I don't think, the problem can be solved, so I have to go back to 
using an empty string to define an empty element. The problem is, 
that:
{<doc><element att="value" />some text</doc>}
is a valid XML string. The RebXML version is:
[doc [element att "value" / "some text"]]
and that will be converted back to:
{<doc><element att="value" /="some text">}

because the slash is seen as a word by the parse command, and then 
it's recognized as an attribute, because attributes are defined as 
a word! and a string!.


I'll think about it a little longer and give you guys the option 
to point me to a solution. Else I'll just change it back.

and if you want 'call from core, you need r/command.

odd pricing ... View/Pro ( $99) + upgrade to SDK ($199) = $298 + 
upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $497

but start from Command ($349) + upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $548

Looks like you're penalised if you start from R/Command.

A: Let's lock these down as fast as possible.  It would be great 
to post this in 2005.

Q: "Perhaps a limit on the size of the script."


A: I would like to suggest it has to be a free standing script (not 
a script that grabs other scripts, or other media.  Given AGG, I 
would like to suggest 32K (32,768 bytes) total.  It can be in multiple 
files, but the combined total must not exceed this.  Compatible with 
Rebol View 1.3.


Q: "It needs to be fast to download. We can setup a demo upload/download

A: I suggest not doing this, but rather put this on a public website. 
 We are trying to invite new developers, the less steps the better. 
 A copy can be on the view Desktop though.


Q: "So, what deadline date? Early January? Before students return

A: I vote the contest ends Dec 31st 11:59.59 (this should be 11:59.60 
but Rebol has a bug representing leap seconds, which happens this 
year).


Q: Who should judge the winner? Vote of the REBOL community or RT 
worldwide staff?


A: I think the people giving the prizes should not do the voting. 
 I can suggest using someone more famous, I can get one of my friends 
like Charles Fleischer the comedian to vote, or better David Brin 
(author of Earth, the postman, Transparent Society), they would both 
enjoy doing the voting I suspect.  


Lastly, I would like to offer the following:  Prolific will put up 
a brand new Xbox 360 (when available).


Instead of having a first and second place, rather, both can pick 
which prize they want.  


So the award wording would be "Win your choice of an Apple iPod video, 
or a Microsoft Xbox 360.  Awarded to the first and second place winners."


Third place should be a choice between SDK license, or Command (and 
in fact, the first and second place winners could chose these as 
well).

I found a rather peculiar bug in rebol/core for OSX under Tiger:
start rebol/core and type:

(new process starts)

** Script Error: pitqi has no value
** Near: pitqi
>> quit
** Script Error: pitqi has no value
** Near: pitqi
>> quit
** Script Error: utqi has no value

Any command is mangled semi-randomly. Can anyone confirm?

it should not start the desktop if you provide a script in the command 
line.

Are there any news about  #3869 CRASH (Should not happen)  - Invalid 
string width 16 : type 41 ?


A few weeks ago I got the same error randomly with the new beta command 
version.


I was now able to boil it down and it seems to be a general problem 
in all new versions.

So what I did was create an "anton-user.r" file, which my user.r 
calls *optionally*.
It decides whether to call it based on a command line argument.

So, two different command lines can start rebol "clean" (without 
anton-user.r) or "unclean" (with all my customizations in anton-user.r).

clipboard:// just works with View. Did you try /Command/View ?

Is this a known issue? LINEAR in the draw dialect's FILL-PEN command 
seems to be case-sensitive, it throws an error if given in uppercase:

it seems to happen if you are specifying the pen attributes and you 
accidentally include something else, like a drawing command, but 
the drawing command has to be somewhat complete to trigger the bug. 
interestingly, setting the box size to 0x0 does not trigger the bug, 
maybe because the draw block is not performed when the box is 0x0.

Anton, error #4124 is not a filesystem problem. I replicated it here, 
on NTFS, in a directory that I have permission to do anything. NTFS 
supports changing the modification date of directories - I have an 
Explorer shell extension that does just that, as well as a command 
line touch utility. REBOL can change that attribute on files, but 
not directories. REBOL is probably hust using the wrong API.

The thing is, that the TOC might look very different depening of 
the output format. A TOC for LaTeX is just one command, for HTML 
you need to insert numbering as plain text etc.

anyway - i have a question. do you think that it would be useful 
to have tabs, as fixed positions inside lines to go to with a tab 
command in the middle of a paragraph?

So the problem might be that we don't know how it's supposed to work. 
Maybe the implementor wasn't too clear how it should work either. 
From memory there was an "inconsistent case" which actually had a 
use - for something like splitting command-line args. But anyway, 
a clearer definition would be good.

i h'ave many alternatives (all comsuming lot of code)  that's not 
the point, i just think it could be more elegant to have such a command

I am using mysql-wrapper.r . In function db-last-insert-id there 
should be one less "first" command to get the result. I think this 
is a bug, pls confirm

- There's now a new preferred way to query data, the SEND-SQL global 
function. The INSERT/COPY methods are still available for cases where 
finer-grained control or ressources optimization is required. Example:


send-sql [ /flat ] [ /named ] [ /raw ] db "SQL query or server command"

I don't think so... people buy command for the ODBC  IMHO.

Trying to use the new [/flat] option for Doc's diver. If I use: "Insert 
db "SELECT * FROM jobs"I get the expected blocks withing block. But 
if I use the command: "SEND-SQL/FLAT db "SELECT * FROM jobs" I get 
"NONE"

New MySQL release 1.2.0 beta : http://softinnov.org/tmp/mysql-protocol.r

o Changed behaviour and syntax of the 'read command :

	read mysql://[root-:-localhost]/
	==> return the list of databases

	read mysql://[root-:-localhost]/db
	==> return the list of tables in database "db"

	read mysql://[root-:-localhost]/db/tbl
	==> return the description of table "tbl" in database "db"

	read/custom mysql://[root-:-localhost]/db ["...sql query..."]

 ==> execute the sql query on database "db" and return the resultset.

Guys, what do you think about Tim Johnson's ml remark? Could we help 
him somehow?

-----------------------------------

I've been using mysql-protocol (Mysql Scheme) and cgi for many years 
now. I 

really like it, but I think that /command would bring some advantages, 
if
it can directly access the "C" API for MySQL.


Example: Using the mysql scheme on a tcp/ip connection, I have to 
code

the escaping of special characters for insert and updates and code 
the
unescaping of special characters for retrieval. 


Using the C API from other scripting languages, the mysql_real_escape_string()
function handles the escaping _appropriate_ to the version, and
queries are similarly unescaped.

I've run into situations where MySQL will fail to do DDL without 
throwing an error, at least not one the mysql:// driver notices. 
Haven't tested with the /Command driver or qcmysql:// though.

You should try with the official command line mysql client. If you 
notice a different behaviour than the mysql:// driver, please report 
it here.

Does the /Command client support MySQL 5.1?

Don't know, I think it doesn't support anything above 3.x but I can't 
find the full /Command feature list on rebol.com to confirm.

Yeah, but you're driver has the source. Also, in the ancient times 
before COmmand 2.x and your mysql:// I did a library interface, it's 
still on rebol.org

SQL command is a string so IMHO you have to mold it and enquote it 
as normal text and then there should be no problems .. what kind 
of errors does it throw?

Thanks, I thought there might be some Mysql command to insert column 
names with the data...

THanks for your help.

pen doesn't make contour around filled polygons 

Rebol/View crashes when drawing filled poligons partially out of 
visible face area = you cannot zoom/move any object out of face borders 
- very annoying problem (this problem doesn't crash latest Rebol/Link...instead 
of it interpret shows "not enough memory" error) 

DRAW's 'text command doesn't recognize underlined font style (manipulating 
text will be explained in the next issue of ZINE...Watch out!) 
my enhancement dreams:


missing 'ellipse command - why there is no posible to make elipse 
when 'circle is available?!? 

missing 'point or 'dot command - currently you have to write [line 
10x10 10x10] to make single dot at 10x10 coords on the screen 
missing 'round command - DRAW cannot make arcs in a simple way 

missing 'fill-pattern command - for simple texturing of filled polygons

keying at level of DRAW is not supported in the latest alpha of Rebol 
with AGG. You can yse the KEY command in the EFFECT blocku though. 
I'm looking into this so this feature will be hopefully back in the 
betaversion of Rebol/AGG release.

If my tries are good, ARC command use "time" direction !! I would 
better think in "Trigonometric" one, no ?

I have 2 "not so good" behaviour with 'ARC command.

1) Drawing an Arc with big line-width at rectangular angle (0, 90, 
180, 270) does not give an edge as I would. Try :

rebol [title: "ARC's Draw command test"]

begin: angle: 0
lines?: 'closed
plot: [
	fill-pen red pen black line-width 5
	arc 100x100 90x90 begin angle lines?
]
							
view center-face layout [
	bx: box 200x200 effect [draw plot]
	across
	style vt vtext 60 right

 vt "Start:" scroller 392x16 [angle: face/data * 360 show bx] return

 vt "Angle:" scroller 392x16 [begin: face/data * 360 show bx] return

 vt "Type :" toggle "open it" "closed it" [either face/data [lines?: 
 none] [lines?: 'closed] show bx]
]

I have a problem, when reading a file on another computer thru a 
shared drive. I'm sitting on a Windows client, and the file is on 
a UNIX server. First time I read the file, it's ok. Then if the file 
is updated on the UNIX server, I still get the old version on the 
client.

I've tried the read-thru/update command, but it doesn't solve the 
problem. Maybe read-thru/update doesn't work with shared drives? 
My code looks like this:

read-thru/update %/u/adv71-20/data/invoice.txt

Any ideas?

(It's possible to distribute a sync from the server to the client, 
and then I'll get the new version of the file. But I'll like to be 
able to get the new version from the client.)

I have a problem with HTTPS over a proxy. I'm using REBOL/Command 
2.5.6.3.1, that came with our SDK. This version first need the HTTPS 
protocol to be activated using this code:


net-utils/net-install HTTPS make system/schemes/http/handler [] 443

system/schemes/https: make system/schemes/https [user-agent: reform 
["REBOL" system/product system/version]]

I activated trace by typing: trace/net on

Our proxy is set up ok, as I can read the internet with a browser 
using it (both HTTP and HTTPS).
Now if I in REBOL do this:

>> s: read https://webservices.rki.dk

I get:

URL Parse: none none webservices.rki.dk none none none
Net-log: ["Opening" "ssl" "for" "HTTPS"]

I see two possibilities:

1) The proxy is not supporting tunneling, as required by reading 
the REBOL documentation http://www.rebol.com/docs/ssl.html
2) There's a bug in the REBOL/Command, I'm using.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated!

it's a library and also command line utlity for doing web stuff.

curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax, 
supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and 
LDAP. Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP 
uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password 
authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, kerberos...), file 
transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.

I used it before I got command.

In the SDK, I use the set-network command. Else the set-net command 
can be used.

I also tried reading a https page using command and squid, and couldn't 
get it to work.

an encryption tool? I think not ... IMO altme is built upon SSL capability 
of Rebol/Command SDK or even Rebol/Pro? Dunno ...

but - I just tried that with mySQL driver and it does not work :-( 
.... it works that way with /Command though ... it is a pity there 
is not multiple command ports available in Doc's driver?

Only /Command has FastCGI built in. AKAIK, there is no complete implementation 
of FastCGI for /Core. When last I heard, development of one was stopped 
voluntarily to avoid devaluing /Command.

Kaj, FastMagic! does not require SQL database. But it does require 
Rebol/Command and Linux. Indeed, FastCGI in CGI compatibility mode 
needs a POSIX environment. Nevertheless, you can use FastMagic! in 
normal CGI mode, by setting the flag mod-fastcgi to false (in the 
fmagic.r file). Actually, i develop under windows in CGI mode and 
deply under Linux in FastCGI mode, and it workds well. I tried to 
be as much compatible as possible with the original Magic!. Again, 
the application code for Rebol Directory is definitly the best way 
to learn how to develop with (Fast)Magic! You can download it at 
www.rebolgique.org

Offline reader for Altme Chat Group : http://membres.lycos.fr/didec/rebol/altme-chat-reader.r
As some seems to search for it.

It can be used to read an entire chat group or to export its content 
in html. There is a command line syntax for automatic export (ie. 
with batch/cron job).

Conclusion so far is, that the DRAW command only can handle one object-reference!?

What does this mean, please? I just tried to upgrade to latest SDK, 
as I use Command on my Linux Fedora Core 1, and older Rebol does 
not know 'unless (which is used in sqlite.r driver). But I got following 
error:


./rebcmd: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Perhaps only /Command is loading that library. Do you have that library 
on your system?

Command adds encryption, ODBC, Oracle, (slower native) MySQL, and 
SSL.

Command seems to have an "Encryption Level 2" though, which I would 
guess is better.

By symlink, he means symbolic link. Enter "man ls" on your Linux 
command line without the quotes for more info.

petr, yes, it should have the DRAW native afaik. never used command 
for images myself so i haven't tested any of this.

Maxim, the Detective uses the cgi option, and prints to the dos command 
prompt if you call it from there (try running "nren help"). It does 
not use call though, but async-call, but i don't remember problems 
with call + cgi options.

any refinement just makes call in encap go wild (on windows)  using 
dir as the command

then timers to do polling on the pipes. on linux instead, you just 
get a signal when the command finishes, and read from the pipe - 
no polling needed.

does this mean I cannot create command-line tools with encap?

for all SDK experts..   why is this not actually dumping the print 
to the CMD.EXE command shell?

this is encapped using enpro.exe:

rebol [
	Encap: [cgi]
]

print "-----"

I can only view output if I execute my command with a pipe to more 
like so:

> test.exe | more

I meant to say, isn't using the CGI option supposed to display the 
prints on the cmd.exe command line directly?

Quoting Gabriele: "Maxim, the Detective uses the cgi option, and 
prints to the dos command prompt if you call it from there (try running 
"nren help"). It does not use call though, but async-call, but i 
don't remember problems with call + cgi options."

but the more serious limitation is not being able to ask a question 
on the command-line   ;-(

I'm a bit in two minds about this. Reading is done with PICK, but 
it'll return an integer. So how to make it return a tuple? Something 
like:
pick.tuple result img 1

Not so good, eh? Maybe we need a TO-TUPLE command in rebcode. And 
how will it influence performance? Maybe it isn't such a great idea 
to add support for tuples to rebcode!?

I don't get this ... I started getting very long loading times with 
my webapp when I changed or inserted the and it was very fast before 
... now I saw that it's the sqlite making these delays.. this is 
not the problem of sqlite.r but the sqlite itself because I get the 
same behaviour with sqlite3 shell.


But I can't believe this , I am certain I am doing something wrong.. 
I remember sqlite can handle GB of data and is very fast, but in 
my case... I have 183 rows in a simple 5 column table (db file is 
10kb) .. if I do single update table X set y = ".." where Z = ".."; 
 it takes like 3 seconds. This updates just 1 row out of 183. Does 
anyone have any idea? I tried to do the "Vacuum" command but it's 
the same after it.

I apologize if this is a repeat of an earlier message - I thought 
I submitted, but never saw it appear.


Question: With REBOL/View 2.7.6 under Windows XP, using SQLite driver 
v1.0.6, should I be able to use the concatenate operator (||) in 
a SELECT statement?  Query works under the sqlite3 command line, 
and a similar SELECT without the concatenate returns values as expected:

>> sql "select jobid, role from roles where userid = 'cda6'"
== [[1124 prgr] [1125 test]]

>> sql "select jobid || role from roles where userid = 'cda6'"
** Syntax Error: Invalid integer -- 1124prgr
** Near: (line 1) 1124prgr
>>

Robert, Well, that's what I do do now but I was wondering if there 
was also a command.

James, if you have the sqlite command available, you can do:

well, that is programmatic. .dump is a command for the sqlite utility. 
if you want to do it from REBOL, you have to code it yourself, as 
it's not a SQL command.

just run a batch script with set VARNAME VALUE  before your command...

If you get any salesman in an IT dept which has XML capabilities 
(and they are getting used, really) and in 15 minutes, LOADS their 
data structures, instances, edits them and spits them right back 
out using a simple command line interface... welll...  case closed.

New version! PostScript is default set to DeviceGray with no colours. 
To set it to DeviceRGB, I made a command in the dialect for that. 
Try:
do http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r

write %test.ps postscript [DeviceRGB page [switchy linewidth 5 path 
[setcolor 255.0.0 line 50x50 50x100 setcolor 0.255.0 line 50x100 
100x100 setcolor 0.0.255 line 100x100 100x50 setcolor 255.0.255 line 
100x50 50x50]]]

Ok, definitely need to find out when a newpath command is needed.

there is also a stringwidth command in postscript.

ps2pdf is also a command (I think included with Ghostscript): http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/6.50/Ps2pdf.htm

It may be more clear, if we look at PS as a low level language to 
control some type of printer or typesetter. It goes like: move to 
this position, print this text using this font, move to this other 
position, print text, ...

Landscape is done with 90 degree rotation before doing the print 
command.

If you wanna do more than one transformation, they can be combined 
into one matrix command.

I was afraid of messing with it, since only a single error, such 
as leaving a standard postscript command out or putting another one 
in, caused some printers to stop working with it.

Cheyenne release v0.9.14 beta. Download at http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r0914.zip

Changelog :

o response/forward improved : 

 - fully supports URLs as argument (can now forward to another virtual 
 host).
	- URL validity check (must have an explicit target).
	- protection against cycles.


o Command line option -p extended, now you can specify several listen 
ports separated
   by a comma (ex: -p 80,10443).


o New command line option -e : load and initialize Cheyenne without 
entering the

   event loop (needed for embedding Cheyenne in third party apps).


o Added a new experimental module: mod-embed. Purpose is to allow 
easy Cheyenne

   integration in third-party REBOL applications that require an embedded 
   web
   server. (Uncomment mod-embed in httpd.cfg file to activate it)


o Added %embed-demo.r file to show a sample of the mod-embed usage 
and API. 

o RSP: <% without %> eats all the memory. Fixed.

o URL-encoded request values were not parsed correctly. Fixed.


o RSP: fixed a typo in 'decode-params blocking the multipart data 
decoding and
   also a local word ('type) leaking in GC.

o UniServe's service startup refactored to be more flexible.



The new mod-embed is experimental. Please look at the %embed-demo.r 
file and send your feedbacks here.

Marteen: you should turn on verbose mode either using -vv (or -vvv) 
option in command line or setting in %cheyenne.r : services/httpd/verbose: 
2

Cheyenne.r does bypass settings in uniserve.r, httpd.r, etc, which 
is a feature! for example if you set verbosity in httpd.r, it will 
be bypassed by code in cheyenne.r which takes in command line parameters, 
look in the source of cheyenne, on the bottom ;-)

You should not change the port-id in httpd.r, either change it in 
cheyenne.r, or better, use the -p command line option.

Cheyenne release v0.9.15 beta. Download at http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r0915.zip

Changelog :

v0.9.15 - 20/06/2007


 o RConsole was not started by default in the previous release. Fixed
	

 o RSP: 'include function protection from infinite cycles changed. 
 It's

   now based on a counter (5 maximum recursive includes). It's a little 
   less

   cleaner than stack-based tracking but much more reliable (avoids 
   matching
	  paths and targets).
	  

 o HTML.r library rewritten from scratch. Now, faster and more conforming 
 to 

   standards (Full range of Latin1 entities supported). Fixes URL-encode 
   bugs.

	o BugFix for command line parsing in encapped Cheyenne on Linux.
	

 o Fixed an issue with 'decode-multipart in RSP.r. File upload should 
 work ok 
	  again.
	  

 o Added a new global function : 'rsp-log value. Outputs values in 
 console for 
	  debugging RSP scripts. Works as 'probe.
	  

 o Reloading config file now supported. Running sessions and client 
 connections

   survive to the reloading process (needs some additional testing). 
   Activating
	  config file reload is done using:
	  
	  		- (Windows) "Reload Config" menu option in systray icon.
	  		- (UNIX)     kill -s HUP pid
	  		

 o UNIX signals SIGINT,SIGQUIT,SIGTERM now catched to allow cleaner 
 exit and last

   minute actions. Triggers the new 'on-quit event for HTTPd modules.
	

 o HTTPd internal events (not phases) refactored to be cleaner. New 
 module's
	  events added:
	
			- 'on-started:	when Cheyenne starts.
			- 'on-reload:   before a config file reload happens.
			- 'on-reloaded: after a config file reload happens.
			- 'on-quit:     when Cheyenne is about to stop and quit.
			

 o RSP sessions can now be made persistent (can survive to a server 
 complete restart).

   This option is controlled by a new config keyword: 'persist. Usage 
   is :
	  	
	        persist [sessions]    ; other flags can be added at will
	        

 o BugFix in session cookie handling for web-apps using 'auth mode. 
 Now the cookie

   is sent on the 302 redirection to the login page avoiding the creation 
   of a 
	  "shadow session" that will never be used. 
	  

 o FastCGI is under heavy work so mod-fastcgi is commented in config 
 file to avoid

   fastcgi startup. If you want to play with PHP, just uncomment the 
   line.

Have you considered reading the source of the .cmd script and translating 
its behavior to REBOL? You might be better able to call the command 
line tools directly rather than through cmd.exe.

trying to run php ... how should I configure my fastcgi section properly?

	extern fastcgi [
		command	 "php -b $port"
		pool 	 min 1 max 4
;		server	 192.168.0.100 ; port 1234
;		root-dir "/home/dk/fcgi/"
	]
] 

what is server ip and rootdir here?

modules [
;	userdir
	internal
	static
	action
	fastcgi
	rsp
	ssi
	alias
;	embed
]

globals [
	bind SSI to [.shtml .shtm]
	bind fastcgi to [.php .php3 .php4]
	
	bind-extern CGI to [.cgi .r]
	bind-extern RSP to [.j .rsp]
	
;	user  nobody
;	group nobody

]

On windows platforms, you'll get the infamous DOS window flashing 
when executing an external CGI ! It's just a matter of 1 flag to 
correctly set in 'call C source code, if you're really annoyed by 
that, ask RT to fix it asap (for 2.7.6 that would be good)! ;-) I 
may reimplement completely call command in REBOL, but it would be 
a big waste of time and energy...it should be a 10 minutes fix for 
RT. Addind a time limit to 'call would be a good thing too, it would 
also avoid me the reimplementation of 'call to add such feature....

PHP can be anywhere you want, just set the correct (relative or absolute) 
path in the 'command directive

although it does list the run command

command only?

Thanks Reichart, I will :)  I've played a little with the OGRE engine 
in Purebasic - I think it's time more of these standard tools start 
getting wrapped in REBOL, now that the command potential of REBOL 
has been opened up.  I personally think that the pay-for-api access 
was one of the main reasons that REBOL never became as popular as 
it should've.  Wrapping cool tools should really help open more eyes 
as to what REBOL can do, at least on initial look'n'see.

the help command is also VERY usefull hahaha

I'd like to know if any of you want to be alpha testers for the up 
and comming version, which is a result of several YEARS of fine tuning, 
 and now combining, a rich set tools.

CURRENT FEATURES (partial list):
General:
-----------------------
-non intrusive, does not force any programing onto you.

    ex:  * no need to have version in header, and can still do version 
    control

           * history format is user specified, massive configurability
-encapped (windows) application, so its easy to use.

-no external dependencies (ex: zip archive is embeded, and coded 
in rebol :-)


Automated:
-----------------------
-script versioning
-file backup (versioned)
-zip archival
-file management

-creation of "packages" (create dirs, copy files, archive, prebol, 
slim-link, encap, etc)

-header manipulation (including history, date, version, and any field 
you want to enforce)
-system calls
-file parsing, replacing info tags.

Flexible setup:
-------------------------
-cascading configuration (global, user, project, + per file)

-config locking, prevents overiding configs in cascaded setups (project 
manager can create rules which no one can break)
-command-line arguments overides for many configs

-user set configs for most if not all features (ex: history format, 
date format).

and much more
