remote-ip in RebXR

[1/9] from: compkarori::gmail::com at: 19-Jul-2009 13:24

Andreas I'm going to use RebXr for a few utilities. Is there an easy way for the server to read the remote-ip of the connecting client? Or is it hidden inside the async protocol? -- Graham Chiu http://www.synapsedirect.com Synapse - the use from anywhere EMR.

Nice. Let me know of any shortcomings you encounter.

I think it should be available via port/sup-port/remote-ip. But this depends on where you need to access it: in the server itself or within a method exposed (and invoked) via XML-RPC? -- Regards, Andreas

Andreas I wanted to use it within an exposed method. I noticed that when returning dates, the xmlrpc server would just shut down :( On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 9:19 AM, Andreas Bolka<andreas.bolka-gmx.net> wrote:

Here's the bug server:

** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value ** Where: rejoin ** Near: pad-zero date/time/1 ":" pad-zero date/time/2

Well, that'll require a change to the server. Please give attached patch a try, it allows you to get an "xmlrpc context" by calling 'xmlrpc-context. Such a context currently only has a single field: 'client-port. An example exposed method, to illustrate usage: foo: func [/local ctx] [ ctx: xmlrpc-context mold ctx/client-port/remote-ip ] The patch is against the "2004-09-19 experimental release".

XML-RPC does not support pure dates, but only dates which also have a time; those work fine with rebXR:

>> ; server session >> xmlrpc-serve 9090 [now] >> ; client session >> xmlrpc-exec http://localhost:9090/ [now]

== 21-Jul-2009/23:37:18 But I guess it may make sense, to simply set the time to 00:00:00 if no explicit time is given. In any case, I agree that the server simply crashing on missing time values is rather rude :) -- Regards, Andreas -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/octet-stream -- File: client-port.patch

Ah, I forgot about stupid Ecartis stripping simple attachements; please get the patch from: http://earl.strain.at/rebol/rebXR/patches/client-port.patch -- Regards, Andreas

Andreas Can you put the patch on your site? Ecartis strips out binaries. On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Andreas Bolka<andreas.bolka-gmx.net> wrote:

Looks like it is working but the context is including the whole subport and not just a single field. Not that it matters. -- Graham Chiu http://www.synapsedirect.com Synapse - the use from anywhere EMR.

Good to hear. Actually, the patch introduces a stupid race condition; a fixed version is available at: http://earl.strain.at/rebol/rebXR/patches/client-port2.patch Be sure to revert the old patch before applying this one. I'll combine this and a fix to the date issue you noted, and put up a new version of rebXR within the next week. -- Regards, Andreas
