[cgiapp] Progress with my code
Hello, When we last left our intrepid hero, he was struggling with CGI::Authentication... OK, I got it working. Multiple authentication databases, and a single "global" one that awards global permissions. And timeouts depending on the IP address of the browser - long for the localnet, and short for the Internet. I used NetAddr::IP to find out if the browser address was inside the network defined by one of my interfaces. That's not perfect: The localnet is 10.xx.xx.xx, but there are routers on it that route to wireless networks starting with 192.168. I'm thinking maybe to just call ANY RFC1918 compliant local address "local". Internet gateways generally don't pass such addresses, and my firewall specifically drops them on the external interface, both for input and output. Thinking about it I have made good progress refactoring my code. It is now much cleaner. I'm not sure what's more important: CGI::Application or HTML::Template. It was especially satisfying to see all that messy HTML vanish out of my Perl code. And the HTML in the templates is much cleaner too, because I don't have to do any quote-escaping. I think the designer's decision to make HTML::Template "look like HTML" was a good one. I discovered that it's possible to have multiple templates open at the same time. So I was able to use templates for individual areas on the pages, individual rows in the data displays, even individual columns. I abandoned that last, though, because it just made things too slow, probably because of the cost of all the template file open()s. In general, the new code is slower than the old. The initial screen ( after login ) used to come up in about a second, now it takes two. I can tolerate that as long as the individual screens inside the application are reasonably fast. So thank you all for your help! - Jerry Kaidor # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Thinking about it Have a look at section 2 PREAMBLE in: http://www.isi.edu/~bmanning/dsua.html Is there a module on CPAN which tells you an address is/is not in one of these ranges? Probably. If not, feel free to write one :-)). >I have made good progress refactoring my code. It is now much cleaner. > I'm not sure what's more important: CGI::Application or > HTML::Template.
