Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3656] | mmm...if it's really related to some precise timing, it will be hard to track. |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3657x2] | >> wait [ ] ** Script Error: Invalid argument: true ** Near: set-modes new [no-delay: on] false |
just tried it again | |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3659] | Ok, so we can now fill a nice RAMBO ticket, with an example code :-) |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3660] | Only Vista? |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3661] | It seems so. Never saw that on XP. |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3662] | correction, only Graham's laptop running Vista? |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3663] | Well, you can even send your laptop to Carl if that helps him fix that :-) |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3664x3] | haha |
so, this doesn't go into curecode ? | |
or is Rambo being kept for R2 stuff | |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3667] | Nope, R2=>RAMBO, as far as I know. |
BrianH 31-Dec-2008 [3668] | If you run into any mezzanine bugs in 2.7.6+, please bug me about them too, I'll fix them :) |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3669] | Anyway, I'll remove the 'no-delay mode from Cheyenne in 0.9.19 when running on Windows. |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3670] | Don't suppose anyone else is running Vista who can test this too ... |
BrianH 31-Dec-2008 [3671] | What is the no-delay mode? |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3672] | I'd like to keep my laptop here. |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3673x2] | No-delay mode: control of the Nagle algorithm in TCP layer. |
It's documented here : http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html#sect1.2.3. | |
BrianH 31-Dec-2008 [3675x2] | That sounds interesting. I look forward to reading the source for that :) |
(in Cheyenne I mean) | |
Graham 31-Dec-2008 [3677] | so, no-delay = true, nagle is operational? |
BrianH 31-Dec-2008 [3678] | That would be no-delay = false. |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3679x2] | I'll say the opposite. |
Right, no-delay = false => nagle in use | |
Will 31-Dec-2008 [3681] | BrianH: do you have a list of patches to apply to R2.7.6 ? |
Dockimbel 31-Dec-2008 [3682x3] | I've just put the [web-public] flag back. |
BrianH: about EXTRACT, there's no bug in 2.7.6 I'm aware of, it causes a regression on Cheyenne only because the old EXTRACT was wrongly returning a block! value when taking a hash! value as input. | |
That regression is fixed in Cheyenne 0.9.19. | |
BrianH 31-Dec-2008 [3685x2] | I will be maintaining a patch script for 2.7.6, though it is not yet online. All of the patches are in DevBase for now. |
No patch-in-place though - replacement functions. | |
Graham 5-Jan-2009 [3687] | doc, were you going to rambo this 'no-delay issue? |
Dockimbel 5-Jan-2009 [3688x2] | I thought that you would do that just before sending your laptop to Carl. ;-) |
I'll fill a new ticket right now. | |
Graham 5-Jan-2009 [3690] | Is this going to affect Cheyenne much? It's not as though cheyenne would be sending lots of small packets to clients anyway. |
Dockimbel 5-Jan-2009 [3691] | I think that the performance difference won't be noticeable. |
Graham 5-Jan-2009 [3692] | In the meantime I can use this way to shut down Cheyenne locally when my program exits :) |
Dockimbel 5-Jan-2009 [3693] | What Vista version are you using? SP1? |
Graham 5-Jan-2009 [3694x2] | No SP installed ... no room on my hard drive to install :( |
Gosh ... rambo is full of spam submissions. | |
Dockimbel 5-Jan-2009 [3696x2] | You should ping Gabriele about that. |
RAMBO ticket filled (#-4313) | |
Gabriele 5-Jan-2009 [3698] | Rambo is always full of spam submissions. I clean it up daily. :) |
Graham 5-Jan-2009 [3699] | I'm guessing some elementary captcha code would cut down your work considerably! |
Oldes 5-Jan-2009 [3700] | It was discussed many times. I would use javascript to hide (enter) the form. It so easy. Just use document.write("<input name='submit' value='submit' type='submit'>"); where the input is as pure html. Better as external javascript. so the spambot parser does not see it without js evaluation (which are most such a spambots) |
Maxim 5-Jan-2009 [3701] | good idea, you don't even get the submits to start with :-) |
NickA 6-Jan-2009 [3702x2] | Have you tried http://softinnov.org/rebol/captcha.shtml? |
We were getting tormented by spam at http://guitarz.org/pappgmembers/index.cgi . At one point I needed an immediate bandaid, so temporarily added a several-line cgi that just told the user to type "pappg" as the password, and then checked that they entered it correctly. We've never had another problem since :) Makes me think that a catchpa would handle a lot of grief. | |
Sunanda 6-Jan-2009 [3704] | You need a variety of techniques to stop all the spambots (and the human-assisted spambots). Another technique is to have a hidden (by CSS) field, that humans don't see. If it comes back with a (changed) value, then most probably a bot is at work. |
NickA 6-Jan-2009 [3705] | Our bots weren't the brightest :) |
