It looks like similar ideas are involved .. complete separation of 
layout from code
Interesting item from the past .. both Brett and Andrew have droppped 
out of the Rebol scene ... the latter not by choice though

He passed away or rebol became illegal in his country?
Graham

He lives in NZ .. I'm not aware of any laws against Rebol here
But he did get sick ..

Temple is just an engine, so it can run in any context. It was mostly 
an experiment, and the HTML parser was very basic. I have a much 
better parser now, adapting the functions from Temple should not 
be hard. (left as a nice exercise to the reader :-)

still CGI though?
Hmm... that makes 3 websites you keep your stuff?

load-html is just a function.
i have some old stuff scattered around. i'm trying to put most of 
the newest stuff in the Power Mezz package which is on Sourceforge 
and www.rebol.it

what's colle...a used for?
Gabriele

[8884]
more "personal" / work in progress stuff. i've decided to put the 
Power Mezz on www.rebol.it instead because that seems to make more 
sense.

Doc says he will try and fix the 'alert issue ... though he's not 
sure it will fix the ability to run as a service
He'll be back here in a few days to answer questiona

Gabriele: in the temple.r file, the word CONTEXT is used to define 
some functions, then you export them with the 'export function defined 
in the utility.r file. Is there a 'best practice' about it as I don't 
see the difference compared to simply defining it within the scope 
of the file?

I think it's Gabriele's module system. Similar functionality is standard 
in REBOL 3. When you export explicitly, you can choose what to export 
and what to leave internal to the context, so you have minimum potential 
for conflicts with the global context
florin

Got it. Pattern #1.
Gabriele

[8903]
Kaj: well, it's not my module system, but it's basically the same 
thing as using SET 'WORD instead of WORD: , except that it is more 
readable (a newbie can guess what "export" means, while it's harder 
to guess that SET 'WORD is different from WORD:)


Florin: since R2 does not natively include the concept of "modules", 
all of us have been doing various things to avoid polluting the global 
context too much. I eventually got tired of all this and created 
this instead: http://www.rebol.it/power-mezz/mezz/module.html

Hi all, just to let you know that I'm upgrading Cheyenne websocket 
support to the last ws draft RFC, the handshaking part has changed 
and is not compatible with the previous version, causing all current 
Cheyenne ws apps to not work with latest browsers (like Chrome 6).
Davide

I've made a func to calculate the challengin code given the header 
request.

It was in the "I'm new" section, but it works nicely, I'm using it 
very often, so it's well tested.


ws-chall: funct [header [string!]] [		
	
	cnt: funct [k] [
		n: copy "" 
		ns: 0 
		repeat x k [
			if all [x >= #"0" x <= #"9"][
				append n x
			] 
			if x = #" " [
				ns: ns + 1
			]
		]
		if ns = 0 [
			return none
		]			
		(to decimal! n) / ns
	]
	
	int-2-char: funct [n [integer! decimal!]] [
		;n: to decimal! n
		head insert insert insert insert make string! 4
			to char! n / 16777216
			to char! (n // 16777216) / 65536 
			to char! (n // 65536) / 256
			to char! n // 256
	]

	attempt [
		t: parse/all replace/all header crlf lf "^/"

  l: copy [] repeat x t [if n: find x ":" [insert tail l reduce [copy/part 
  x (index? n) - 1 next n]]] l: head l
		k1: next select l "Sec-WebSocket-Key1"
		k2: next select l "Sec-WebSocket-Key2"
		k3: next next find header "^/^/"
		aux1: cnt k1
		aux2: cnt k2
	]

	if any [none? aux1 none? aux2 none? k3] [return ""]

 to-string checksum/method rejoin [int-2-char aux1 int-2-char aux2 
 k3] 'md5		
]

Thanks for the code, but the handshake implementation was trivial. 
My current issue is the fact that the new ws draft is breaking HTTP 
specifications by using a GET request with a message body...WTF?

I'm not the only one to find that odd: http://blog.iworks.at/?/archives/69-WebSockets-Handshake-non-HTTP-conforming.html
SVN revision 87: websocket support updated to follow draft 76 specs 
(works with Chrome 6+)

Is http://nodejs.orgsimilar to what websockets does? I found it 
when reading about upcoming Palm (HP) WebOS 2.0 release ...
Graham

Terry has mentioned nodejs before .. it's an event driven web server 
... nothing to do with web sockets per se
Davide
4-Sep-2010
[8910]
node.js is a v8 javascript interpreter that could be used server-side 
to make tcp server.

So, not only web server but server with persistent connection too, 
like web sockets.

Javascript on the server side isn't a new idea, but V8 is very fast 
and more light without the html dom complexity.
It's all event driven and seems very fun to play with it.

SVN revision 89: removed View engine dependency for displaying error 
messages produced by switching to Windows Service mode.
if there are other "hot" issues to fix in Cheyenne, please let me 
know.
Btw, Windows Service mode seems to run OK under Windows 7 if Cheyenne 
is started with admin privileges (tested with an enpro kernel).

Dockimbel, will you provide an encapped version again? Last time 
I had quite a mess figuring out what Cheyenne version worked with 
what REBOL version, so I just avoid upgrades unless there is an encapped 
version.
Dockimbel
6-Sep-2010
[8915]
I distribute encapped versions only when making new releases. If 
you need a intermediary revision encapped, just let me know the OS 
and encap kernel and I'll make you one. Also, I think I should release 
a new version now, the current SVN code base seems stable enough 
now.
Henrik

[8916]
ok
Dockimbel
6-Sep-2010
[8917]
hum...I forget about the SDK licensing issue, you can't distribute 
encapped binaries that allow running arbitrary REBOL code (Cheyenne 
allows that through CGI and RSP scripts).
Henrik

RE: SDK licensing issue:

So you could not make an ecapped app that uses rebol as its scripting 
language? Like a paint program that allows you to make your own macros 
for repetitive  tasks?
Dockimbel
6-Sep-2010
[8920]
if your paint program allows anyone to run any Rebol script, then 
I guess no.
Henrik
6-Sep-2010
[8921]
does it also say that if you use a plain enface? isn't this related 
to having access to pro/command features?
Dockimbel
6-Sep-2010
[8922]
This is what the SDK license says (so related to any encapping kernel): 
[...]

REBOL API Restriction. If you choose to export the REBOL API (function 
and objects of REBOL) for users of programs created by REBOL/SDK 
(in other words, you allow users of your programs to write and execute 
REBOL scripts within your program), you must obtain a separate commercial 
distribution license from REBOL Technologies. If your program does 
not allow users to access the REBOL API, then no additional license 
is required.
