client browser

the client then fills in the form, and then clicks on the submit 
buttont to send the data back to me.

I think that I should add a "RSP best practice" or "RSP warnings" 
section to Cheyenne's wiki.

yes, that would be helpful :)

Graham, the PDF stuff sounds interesting. Any more information about 
this?

Is your PDF sepcified via an XML specification?

Robert, xfdf is a deprecated format once used by Adobe to specify 
the contents of fields in a PDF.  So, the above xfdf file will populate 
the fields TextField1, TextField2, syupdfid with $fname, $surname, 
and $syupdfid ... ( well,  I will replace those before I send the 
pdf. )

I will also expand the href to "http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8000/pdfs/testpdf4.pdf? 
+ now (  I do this stop caching the form contents )

So, I send this tiny xfdf file to the browser.  the browser loads 
up the acrobat plugin.  Acrobat now reads the pdf on my website as 
specified in the href field, and then fills in the fields in that 
pdf with the values as specified in the xfdf file.

I have a submit button on the pdf which then sends the data back 
to me.

You can test this by logging to http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8000, 
and then using the "locate" button, ( leave the form blank ) and 
then select any dummy patient.  Then on the bottom left menu, click 
on "test pdf" and then submit.

Note that xfdf does not work with Acrobat PDFs created by Adobe LiveCycle 
.. they want you to move up to their much more expensive forms technology.

Any known issues running Cheyenne on Windows XP 64 or Vista 64 ?

Never tried and I didn't received any feedback from users on that 
platforms.

Ok, I'll investigate further with the user ...

Unfortunately I don't have access to either of these to test :(

Maybe someone here using one of these 64bits OS would be kind enough 
to run a few tests for you?

That would be good ....Just want to make sure it works.

well, as a temporary measure, if my application can't connect-to 
Cheyenne, it will drop back to the REBOL micro web server which does 
work.  Maybe the user has changed the default port, or has a firewall 
blocking it ... will have to find out.
