but it would be more relevant to post such request in "i'm new"

this is easy to figure out using firebug  ;-)


redirect the html page to a server you have cheyenne running and 
save out the whole http request, you will have url and post data 
:-)

RPCs and message passing are quite different things and whole code 
logic works differently .. async message passing is " send and pray 
" (quote by Erlang inventor) model while RPC are "request response" 
.. I have been folowing erlang and message passing for so long but 
I wanted to see how it really is in practice thats why I started 
making this actor-net rebol library

Anton, the source to OPEN is there, so no, it's not closed source. 
:) QUERY on HTTP does a HEAD request.

But if I do a wireshark trace, I see this

403 Forbidden


The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. 
Authorization will not help and the request should not be repeated. 
If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make 
public why the request has not been fulfilled, it should describe 
the reason for the refusal in the entity body. This status code is 
commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why 
the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.

I'm more interested in debugging bad requests ... where Amazon explains 
the reasons for the bad request in the body returned.

I don't criticize them for not conforming, HTTP is missing decent 
auth mechanisms. But still, that is an error, and should behave, 
by default, as an error. As I said above, for special cases you need 
to override the default behavior. I think that the header and request 
body shoud be available in the port, but it should still throw an 
error.

yep. it might already be there as a request.

So there we are, by request. Any comments?

Working on LOAD this week, actually. Already fixed one bug earlier, 
now working on a tricky blog request.

Ask in chat or CureCode, Carl won't see the request here.

It's best to ask in CureCode anyways, because the request will stay 
there where we can find it until the issue is fixed.

The yes and no keywords of R3's CONSTRUCT were added at my request. 
We'll have to see whether the enhanced function can be backported 
to R2 safely. There are other changes as well, mostly safety changes, 
and a CONSTRUCT/only option that turns all of the tricks off.

I have a question about 'unique that could become a feature request.

Somebody ask (on the french Rebol forum) how he could remove the 
duplicate records from this dataset :
database: [
	a "b" "c 1" "d"
	a "b" "c 2" "d" 
	a "b" "c 3" "d"
	a "b" "c 2" "d" ;ligne 4 to delete
	a "b" "c 5" "d" 
	a "b" "c 6" "d" 
	a "b" "c 7" "d" 
	a "b" "c 2" "d" ;ligne 8 to delete
]

My first though was "use 'unique func". But it turns out that it 
can't do what I though.

As usual, the doc tells nothing about that (in fact it ells pretty 
nothing on the func), but with the /skip refinment, it seems it only 
checks the first value at each skip position (so the 'a in this dataset), 
not all the values of the record.

I saw this request several times in the past, far far away...

2.7.6 Demo of RebGUI.  If you try the spinner, Ctrl-MouseWheel then 
later try Functions/Requestors request-ui it fails with
** Script Error: Invalid argument: $10.00
** Where: init
** Near: all [not empty? text data: to type? first options text]
para/margin/x: size/y
p:

Where the invalid argument is the same data as the last Ctrl-Mousewheel. 
 So it could be 9:00, 18:00, $10.00 etc.
I haven't tracked through any of the code yet, being a lazy git.

Anyone done a request-calculator requester ?

Uploaded build 124 with new request-calc requestor (as per discussion 
from 20-Apr-2009).

RebGUI v2 RC1 (build 200) uploaded to SVN

Focus of this version has been:
	* Make it look good (color scheme based on Windows 7)

 * Take into account OS sensibilities (different corner rounding, 
 window colors, system fonts)

 * Get rid of the cruft (removal of little-used widgets and options)
	* Improve tabbing
	* Make it load and run faster



Added
	icon
	get-fonts
	confirm
	request
	request-calc
	requesst-verify
	rebface/old-color
	rebface/over?



Reimplemented
	arrow
	calendar
	drop-list
	password
	slider
	tool-bar
	set-state
	set-color



Enhanced
	chat
	edit-list
	spinner
	table
	request-char
	request-font



Removed
	question
	request-ui
	pie-chart
	symbol
	options [info no-click]
	options [arrow options]


WIP
	A disable/enable function and layout option
	Rewrite of led widget
	Rewrite of tree widget

request-char somehow misbehaves here.  1) the scroller is of wrong 
size, when window appears 2) right area is drawn without the box, 
which starts to appear, when I mouse over edge chars 3) consecutive 
display of request-char displays much larger screen (run from RebDOC 
interface)

request-char crashed for me.

I clicked on request-char in rebdoc.r and got this


** Script Error: request-progress expected steps argument of type: 
integer
** Where: get-fonts
** Near: request-progress/title (length? s) / 3 [
    foreach [fn reg style] s [
        fn: trim first parse/all fn "("
       ...

hmm, SVN says:

changed from single color web like look to some W9x look, was there 
any reason?
 ... commercial reality ;)
where would I have changed the font?
 ... ctx-rebgui/effects/font
request-char somehow misbehaves here
 ... bug, noted
fonts must be handled differently in w7s

 ... I don't have access to W7 at home, but will check this Monday 
 at work
where do I set my UI options?

 Design time with ctx-rebgui/effects, /colors /behaviors and /sizes

 Adding request-ui back so you can alter these values from a GUI is 
 trivial ... what I've removed is the rebind logic that enabled you 
 to dynamically change values (i.e. you would have to re-do %rebgui.r 
 to see any UI changes take effect ... not very practical for an SDK 
 app)
they look like W9x

 ... the color scheme (with the colors/page change noted above) is 
 taken straight from W7
don't like gradiented buttons/tab
 ... based on W7 and Mac
I thought Ashley wanted to go more web way, not desktop app way

 ... I've actually gone for something halfway (simpler than OS, more 
 complex than Web)
is it using a smaller font?

 ... 12pt by default as always (maybe W7 renders it differently than 
 XP?)
everything seems much smaller
 ... bigger screen? ;)
I would welcome tour.r would fit 1280x800 notebook

 ... RC1 is about getting the basic functionality right, %tour.r and 
 %RebDOC.r will both be made to run 1024x768
used to fit
 ... they havn't been reworked yet
Windows XP with 1366 x 768 ...
 ... will be fixed with above

Build 201 uploaded
- Added request-error
- Enhanced request-verify
- Added set-enable
- Added set-disable
- Added layout disable option
- Enhanced led widget
- Enhanced radio-group

Example disable/enable usage

display "test" [
	f: area "Blah" disable
	button "Enable" [set-enable f]
	button "Disable" [set-disable f]
]
do-events

Build 203
- Better icons for alert, help, info & stop
- Removed tool-tip widget and supporting code
- Added ctx-rebgui/on-error object
- request-error: added icon
- request-password: added icon
- request-password: added cancel button
- request-value: added icon
- request-verify: added icon
- request-progress: added icon
- display: added no-wait option to fix request-progress
- Table: fixed resizing artifacts
- Table: added 'no-sort option
- Table: added 'no-resize option
- Table: added 'fixed-sort option
- Fixed layout/only (it ignored disable)
- Removed %images dir
- updated tour.r and RebDOC.r

A small example of using the new request-error function to handle 
errors in a user-friendly fashion:

	do %rebgui.r
	if error? set/any 'err try [
		display "Main" [
			button 100x50 "Sub" [
				display "Sub" [button 50x25 "Error" [1 / 0]]
			]
		]
	]  [request-error err]

I've reverted the wait [] (do-events) behaviour back to what it was 
prior to build#203 ... so the logic is:

RebGUI v1
	display
		show face
		do-events
		attach window feel
		show face
		if dialog do-events
	do-events

RebGUI v2
	display
		attach window feel
		show face
		if dialog do-events
	do-events

which means the sample code above should now be written as:

	do %rebgui.r
	display "Main" [
		button 100x50 "Sub" [
			display "Sub" [button 50x25 "Error" [1 / 0]]
		]
	]
	if error? set/any 'err try [wait []] [request-error err]


In fact, that last idiom (wrapping the main event loop around a 'try 
/ request-error) is so basic I think I'll redfine it as a self-contained 
func (redefine do-events?).

Build 205
- Added request-list
- Added request-email
- Added do-events
- Updated request-spellcheck (added image)
- Updated request-error
- Updated request-value
- Label size now defaults to 25x5 (was -1x5)
- Replaced "attempt" logic tests with "error? try"
- Memory footprint drastically reduced
- Added no-wait to display func
- Updated request-progress to use display/dialog/no-wait
- Fixed button over state bug
- Fixed slider jerkiness

RebDoc request-error ends RebDoc - missing argument, ditto request-list, 
request-value crashes RebDoc (populated after request-speellcheck)

Build 206
- Fixed slider
- Fixed request-char
- Updated request-error
- Updated request-email
- Cosmetic changes to:
	- scroll-panel
	- led
	- led-group
	- radio-group
	- menu
	- sheet

Build 207
- Fixed slider bug (zero divide error when ratio = 1)
- Added find-key-face to needed funcs when not using view.r
- Added undisplay (does what unview/only does, but better)
- request-error now accepts string
- Removed gui-error (obsoleted by request-error)
- Removed find-face func
- Cosmetic changes to:
	- led
	- led-group
	- radio-group
	- chat
- Removed tip & over? attributes
- Made init, options & old-color attributes optional
- Made action & feel objects optional

- Replaced rebface, subface, gradface & btnface with baseface & gradface
- Added over? function
- icon changed to accept file name directly

- Added action/on-time event (used in conjunction with rate - see 
anim)
- Added table & text-list alternate row coloring

Build 208
- Fixed unfocus bug
- Fixed table focus bug
- Enhanced request-verify (auto-calc label widths)
- Reworked tree to use face-iterator
- Reworked request-dir

Build 209
- Fixed #LV span options for
	- button
	- group-box
	- panel
	- pill
- Fixed tab-panel tabbing
- Removed redundant scroll-panel from request-dir
- Reworked on-resize handling for most widgets
- Removed #O span option (made redundant by on-resize)
- Renamed span-size to span-init
- Improved popup handling (drop-list, menu, etc)


Note that this build has [temporarily] broken dialog modality (you 
can click outside of a dialog) and tab-panel action blocks.

You're on the right track. I'm trying to get an image in there without 
creating another face. The 3 places you can have an image in an existing 
face are: image, effect and edge. The first image I want to get in 
there is a folder icon so request-dir looks a bit better! ;)

Build 211
- Moved base objects from ctx-rebgui to system/view
- Removed all dependencies on View/VID mezz code
- Rewrote and added show-popup & hide-popup functions
- Removed style widget
- Inlined popup logic
- Converted internal images from base 16 to base 64
- Cursor keys now work in choose (drop-list, edit-list & menu)
- pad option in layout enhanced to accept pair! (pixels)
- Added tooltips to tool-bar
- Added request-edit
- Improved resize logic
- Fixed request-dir (resize bug)
- Fixed slider (resize bugs)

Build 212
- set-title enhanced to search for parent
- fixed request-edit title bug
- removed append-widget
- removed set-values
- updated get-values
- improved tool-bar tooltip spacing

My requestor comments, mostly cosmetic issues:

- request-error - crashes ....
- request-font - proportionally tall, should be wider imo
- request-menu - does not work, at least in terms of RebDOC
- requestor icons - imo a little big

- request-password - "strange" - needs more spacing when separator 
line is applied imo.


Take my comments easy. It is just that I was able to find 1px difference 
on our company website - 14 vs 15 pixel in one paragraph :-)

just that I was able to find 1px difference on our company website 
- 14 vs 15 pixel in one paragraph

 NP, I've actually been using DigitalColor Meter on my Mac to find 
 both pixel and RGB discrepancies ... so when you see something like 
 "pad 0x-1" in request-edit you now know its because I wanted to collapse 
 two 1 pixel edge borders into a single shared 1 pixel border. As 
 I mentioned elsewhere, its attention to trivial aesthetic details 
 like this that make the overall UI "look good".

I'd like to see an option to use a vertical layout for request-value

Back to your request-value question, does the prompt for:


 request-value "Enter the url for your website here. It looks h t 
 t p ://www.site.com"


appear on 3 lines? If so, what would you enhancement request (vertical 
layout option) do? (not wrap the prompt and extend the field width 
to match prompt text width?)

Back to your request-value prompt wrap issue ... I just tried it 
under WinXP with build#212 and I get 3 wrapped lines of text. Does 
your requestor have a big blue question mark icon in the top-left 
corner?

Yes, it is request-value

Try request-edit instead.

Bottom line is the current request-value works the way you requested/expected?

Ashley - request-edit from RebDOC looks nice, it even scrolls, but 
it somehow misbehaves on my system. 

1) The Window could be smaller - does not even fit my 1280x800

2) When I try to resize it from the top, the window jumps around 
100pixels below

3) editing - only typing works ... e.g. hilighting by mouse does 
not work (strange, as it works for fields)
4) scroller misbehaves too ....

I second Bobik's request - when I hilite text by mouse, I expect 
the area to autoscroll, to allow me to select more of text, not just 
the visible part ...

Autoscroll and request-edit issues noted.

Build 213
- layout moved to global context
- renamed request-edit to editor
- renamed set-enable to enable
- renamed set-disable to disable
- added in-widget function
- enable/disable now accept block of faces
- fixed arrow/list bug
- changed popup auto-hide from away to click
- fixed menu
- added toggle widget
- changed hard-coded green/red to use colors/true & false
- updated tour.r and RebDOC.r

Build 214
- updated toggle (2x2 edge on select)
- added missing btn widget
- added missing chat widget
- added flash requestor
- added request-about
- renamed request-password to request-pass

Flash is used as follows:

	...
	flash "message"
	...
	hide-popup
	wait []
	...

request-about is used as follows:


 request-about/url "MyProj" 0.0.1 "Copyright (c) MyCo" "www.site.com" 
 ; or a url!


Note the logo is located in ctx-rebgui/images/logo and defaults to 
the info icon ... replace with your own logo image as follows:

Build 215
- fixed editor
- fixed clear-text (check for disable)
- fixed set-text (check for disable)
- fixed set-texts (check for disable)
- ESC no longer auto terminates main display
- added make-dir to request-dir
- replaced request-file with RebGUI version
- updated request-value to trim return value
- fixed slider bug in RebDOC

Why RebGUI uses request-file non-native requestor? For more GUI consistency?

Why RebGUI uses request-file non-native requestor?
	- GUI consistency
	- speed
	- functionality
	- native requestor is broken on OS X

Can editor's position/size be set?

 - I can make the default smaller, what's your notebook screen res?

 - I'll probably add a /size refinement as well (I can see how you 
 might need a small or large editor in certain situations)

Er, this is weird.


I filled in a domain transfer request for Webarama, and because it 
was a .com they asked for an Authorization code from Webhero ... 
which I asked for, obtained and provided. My Webarama domain list 
includes dobeash.com, says its active and due for renewal next year. 
Webhero then said they were going to autobill me for another year 
of hosting etc so I cancelled all my services with them figuring 
that once that occured I'd [eventually] be left with a blank www.dobeash.com 
site which I'd rebuild from backup. That was several days ago.


Any ideas on what I should do? (it's after 5pm here so I can't contact 
Webarama to confirm ownership).

Build 216
- resized editor
- added /size refinement to editor
- fixed edit-list
- fixed request-file (returns full path)

Ashley;  RebDOC feature request.  How hard would it be to add a Keywords 
tab to this uber handy app?  (Second part of the request being a 
please please if it won't take too much of your time)

Build 217
- added dbl-click support to request-dir
- added keywords to RebDOC (descriptions to follow in build#218)

Build 218
- fixed area resize bug
- added dbl-click support to request-file
- added /only refinement to request-dir
- improved editor save logic
- generalized RebDOC keyword support
- face-iterator now supports toggle-row

I often have the need to set a date on a field ... and use a symbol 
to invoke the request-date .. .but this usually means I have to name 
the date field like this


datefld: field 25 symbol data 'look on-click [ use [d][ if d: request-date 
[ set-text datefld form d ]]]


To avoid naming the datefield, I have this function which returns 
the prior face


get-prior-widget: func [ f
    /local pane priorface
][
    pane: f/parent-face/pane
    priorface: pick pane -1 + index? find pane f
]

and here's a request date that uses it


request-date-priorface: func [ f /local d ]
[
    if d: request-date [
        set-text get-prior-widget f form d
    ]
]

so we can now do:


 field 25 symbol data 'look on-click [  request-date-priorface face 
 ]

In RebDOC, Request-font throws an error ...

I want to give Rebgui a try for an app i need to do. So, i need a 
tree in there, which should be filled from database request  when 
the app starts. Not via button click.  Can anybody give me a small 
example how to achive this. Searched the docs, but couldn't find 
something like that.  And be kind with me as i am not too familiar 
with Rebgui till now. I downloaded build 218. What i tried so far 
is set-data via button, but that doesn't seem to work.  A sample 
would drastically shorten my way to get this working. Thanks in Advance!!

RebGUI (b117 and later) does *not* redefine layout. It does however 
redefine alert, confirm and many of the request-* functions.

The fact that starting a fresh console session and entering:


 view layout [box black 100x100 effect [draw [pen white text "Hello"]]]


no longer works on the linux and Mac ports of REBOL is I believe 
a REBOL/VIew bug (despite a workaround that may work for VID but 
not RebGUI).

It's not a big deal. Steeve can post to Curecode and request for 
a clean up.

I'm seconding your request :)

Same with Steeve's scalar math request.

I'm thinking about putting in an enhancement request.

there is a better way to write that request: AT should support block 
directly as index.

But those are supposing you know the index length.   I was hoping 
to avoid that with my request.

Oh Geez, you want protect the vector from modifications ?
So forget my request, vectors will be of no use

can I just express humble request that if you will have something 
like map in "core" please also have accumulate .. they are cousins 
if you use one you will also the other .. (like map-reduce) :)

Above reminds me - does our parse enhancement proposal contain request 
to continuous (streamed) parsing? I can imagine parse being fast 
enough to have REBOL level codecs. But surely I don't want to read/part 
manually, nor do I want to read 1GB of video into RAM, just to find 
out, what the codec is :-)

It's not the AT series path request that's the problem.

Sorry, the code-vs-data distinction I made above isn't really a code-vs-data 
distinction, it's a path-vs-stack-referencing one. Janko and I have 
been talking about something other than your AT series path request.

The chat protocoll doesn't know how to request a specific message 
from the server, all is loaded in local and the requests are performed 
in your client memory

If I understand it correctly, Carl is leaving for vacation in France 
at the end of the week. So - what last minute fixes do we request, 
before Carl vanishes for 2 or so weeks? :-)

put it to R3 chat, Carl may honor your request

As for why it might be misguided, that is because the stated purpose 
of that request - recovering the module in serialized form - is definitely 
impossible, and would be a major security hole if it were possible 
(which is part of why it is not).

Request ... I would like now/time to always return the seconds.

I prefer consistency. Consistency makes it more easily human readable, 
despite all these "humanizing" algorithms. So I support Graham's 
request.

Max - re your request towards RXI - I thought that image datatype 
was already accessible via the API?

Geomol, you can protect values already in R3 with PROTECT. Request 
granted ahead of time :)

Robert - do you need such lazy evaluation? I mean - even 'alias seems 
being removed from R3. Don't we have enough of reflectivity? Anyway 
- anyone who imo wants to propose something, should definitely do 
so in terms of CureCode or R3 Chat, or Carl WILL NOT know about the 
request at all, and your only chance here will be BrianH :-)

For that matter, FUNCT/with implements something similar to what 
you request, but with functions instead of derived objects.

Because there has not been any discussion or proposals for what those 
mezzanines should be yet. There isn't even any CuureCode requests 
for such - only a request to get CGI working on Windows (it already 
does on Linux).

Simply put -let ppl choose, where they want to go. Even today, request/question 
about browser plugin appeared on ML. Some ppl are interested, and 
that is important ....

Henrik - what is your request specifically about?

Haha, now I know where your request comes from. Carl joking around 
Ruby console :-) http://www.rebol.com/article/0427.html

so basically, you build a little module in cheyenne which does a 
tcp exchange to your R3 server.  

the R3 server maps the request to a module, returns the molded result.

cheyenne then returns the value in an xml block which your ajax app 
did the request for.


allowing multiple handlers on the cheyenne side (and an equal amount 
of R3 servers) would allow you to support multiple concurrent users, 
but you'd have to map which R3 service is being used within the cheyenne 
module, in order to send your tcp request to a free R3 service.

does any of this make sense?

Actually, the R3 part can be handled by someone else, if you feel 
free to try. we should just agree on how to talk to eachother. I 
can submit an ajax request and then output whatever is returned in 
the console.

I am trying to do simple CGI tests, using Cheyenne, and in reference 
to following blog: http://www.rebol.net/r3blogs/0182.html

For: http://localhost/show.cgi?test- I do get:

Content-type GE te 127.0 


Why always only 2 bytes? Is that actually two bytes? I would say 
- two "elements"

The code is:

#!c:\!rebol\altme\worlds\r3-gui\files\rebdev\view.exe -q

REBOL [
    Title:      "show"
    File:       %show.cgi
]

print "Content-type: text/html^/"
print get-env "REQUEST_METHOD"
print get-env "QUERY_STRING"
print get-env "REMOTE_ADDR"
print newline

Is that R3 problem, or Cheyenne problem?

it does just the same as -q option, as per above blog article. If 
I provide no command option, I get strange output :-)


Checking for rebol.r file in /c/!reb Evaluating: Content-type make 
object! [ request-method: "GET" que

Pekr: Just try a quick test with: 
 print to binary! "Content-type: text/html^/"
 print to binary! get-env "REQUEST_METHOD"
 print to binary! get-env "QUERY_STRING"
 print to binary! get-env "REMOTE_ADDR"

to see if it is an encoding problem.

Ashley;  RebDOC feature request.  How hard would it be to add a Keywords 
tab to this uber handy app?  (Second part of the request being a 
please please if it won't take too much of your time)

yeah but what is the relation betwin the unicode and the fact that 
text instruction draws a text in black when i request it to be red 
?

font rendering not taking advantage of AGG i'm completly agree since 
anti aliased doesn't works properly but this should be the time on 
that particular area to see the font rendering area under a new line 
of real time text processing and their is alot  of amazing things 
to be done . 

in the end my request is simple i want my users to choose their own 
font they like on any ot the main OS brands and get the same result 
everywhere (even on online editing for example imagine the rebol.org 
integrating viva-rebol thrue rebol3 webrowser plugin  to allow the 
script sumiters and owner to share editing of a script with bunch 
of select people. That's the qualité we should aim for.)

re GUI - I proposed to set-up wiki page similar to Parse proposal. 
We have few request for View kernel itself, as well for VID.

pekr yeah but when you computer is already filled with HTTP request 
adding more "SQL requests" slow downs your HTTP or at least that's 
the way i see it and that maybe too why all the database builders 
created another entry point called odbc
