World: r3wp

So, if you're not looking for a generalized solution.. then it's 
quite doable.

I've had issues where paths misaligned between list, read and write 
ops !

It would have been great if the output format of the FTP commands 
had been part of the FTP spec. C'est la vie.

one of the problem is the ftp RFC which changed too many times and 
some older servers which forked between those changes.

Plus the stuff not covered by any of the RFCs at all, like file listing 
formats. There are Windows FTP servers that format their listings 
like DOS DIR listings, Unix servers that actually call ls, etc.

yep

I wanted to get modification-date on file for sycing...any other 
popular methods for this type of thing?

'net-modes ?

network-modes? I do not see a ref erence to file dates.

info?  returns file date in the block

block = object

Are we still in "get-modes"/

INFO? is a different function than GET-MODES.

i'll try it thanks

>> print mold get-modes %user.r get-modes %"" 'file-modes

[status-change-date: 10-May-2009/16:24:13+10:00 modification-date: 
10-May-2009/16:24:13+10:00 access-date: 14-May-2010/21:42:52+10:00 
owner-name: "anton" group-name: "anton" owner-id: 1000 group-id: 
1000 owner-read: true owner-write: true owner-execute: false group-read:

false world-execute: false set-user-id: false set-group-id: false

Much easier to read if you do PRINT MOLD CONTEXT ...

Oops, you wanted FTP, sorry.

if the file is also available by http, I check the file date that 
way ...

Can you send html email via rebol SEND?

sure ...

I tried using an html doc as the message but it just displayed the 
code

You probably need a custom header

you need to specify Content-Type: "text/html"

(and, for compatibility with all clients, MIME-Version: "1.0")

are there any docs or howtos available for async-http.r?

Which async?

http://www.colellachiara.com/soft/Libs/async-http.r

but if you say that, is there a newer one? this one hangs in OSX.

when closing the port, at least.

Use Romano's actp

I was hoping not having to deal with the TCP layer.

Ive never used the async http ...

well, there are no docs for async-http.r so I can't tell at all how 
to use it and atcp-protocol.r is too low level. I'll have to rely 
on synced http.

I would assume that if Gab wrote it will be similar to the R3 http

odd bug: R2 sometimes just quits when using trace/function

Q: Can i use select/any against pairs! in a hash! ? Example?

ie: i'd like to select 432x984 using *x984

or decimals?

I'm looking for a delmiter in hash keys to separate two integers 
that i can perform a select/any on

I've never tried, but I imagine you would have to form them for /any 
to work.

It should be easy to test though.

How about this one.. 
Determine the first decimal place of  decimal
dec: 209.648
and I want to return the 6

to-integer multiply dec - to-integer dec 10

hmm, smart

Or using strings:
     to-integer form first next find form dec "."
    == 6

interesting to benchmark but I suggested a math solution as normally 
math is faster than anything else

ok, one last one for my rusty rebol

FINDing the index of all occurences of an integer in a series ie:
blk: [ 239 4545 23 655 23 656[
search for 23 and return [3 5]

(not using foreach)

use parse

first one is result: find blk 23  .. but how to quickly find the 
rest
foreach is way too slow on blocks with large amounts of data

err:  index? find blk 23
