World: r3wp

What year was 2.3 ?

I have Solaris versions with date stamps ( the date I copied them 
to the server ) of 2000, 2001, and 2003.  I think these versions 
were susceptible to creating zombie dns processes

http://rebolsolaris.s3.amazonaws.com/rebol101
http://rebolsolaris.s3.amazonaws.com/rebolnew

Is it an idea to collect all the historic REBOL versions at one place? 
Like the Workbench Nostalgia:
http://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/

It is, it would be nice to collect ALL REBOL "everything" in one 
place somewhere....

Google?

No :)


We need a place, page, website, (i.e. the original purpose of REBOLCentral) 
where a new person can come, and in a really nice layout EVERYTHING 
REBOL is there.

It points a person to everything else.


The Library,  the blogs, the knoweldge of this place, a REBOL "ReadMeFirst.txt" 
if you will.

We need that for long time and there's still nothing. I wonder if 
anybody's interested in this project or if everybody's happy with 
the way it is. When yes (everybody's happy now), I can understand 
why the 'outsiders' describe us as "elitists".

I don't think it's possible to gather all the matter and usefull 
links  in one page.

Rebol.org, Rebol.net and Rebol.com are enough to connect with the 
rest, to my mind.

I want access to old R2 versions to be able to push back the version 
compatibility of R2/Forward.

Might have them already though - going to check my archives. A list 
of the old platform numbers would be nice too.

Brian: http://www.rebol.com/release-archive.htmlshould have all 
of the old platform numbers

Graham: thanks, will check those Solaris binaries out to see what 
versions they are.

And I think I know where to retrieve my old binaries. Should have 
Linux (4.2)  REBOL/Core 2.3.0 by tomorrow.

Thanks, Andreas. It looks like R2/Forward should support 2.5.0 if 
it can :)

Graham, thanks a lot! rebol-old is 2.3.0, rebolnew is 2.5.0 and rebol101 
is 2.5.5. all /core for solaris sparc (10.1)

Heh, very nice! All of those binaries run as-is on a Sun Fire T1000 
:)

Just shows how long I've been using rebol for cgi work!

Confirming, HTTPS should work (after doing a net-install call) on 
Core 2.7.7.4.2?

The docs state that it is in View/2.7.7

http://www.rebol.com/docs/ssl.html

So, View but not Core. Bummer.

There was an end-of-line problem in the SDK, when using HTTPS with 
a generic proxy. Packets were sent with just LF, where the definition 
(RFC 2616) say, CRLF should be used. It could be fixed in the SDK 
by editing prot-http.r. I haven't checked, if this is fixed in later 
versions (incl. View/2.7.7), so it's a potential problem.

Gregg, I'll check with Carl about whether there can be a Core with 
SSL in future R2 releases. Hopefully the difference in event model 
in View isn't integrated into the SSL code. Geomol, I'll put that 
on the list to check.

There's a rebcmd with ssl that is part of rebol/command of course 
... I was guessing Carl was keeping it that way.

Geomol, that issue is fixed.

Thanks Brian.

Found a random bug in 2.7.6 with AS-STRING...

http://rebol-power-mez.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/rebol-power-mez/rebol-power-mez/rev/beaac6a1fd12

If anybody can get Carl to contact me... maybe we can figure out 
what's happening. I don't seem to be able to reproduce this outside 
of that so far.

http://www.rebol.com/article/0466.html<- R2.7.8

I submitted my http patches for 2.7.7 ... and they have yet to be 
reviewed.  Suspect it's a waste of our time.

It seems they will be reviewed soon. http://www.rebol.com/docs/changes-2-7.html
Look at REBOL 2.7.8 last line

Sorry, Graham, I've been busy helping a sick friend. Back at it now.

They're not fixes, they're enhancements ..

semantics

REBOL can not open more than 512 connections

sample code : loop 512 [ open/no-wait tcp://209.85.135.103:80]  ; 
result ok

if i open new port   open tcp://google.com:80  ; 513 ** Access Error: 
Cannot connect to google.com

Maybe it's your OS and not Rebol ?

rebol 2.7.7 , os windows serwer 2008 x64

rebol 2.7.6, windows 7 and I was able to exceed 512 connections

rebol  view 2.7.6 on windows serwer 2008 not open 513  connections

Micha, does Windows Server 2008 have a connection quota feature? 
Perhaps per-user?

REBOL view on Windows can not establish more than 512 connectivity, 
i check 2.7.6 on windows XP

Windows XP has connection quotas, but it's a fixed setting. Still, 
I'll check it here on one of my XP boxes.

Has anyone used Edgar Tolentino's Imagemagick helper under 2.7.7? 
In WinXP I get REBOL saying:

---------------------------
REBOL/View: rebol.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------

This application has failed to start because X11.dll was not found. 
Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

That looks like LOAD/library %x11, something you would see on a Unix/Linux 
compatible script. IIRC Edgar wrote that for Qtask, which runs on 
Linux.

Sorry, load/library %X11 - it's case-sensitive on Linux.

The code should be easily adjustable to the Imagemagick port for 
Windows though.
