World: r3wp

it appears to me that if all the properties of the header was kept 
as strings.
then we could construct back the header's response with 
>>enline form headers
(no need to make a foreach anymore)

Gabriele, I didn't modify the .r, Carl did. I'm working on it now 
though. Pardon my memory lapse, but could you post a url to RLP?

I think you mean WETAN?

Yeah. I'd like the literate programming to stay if we can manage 
it, because otherwise we'll have to reorganize the code from scratch. 
Reorganizing it from existing source would be easier.

I use LEO for my literate programming needs

I use the code story model.

So, are you reviewing all the networking code now?

Documentation in the code itself using comments, and you structure 
the code for human reading. To any programmer of a language that 
is designed for readability - like REBOL - reading the flow of the 
code is like reading a story. You can understand it immediately.


Reading a literate programming document is like reading a manual 
though, so unless it has story or essay structure it will be difficult 
to understand. Reading the code generated by literate programming 
is like reading a stack of 3.5 index cards that were going to be 
used as research for a story or essay, but were instead just taped 
together at random. The overall structure of the code and every hint 
of the author's intentions are lost.

Looks like everything is opened in binary mode as there are no refinements 
yet to 'open.


So, to implement a line oriented protocol like pop, do we read until 
we get a CRLF pair?

I am reviewing the networking code now, in my available time.

Yes.

There won't be a string-mode refinement to open.

shame ..

so used to doing read/lines on a text file

OPEN has the refinements it is going to have. The port model of R3 
is lower-level than R2. Higher-level stuff is handled in the schemes.

read/lines is already there in R3

READ is going to have a /text refinement, but not OPEN.

OPEN is lower-level than READ.

Sorry, READ/string, not READ/text (I forgot the proposal was renamed).

The daytime:// protocol must be the very easiest to implement ... 
how would that be done under R3?

Gregg you haven't finished the docs on schemes in the wiki !

I'm sure there was a reason Graham, or I just forgot, or...

hehe ..

It looks like termites have been thru it http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Schemes:Notes

so many gaps in it

If Carl wants community involvement .. the docs need to get better 
....

docs are PART OF community involvment.

Name one person in the community who could write this document ...

sorry I should have put a bit more meat in my message... this doesn't 
apply to this specific page but to all of REBOL documentation (especially 
R3).  


There doesn't seem to be anyone interested in taking charge of the 
documentation.


AFAICT, I'm not sure people realize that Carl does expect the community 
to be a big player in the documentation. 


this is more a constatation than criticism.  I don't know how it 
plays out in Open source language communities, but it seems to me 
that there is always a little gang which ends up being the documentation 
krew... seems we lack this fiber in our community.

Graham, a scheme less guy

but a few of us could contribute to schemes... a few of us have actually 
written schemes... there also was a great tutorial on rebol forces 
about schemes.   maybe that could be used as the basis for this page.

note ... this is an R2 page.

Note, I referenced a R3 page on schemes

This is hereby declared a R2 free zone

I've had a go at this the simplest of schemes and can't get it working 
... 

http://rebol.wik.is/Rebol3/Schemes/Daytime

I grabbed stuff from Carl's demos and Gabriele's http protocol

it's normal. you don't open any tcp port

eh?

I try this

read daytime://time-a.nist.gov

It says the port gets opened but the awake function is not triggered

yes but your actors (open and/or read) must create a tcp port thru 
the host

a scheme is only a wrapper above a tcp connection

(or upd)

I know ..

So you have to do a open tcp://host somewhere in your code

Oh ... I didn't create the port ...

yes

ok, it will have to wait till my tv program finishes now
