Questions
[1/8] from: David_A_Brown::vanguard::com at: 1-May-2003 16:37
I am a new Rebol user. I am very impressed. The tool is very powerful and
very cool. I am using Rebol Core 2.5, View 1.2.1.3.1, Windows XP
desktop.
I have a number of questions:
1) I tried to used the e-mail demo. In user setup I put in our mailserver
name. I am able to ping it from the windows command line.
I get the following
"Error sending e-mail. Check fields and check your network setup."
Any ideas?
2) When I search a web page for a string and if successful write it to a
.html file some links do not work because they are relative.
I tried to do the following but did not know how to handle quotes within a
string.
page: read http://www.xyz.com/
htmlbase: "<BASE href="http://www.xyz/com/">"
if find page "jobs" [write %result.html [htmlbase + page]]
3) What would be the best way to not just search for a word on a website
but to search to see if the word is contained on any web pages that are
directly linked to from the original page?
4) What is the best way to search for two strings that are both contained
in the same header and then identity the link from the header?

No, I'm afraid not. I have a similar problem with my very little Kasper program (http://folk.uio.no/hallvary/rebol/kasper.r).
It seems to always tell me I'm offline, no matter how online I am.

Try this:
htmlbase: {<BASE href="http://www.xyz/com/">}
There are two ways to mark strings in rebol: "like this" and {like this}.

You would have to download those other web pages as well, and perform a search in them
too. Or did you mean something more specific?

Not sure I understand what you mean. Can you explain or give an example?

Check out the help and source of set-net.
In the help it tells the format of the settings
block, with default-server being your smtp server.
The source shows you where in the rebol system
object all those settings end up.
Make sure your pop and smtp servers are written the
right way around. eg.
set-net [[me--here--org] "smtp.here.org" "pop.here.org"]
The set-net line in in the user.r file in the
rebol root directory (system/options/home).
The other thing is it could be that you have to check
for mail first before trying to send. Some mail servers
require you do this shortly before sending as a measure
against spammers. And popular email clients do this
automatically for you.

Just a thought but Rebol doesn't support SMTP auth does it? At the
moment I point it to a local server but given that the SMTP sending
seems multi-threaded, it'd be nice to be able to point it to my up
stream provider instead. It requires auth though.

Scott Jones's esend.r and esmtp.r handle authentication.

Hello Gregg,
GI> Scott Jones's esend.r and esmtp.r handle authentication.
Apologies for the delay in the reply. I can't find those in the script
library and Google isn't being very helpful either.
Could you point me in the right direction?

I added them to the library at rebol.org. You can find them under the
mail category.
