World: r3wp

yes

Ok, I'll rambo it.

or the app has to be no timezone aware:) Don§t know what can takes 
less time to fix:)

I got it...
t: 1-1-2006/1:0:1+0:0
== 1-Jan-2006/1:00:01

the timezone is removed if it's zero

Yes.

Maybe it's because 0 is false in C so the native time format thinks 
there is no timezone

Rambo'd it.

Thanks.

That's caught me a couple times as well.

Any way to get a copy of the R3 Alpha?  I have a very simple script 
that has to deal with utf-8 text that this would really help with.

the download link is posted on rebol.net

I think it's still only the private version that uses Unicode?

I'll have to look at it as I don't think the versions up there have 
what I am looking for.

Can I have something like following? My friend asked me to do small 
"multiserver" in TCP mode, he is testing his HW device. IT works 
like a charm, but it is only console app (no GUI). Last week he asked 
me for another method of interruption of script - when he presses 
ESC (or closes console), the connection is RSTed, but he would like 
clean FIN, ACK.  So - can I somehow trap keyboard press while in 
the wait loop? Or do I need to rewrite script to GUI version? I thought 
about adding console port to the wait block, but dunno if it would 
work :-)

Probably you can. Try this, from Carl Sassenrath 2002:

Read/custom allows you to send a custom header as in a cookie header 
like this

read/custom url [post "postdata" [Cookie: "name=value"]]

but it doesn't allow you to send a custom header except by using 
the post method.

This is the code in the prot-http.r


   if all [block? port/state/custom post-data: find port/state/custom 
   'post post-data/2] [
				http-command: "POST"
				HTTP-Get-Header: make HTTP-Get-Header append [

     Referer: either find port/url #"?" [head clear find copy port/url 
     #"?"] [port/url]
					Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
					Content-Length: length? post-data/2
				] either block? post-data/3 [post-data/3] [[]]
				post-data: post-data/2
			]

Now if we hack it like this


   either all [block? port/state/custom post-data: find port/state/custom 
   'post post-data/2] [
				http-command: "POST"
				HTTP-Get-Header: make HTTP-Get-Header append [

     Referer: either find port/url #"?" [head clear find copy port/url 
     #"?"] [port/url]
					Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
					Content-Length: length? post-data/2
				] either block? post-data/3 [post-data/3] [[]]
				post-data: post-data/2
			][

    if all [block? port/state/custom post-data: find port/state/custom 
    'get post-data/2] [
					http-command: "GET"
					HTTP-Get-Header: make HTTP-Get-Header append [

      Referer: either find port/url #"?" [head clear find copy port/url 
      #"?"] [port/url]
					] either block? post-data/3 [post-data/3] [[]]
					post-data: none
				]
			]

we can now do this


read/custom url [get  "dummy place holder" [Cookie: "name=value"]]

and this sends the cookie header with the get request

can refine that by removing the dummy place holder and changing the 
post-data/3 => post-data/2

I would prefere to have an officialy inbuild transparent cookies 
support (as I prefere not to harcode every cookie request)

If you mean that the cookie is automatically captured by the http 
protocol, and then sent with every GET/POST, then that would imply 
you need to acquire the cookie first .. whereas sometimes you know 
what the cookie is and so don't need to get it first.

If you know the cookie, you can set it inside the cookies block, 
where are stored all cokies used for automated (transparent) sending. 
But I never used it. My clasic scenario is to simulate an user with 
the web browser. That means read page with login form, submit the 
form and do whatever like normal logged user. With some pages I can 
skip the first step, but there are pages which are giving you unike 
session ids in this step and don't let you login without this first 
step.

sure ... and some of them insist on referring ids as well.

we ought to check on the http protocol for R3 and make sure that 
it has all this stuff.

I'm having a strange problem. I'm trying to convert a file created 
with a Win XP program to work with a Linux program. Rebol seems to 
read past the end of the file into RAM. 

>>x: read %file1.txt
>>print x

AS: 

{5F65606E-93B2-4B16-BB24-ADC663FC8B5A}$éx



AS: is the last line in the file. I'm just showing a small amount 
of the following output.  Note that the program seems to be unable 
to recognize the end of file marker.  So, I did this:

write %file2.txt read %file1.txt
x: read %file2.txt
print x


But it didn't help. I got the same results. Any idea what is causing 
this?

when printing, does it display the same garbage every time?

Ok, I found the problem. When I saved the file with the Windows program, 
I saved it in utf8 format. Resaving it in ascii format solved the 
problem.  I realized the problem with I noticed some Chinese characters 
in the output past what I pasted in above.

That would have been no problem with rebol3.

Thanks for responding Henrik. You are always willing to help, and 
I apprciate it very much.

no problem

Having a bock of blocks that I want to look more readable how do 
I get each block to start on a new line...


I've tried to append 'newline to end of each block but it does not 
seem to work.


Now I'm having a similar problem using Paul's tretbase. I've been 
using MySQL to store formatted text that when I load it I can run 
my parse function on. When I sttore the same text in tretbase and 
load it my parse function fails. 
When I probe the text from each tehy look different:

MySQL preserves the carriage returns: 
[5 "FFP-LADDERS" "1-PORTABLE LADDERS" "2.1.2" {
\table
Straight Weight^-Ladders
20'^-55 lbs.
20'(Hook)^-60 lbs.
12'(Hook)^-35 lbs.
/table
} "" "2008-07-22 00:12:24"]


Tretbase seems to store the carriage return's character code but 
displays 'flat':

[5 "FFP-LADDERS" "1-PORTABLE LADDERS" "2.1.2" { \table Straight Weight^-Ladders 
20'^-55 lbs. 20'(Hook)^-60 lbs. 12'(Hook)^-35 lbs. /table } "" 20-Sep-2008/3:07:19-4:00]

What Might I be doing wrong?

it looks as if the carriage returns are replaced by tabs.

There are also tabs in the text...

I think the carriage returns have been stripped out?

Here is what the block looks like just before I upload it to the 
database:

[1 "FFP-LADDERS" "1-PORTABLE LADDERS" "2.1.2" {
\table
Straight Weight^-Ladders
20'^-55 lbs.
20'(Hook)^-60 lbs.
12'(Hook)^-35 lbs.
/table
} "" 20-Sep-2008/16:58:48-4:00]

sorry, I looked too short..
did you look at the source of tretbase?

No, I'm working with Paul on it. He will be able to sort it out better 
than me. I thought it might be related to the same problem I had 
with my block of blocks above...

Try the new-line function.

Mindtouch's Deki is the wiki now adopted by Mozilla internally.  
I suggested we use this instead of Mediawki because it has an API 
http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/MindTouch_Deki/API_Reference
but ....

It has multi-language support ( human languages )

This is how to authenticate against the wiki using REBOL http://synapsedirect.com/forums/permalink/6737/6736/ShowThread.aspx#6736

I had to alter the prot-http to allow get to send cookies.

If you click on their api reference you will see code samples nicely 
formatted with line numbers .. much nicer than Mediawiki

So, the API would allow someone to easily update the wiki directly 
from Rebol sources

Graham, did you study my wiki-tools for Mediawiki? They have been 
available for over a year.
