[REBOL] Dialling Out
From: justin::halls::brunel::ac::uk at: 30-Aug-2000 9:08
Hi
I am a newcomer to REBOL and would like to use it
to solve a particular programming problem. I have
a stand-alone application, which is not attended
by a user, which occasionaly needs to send or
receive e-mails. Rather than programming all the
code at a low level, REBOL seemed ideally suited
to performing the network interaction processes
through an application generated script and a
CREATE_PROCESS call to REBOL.EXE
My problem is that the machine does not have a
permanent connection to the network, but needs to
dial out when required. Does anyone have a
suitable script, or a technique which can be used
to get the machine to dial out a connection (using
a connection defined in DUN) without requiring any
user interaction?
I woud have thought that this would be a very
common requirement (most networking tools have the
ability to dial out if they are not connected,
although simply invoking DUN still requires a user
confirmation) and I would suggest that it would be
a very worthwhile enhancment to REBOL.
Regards
Justin
