AltME groups: search

feature request: filter on users or users not in particular groups

Feature Request:  I'd like a one button push or automtated/timed 
solution to bring up the "Getting Started Window" OR remove focus 
from all groups.  Why?  If you aren't actually using AltME (it's 
running in the background), and you get new messages, the messages 
in the group you are currently 'in' aren't highlighted as new.  Which 
can make it confusing when the tool tells you a new message has been 
received, but you don't see a hightlight on any group (and don't 
check the time on the messages in the 'current' group).

I got another request that I think will be cool.  Add a private option 
to the calendar so that it can be run in a local mode so that the 
data isn't shared.  I would think it would be easy to add it since 
the calendar is already created.

small feature request: allow images typed in here, such as http://someurl.com/an_image.jpg
to be viewed in a popup-window rather than launching in a browser. 
would that be 3-5 lines of code? just allow the url to be recognized 
as a jpg, gif, png, bmp or whatever and view it here much faster 
and more convenient.

I just tried guest with a password of guest to correct the syncing 
problem.

It says guest/guest is no longer valid.


Is that just me, or what?  If not, how are new people to request 
an account? And how do I work around the sync bug?

Security-wise: removing teh guest account is a great idea

Marketing-wise: not so sure....adds another barrier to joining the 
REBOl community.


How do people find out how to request to be pre-approved?  (One possible 
way is for rebol.net mirror t have a form that sends an email [if 
I can use the E word] to the adminstrator)

We think alike -- I asked for that back on 11-jul in this group. 
No response.

Maybe it breaks the TOS...I can certainly see issues from an administrator's 
viewpoint.

A single resync id with a password available on request for those 
who need it.....That would work, I think.

In #3639, Oldes asks for a request-dir, same as request-file. I've 
always wanted these to be implemented in rebol. So I created my own, 
based on scroll-table.

Yes ok, it works now, thanks.
There is not only folders in your request-dir ?!!

Gabriele: Carl thought it was a possibility,  and asked me to add 
the request ro rambo so it did not get lost.

Given that we have a 'read-net func, would a 'write-net equivalent 
make sense? (could then have a [view] 'request-upload func to match 
'request-download)

what's the library response to Anton's request for webspace for the 
comlib project ?

well, why not to discuss it here - I found curious Carl's request 
to follow reboltak.com. It is interesting aspect - with various products, 
I am really used to on-line phorums (most of them require registration 
anyway). I am less and less willing to subscribe to some kind of 
MLs. OTOH, the interface is slow. Currently we've got ajax as a cure 
.... to get back where AltME is for few years already ....

Tried download again, there is a bug:
|| Downloading:   qml-ed.r/RS-NE+.gif
|| REQUEST FAILED...
|| REBOL.ORG says file not in package

well, I did all I can, for some reason, the same code under 1.2.10 
and 1.3.2 does not seem to request the same data on the server (I 
guess).

here is an error I got trying to go to the http-tools.r script...

Not Found


The requested URL /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r was not found 
on this server.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying 
to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How to make this work?

I'm trying to read each line from a file and add something before 
and after

thanks

foreach line read/lines (to-file request-file) [prin "before " prin 
line print " after"]

The to-file converts the response of request-file to the file! datatype 
which read/lines is expecting. The () are needed to ensure that the 
result of to-file is used as the argument

>> request-file
== [%/C/Izkata/Rebol/bay.jpg %/C/Izkata/Rebol/palms.jpg]
>> request-file/only
== %/C/Izkata/Rebol/palms.jpg

This might be better to keep anyone from choosing multiple files:

foreach line read/lines request-file/only [print ["before " line 
" after"]]

Could you help me anybody? I have a simple sequences of commands: 
  view layout [label "hello"]  tx: request-text "something" ... I 
need invoke request-text immediately after main window showed - not 
after the main window is closed...

so how can i get layout of requester(f.e. request-text) to do it 
?> insert tail system/view/sreen-face/pane/1/pane   <what?>

Yeah, they ported /Core 2.50 to WinCE on StrongARM at my request, 
but apparently I and my clients were the only ones interested. You 
can run this build on Windows Mobile but since this was for a Handheld 
PC it doesn't adjust its window to an onscreen keyboard, making it 
significantly less useful on the Pocket PC platform.

I will definitely request again when REBOL has Unicode support, probably 
with REBOL 3.

Michael, this is going to be a very general response to your request. 
 Review setting up parse rules and use something like...
   parse text any [rule1 | rule2 | rule3]

I've also noticed some "access error" messages from the server under 
heavy loads. A possible solution is to make connections persistent 
to avoid the open/close overhead for each request. This should solve 
most of these kind of issues.

@Gabrielle: AFAIK the scroller events just  fire the SQL requests 
when the scroller is moved. So the request can overlap in time. The 
simple trick above solved the problem.

It is going to become platform. You get access to a plugin API where 
you can plug-in 3rd db modules. (At leass the was the plan from DevCon'04). 
Don't know how things will change in the future. You can still request 
RT to upgrade the drivers.

The client now sends a request

The server may try a reverse dns request on your IP when you connect 
and ends with a timeout after 60secs.

My driver should reconnect automatically is the connection is closed 
by the server when you send a new request even after hours of sleeping. 
I need to test that with a v5 server to see if it behaves as expected.

What happens if the same IP tries again? The request is blocked immediatly? 
Why might using a firewall or iptables be better?

HELP w/ web rebol associations AND Rebol-View.
Here is the story..


On my PC, I have View pointing to an index.r file on my web server.
Everything is cool.

When I open up Rebol-View and traverse to my index.r on the server..
it works.


Now on the same server, I change the IIS-Web associations so that 
I can do rebol CGI.
I create a 'main.r' in some virtual directory on the server.
Web-ing to this http.//myserver/mydir/main.r   works GREAT!
CGI is working.


However, when I now open up Rebol-View on my local PC and traverse 
to my index.r which is
on the server.. I get an error.


The problem is that before.. rebol-view was requesting a file-download 
and the server sends it.

Now since IIS is doing '*.r' CGI, when rebol-view requests for the 
index.r download.. the server is processing the request
and attempting to send back html.. not a rebol file.


Is there any way of fixing this other than..

* changing the CGI association from '*.r' to something else  (ie. 
'*.rr')

* changing all my view-apps on the server from '*.r' to something 
else   (ie. '*.rr')
??

It looks like the problem does not come from the past-translated, 
but from the 'request-method: with CGI, the values are "GET" or "POST", 
but with FastCGI, the values are "GET^@^@^@^@" or "POST^@^@^@". But 
with lighttpd, no problem. So to make FastCGI rebol scripts work 
with LiteSpeed, we have to update the exemple http://www.rebol.com/docs/words/wread-io.html
as:

read-cgi: func [
        "Read CGI form data from GET or POST."
        /local data buf
    ][

        if found? find/any system/options/cgi/request-method "POST*" [
            data: make string! 1020
            buffer: make string! 16380

            while [positive? read-io system/ports/input buffer 16380][
                append data buffer
                clear buffer
            ]
            return data
        ]

        if found? find/any system/options/cgi/request-method "GET*" [
            return system/options/cgi/query-string
        ]
        test-data ; if in test mode
    ]

Nice research and summary -- It'd be a good idea to drop that change 
request to RAMBO. That way, it won't get lost

Hi,  question for the webheads.


   In short.  Can a form call a cgi action that processes data but doesn't 
   output any Content-type

(or anything for that matter) without the browser status coming up 
with "waiting for reply".


   I've got a client that wants a form for requesting more info, but 
   they want to leave the user on

the same screen, so I thought I could have a %process.cgi that takes 
the data and plays with it

and then have an intrinsic  onsubmit=alert(...)  to inform the user 
that the request has been submitted.

The %process.cgi doesn't 
print "Content-type ..."


it doesn't print anything, as I was hoping to leave the same browser 
screen up.

Am I living in lalaland?


Should the %process.cgi just redirect back to the original page with?


print "location: /original.html^/content-type: text/html^/"  or is 
that deprecated now?  It works under my test heads, Cheyenne and 
nonIE browser, but is there a bigger better way?  Or do I tell the 
client that the browser needs a new page and I can add a back link 
(not preferred).

Thanks for listening

if you need to rely on JS, you could do an xmlhttp request...

I'm popping up an Alert...

This is a client request, I'm looking at options.  Thanks for the 
hints.

In that ML thread, the request was to handle a multipart upload on 
the server side (in rebol). I need to perform a multipart upload 
on the client side (in rebol). As for the seconde link, unfortunately 
I get "Article x60 is no longer available ". Any idea?

Read that, but that is why the adaptive scaling with lighttpd is 
interesting if you put number of request/fcgi porcess on 1. Then 
the daemon scales for you

Maarten, I agree with your observation and you can even scale it 
more.


If you see a web-server as just a request dispatcher to CGIs and 
a fast-answering-machine for user-feedback (pages, forms etc.) you 
just need a small and "simple" one like Cheyenne. The CGIs can be 
distributed to different cores (through the OS) or even to different 
machines (via TCP/IP).

As dispatching requests is most likely much faster than processing 
a request, a single web-server should serve a lot of users and a 
bunch of machines do the processing.

This is the coarse grained multi-process approach.

Hmm.  Could be.  I''ll ask my user to see if they are using request-dir 
before the error occurs

I've found that this is called when you do a 'request-download

(Oops - There was request on "all" for this group)

Latest release available at: http://www.dobeash.com/files/RebGUI-015.zip

Highlights include:

	- New LED widget
	- Tweaked check, splitter and tab-panel widgets
	- Basic edit feel added to area and field widgets
	- Resizing is now fully recursive
	- Added a light-weight request-file function for Win32/SDK use
	- Numerous minor improvements and fixes
	- Documentation update (the Display User's Guide in particular)

there's a compatibilty problem with 'check and 'led : #[none] #[true] 
#[false] don't works in /View 1.2.1 . it can be fixed by using reduce 
[true [...] false [...] none [...]]. (I think backward compatibility 
should be mandatory only for core functions/widgets, for additional 
optional elements like 'request-file function and /min-size option, 
a short note in documentation is enough)

tested 'request-file - spotted a bug:

when one uses a filename without a path in it, it causes an error.

ie: %my-file.r, split-path gives [%./ %my-file.r], the path isn't 
cleaned, local-request-file don't like "./" -> error
an easy fix is to uses 'clean-path before 'split-path: 
if file [
    set [path file] split-path clean-path path
]

that said, 'request-file works well (tested all /options,) and is 
a lot cleaner and smaller that the VID version :-)

I tried adding the following to tour.r


#include %gui.r
#include %gfx-colors.r
#include %request-file.r
#include %display.r

and encapped,.. but it tried to excute %gui.r

Pekr: the edit feel is pretty basic at the moment (doesn't support 
highlighting or cut / paste). The Ctrl+BackSpace and Ctrl+Del are 
"delete to end" and "delete to beginning" respectively, which almost 
all editors support without the need for highlighting ... now the 
key mappings are another issue. ;)

Graham: You need to add the following to %tour.r:

	#include %gfx-colors.r
	#include %request-file.r
	#include %gui.r
	#include %widgets.r
	#include %display.r


and comment out the "do %gui.r" in %tour.r and the "do %widgets.r" 
and "do %display.r" lines in %gui.r. I'll make this less painful 
in the next release.


Brian: See Sunanda's response or just comment out the redefine of 
'show in %gui.r

Since you are also responsible for RebForms maybe this can be a feature 
request.  In .Net, you can have a form Validation Control, that confirms 
all of the validation checks on the fields of the form.  You are 
also allowed to indicate for each form element, whether it is to 
be included in the form-level validation or not (ie, free form text 
fields typically don't need validation).

Latest build available at: http://www.dobeash.com/files/RebGUI-021.zip

Highlights include:

	- Specification dialect is now VID compatible (and 35% slower)
	- request-color and request-date added
	- Span attribute changed from tuple to issue
	- Couple of minor fixes
	- %tour.r has an additional "Requestors" tab


I wanted to get this build out before folks went too far down the 
converting from VID to RebGUI and vice versa path. If a parse expert 
(I'm not one) could suggest performance improvements for the main 
display parse loop that would be great.

and request I guess holds the post data itself.

I second that request

If this list doesn't fulfill all your needs, here's the additionnal 
features planned for the 1.0 release :

    * RSP: REBOL Server Pages support.
    * General CGI support (run any CGI script).

    * Chunk-encoding transferts support (streamed data transferts).
    * Standard compression methods support: gzip, deflate, bzip2.

    * Byte-ranges request support (ability to request files in parts 
    and resume broken downloads).

    * mod-rewrite module for powerful request URL transformations (without 
    the regexp complexity!).

    * mod-map-url module for direct URL to REBOL functions or objects 
    mapping.
    * SSL support.
    * Advanced GUI client for local and remote administration.

Tom started this group with a reference to
http://www.rebol.net/cookbook/requests.html

It's a set of outstanding requests for cookbook entries -- ie examples 
that people would like to see.

As he says.some have been done independently of the request, and 
published on the REBOLn Altmes or the Mailing List.

It'd be a great collective community New Year's resolution to clear 
some of the cookbook request by the end of the month (and that leaves 
plenty of time to enter the competition too)

At present I fudge it by asking initiators to send a userid with 
each request so I can determine their rights.

The web and soap/http are in a sense REST applications (REST is just 
WS over HTTP) though both use a limited subset of REST arguments 
and have to work around as such.


The web is limited (by the HTML spec) to the verbs 'get and 'post, 
and post content types of 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded (default) 
or 'multipart/form-data (used to upload files).  For the most part, 
the web is RESTful as we usually only want to 'get resources.  However, 
other operations typically violate REST principles, as all other 
resource actions (create, update, delete) have to squeeze through 
the get/post/url-encode/multipart pipe.  The Rebol HTTP protocol 
as standard is designed to mimic this and requires patching to move 
beyond get/post/url-endode (even for multipart)


SOAP as I understand it, when using HTTP only uses 'post - the post 
content contains the actual request.  Where it varies from the web 
(and Rebol HTTP) is the need for the 'text/xml content type.


REST itself is limited only by HTTP.  It uses theoretically limitless 
HTTP (v1.1) verbs (though most common patterns use 'get, 'put, 'post 
and 'delete).  It uses any encoding.  It uses HTTP headers as parameters 
(eg. the 'Accept header specifies the desired return type).  Therefore, 
any HTTP protocol designed for REST will accomodate SOAP requests.

(By request, relayed from rebcode group) Could you add an APPLY opcode 
to rebcode?

    apply: ["Apply function or path to arguments, save result" word! 
    word! | path! block!]

In rebcode:
    apply x f [arg1 arg2 ...]
Is equivalent to this in REBOL:
    x: do f arg1 arg2 ...


The advantage to doing function calls this way is that the arity 
of the opcode is fixed, even if the arity of the function called 
can't be known ahead of time. The value assigned to the function 
word could be either a function or a path, or for efficiency you 
could have a seperate opcode APPLYP for path values (I'd prefer just 
one opcode for generality but it's your call).

Request withdwarn.

Gabriele or Carl, have you checked the conversation in "Rebol Enhancements" 
where we were hashing out enhancements to and comments on rebcode? 
Carl did request this in his blog...

since I saw Unicode mentioned in the chat message....


I am putting in my "+1" request for Unicode support. eg. languages 
like Chinese

I was away for a week plus few days, and I thought that maybe I will 
be suprised by some new releases of Rebol. With RT announcing removal 
of alpha releases it seems to me, that they also managed to remove 
steam out of the community once again ... ? At least ppl had something 
new to test, post new request, ideas, etc. Now we once again don't 
know, when things like Rebcode will return back, or how Rebcode will 
be further developed, as we know, it misses security things ....

I would like to have answered:


1) what technique to use for "timestamping" - do we continue with 
timestamps against one central time, or do we use hashes, or sequencing 
numbers, or mixture of mentioned techniqueues? We might look how 
others do it ...


2) better support for possible conflicts - imagine following scenario 
- you have some reblet, e.g. Contacts - one person starts editing 
it, then another person starts editing it too. First one syncs (saves 
changes), then second one does the same - changes of first ones are 
lost. How to aproach this - introduce some kind of resources locking? 
(not real locking, but we are message based, so could be queued)


It could work as follows - person 1 wants to edit some record. Edit 
button posts request-for-lock. Lock is assigned. I other person tries 
to edit, it will not obtain lock. We could even introduce protocol 
level support, so that the person is informed, who has the lock, 
and how long. The trouble usually comes, when person goes off-line 
after the edit started - we need to remove dead-locks, so by default, 
I would lock for 20 minutes e.g. and the lock would have to be renewed, 
if person 1 wants to work longer with the given document ...


another scenario is, when you actually start editing something which 
might require locking, but you start already being off-line. We could 
create lock-request, just not synced yet. Once you go on-line, you 
simply check seqno, if the lock is possible, and the given record 
not modified. But what if it was modified in the meantime? e.g. you 
might be working with stock system and someone else in the office 
sells few units, for which you may start writing offer for to another 
customer. Tough scenario - would like to know your opinion. Maybe 
some things simply need to be done on-line only?


3) I needed small file-sync scenario - could use IOS, but IOS can't 
sync and "forget". Simply idea is to have different kind of syncing 
techniques, so e.g. for file transfer you have dir to sync, if correctly 
synced, log it, forget it, delete it on client and or server (or 
not, it depends)


as for IOS, local storage could be encrypted (or not), imported into 
RebDB (no single better solution so far introduced for rebol), sync-per-record 
or record-set could remain (record=document). RebDB on Serve would 
speed things up significantly too ...


another possibility is to think outside the IOS terms, in more general 
way - simply thinking about world of objects, being in various states, 
with various life-time around internet and on-line or off-line devices. 
I think that maybe we could find some simpler solution than SyncML 
and the likes ...


another point - such techniques should be transport independent, 
so I would not like to hear that it needs this or that ;-)

So, anyone?

If R3 is successfull, then I am satisfied ... but still ... Ruby 
is much larger community than us. I wonder if Gabriele plus few other 
contracted, can keep up .... still open sourcing to some extent may 
help .... but otoh I ma not sure, if some new quality developers 
would join. I prefer to have rebol extensible by 3rd party developers, 
rather than have it necessarily open sourced. But then I request 
RT to port it to new platforms fast enough ...

How many times has Rebol send you in loopholes, because a feature 
doesn't exist like certificates, one that you request every so often. 
That is a productivity problem, one that a large community addresses 
quickly.

hello, i d like to know if its possible to call db.r script from 
an encaped program.  It says that core 2.6 is needed and if i try 
to remove the security it fails.  what i try to do is the following 
:
rebol []


#include %/C/Documents and Settings/xavier/rebApps/spikes/mezz.r;

#include %/C/Documents and Settings/xavier/rebApps/spikes/prot.r

#include %/C/Documents and Settings/xavier/rebApps/spikes/view.r

test: request-file
write %test/param.par test
do to-rebol-file read %test/param.par
probe db-select * patients
ask ""


in this example the file u are supposed to point is db.r.  When it 
s not encaped it work, not when it is.  if someone has an idea ...

The latest client request I got was to have it called something other 
than "REBOL". I know this sounds funny to us, but they were doing 
a demo and the potential client did *not* like the idea of installing 
something that sounded rebellious. Seriously, this happened.

An OSX version would probably be their request list as well.

Hello Josh! I have one request. Try to run this:

under IE:
http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/plugin-ie.html

under Mozilla/FF etc.:
http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/plugin-moz.html


Drag the green box using mouse and try to move it quickly over the 
screen. You can see the time lag when the green box is updating the 
position.

Now try this from normal Rebol/View console:
do http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/plugin-moz-test.r


You can see there is no lag and the green box is updated very quickly.

Do yo have any idea what could cause this difference?

my specualtions: 

1. Are you always blitting the whole screen in the plugin versions? 
This could cause the slowdown as there should be updated only the 
part with green box on the screen.

2. Could be the slowdown cause by different(higher)  amount of mouse 
events which are pumped from browser to the plugin?

Please post your bugs and feature reqs there....one bug/feature request 
per item. Repro steps and target platform (for bugs) and clear descriptions 
with examples  (for feature requests) help :)

Here are the scenarios with resolutions in boolean logic as I see 
them right now:

 1. web_site_required_version not found on users computer -- download 
 required version

 2. web_site_required_version = version_on_computer && security_min_version 
 > version_on_computer -- popup, request download security update

 3. web_site_required_version = version_on_computer && security_min_version 
 <= version_on_computer && latest_version > version_on_computer -- 
 not sure

... and if I understood it well, we are looking for unified way of 
how to access rebol plug-in configuration .... so my concern was, 
that if someone suggested right-mouse-click here, it could not be 
regarded being safe, because app developer can request such functionality 
for app itself, and in such case, there will be no way of how to 
access it ...

Browser networking: I could be completely out of my mind, but I'm 
pretty sure that the browser sets up and tears down connections with 
each HTTP request. In other words, there's no "open connection" that 
we can just tap into -- the browser is initiating new requests for 
each page. To move to an architecture like that for plugin networking 
calls doesn't make much sense to me.......maybe I'm mis-understanding....

Volker. Jaime.  Clipboard access should probably raise a security 
request, like it does in (secured) browsers.   Maybe it should also 
be part of 'secure  ...

First thing what should be done is better security request window

the nice thing is that in the same network, you can have a mix and 
match, since they all are lazy internally,  but the stainless are 
told to request their data right after being set dirty.

I compress the CGI request so it's not readable

It connect to a server application, like php-fastcgi or a REBOL FastCGI 
server built with /Command, or any other server accepting FastCGI 
clients. Then it sends the HTTP request and wait for a response back.

Will "Mike, I started using Apache and rebol as cgi, this is not 
suited for performances as on every call to the cgi, a new instance 
of rebol is  initialized, run and closed.

I thought about using fastcgi, but never came to a working solution.
Now I use uniserve as main webserver, here some advantages:

-it is fast! On my local machine I get +- 600 req/sec for static 
pages and a max of 160req/sec for dynamic rsp pages

-it is written in rebol, I could easly(less than 10 lines code) add 
a rewrite engine

-child process are persistent, this mean you can keep state of your 
web applications, implement caching, keep a pool of connection to 
databases open (in apache + rebol/cgi you'd have to open and close 
the connection for every request)
-it is written by Dock whom I may be the biggest fan ;-)

btw I'm running an unreleased version (have bought commercial support) 
 that support http 1.1, stuff like If-Modified etc..

If you have more specific questions, I'll be glad to try and answer."

For Text CGI script I get:

For Text RSP script I get:

Does each http request spawn a new instance ?

mod-rewrite module for powerful request URL transformations (without 
the regexp complexity!).

There's been some discussion around here on the future of .htaccess 
... the timing of this feature may be perfect.

I second the request for DevCon reporting. I will not be able to 
make to Europe this year.

I demand....er, request one thing.....my name is Rike-hart, not rye-shard.
