Hi!

Neat.  I'd be quite interested in the finished product.  I've been
searching (fruitlessly) for a calendar that will print multi-day events
in a lined-up bar across the days instead of jumbling events together.
Will yours work for me?

Our calendar does something like this within our day view. We call it a 
chunking algorithm to allow events to span different hours and overlap 
with other events within the same day while looking nice.

Our month and week views do not do this same chunking (the events are just 
repeated) but the general chunking algorithm could probably be reused in 
our month and week views if this was something you were keen on.

It's part of the downloads on http://www.extropia.com/

Later,
 Gunther

HTTP debugging

2002-07-10 Thread Joel Hughes

Hi,
does anyone know of a good (hopefully with GUI) HTTP transaction viewer -
i.e. it proxies between your browser and the internet so that you can view
the HTTP interchange (you can view the request/response etc)

On win32 I have been using the handy HttpTracer but this is not able to
decrypt SSL which I would like. I need top be able to view the contents of
my SSL packets - HttpTracer just shows them as encrypted.

any ideas?

I need this because I am debugging a web application.

cheers

Joel

Good name; quite descriptive.

Exactly.

That's good to know.

Thanks; I'll save the bookmark!

extropia sounds very familiar; hmmm...  Ah!  Yep; I hit the Selena web
page when looking for web-based calendars back in '98 or so :-)  Perhaps
it's time I visited again.

libwww-perl and URI modules for 5.005_02

2002-07-10 Thread H. Victor Lim

Hello,

I am working on a Solaris platform using version 5.005_02.  Could
someone point me to libwww-perl and URI modules that would work with
5.005_02?  I searched through www.cpan.org and the earliest versions
that I found are:

   libwww-perl-5.10.tar.gz
   URI-1.18.tar.gz

After installing these modules, I tried to run my program and got the
error:

   Missing base argument at .../lib/site_perl/5.005/HTTP/Request.pm
line 102

I also searched the following sites which were listed under CPAN's FAQ
for Where can I find older/obsolete versions of Perl or Perl
Modules?:
(http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#Where_older_Perl)

http://www.etla.org/retroperl/
 - only has perl1 to perl4

http://mirrors.valueclick.com/perl/really-ancient-perls/
 - only has perl1 to perl5.003_08

http://history.perl.org/src/
 - only has perl1 to perl4

http://mirrors.valueclick.com/perl/backup.pause/ - for old versions of
modules
 - contains the following links:
   GAAS   -  
   libwww-perl-5.00.readme-  
   libwww-perl-5.00.tar.gz-  
   libwww-perl-5.01.readme-  
   libwww-perl-5.01.tar.gz-  
   libwww-perl-5.02.readme-  
   libwww-perl-5.02.tar.gz-  
   libwww-perl-5.03.readme-  
   libwww-perl-5.03.tar.gz-  
   libwww-perl-5b6.tar.gz -  

   but following these links all resulted in HTTP 404 - File not
found


It seems that upgrading from 5.005_02 to 5.6.1 is inevitable, but this
process would require additional time and resources to recertify all
of our existing programs on 5.6.1.

Thanks,
-Victor

No, it's not supposed to be that difficult and I don't believe it 
is.  I just tested the latest HTTP::Request and URI against Perl 
5.004_04 and it had no compilation problem.  The error you cite is a 
run-time error that is not indicative of using too old a perl.

Recommendation: use the *latest* libwww and URI. (Get 
Bundle::LWP.)  You haven't shown your program here so we can't tell how 
the error might lie there, but here's a hint: if the GET program 
supplied with libwww works, the problem is in your code.
