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.

when I look in the script, there are load lines to uncomment depending 
on which version to load. it looks like this in my case:


imagemagicklib: %CORE_RL_magick_.dll          ; uncomment for windows 
version

imagemagickwandlib: %CORE_RL_wand_.dll          ; uncomment for windows 
version


; imagemagicklib: %/usr/lib/libMagick.so      ; uncomment for linux 
version, try to find where it is installed

; imagemagickwandlib: %/usr/lib/libWand.so      ; uncomment for linux 
version, try to find where it is installed

Is he using the cygwin version of Imagemagick or the native version?

it doesn't say anything about cygwin.

The cygwin version would try to load X11.dll. The native version 
wouldn't.

seems there are references to x11 in the DLLs. so that's the problem.

You should track down the native binaries then - they don't have 
X11 references.

Try this: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php?ImageMagick=m148pm1far9d2bsj0b5tpb9ui2#windows

If they do have X11 references let us know.

trying to get the newest windows version now

amazing with so many different versions for a little bit of image 
processing...

Welcome to the wonders of cross-platform code. There isn't a native 
version for Mac either: It uses X11.

looks like the windows version is x11 free.

Cool :)

but the helper script states explicitly to use version 6.2.9, which 
is no longer available.

I assume Edgar doesn't have interest/time to update it?

That would be in keeping with the work load at Qtask, as I recall. 
He's a busy guy.

I think I'll just call the CLI version... don't need anything other 
than smooth downscaling and a few other bits.

a clean installation and call "convert" is enough to give access 
under windows, so that's good enough for me.

I use comlib for this .. but it probably doesn't do more than using 
covert as well

I use CONVERT quite a bit, and it works well for me.

The problem with ImageMagick was that the API was a moving target. 

So the script I submitted worked only for that specific version of 
ImageMagick.

Since Qtask is not currently using ImageMagick now, I don't know 
when I can get back to work on it again.

I suggest to do what Gregg is suggesting at this time.

I'm follow Gregg's suggestion.

following

I'm building a simple dialect around it. I'm not sure I can make 
it 1:1 capable with CONVERT, but at least you would then be able 
to pass a standard REBOL block directly to CONVERT.

Example:


process [path %/z load %image.jpg blur 3x6 negate resize 50x50 save 
%image2.jpg]
