I have a patch, ns_logdump, at http://www.theashergroup.com/download/, that adds a Tcl and C API to AOLserver to dump arbitrary hex/ascii strings into the log file. It's also available at sourceforge. Dump a string in hex and ascii to the log. Available from C or Tcl. Useful in debugging new protocols Add a C API and Tcl API for dumping HEX to the log. void Ns_LogDumpString(Ns_LogSeverity severity, char *s, int len) and ns_logdump severity string Severity is a standard ns_log severity constant, Notice, Warning, Error, Debug, or Dev. The output in the log file looks like: 0000: 4164 6420 6120 4320 4150 4920 616e 6420 Add a C API and 0010: 5463 6c20 4150 4920 666f 7220 6475 6d70 Tcl API for dump 0020: 696e 6720 4845 5820 746f 2074 6865 206c ing HEX to the l 0030: 6f67 2e0a 0a76 6f69 6420 4e73 5f4c 6f67 og...void Ns_Log 0040: 4475 6d70 5374 7269 6e67 284e 735f 4c6f DumpString(Ns_Lo The length of a line is controlled by a tcl config parameter, dumpbytesperline, that defaults to 32. ns_section ns/parameters ns_param dumpbytesperline 32 This patch modifies: nsd/log.c, nsd/nsconf.c, nsd/nsconf.h, nsd/nsd.h, nsd/tclcmds.c. I have found this useful in hooking the ACS up to new services (Tellme, Voxeo, SOAP), or when trying to determine how to ns_httpget binaries. ===================================================== Jerry Asher [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1678 Shattuck Avenue Suite 161 Tel: (510) 549-2980 Berkeley, CA 94709 Fax: (877) 311-8688
