Chat / IM

 [1/9] from: m:koopmans2:chello:nl at: 18-May-2001 20:55


Hi, Does anybody have a view based Chat or IM component available? Otherwise I start coding myself tonight.... Raise your hand if your interested. I'll also make it available as an App on the View desktop once I got it, so we can use that as well besides the maiing list. Thanks, Maarten

Hi Maarten, I've got some bits I've added to the conference tool in express that may be handy for an IM. You can see a pic here. (80kb) http://www.rebolforces.com/reb/images/conf.jpg If you got the protocol done then I can help with the conversion of the PML. Cheers, Allen K

I was thinking of writing one that is HTTP based. This way you could setup an ordinary webserver to do it, or a rebserver if you prefer. Example:
>> read http://fe.fi.fo/rebol-chat?user=bob&says=Thats+cool
== {ralph: "when is View going to be avail for macs?" sam: "Soon, I hope."} Easily done in a night too. Only reason I have'nt written it yet, is I could'nt make up my mind how I would like to format the returned updates. Now that I wrote it down, the above looks pretty good. Maybe you can write the client, I can write the server, and we could be done in an hour or two? I suppose you could set it up to do IM too, push or pull being up to the client. Example: read http://fe.fi.fo/rebol-chat?user=bob&push=4444 ; push messages to port 4444 --Ryan Maarten Koopmans wrote:

Now check this: I got a MySQL database up and running as well on erebol.com, so that can be used as a relay service as well, or is that called email ;-) The smartes way probably is to have both Chat and IM pol over HTTP, so people behind a firewall can use it. At least, that's my situation at work... I'll post it when it is ready.

Here is my 15 minute implementation--I couldnt resist. Directory driven, needs a cleanup routine to delete users after a period of inactivity or if they say bye. Other than that, seems to work. At least it gives you something you can out do ;0 ) --Ryan rebol[] cgi: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string change-dir %msg ; this is where the messages are stored if in cgi 'user [ if not exists? to-file dirize cgi/user [ make-dir to-file cgi/user ] ] if all [ in cgi 'say in cgi 'user ] [ foreach folder read %./ [ write to-file rejoin [folder cgi/user] cgi/say ] ] change-dir to-file dirize cgi/user ; go into where this users messages are stored prin "Content-type: text/html^(0A)^(0A)" foreach msg read %./ [ from: to-string msg print rejoin [ from {: } mold read msg ] delete msg ]

Have you seen the LFReD IRSee on the LFReD rebsite? General chat room, encrypted private rooms complete with encrypted whiteboard. Can even "honk" other users to grab their attention. TBrownell

There are a few things happening in this area: 1) Allen made changes to Express Conference. But, Conf is proprietary to RT at this time, and we plan to provide a that works along those lines. 2) Gabriele wrote one that ran in Express... but I don't think that it required express. 3) My son and I wrote a simple one a couple months ago. Was a good example in 2 pages of code. Needs a little bit of cleanup before posting. 4) I've been planning to bring up a name-to-IP server on reboltech.com. Something simple that enables P2P service mapping. The first obvious use was IM. I promised my son... who's 14 and wants to write some p2p apps to communicate and share files with his friends. -Carl At 5/18/01 08:55 PM +0200, you wrote:

I 've got a working irc-client with plugin-interface, dcc, private-chat, multi-connections, multi-channel, and extreme memory-consumption build in. Last point might change in future releases. ;) Will post a version in a couple of days. CU, Frank On Fri, 18 May 2001, Maarten Koopmans wrote:
