JaimeVargas 5-Apr-2007 [7369] | You need a daytime server |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [7370x3] | http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-13.html#section-7 |
So, looking for a daytime server ... | |
just finding restaurants looking for waiters! | |
JaimeVargas 5-Apr-2007 [7373] | Maybe related to this but no 100% sure. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=timed&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html |
Ladislav 6-Apr-2007 [7374x6] | Don't trust Jaime, his clock are famous for being imprecise :-) |

(don't use the GET-NIST-CORRECTION function more often than once in 4 seconds) | |
My apologies to Jaime and everyone, I deserve what happened. Posting a correction: | |

BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7380x2] | Quick dumb question: I have to post some data to a web site that requires authentication. How do I specify the username and password? I forget... |
The password in question is incompatible with url! syntax. | |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7382x2] | system/schemes/http/user: "user" system/schemes/http/pass: "pass" ?? |
a: read/custom [site: "www.site.com" scheme: 'http user: "user" pass: "pass"] [post "stuff"] | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7384] | First didn't work, second gave invalid port spec error. |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7385x2] | Umm, is it https? Need rebcmd for that I think. or add port: 80 maybe... |
Sorry, I get it wrong everytime. It's host: not site: | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7387] | If it matters, I am accessing an Outlook Web Access site, https scheme, with /Command. |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7388] | Try host: "..." scheme: 'https ... my mistake. |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7389] | That worked, but now I'm getting a "Method not allowed" error from the server. I'm trying to enable junk email folders on an Exchange server and apparently the only way to do so is with a 100+ line VBScript that translates to a one-line REBOL script, but neither seem to work with this server. |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7390] | try [url: "www.site.com/prog.cgi" ...] instead of host:: |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7391] | I tried host and path and that builds the url properly, but now I get a different server error that REBOL doesn't print all of so I can't see it. I can't seem to trap the error so I can print the whole thing. |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7392x2] | Or maybe [host: "www.site.com" url: "prog.cgi"] |
Can you prepend the read with print to get the rest of the message? | |
Izkata 6-Apr-2007 [7394x2] | >> probe decode-url http://www.junk.net/path/to/index.html make object! [ user: none pass: none host: "www.junk.net" port-id: none path: "path/to/" target: "index.html" ] |
try with those... | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7396] | It never gets to the read - it fails on open. When I tried TRACE/NET ON I saw the error: HTTP/1.1 440 Login Timeout What's that? |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7397] | https authentication. No experience. Sorry. |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [7398] | what type of authentication is it? |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7399] | It's Basic authentication. |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [7400x2] | is it simple authentication ? |
ok. | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7402x3] | AFAICT |
Authorization: Basic Q0NFU1xBZG1pbmlzdHJhdG9yOiFNVFVTQSYqKA== | |
Is that digest? | |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [7405x2] | read/custom http://user:[password-:-somewere-:-com] [ post ... ] doesn't work? |
because the password has some funny characters in it?? | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7407] | It does. |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [7408] | Ok, you can change the parse rule to allow the @ or whatever |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7409x2] | Nonetheless, the error I got with the port spec is the same that the VBScript from Microsoft's web site gets. |
Any way to increase the timeout? | |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7411] | You can try port: open [spec] insert port mold ['post stuff] result: copy port ??? the insert may need more.... {POST HTTP/1.1 ... somesuch |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [7412] | yes |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7413] | And what would that way be? :) |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7414] | The command docs mention something about initiating ssl connections with port: open/direct ssl://url:portnum then a set-modes port [secure: true] to initiate authentication... |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7415] | Brian, read/custom [scheme: 'https host: "server" path: "path/to/stuff" user: "username" pass: "password"] works. I don't need to recreate the port scheme, as it does that secure: true in its code. I get the same error with Microsoft's VBScript fix. I think it's something server-side. Thanks for the help with the syntax though - it's been a while. |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [7416x2] | There is a system/schemes/http/timeout field probably the same for https |
Yeah me too, This is the kinda code that my brain treats as fire-and-forget. Need to do it again...look it up again. :) | |
BrianH 6-Apr-2007 [7418] | Timeout is ignored. Must be a server misconfiguration (just a guess based on how messed up this server is). |
