Doc is rewritting sessions currently and back on Cheyenne, at least 
that is what he told to me a week ago ...

That is good news Pekr, thanks for sharing 8-)

there are still stability issue on heavy traffic, at least on OS 
X

how heavy is the traffic?

about 100000 rsp requests in a couple hours, last time I checked 
it was related to accumulated connections not propery closed

Would like to see php.exe plugged in.  Sessions don't seem to be 
more than glorified cookies.

OpenSSL provides libraries

Some news: I'm currently finishing a new RSP API documentation, that 
will match the upcoming RSP version with brand new code for session 
support. In this next release, I'll focus on stability / reliability 
rather than providing new big features. I should be able to release 
it in a month from now with proper documentation.

so they let you out of the cavern again?  ;-)

last post being 4 months ago!

I sometimes escape to hunt for some food and drink some water, and...connect 
to AltMe ;-)

I've used other channels for giving some news since then, like Cheyenne's 
blog at softinnov.org.

here its not just new, its actual human relation, much more fun ! 
;-)

(new = news)

Fun : sure, but can be very time-consuming...

is rsp api already in?

ah, not rpc, but rsp :-) well, i am not interested in anything rsp, 
unless it works with templates not mixing html and rebol source code 
:-)

working sessions would be fine :-)

but doc, I think many users would like  you to pass by a little more 
often... its just nice to know that an author is actively supporting 
his stuff...

this is the "official" rebol meeting place.

Terry: REBOL already supports SSL, it just a matter of knowing which 
flag to set to switch to server-side SSL. Btw, if anyone can get 
the info from Carl, that would be great ! (Pekr, you're kind of good 
at extracting info from ppl ;-))

Max: you're right, I wish I have more time to spend here (hopefully, 
I can now spend 2 days per week working on all my REBOL projects, 
so, you'll see me here now more often.

I wrote official... but I meant "official underground community"... 
where actual user end up.

you know... it doesn't have to be 4 hours of chat.

I know how it is...

Petr: RSP can emit XML if you need to separate content from presentation. 
Btw, I'd be happy to see an XSLT lib done in REBOL.

I will try to write to Carl :-)

and put a few pints in the letter  ;-)

Doc - all I need is my gfx man to work separately - that is way most 
templating systems don't suit me well. They are ugly mixture of code 
and presentation. I want only tags, and then parsing and replacing 
stuff.

I will pint out Carl in Paris ;-))

I hope France has some good beer too. All I know is that France has 
wine tradition, so not sure about beer :-)

pekr, remark is EXACTLY that but templates are not only for pages, 
but tags are templates... all code is outside of page and very easy 
to make your own tags.

do you have link for remark?

if you promise that you'll try it out, I'll put it online.

Pekr: There's a lot of competing templating solutions, and AFAIK, 
XML+XSL is the most used one. You can also look at Enhydra XMLC here 
: http://www.enhydra.org/tech/xmlc/index.html(It's done with JSP, 
but the concept can be easily ported to any other language).

yes, it is just ... what is xml good for here? :-)

maxim - any doc for remark? From docs I could see, if it is what 
I want :-) Well, I do small things, so maybe I am better with something 
"home-made" :-)

the only thing it needs is someone to adapt it for cgi use... I have 
too little CGI practice and no real need, atm... so its hard to put 
time on this... but its a rebol script, so its easy to adapt.  all 
it would need is to check if its been started as cgi and call a different 
startup, which only prints out one file.  for static pages (which 
CAN include dynamic conent like sql queries) then its a very good 
solution which already supports site magamenent and ftp xfer.

I would gladely help anyone to add cgi support to remark... probably 
doing it together more than anything.

Pekr: It's good for feeding an XSLT engine (we don't have any equivalent 
in REBOL).

yes I have all of this done... its just not online for lack of time.

I can send you a .zip though?  is your email address here valid?

I want to set up a cheyenne web server that is secure.. ie. protected 
by ssl.

this web server is for local intranet .. but sometimes allow users 
to browse from outside via ssl.

can I use http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslexplorerto set up a 
ssl vpn so that the remote user logins via the vpn, and then accesses 
the intranet's web server?

which also means I could grant untrusted users temporary access to 
the web server.

I would help you Maxim, but I'm now working on my Rebol/Flash dialect 
(after very long time) so maybe afterwards.

Graham - if you generally know, how to allow ssl for Cheyenne, what 
is the problem with vpn? Wouldn't just router firewall opening/redirecting 
port of ssl (443 IIRC) be enough?

graham, you can put an apache server which only accepts the ssl connections 
with reverse proxy setup which redirects the uncrypted ssl traffic 
to/from the cheyenne server. it works well.

btw remark is now online... wondering if everyone sees the announce 
group... sometimes I think only a minority actually see/read it.
