Thank you, Michael... A sneaky bit of latteral thinking there which will certainly accomplish the required result!

But is there no Bourne expression for AND, OR and NOT in a filter command? The Help entry is a bit rudementary on the subject.

More CGI Stuff

2002-08-27 Thread Yennie
Hi guys,

With all of this CGI talk lately, I cooked something up.
I've been working with a server program based on the ol' mc httpd stack, since I make heavy use of Valentina. However, I've always wanted to break it down into separate cgi scripts. Among other things, that gives me multiple processes more easily.

So my question... is there *any* way to access externals (including the new Mach-o ones with 2.4.3) from a CGI script?

The best I can come up with is running a separate stack which houses the external, and communicating via sockets.

Any ideas?

In case anyone finds this script useful, this is what I'm using to talk to my mc httpd-inspired stack:

#!mc
on startup
   open socket to "127.0.0.1:8080"

   put $REQUEST_METHOD&&$REQUEST_URI&&"CGI"&crLF into theRequest
   if ($HTTP_COOKIE is not empty) then
     put "Cookie: "&$HTTP_COOKIE&crLF after theRequest
   end if
   if ($REMOTE_USER is not empty) then
     put "Remote-User:"&&$REMOTE_USER&crLF after theRequest
   end if

   if ($REQUEST_METHOD = "PUT") then
     read from stdin until empty
     put crLF&it after theRequest
   end if

   write theRequest&crLF&crLF to socket "127.0.0.1:8080"

   read from socket "127.0.0.1:8080" until (crLF&crLF)
   put it into theHeaders
   put lineOffset(theHeaders, "Content-Length:") into theLine
   if (theLine > 0) then
     set the itemDelimiter to ":"
     put item 2 of line theLine of theHeaders into theLength
     read from socket "127.0.0.1:8080" for theLength
     put it into theBody
   else
     read from socket "127.0.0.1:8080" until empty
     put it into theBody
   end if

   ## delete the status line
   delete line 1 of theHeaders
   put (theHeaders&crLF&crLF&theBody)
end startup

Best Regards,
Brian

You can put as many handlers and/or functions in cgi scripts as you need.

Nope. The 'startup' message is the only message MC sends/fires in a CGI script (I 
think), but it's just another Metatalk message and follows all the same rules as all 
the others (no nested handlers). From within the 'startup' handler, you can reference 
any number of other standard or custom handlers/functions/etc. Like this:

-- start of script --

on startup
  if firstchar(the platform) = char 1 of the systemVersion then
doDance "Windows?"
  else
doDance "Mac?"
  end if

  writeSomething
end startup

function firstChar pCharString
  return char 1 of pCharString
end firstChar

on doDance pDanceType
  tellSomeone "Are you running" && pDanceType
end doDance

on tellSomeone pMessage
  put "Content Type: text/html" & cr \
  & "Content Length:" && length(pMessage) & cr & cr

  put pMessage
end tellSomeone

on writeSomething
  put "Uh"
end writeSomething

-- end of script --


> So does this mean that one CGI file is one handler and that I can't pass
> arguments to it or can I do something like this:


The 'startup' message has no params, but you can create other handlers in your CGI 
script that use'em (see above).

Can I put Multiple handlers in a CGI script?

2002-08-27 Thread Rich Mooney

As I understand it, a CGI needs to be in the following format:

#! mc
on Startup
#script
end Startup

I also have the impression that any script in this CGI had to be between "on
Startup" and "end Startup".
So does this mean that one CGI file is one handler and that I can't pass
arguments to it or can I do something like this:

#! mc
on Startup
on handler1 param1 param2
# do stuff
end handler1
function dosomething
# do stuff
end dosomething
end Startup

What's the latest? What's the best format to use for xplatform video in

I thought that MPEG1 was the crossplatform format... looking at the man
pages for xanim... MPEG playback is incomplete, and the player choked on
a downloaded movie. Noatun plays it using Mpeglib...

Reference talks about the videoclipplayer property (well one sentence:).
Should I use this to change it to an mpegplayer?

In my ignorance, I forgot to check my archived mail files which contained

global gHierList,gMainFolder,gBaseLevels

on mouseUp
  put "" into gHierList
  put "" into fld tresult

  put it into gMainFolder

  directoryWalk gMainFolder
  put gHierList into fld tresult
end mouseUp

on directoryWalk whatFolder
  --put whatFolder
  --exit to top
  set the itemDel to "/"

  put the files into temp
  add the number of lines of temp to tCount
  # filter temp with "*.html"

I wrote a quick little "directorywalker" stack that does this, and reports
back whether it is a file (optionally along with its type) or a folder, and

there's no Mac type/creator checking), but here's the script:

I thought about it, but at that point I'd be recreating a combination of
MC's graphics routines and OS graphics routines in MetaTalk.  Likely slow,
and certainly more than I'd want to chew off:  who wants to calculate curves
in imagedata?

Filter help

2002-08-27 Thread FlexibleLearning
Okay, so one day I'll track down a list of Bourne Shell options as mentioned in the Help entry on Filters, but just for now...

[1] Using AND
How do we filter to extract both *.gif AND *.jpg from a list of file names?

[2] Using NOT
And how do we do the reverse, such as 'All files except *.txt' ?

Any pointers would be truly appreciated!

I use Fluxbox as wm which is as lean and fast as it can get (makes you feel 
really sorry for kde users;-). The windows looks and behavior can also be 
customized easily. For desktop I use Rox which uses gtk (I stayed away from 
gtk 2.x since I got tired of updating zillions of libraries and it doesn't 
really bring something new). The combination of Fluxbox and Rox is as fast 
and small and stable as it can get and you get all the features you 
actually need plus more.

Don't get me wrong - I kind of like the minimal aesthetic of the new
Demo Stack :) I think I can dump KDE for now... it is pretty slow. Which
window managers work the best with mc? From reading the instal docs -
windowmaker seems preffered. 

Anyone use any others that work well for them... I'm looking for
something lean and fast that I can customize to make standalone machines
out of?

Thanks,

david


NB - I've also found that large stack won't display in the latest
version of KDE, they open but are not visible... works fine with
windowmaker.

Progress During Downloads

2002-08-27 Thread Ray Horsley

If I use "put url myUrl into url myDiskPath" for a lengthy download, does
anybody know of a way to receive information from MetaCard during the
download so a progress graph can be shown to the user?

Have you tried accesing the image data directly using 2.4 features - my
guess is that would work?
