Hi, Sharriff. Can you give us an idea of your intent about sending files to a webserver? What's the intended result after a file is sent to the webserver? Should the webserver then display that file on the browser or what? I think we are all talking past each other -- not communicating in the same context.

Hi Andrew! I am coding bits of REBOL CGI scripts for my Intranet framework. For security reasons, I have included an admin section from which user data is stored and given rights to to "View", "Publish" or "EDIT" pages.. Everything works fine now with editing and viewing, but I would need a mechanism for publishing. I want normal users without "Publish" rights to be able to save there documents in a PENDING directory of the server, and to separate different categorys and topics, in a sub-directory of PENDING. A cgi form is created with "PUBLISH" buttons from which a user with PUBLISH rights would be able to publish (HTML/WML/XHTM/XML) web content. This would mean on creating new content, a user must have the ability to creat not only files, but directorys too for different categorys of the WEB site. Have you got a cleaner idea fot his problem for me? :-) Regards Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG "Andrew Martin" An: <[rebol-list--rebol--com]> <[Al--Bri--xtra].

Hi Sharriff..... I'm not sure if I follow this thread correctly, but let me tell you what I do in some of my CGI programming. None of what follows should even be rebol-specific! 1)Take as an example that a web page is displayed by a cgi program. Now we don't have to reference that cgi program's URL directly, the URL could be imbedded as a dummy frame source. 2)Given that we are displaying a page by a cgi program, then pathinfo could be used to control the display of the content. Let's says that display.r diplays a certain content. ; below for readonly http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/display.r/readonly ; below for user http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/display.r/userprivilege/userpassword ;below for administrator http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/display.r/adminprivilege/adminpassword Given that the privileges that set properly, then what could follow are switches in which the cgi-program holding the content would then post changes as appropriate to whichever directory you wished.... pending, or immediate, you would then have the control.. given the appropriate access rights, then rebol could read, write, create, delete directories at will. Perhaps you find this useful, if not, please accept my apologies if I have muddied the waters further. Regards -tim [Sharriff--Aina--med-iq--de] wrote:

Thanks Tim! could you explain further? if one single web-page is displayed how would I differentiate the users with different rights? do you mean based on a certain right "flag", a user gets a version of this page? excuse my lack understanding the example.
