World: r3wp

now I can live with the blocking behavior, but would like to show 
the output in a view window - but as it blocks might not be possible

ok, good to know Jaime

so I should really start getting the SDK or pro :-)

Yep.

:-)

I'll pay RT $50 if we change "=" to "==" .. don't know HOW many bugs 
I've generated with other languages over that.

how about allowing to accept both?

Terry, do you think it's really a good idea to change that now ?

== is already valid rebol

just unset '= and you are done

(provided it is not used internally)

you would have to start casting to compatable datatypes yourself 
tho ....

>> "ABC" = "abc"
== true
>> "ABC" == "abc"
== false

cast to the same case as well

Is it possible to find the IP address of a machine using a proxy?

what do you mean, Terry?

you mean automatic proxy detection?

Do you mean this ?:

Terry's machine ---- ( internet ) ---> proxy machine ---> target 
machine
where the target machine is the ip you want.

I am supposing a remote machine has connected to a service of yours, 
and you want to know if you can inspect the port in such a way as 
to obtain the ip of the remote machine, even if it is behind a proxy.

I'm looking for the the ip of my wireless router.  I know it manually, 
but is their a way to find it automagically?

proxy isn't correct

gateway

dhcp

well, my wireless router assigns an internal IP 192.168.1.100 (for 
example), and if I do a get-modes udp:// 'interfaces I get..

addr: 127.0.0.1
netmask: 255.0.0.0
broadcast: none
dest-addr: none
flags: [multicast loopback]
name: "if65540"
addr: 192.168.1.100
netmask: 255.255.255.0
broadcast: 192.168.1.255
dest-addr: none
flags: [broadcast multicast]

Nothing in there that I can send to you, that will allow you to find 
me.. so how do i determine (via Rebol) the IP address assigned to 
the router?

Not sure that this can even be determined with Rebol.. Probably need 
to do a workaround.. send a http request to a remote script, peel 
the IP from that, send it back?

Like this.. 

getIP: read http://whatismyip.com
parse getIP [thru "displaycopy('" copy myIP to "'"]

tried IP chicken.. seems slower.

http://www.ipchicken.com/

Maybe I should put that into a view pane and enter it into the contest?

Hmm, too late to hide the source code huh? :)

http://www.compkarori.com/cgi-local/whatismyip.r

<ip> 203.79.110.37 </ip>

ip chicken is way slower

Yeah, local versions of that scattered around the world would be 
help with the speed..your's is too slow for me

I put a PHP version on my server... no need to parse.. 

myIP: read http://lonestar.tv/myip.php

That's in the eastern states somewhere (1and1)

Mine is in texas.

who do you use.. rackspace?

and what's up with that xml you have wrapping your output?

webxess.com, and I wrap in tags to make it parse more easily

My script checks for proxy ,and fetches the forwarded address.

Some of these scripts only give you the address of the proxy.

go and download Look @ Lan ... it si not further developed, but I 
use it often ...

there is no other way that to sequentially scan using ping ....

or some snmp tool, if your device suports it ...

the simplest way is to set your network card to DHCP mode, and try 
to obtain ip from your GW (router), of course if it has DHCP server 
running ...

This werks (cheap plug) Can use rebol to determine IP for LAN, and 
remote script for WAN... I've put a copy at http://squigglz.com/myip.php
and Im building a public name server using a squiggle to store and 
retrieve IP addresses.  ie: ~carl:ip~  will finish that off tomorrow

Need to build "Internet 2.0" concurrently with "Web 2.0" ;)
