[google-appengine] Why are my plus signs disappearing?
I've noticed a strange bug in my application, which has an AJAX
callback for saving form (textarea) content into a blob in the
database. The problem is that while everything else saves fine, any
'+' characters disappear.
I've added an alert to the AJAX save routine so I can see that, before
the save, the '+' is still in the string, and then the meat of the
callback is this:
http_request.open('post', xmlUrl, true);
http_request.setRequestHeader(Content-Type, application/x-www-
form-urlencoded);
http_request.send('file_name=' + escape(file_name) +
'file_content=' + escape(ta_content));
the ta_content variable is the TextArea content that I just verified
with the javascript alert.
This posts against a save routine which does the following:
class Save(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self):
#fn = self.request.get('file_name')
fc = self.request.get('file_content')
newfile = db.GqlQuery('SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE [yadda yadda]).get
()
if newfile is not None:
newfile.content = db.Blob(str(fc))
else:
newfile = Posts(content = db.Blob(str(fc)),
content_type = ct)
newfile.put()
self.response.out.write('responseok/response')
And the DB entity is as follows:
class Posts(db.Model):
content = db.BlobProperty()
created = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
#content2 = db.StringProperty()
So my question is, where are my '+' signs disappearing and how can I
stop this? I'm encoding my data on the post. I'm converting to a
string before storing to a blob on the AppEngine side. I even
temporarily added a string to the entity so that I could actually see
the data as it's stored in the datastore and guess what? I can see my
,,,', and everything else. Just no +.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here, or does AppEngine just hate
me, plus signs or both?

[google-appengine] DB blob and URL fetch size limitations...
Team Google- Are there any plans to increase the DB blob object and URL fetch object size limitations? My understanding is that both are limited to 1MB which is a little constraining for one application I'm building. I understand that there are workarounds, such as the use of AWS, but for simplicity's sake, I'd like to keep everything in one place. If there's not a plan to change this overall, is there any opportunity to get this limit raised on a per-application basis? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

[google-appengine] Re: Domain squatting on App Engine
One way to do this if you don't need real-time responsiveness would be to have the application check a mail feed. I haven't played around with any Python IMAP libraries, but I assume that there would be a way to do this. Once they add scheduling--which is on the roadmap--there's no reason you couldn't have it check an email account every few minutes to see if any new emails have come up and execute the appropriate actions. If you need realtime responsiveness, then clearly having a mechanism for AppSpot to receive an email and fire off your application as appropriate would be awesome. There was someone out there who wrote an app for doing something like that and open-sourced it; if you have your own server elsewhere, you could configure it to receive those emails and fire off a request to your app. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of it, but if you search the archives of this group, I'm sure you'll find it. -Ben On Feb 18, 3:04 am, Peter pcmur...@gmail.com wrote: allows apps to recieve mail (presumably at appname@gmail.com). Allowing apps to receive and perform specific actions based on email content is something I'd really like to see implemented. I think it would make more sense to avoid the gmail.com namespace. A couple of alternatives I can think of: 1) Support email receipt on personally registered domain names that are using Google Apps 2) Automatically create a matching mailox under the appspot.com TLD name (appname@appspot.com) 3) Allow creation of a varying number of mailboxes under mailbox@appname.appspot.com On Feb 15, 9:33 am, Ian Lewis ianmle...@gmail.com wrote: I'm guessing the gmail shared namespace limitation has to do with being able to the forthcoming release that allows apps to recieve mail (presumably at appname@gmail.com). This is probably something they thought about in the beginning but just didn't implement.

For example, if 'appid' is already registered, you won't be able to create an app called 'app1d'. -- === 株式会社ビープラウド イアン・ルイス 〒150-0012 東京都渋谷区広尾1-11-2アイオス広尾ビル604 email: ianmle...@beproud.jp TEL：03-5795-2707 FAX：03-5795-2708http://www.beproud.jp/ === --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
