Oh boy. 


First, I *have* been contacted to ask if I could take certain actions, 
but not by RT. RT made me a world master here, which *I* consider 
to be form of moderator (with the main task being to assign and maintain 
accounts), though there is not a definite job description sitting 
on my desk. Now, I am also a regular user in this world, and there 
are definitely conflicts for me WRT those positions.


As I've said before, I enjoy a good chat as much as anyone, and I 
*don't* want to censor people here, but that may be necessary at 
some point, wouldn't you agree? If someone were quite obviously, 
in the opinion of 99.9% of the people here, abusive, rude, offensive, 
etc. should they be allowed to run rampant and ruin this world for 
everyone else? I don't think so; maybe you do.


When I joined the REBOL community, one of the main attractions was 
the high level of mutual respect, the generosity towards newcomers, 
and the complete *lack* of the venom you sometimes see unleashed 
in other language communities. *That* is what kept *me* coming back. 
The more argumentative discussions and personal jibes people see, 
the less likely they are to post, IME, because they don't want to 
be attacked themselves and if that's the tone they often see, it's 
what they will expect. 


When it comes to content, as a world master and a user *I* think 
that *most* channels here *should* be REBOL related. The world is 
called "REBOL", and I think RT created and sponsors it for the REBOL 
community. That's my view; that's how I view the ML as well. There 
are probably at least 20-25 non-REBOL, non-Technical groups here 
now; that's quite a lot IMO. There are times that I would really 
like to clean this world up a bit, and as a user I could, but as 
a world master I don't feel that I can because someone will complain 
that I'm trying to censor or control things here (so if I ever do 
that, get mad at me as a user, not as a world master :-).  


Petr, I'm sorry you feel that I'm trying to limit free speech here, 
or to control anyone's behavior; I made some *suggestions* I thought 
were appropriate. I spent a *lot* of time writing and editing my 
posts in the hope that they weren't too strong, but still got my 
view across. If you think that you should be able to use this world 
for anything you want, personally, I disagree; it's RTs world and 
we are guests in their house. If there is something specific in my 
posts that offended you, please let me know what it was.


As a user, I haven't been around much lately. Mostly my schedule 
is the cause, but maybe it's also because the technical value of 
the world has been diluted (IMO) by noise, so I'm just not as "driven" 
to come here and make time to participate. I'm normally on dial-up, 
so that affects download time, yes. Right now, I'm on a fast connection 
but the noise is still a problem because I have to visit all the 
groups that come up red to see what's new, and if I only have a small 
amount of time to spend, it may all get eaten up just skimming what 
others posted. Also, the more noise there is, and the more we get 
in the habit of talking about non-technical stuff here (again, this 
is all *my* opinion), the more chance there is for it to leak out 
into other groups, and it does. 


The camaraderie comes from the people; the technical value comes 
from the experts  who often focus on that aspect and may stop coming 
if there's too much noise here. When that happens, the value of the 
world is diminished. 


Well, my time is long gone for writing here, but I hope that helps 
clarify my position.

there will be a download...not everything is up yet.  The one-page, 
then a more complete one and the two spreadsheets will be in a downloadable 
archive.

Steve, here you can download my contribution to the Spreadsheet Contest:
http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/cyphres.sht
(hope I win :-))

I'd better download and test the latest view before I submit a report.

I've just found 'request-download function and it seems to me it's 
buggy. Can anybody confirm this?

>> request-download http://rebol.com
connecting to: rebol.com
** Script Error: Cannot use insert on this type port
** Where: read-thru
** Near: write/binary file data
if all

request-download - where did you find it ?

Are you aware of my batch-download function ?

The request-download bug above I think is caused because file is 
actually a directory. So, the port type is 'directory and so the 
insert fails.

request-download usually works fine, you just need to provide a file. 
it downloads to the cache by default.

yes, because read http://rebol.comworks ok, so i think reqeuset-download 
http://rebol.comshould too

Anton: I know about your batch download, I was just looking for some 
other request function

Actually, no it doesn't cause an error. It doesn't download anything 
though.

The request-download bug is a bug in read-thru. Fix the bug in read-thru 
and you fix the bug in request-download.

is your callback function returning a value? i think it should return 
true normally, or false if you want to cancel the download.

Use request-download as a guide. It has everything you need to know. 
you should be able to substitute read-thru with read-net if you wish.

Janek. request-download has the example callback you need. View its 
source. here is a snippet. Where prog is the progressbar and stat 
is a label in your layout and stop is a value that controls that 
should be be set false outside of this func to start with, and can 
set to true via a cancel button to force a download to stop before 
completion. 
func [total bytes] [
        prog/data: bytes / (max 1 total) 
        stat/text: reform [bytes "bytes"] 
        show [prog stat] 
        not stop
    ]

the problem with the standard rebol pop protocol is that it doesn't 
allow you to download the headers only.

You could use Andrew Martin's map function to achieve this

do http://www.rebol.org/library/scripts-download/arguments.r; 
Needs

do http://www.rebol.org/library/scripts-download/map.r; Instantiate
map func [a][2 * a] [1 2 3 4 5 6] ; supply the function to map

[MDP-GUI DEV NEWS ] I improved the rendering speed by 300% integrating 
the MDViewer rendering method that ASHLEY created. That new algorithm 
really rocks !!! I had to change the inline formating flags to conserv 
the most speed. I conserv the ashley way to deal with inline marcker 
has HTML tags (e.g: <b>text bold</b>) I adapt ashley's code for all 
little  other différences that exist beetwin MD2 and MDP format. 
Next step is to enhance the toc rendering process. I remade the first 
start up process. I plan to give MDP-GUI.r, make-doc.r, make-doc.txt, 
ms-word.gif, in a single ZIP archive that make easier the release 
and use. As johnatemps says to me people wants to download and use 
and not try to configure the program durring lot of time.

So, I have made some enhancements to MDP and put a beta online. You 
can find it at: http://www.robertmuench.de/download/make-doc-pro.r

The following changes have been made:
*Bugs fixed:*

#State tracking flags weren't correct, could lead to strange results 
when using tables where cell text used inline markup. Especially 
in site-mode.

*New Features:*

#Code can now be included via ~=include code <filename>~ where the 
included code will be automatically indented and hence handled like 
an example by the output format emitter.

*Programmatic changes:*
#Celeaned up the global word pollution (Thanks to Ahsley Truter)

#Renamed ~generate-files~ function to ~scan-doc~ to meet MD2 wording

http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/text/bnf.html

I'm currently updating the documentation, I'll post in [Announce] 
when it will be ready for download.

I didn't made it before because I wanted to keep track of the download 
stats (usefull info to estimate the size and activity of the community), 
but it's no more necessary, the community seems to be stable since 
several years now.

As a script owner on REBOL.org you have access to up-to-the-minute 
access and download stats.

MySQL Driver for REBOL version 1.1.0 released.


    Changes : http://softinnov.org/rebol/mysql-usage.html#sect2.1.
    Download: http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/

MySQL driver release v.1.1.2 Download at : http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql

- Fix for an infinite loop issue when the server times out the connection 
(unix platforms).

- TCP keepalive option activated by default (for longstanding idle 
connections).

- Send-cmd function optimized to be a little bit faster and use less 
memory.
- Added new-lines markers to resulting recorsets.

- Added option to switch on/off new-lines marker through port/locals/newlines? 
flag.

- Recycle call removed from read-rows function. Should speed up the 
results a little bit.
- Minor source code cleanup.

MySQL driver release v.1.2.0 - Download at : http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql
- Changed behaviour and syntax of the READ function.
- Fix for parsing correctly quoted empty strings. (Fix by Oldes)

- Fix for the driver loosing local flags, like 'flat, 'auto-ping?,... 
when reconnecting (thanks to Will Arp)

- Fix a remanence issue on /flat and /raw flags in 'send-sql after 
automatic reconnection. (thanks to Will Arp)

- Improved port recovery support after a failed request upon a shutdown 
server.
- An init SQL string can now be specified for an opened port.

I've just upload a new experimental 1.3 version of MySQL driver supporting 
mutiple queries, stored procedures and multiple result sets. Reading 
mutiple results is done by calling COPY for each result. Download 
at http://softinnov.org/tmp/mysql-protocol-41.r

for large query results is there a way to show a progress bar as 
an indicator of the download progress?

Is there some type of callback method like "read-net"?

I'm hosting a large number of text docs broken up by sections in 
a mysql db. Once all the material is on line the changes (and thus 
downloads) wil be smal for the most part. But in the mean time large 
amounts of material are still to be uploaded to the db and when a 
client finds this new material it will download it and any changes 
to previous material. The material contains a lot of image data too 
so it could add up. Right now I have about 40 megs of data and I 
have about 10X more to upload.


If its too tuff for me I will just display some animated gif but 
I would prefer something more tangible..

I'll look into your suggestion, Thanks Doc...


BTW I tried the latest mysql-protocol and it broke my app. I have 
not had a chance to look into it but I think you changed some syntax 
for selects??
I'm using Version: 1.1.2 at the moment.

I would like to fix path-thru so it can handle query strings, as 
links to rebol.org scripts have. eg. http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=slim.r

I think it's request-download makes reference to a user-prefs object 
which should be included in the main view sources.

SURFNet detective does this. I don't know how they do it, but when 
I've done this kind of thing, basically, there's a server process 
you can ping to find out the latest version, or just a place you 
can download files and you can check timestamps and sizes, to see 
if there's somethnig new available. 


Also, consider if you need to download the whole app, or if you can 
structure it so the main app is just a kernel, and the parts that 
are likely to change to loadable modules. That's how AltME works, 
and the Detective as well. Then, of course, you want to sign the 
modules to make sure nobody spoofs you into loading malicious code.

It was a strange problem I think.  I think I had a pro key and an 
sdk key - that is my only explaination for the problem because Cindy 
sent me a copy of my original SDK download and that key worked on 
the newer one so I think I may have been using the wrong key file.

Encap/Face 1.2.0 is a little old - current is 1.3.2, just like with 
View. This is part of the 2.6.2 SDK, available for download for a 
while now.

So a script should be able to check for the latest version and download 
it into the public cache (which may be successful or not, depending 
if net connection is available), eg:
	do load-thru http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/get-latest.r
and then just
	do path-thru http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/rebgui.r

to initialize (which automatically falls back to any previously cached 
version).

Graham - it is basic logic - try to move face per pixel - you get 
very jerky result, slow. Then download some Scala demo - AMAZING. 
You will FEEL the difference. And Carl told us some time ago, that 
rebol already uses double-buffering ...

ah, I see that is addressed if I go to the download page, rather 
than just clicking links in AltME :-)

did you download the whole archive first?

unfortunatelly you will have to do that on every release until you 
download those images

but i think if you download the first beta release it has those images

Hi, just few notes .... 


1) why new versions are not released as complete ones? The download 
is small already. I tried to point out my friend to it, and he missed 
0.3 version or so, which is required ...


2) box definitely does not resize properly. Still, so far, Romano's 
system was the most complete and the least errorless version I saw. 
Try to move resizing window here or there and you will get even cases 
as three lines of color boxes, no spacing, mixed together ...


3) lists - are we ready to overcome rebol limitation here? It works 
better, but still not flawlessly and not in system friendly manner: 
a) when moving "too fast" with mouse, it stays open b) in above and 
and other cases, ESC shoudl close it c) I understand we have use 
some "excuses" and workaraound for now, but that is not the way to 
go in future d) when moving away, it should stay open, last hilited 
item should stay hilited, close on esc, close on click-away, should 
be foxusable, ability to be driven by keyboard  - that is the only 
system friendly way


4) text-list multi mode - ctrl works, shift too, ctrl A too, but 
not in a system friendly way once again. Maybe I should check first, 
but IIRC, it should work following way - ctrl selects particular 
items. BUT - it should also deselect them - try ctrl A and then, 
holding Ctrl, press some item - it does not deselects them - that 
is imo wrong. Also - shift should mark all items between point of 
last press and active mouse position, deselecting all the rest, even 
if previsously selected ...

My setup: http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/rebgui/download.r, but 
american.dat is big. then try the area in tour.

yeah, the download script needs to preserve the file dates :)

Doc, what I want to do is do some text to speech using a 3rd party 
web service.  I need to download the generated wave file and play 
it by inserting it into a sound port.

The read would be blocking if I use sync read, and then playing it 
thru a sound port in my experience does interfere with async tcp.

In a nutshell, is this sort of activity suitable for a task-master 
service .. and is there a simple sample of such a service?
The task would be triggered from an RSP page

So, if I understand correcty, you need to download a file on client 
side from a web server without blocking on the client side ?

I've got Univserve/cheyenne running on localhost.  I want my client 
to ask uniserve to download a file using one of it's processes and 
then play it through a sound port.  My client uses a http request 
and wants that to be non blocking ie. return immediately.  The client 
may itself not be capable of doing an async request.

Graham: Have you consiered the alternative approach of calling a 
text-to-speech program on the client?


Of course, this facility is builtin to Mac OS.Google pointed me to 
this for other clients :
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/download.html

NSVTOOLS download http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/nsvtools-setup.exe

Files are 1-2 Mb. Ziped archives of dbf files.

As I said now I'm using small rebol script to send file as attachment, 
human on the other side is downloading them and unpacking them, and 
its working.

I planed to make a "server" side script that would download newly 
arrived attachments and unpack them in designated folders, but then 
I thought about trying some real client-server approch...

Then again, server would have to be started at the time of transfer. 
I have to know ip adresses and to make them public (hamachi jumps 
in as help)...

E-mail used as buffer for data is not bad... And it works... But 
I have to check max mailbox size .... What if workers execute sending 
script more then ones?

There is one strange thing with sending big (>1 Mb) files::

On win98 it goes without any problem. On XP at the end of transfer 
rebol returns an error message about network timeout, but the file 
is sent and all is ok..

Thanks guys... Lot of info... Will check it out and send my experiences.

It does not help..... :(

As I wrote before... It worked without problem for half a year.... 
now I have new provider... if I connect my pc directly to WAN it 
works.... When I connect PC to my router lan port it does not.... 
Everything else works.... HTTP , FTP from Total commander... upload 
download...., torrents work....

Anton, can you see anything wrong with this ... crashes Rebol

Hi Henrik, 

I've had some really nice experiences with Qtask. Just upload a zip 
of all the files you might need, and download only those ones you 
actually need in a given situation. Real sweet.

This are two of a series of four (2 more to come in the next 2 weeks 
(if I remember correctly)) talks about capability security. I think 
they're highly educational, interesting and anyway important to widen 
ones view on security issues we face nowadays. Highly recommended.

them)

Python 2.5 released - major release after 20 months of development 
- http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/

With an architecture where the presentation code is written purely 
in code, and not a combination of code and markup, and is delivered 
as a single simple download to run in a real language runtime, then 
things can be simplified significantly.

...but doesn't View have the potential to offer better performance 
than JavaScript frameworks such as Tibco and dojo. (And from what 
I see time taken to download of View is not significantly different 
from that to download a JavaScript framework).

I'm getting errors when I try to insert a binary file into sqlite


I have no problem when I read/binary an image from disk and insert 
it but when I download it from a mysql db its saving as those crazy 
text characters.


I'm converting it back to binary with "to-binary" and when I probe 
it it looks right but it keeps converting back to the original mysql 
output...

Any ideas what might be going on?


I can view the outputed image  from mysql when I use to-binary so 
I know that its not currupted.

just download it and try it

hu, I never saw that download page :)

wow.. first rebol download > 1MB :)

You don't need to use apt-get for sqlite, just download the latest 
library and put it in your app folder near sqlite.r : http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.6.11.so.gz
(I guess you'll need to rename it to libsqlite3.so).

ICU seems to have such library with nice license... Unfortunately 
the Binary-only package for one platform is like 10Megabytes..
http://icu-project.org/download/4.2.html#ICU4C

but now I have another question to brainstorm - I wanted to popularise 
rebol a bit on OSNews.com - they are very open and their site is 
being visited some 100K hits a month. I wanted to post View 1.3.2. 
news, but asked for advice here on AltME, as OS-X port may not be 
ready for public adoption. On the other hand, other products get 
posted even with much smaller updates. So the question is - should 
we post REBOL 3.0 news? Some may say - pots, once there is some product 
to download. But - REBOL 3.0 is also about documentation, and the 
announcement Carl posted asks also for C coders and other kind of 
help. As a side note, we could point ppl to try View 1.3.2 - at least 
Windows and Linux users could be attracted. What do others think? 
Should we wait further? But that way we will not get any publicity 
ever ....

Can't answer how long it will take, but we probably need to meld 
code from these two scripts together:
Carl's blog.r

updated source code for download

I'm finishing a mod-qm for Cheyenne. I'll need to test it and will 
drop here a download URL.

There was a question a while back about a REBOL web log analyser. 
 TGD did one.

AnalyseIt!.  Needs a license from TGD though.  It states personal 
use, but kakked when

I tried it under 2.7.6.4.2.  Perhaps they sensed I was days away

Cheyenne v0.9.10.0 re-released due to a wrong version of the %uni-engine.r 
file. Sorry for that. Download link: http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r09100.zip

Not having much luck with PHP... test.php would rather download than 
execute.

Cheyenne release v0.9.12 beta. Download at http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r0912.zip

Changelog :


 o do-sql function improved to support RT's DB drivers. /flat refinement 
 is 
	  supported now too. ODBC insert error fixed too.
	
	o RConsole prompt changed to "Server>"
	
	o CGI's 'path-info now returns the request URL.
	

 o Fixed a bug in RSP session destruction potentially corrupting the 
 internal 
	  session list and giving weird results or behaviour.
	  

 o Fixed a timezone computation bug that was setting incorrect expire 
 times for 

   session cookies, resulting in unstable behaviour. All platforms except 
   Windows.
	  

 o Small patch to parse-request-line func in HTTPd.r to be more 'mod-rewrite 
	  friendly.

If you want to try this method for windows.. here's what you do.. 


1) download the windows binary from openssl.. ->   http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

2) Unzip.. and pull out the openssl.exe file from the bin folder.. 
. drop that file into your cheyenne www folder
3) Create a self-signed cert....
3a) run openssl.exe

3b) enter this line: req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 
-keyout localhost.pem -out localhost.pem
(localhost is the cert name)

3c) answer the questions... when asked 'who are you?' enter your 
domain,  or 'localhost' as I did 

This will generate the cert in your www folder (this is just a demo... 
the openssl server uses it's location as root www folder)

4) Start up the server... enter this line into openssl:  s_server 
-accept 443 -cert localhost.pem -WWW


Now open any file in your Cheyenne www folder using the https:// 
 protocol

Isn't this just a mime-type issue?  Get the extension/file-type and 
let the browser
handle the download off a link?  Or am I missing something?

when the client clicks on the download, I have to retrieve the file 
from outside the web space

try it in REBOL console, download and save the tiff file and try 
to open it to verify that your image is ok.

It doesn't seem that FF can handle TIFF files natively, I don't have 
the QT plugin so FF just propose me to download the file. I can see 
the TIFF file using my favorite imaging app, so no problem with the 
TIFF image.

Cheyenne release v0.9.13 beta. Download at http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r0913.zip

Changelog :


 o Session cookie management refactored. Cookies are now cached in 
 memory. 
	  Fixes all issues related to timezone.
	  

 o HTTPd request pipeline refactored. It's now more reliable, little 
 faster and

   able to handle extreme situations (stressing with FasterFox). Several 
   core parts
	  of Cheyenne have been touched, so watch out for regressions.
	  

 o Added 'forward method to RSP's Response object (now possible thanks 
 to the 
	  new pipeline engine).
	  

 o Internal modules API changed : 'deferred? property removed (not 
 needed 
	  anymore with new pipeline).
	  

 o Added 'on-status-code option in config file (see example in %httpd.cfg).
	  

 o do-sql now catches internal errors, so they can be more easily 
 located in 
	  calling context.

There's another anomaly I have with IE.  If you login as guest and 
click on the link immunizations, it tries to download the page instead 
of showing the 404 handler page which does work with FF.

I'll download 9.13 now

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.

that was a message for doc... and sorry if reading it , it sounds 
like an order.. <phew> sooo not intentional...  the download link 
I mean, on the main cheyenne root page... you really should update 
that root page its seems to be like 6 months old now!

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.

I guess I'd better download curl and use that to test with

Pekr, download vmware, or virtualbox and install XP.

Cheyenne new version 0.9.16 is ready. The new FastCGI multiplexed 
support took me some time to debug, but the resulting PHP interfacing 
is now really stable. I just need to update the RSP API doc and run 
a few tests, so the download link will be published here in a couple 
of hours.

Cheyenne release v0.9.16 beta. Download at http://softinnov.org/tmp/cheyenne-r0916.zip

Changelog :

v0.9.16 - 12/07/2007
	
	o Localization framework added to RSP. API overview :
	
		- #[text] in static parts of RSP pages will be translated.
		

  - new function: say "data" : translate a string! value in the current
		  language.
		  
		- session's new 'lang variable can set the current language.
		
		- new config file options to control default language and 
		  locales resources folder.
		

 o Decode-cgi rewrote from scratch. Cleaner and 2-3 times faster than 
 before.
	

 o RSP request params decoding rewrote. Now GET and POST parameters 
 are unified
	  in request/content.
	  
	o BugFix for encapping %misc/mime-types file.
	

 o File upload support redesigned. Now big files (user defined threshold) 
 are

   directly written to disk in temporary files, instead of being held 
   in memory.

   The temporary files are deleted once the request is completed. So 
   now

   Cheyenne supports files upload up to 2Gb (R2 port! limitation).
	  

 o CGI execution extended to any scripts (not just REBOL). If found, 
 the

   shebang line (#!) is honored (on all platforms). Several perl scripts
	  added in %www/ folder as demo.
	  

 o Module's 'on-started event now fired only once, when multiple HTTPd 
 instances
	  are listening on more than one port.
	  

 o New module : mod-extapp for launching and managing external applications.

   Only the start and shutdown actions are currently supported. Load 
   balancing
	  will be included in future.
	
	o FastCGI protocol reliability improved and some bugs fixed.
	
	o RSP-API documentation updated.

Firefox offers me download of test.php, instead of executing it? 
Maybe a mime-type incorrectly set?

it should not offer me to download the script, or it is security 
issue imo :-)

Is Detective sources available somewhere, I can't find the download 
link ?

RSP is the best way and the faster inexecution/response time (instead 
of Apache cgi, it doesn't need to load rebol and your init library 
at each request), to do dynamic stuff with Cheyenne. The API is very 
sleek and you can read about it in the downloadable documentation 
part of Cheyeene download.

if you are on os x download "audio hijack pro" http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
 u can pipe the sound trhu equalizers, filters, ecc

Graham - maybe you have to download some firmware update for the 
cam first to resolve the buggy software :-)

i download this game but don't understand how to win

bought ! The download is a bit slow, less than 200 K/sec
