Hey Doc, any hints / docs on building a Uniserve service that could 
handle what I need?

UniServe API documentation : http://www.softinnov.org/rebol/uni-guide.html

HTTP async client implementation : http://www.softinnov.org/tmp/HTTP-client.zip

From what I've understood of your need, you should look into the 
"Protocol API" part (and not the "Service API" part).

k, thanks.

Hmm, i think i did this some time ago.. pre Cheyenne days.

I remember googling a coding problem one time, and found a solution.. 
thought to myself.. "this guy knows the situatioh".. only to realize 
i was my own code i had posted some years earlier. ;()

So /Service acts as a receiving port vs connecting to a port via 
/Protocol

Yes. /Protocol = client side.

I just can't seem to speak to this remote port with Rebol or Uniserve 
no matter what i try

This PHP code works fine..

<?php
 
 $password = "ClueCon";
 $port = "8021";
 $host = "127.0.0.1";
 
 function event_socket_create($host, $port, $password) {
     $fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errdesc) 
       or die("Connection to $host failed");
     socket_set_blocking($fp,false);
     
     if ($fp) {
         while (!feof($fp)) {
            $buffer = fgets($fp, 1024);
            usleep(100); //allow time for reponse
            if (trim($buffer) == "Content-Type: auth/request") {
               fputs($fp, "auth $password\n\n");
               break;
            }
         }
         return $fp;
     }
     else {
         return false;
     }           
 }
 
 
 function event_socket_request($fp, $cmd) {
    
     if ($fp) {    
         fputs($fp, $cmd."\n\n");    
         usleep(100); //allow time for reponse
         
         $response = "";
         $i = 0;
         $contentlength = 0;
         while (!feof($fp)) {
            $buffer = fgets($fp, 4096);
            if ($contentlength > 0) {
               $response .= $buffer."<br>";
            }
            

            if ($contentlength == 0) { //if contentlenght is already don't process 
            again

                if (strlen(trim($buffer)) > 0) { //run only if buffer has content
                    $temparray = split(":", trim($buffer));
                    if ($temparray[0] == "Content-Length") {
                       $contentlength = trim($temparray[1]);
                    }
                }
            }
            
            usleep(100); //allow time for reponse
            

            //optional because of script timeout //don't let while loop become 
            endless
            if ($i > 10000) { break; } 
            
            if ($contentlength > 0) { //is contentlength set
                //stop reading if all content has been read.
                if (strlen($response) >= $contentlength) {  
                   break;
                }
            }
            $i++;
         }
         
         return $response;
     }
     else {
       echo "no handle";
     }
 }
 
 $fp = event_socket_create($host, $port, $password);
 $cmd = "api show dialplan";
 $response = event_socket_request($fp, $cmd);
 echo $response; 
 fclose($fp);

I can open a port, and get the authentication challenge.. i iget 
a content-type: auth/request.. .when i insert into the port "auth 
Cluecon \n\n" i get no reply.. just times out with a timeout error?

nice http://pushmodule.slact.net/

Very nice indeed

set-cookie docs don't exist and it says n/a .. does this mean the 
word is not there any more or something else? Do I have to manually 
set http response headers to set cookies?

Set-cookie is on the todo list but hasn't been implemented yet. So, 
for now, you have to set http header manually.

IIRC, there's some code for setting cookies in the rebol.org library.

aha, no problem .. how can I read the cookies .. looking at request 
headers I guess (I forgot a little about how exactly cookies are 
doing)

doing = work

aha I remember :)

request/headers/cookie

aha, you already parse it .. cool

I am creating an simple affiliate system for cebelca.biz , but it 
will be made so you can reuse it on any page without installing aff 
system on server

so if anyone needs it, tell me

I'm coming to the conclusion that any communication other than via 
HTTP is a waste of time. Sockets suck.

I mean, this low level coding is a pain.

IMO HTTP sucks. Since years people try to make stateless HTPP stateful. 
One just needs a simple socket and than handle everything via a multiplexed 
channel system through this.

And, with some tricks everything can be tunneled through port 80 
;-) See Skype.

Well, HTTP works ok as long as you treat it like what it is: Stateless.

I am trying to use the set-locale locales-dir  .. but I wasn't able 
to get it work

Here's the configuration I'm using for CureCode.org :
       webapp [
                virtual-root "/rebol3/"
                root-dir %/home/curecode.org/rebol3/
                locales-dir %private/locales/
        ]

%private is located under %rebol3/

aha, thanks :) I will try that way

Btw, %private/ folder under a webapp folder is a *special* folder 
that's protected from direct access (you'll get 404 if you try), 
so you can safely store there your libs and support code.

aha, good to know

hi, I have a problem about sessions, when I start a session, then 
end it, then restart it, session/active? return false if the file 
is not in same location with the file which is started the session.

Which Cheyenne version are you using? Have you tried with the development 
version from SVN repository?

2.7.6.3

on windows/xp home & pro

I did not try the SVN version.

2.7.6.3 is the REBOL version. Cheyenne versions are the ones listed 
here :  http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

So, I guess you're probably using v0.9.19. Could you make small RSP 
scripts that exhibit this issue and send them to me by email?

oh sorry, yes I'm using the 0.9.19, I guess the problem is about 
subfolders

I'm preparing the scripts now..

Thanks.

I remember a similar issue reported once by a user a few months ago. 
I'm not sure this has been fixed properly or if your issue is exactly 
the same. Anyway with the help of your test scripts, I should be 
able to figure it out.

I just send the test files by email

Please try the test cases I wrote in the email, session/active? gives 
2 different result after restarted a session, if the files are different 
folders

Got it, will give it a quick look now.

thanks a lot

Websockets... now we're cookin'

The test cases run OK here with the development version (on SVN), 
which means that the issue has been already fixed. Now trying with 
0.9.19 to be sure.

can I download the SVN version (where?) so I can test it here too
