World: r3wp

workaround: use two references: rebol-ref: make binary! 1234 struct/pointer: 
rebol-ref
then access things thru rebol-ref

yes thats why im sending the amount of bytes to read back to the 
C wraper still it gave me a haed hache lol

if I would even understand what you are talking about, guys :-)

so you trying to say, that if there is struct inside a struct, you 
don't use it, you just provide it with "flat" binary, and then you 
compose things back in rebol level? Why is that better than using 
structs in structs?

well realy the thing is... did you remember that windows sometimes 
adresses structures in window messages like lparam or wparam, so 
i get the nasty number, and i've to buil a structure back from this 
*pointer*,..... because i do drugs :-)

well, you cant see what we do, because we crawling under the cars 
engine here ;)
but yes, you are right.

its because rebol has no inner structs. when you declare them, it 
actually allocates a pointer there.

thats fine with own code. but os expects real inner struct, so we 
have to workaround to allocate the right space.

but if you can code c, i would do all the os-coding in c then, and 
use rebol-structs only for pasing between rebol and my c. gives os-includes 
without any pain, much easier.

coding in C stinks .... I don't wanna carry C compiler with myself, 
unless included in Rebol ;-) Librry interface should be enhanced 
then. What about trying to post a wish into RAMBO?

some years ago i've used a realy cool compiler rapidq the bastard 
dident have the posibility to pass structures back that time i used 
this kind of workaround

what do you mean ?

I don't even know what do I mean. The only thing I know is that I 
find wrapping libraries not all that comfort and I would like to 
ask those having experience with Python,Perl or any other language, 
if they have some easier way of how to do that or not ...

c-compiler costs me ~4mb if it is a big one. and a good interface 
needs processing includes. basically that *is* a c-compiler included 
in rebol then ;)

Maybe the trouble is really in me and not being able to properly 
do datatype conversion and all those structure wrappings etc.

well then, so big :-)

yes i know what you mean i put = in rebol and : in C also i get lots 
of sintax error mising semicolon.... wrapers stink

No, the problem is rebol has a good c-interface and a pretty good 
with some meta-programming. (to avoid this double-declaration in 
rebol and c). but it has a terrible os-interface (by lack of full 
c-structs and includes). if you accet that and interface onyl to 
your code, its wonderfull (as wonderfull as c can be).

then you write lots of little accessor-function to pick things out 
of os-structures. sounds terrible, but actually all 1-liners.

c has a verry strong type checking thats cool for some cross over 
plattaform but wen it comes to rebol interface you get mad ...

if you try to mimic c-structures. if you create c from rebol-structes, 
it acceptable. maybe does not really check parameter-types, IIRC. 
but not sure, i rarely need rebol<->c and more rarely make that error.

Is this wine or real windows too?
>> to-money 0.09

wrong with everything with leading zeros.
does not happen on linux.
to-money 1.09 works ok.

Does money string-based conversion and sees windows 9.0000000e-02?
1.09 looks like 1.09000000e+00, so fraction-part is behind ".".

is a conversion-error, $1 is greater than to-money 0.09 .

Works fine under various windows' rebol.exe on my machine.

thanks. then wine-bug.

works fine on solaris

Hi Folks

I think that the http scheme the temporary redirection .. server 
error 307 is not at the rebol http_scheme.. the 302 is.. but not 
the 307..

if you try: page: read http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/opiniao/fz1010200501.htm

it will redirect you to another url from the browser..

but using Rebol, you can't get this new url..  as you could using 
page: open http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/opiniao/fz1010200501.htm

print page/url  or page/target

you know.. ;)

I think that the same procedure for 302 should be for the 307 server 
error

if you call from a browser it will redirect you to the following 
url: https://acesso.uol.com.br/login.html?dest=CONTENT&url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/opiniao/fz1010200501.htm&COD_PRODUTO=7

just for reference... http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/post-redirect.html

I think 307 is not returning the alternative URL.. you know..

RFC 2616
10.3.8 307 Temporary Redirect


   The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

   Since the redirection MAY be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD

   continue to use the Request-URI for future requests.  This response

   is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header
   field.

   The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the

   response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the

   response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to
   the new URI(s) , since many pre-HTTP/1.1 user agents do not

   understand the 307 status. Therefore, the note SHOULD contain the

   information necessary for a user to repeat the original request on
   the new URI.


   If the 307 status code is received in response to a request other

   than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect 
   the

   request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
   change the conditions under which the request was issued.

So.. How Can I solve this Allen?

(Not tested.)

Gabriele, regarding 
http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rambo.r?id=3918&

I found my patches still cause visual artefacts in certain circumstances, 
so this report should be cancelled.
Sorry about that.

(It does demonstrate, at least, how to iterate PROGRESS style in 
a usable way, but I'll better publish that elsewhere.)

I will continue to try to understand the artefacting.

Gabrielle, the 307 redirection solved the problem partially, if you 
try to read the url that I put above, you'll realize the problem..

when you try to read the redirected url.. it sends back a forbidden 
message.. it is common with the 307 that returns back also a 401 
message

I think that http scheme should behave as a browser in all aspects.. 
you know..  the http scheme is not complete to simulate all the browser 
functions.. :-( I mean, cookies, redirections etc

Came across this at work today ....

REBOL/View 1.3.1.3.1 17-Jun-2005 Core 2.6.0

>> to integer! ""
== 0
>> to decimal! ""
** Script Error: Invalid argument:
** Near: to decimal! ""


Shouldnt that return 0 like to integer!   ??

Cant see anything in Rambo for it though ...

Must have crept in amongst  View 1.3 changes.

REBOL/Core 2.5.8.3.1

>> to integer! ""
** Script Error: Invalid argument:
** Near: to integer! ""

You would have thought RT's automated tests would have trapped such 
a change.

oh, I just submited bug with the forall and just now found that the 
same bug was already submited

http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rambo.r?id=-456&

if I would like to just skip from the loop, I would use break, not 
return, but understand that carl made the cahnge for the propper 
report on errors.

Gabriele: I submitted a "Read beyond network port" crash ticket.
