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.

Ok, seems that the user moved his Cheyenne binary without taking 
my httpd.cfg which I provided.  And so the listen port changed to 
80 which is the default that Cheyenne creates.

I wonder if the default port should be something else as on Vista 
and Linux, that port is not allowed by default.

Everybody expects from a web server to run by default on port 80, 
that's the specification. From RFC2616 : "HTTP communication usually 
takes place over TCP/IP connections. The default port is TCP 80 but 
other ports can be used.".

Regarding httpd.cfg file, I'll look on how to avoid writing it down 
on disk when running from a custom encapped binary.

An improvement for Cheyenne on Vista could be to display a standard 
OS security requester asking for admin pass when Cheyenne  needs 
to run on port < 1024.

How about instead just show in the system icon tray an information 
menu item to show what port it is listening on?

Not sure that's the right place. It's supposed to be a static information 
from the user POV, so the documentation might be a better place.


Btw, after reading again your posts above about that issue, you should 
have provided an encapped Cheyenne with your own httpd.cfg config 
file built-in (instead of using the default one). Moving the binary 
aournd wouldn't been an issue then.

The yellow tooltip message when mouse is over the systray icon could 
be a good place. Instead of "Cheyenne is running" could be "Cheyenne 
is listening on port(s) ...". I'll think about it.

Actually I am using your encapped binary and not mine as the localhost 
server doens't need odbc :)  I take your point though.

My server app ( with the binary in the browser ) is now able to prefill 
pdfs, and then when submitted back to the server, able to display 
previously filled in pdfs :)
