Re: Leumit not working in Firefox

שלום פייסל, חקרתי את הבעיה. אם בדף השער שלכם https://e-services.clalit.org.il/login/main.aspx מחליפים את הקריאות ל- openURL בהצבה פשוטה, למשל תוצאות בדיקות מעבדה במקום תוצאות בדיקות מעבדה התפריטים עובדים ב Firefox לגמרי בסדר. אינני חושב שזאת השקעה גדולה מידי, במיוחד שעד לפני כמה שבועות היה הכל תקין. אני משתמש במחשב בו מותקנת מערכת ההפעלה Linux, ואין ביכולתי לקנות מחשב נוסף רק לצורך גלישה באתר הכללית. תודה, צבי [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote, On 11/03/07 11:03: > > > > שלום רב, > > כדי לבחון אפשרות של מתן פתרונות לכלל הלקוחות, נושא התמיכה בדפדפנים > שונים באתר הכללית נמצא כל הזמן על סדר היום בשירותי בריאות כללית. > > אכן, בשלב זה, אתר הכללית תומך רק בדפדפנים מסוג אינטרנט אקספלורר של > מיקרוסופט מגרסה 5.5 ומעלה. > > מבדיקות תקופתיות שאנו עורכים על הרגלי הגלישה בישראל עולה כי כ-98% מכלל > הגולשים בישראל משתמשים בדפדפן מסוג אינטרנט אקספלורר (הנתונים על הרגלי > הגלישה בעולם, אגב, מראים כי 93.7% מהגולשים משתמשים בדפדפן זה). > > כיוון ששירותי בריאות כללית הנה מלכ"ר (מוסד ללא כוונת רווח), ופועלת > במסגרת מצומצמת מאוד של תקציבים, הוחלט בשלב זה שלא להקצות משאבים יקרים > לפיתוח ולתמיכה בדפדפנים נוספים, בעיקר בגלל הכמות הקטנה יחסית של גולשים > שמשתמשים בהם (גם במספרים אבסולוטיים). > > בנוסף לאמור לעיל, הכללית אינה חוסכת במאמצים כדי למצוא פתרונות אמיתיים > ללקוחות אשר מכל סיבה שהיא אינם משתמשים בדפדפן אקספלורר. כפועל יוצא של > מאמצים אלה, ולאחר בדיקה ובחינה מקיפים, הכללית החלה לפתח את אתריה > בטכנולוגיית .NET טכנולוגיה זו אמורה לתת את הפתרון המתבקש ע"י כך שמה > שהגולש מקבל בסופו של דבר הוא HTML טהור היכול להיקרא ע"י כל סוגי הדפדפנים. > > כמשתמש/ת בדפדפן מסוג Mozilla / FireFox, אנו תקווה שהפתרונות שאנו > מיישמים אכן יאפשרו לך ליהנות משירותי האינטרנט שאנו מציעים. אגב, פתרון > שרבים מלקוחותינו שאינם משתמשים באקספלורר באופן קבוע אימצו, הוא התקנת > האקספלורר והשימוש בו אך ורק למטרת הגלישה באתר הכללית. > > > > בכבוד רב, פייסל > > *צוות תמיכה כללית און ליין * > > *טלפון**: **2700*** **שלוחה **3 **אחרי בחירת השפה* > > *דואר אלקטרוני: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > נשמח לעזור 24 שעות ביממה החל מיום שבת 20:00 עד יום שישי 13:00 > > > > > *From:* Zvi Har'El [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > *Sent:* Saturday, March 03, 2007 11:10 AM > *To:* כללית און ליין > *Subject:* System stopped wotking with firefox > > Your system stopped working with Firefox.

Double quotation marks in Unicode Hebrew
Shalom BIDI gurus! To distinguish, in Hebrew Unicode text, between quotation marks (מרכאות) and gershayim (גרשיים), I have been using for the opening quotation marks the unicode DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK U+201E (Windows-1255 0x84) and closing quotation marks the unicode LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK U+201C (Windows-1255: 0x93). For geshayim I used of course the unicode HEBREW PUNCTUATION GERSHAYIM U+05F4 (Windows-1255 0xD8). This arrangement looks best for me, although most modern books use (I think because of sheer laziness) the same glyph for all three (gershayim). However, I just noticed that Firefox 2.0.0.1 mirrors the LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK and displays instead the RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK U+201D (Windows-1255: 0x94). Firefox 1.5.0.9, Opera 9.10, and MSIE (sic) 6.0 All do not do it. Is this the correct behaviour under the UNICODE BIDI algorithm? Should I replace all my U+201C with U+201D so that they will look OK after mirroring? You can view my Web pages at http://JV.Gilead.org.il/hebrew/ and http://JV.Gilead.org.il/FAQ/index.he.html for examples of usage of these punctuation marks.

Re: FireFox and Bank haPoalim
Once you installed it, it really doesn't matter if somebody later breaks to Effie's site (to Effie it would matter :'( ). If you haven't installed it yet - you can download it, and examine the file contets (an XPI file is just a fancy extension to a ZIP archive) before installing it (from the local file, of course). I would do it even if the file were signed, and even if it came by a stork directly from mozdev :-) .

Re: Apache .htaccess Hides Folders
I think I now understand the problem. From my experience this is a pecularity of Apache 2. Apache 1 behaviur was different. Before an object is listed by mod_auto_index, apache tries to access it. You can, for example do the following test: In an autoindexed directory, create a directory, with a+rx perms. No .htaccess. You'll see it listed. Now, create inside it an unreadble index.html. Bang! It disappears! This behaviour is new to apache 2, I don't like it, but this is debatable.

Re: Apache .htaccess Hides Folders
Shalom Chaim, Your problem is simply setting unix access permissions (I assum you run a unix server, linux included, otherwise you wouldn't have written to this list ;-)). What you need is just to make the directory searchable, not readable, by the apache user (normally nobody or apache in redhat), so just run chmod o=x directory_name If you really need a .htaccess file, you have to make it universally readbable, i.e., chmod o+r directory_name/.htaccess BTW, read the apache error file, error_log: It should tell you about the permissions problem.

Re: Mozilla Printing
I don't use the RPM, but rather the tar.gz. The main reason I prefer to open a

suggest you read http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs and
http://www.geocities.com/pratiksolanki/ . I learned there a lot.

Re: Mozilla Printing
I am using RedHat 9.0, with mozilla 1.5 I downloaded as a tar file
(mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.5.tar.gz). This mozilla doesn't support Xprint by
default, and this is also what you miss. Do do it, I had to add the line
user_pref("print.print_method", 1);
in mozilla preferences file (you can do it prefs.js, but it is recommended to
do it in user.js - I also have the definions to enable trutype fonts), and
also to download the Xprint rpm
http://xprint.sourceforge.net/download/xprint-2003-04-16-release_008-0.8.i386.rpm
to install it and to start the Xprint server which it installs (using
chkconfig and service commands).
It really prints very nicely; I would remark that the Xprint server is really
an X server that prints from data clients put on the X display :33.
Interesting.

Re: Redhat 9 slowness - continued
More in info gcc: Thread-local storage (TLS) is a mechanism by which variables are allocated such that there is one instance of the variable per extant thread. The run-time model GCC uses to implement this originates in the IA-64 processor-specific ABI, but has since been migrated to other processors as well. It requires significant support from the linker (`ld'), dynamic linker (`ld.so'), and system libraries (`libc.so' and `libpthread.so'), so it is not available everywhere. etc. On Sun, 09 Nov 2003 08:42:27 +0200, Zvi Har'El wrote about "Re: Redhat 9 slowness - continued": > DOn't trust them. tls is "thread local storage".

Re: Redhat 9 slowness - continued
DOn't trust them. tls is "thread local storage". If you look at info libc (better source for information about libc than your inner soul ;-) and search for tls, you'll find `--without-tls' By default the C library is built with support for thread-local storage if the used tools support it. By using `--without-tls' this can be prevented though there generally is no reason since it creates compatibility problems. I admit this is not much information, but it is a correct one!

mutt's send-charset
Dear esteemed Linuxers,
As many of you, I use mutt to do my correspondence, and as many of you should,
I use UTF-8 as my main encoding, for everything. This enables me to edit files
in French, Russian, Turkish, Hebrew at (almost) the same ease (alas I don't
understand some of the things I write, but this is a separate issue ;-). Since
most of my correspondence is in English or Hebrew with an occasional French, I
wish the e-mail to be set in the minimal necessary encoding: 'us-ascii' if pure
English, 'iso-8859-1' if some French, 'iso-8859-8-i' if Hebrew, and if needed,
'utf-8'. For that I shamefully use the mutt configuration parameters:
set charset=utf-8
set send_charset=ascii:latin1:windows-1255:utf-8
charset-hook iso-8859-8-i hebrew
'latin1' is an iconv synonym for 'iso-8889-1' and 'hebrew' is a synonym for
'iso-8859-8'. The third line is needed because otherwise iconv doesn't know
what 'iso-8859-8-i' is. The shameful part is that I have to specify
'windows-1255' in the second line! just 'hebrew' (i.e., 'iso-8859-8') also
works, but it sends the wrong mime charset - it is Visual Hebrew, and people
who get it see it is Hebrew but have to change the charset to Logical Hebrew
before reading it conveniently. The 3rd command is useful for reading mail -
so that mutt knows how to decode Logical Hebrew, but using 'iso-8859-8-i'
instead of 'windows-1255' in the second command is no good - again wrong
mime-charset will be sent - 'iso-8859-8' (without the i). I tried to hide the
shame be replacing 'windows-1255' by 'cp1255', which is the same thing, really,
but looks less windowish, but I got complaint from some correspondents that
their mail readers didn't identify this encoding ("their problem" is not a
solution I recommend ;-)).
Do you see a solution to my dilemma, or should I wait to the time everybody
uses UTF-8 instead of all this plethora of encodings?

Re: HTML to jpg/gif in Linux
Html2ps (http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps-1.0b3) will convert html2ps, together with graphics, and gs (ghostscript) will convert ps to ppm (using -sDEVICE=ppmraw; see man ppm(5) about the "portable pixmap file format"), ppmtogif or ppmtojpeg will convert ppm to gif or jpeg, resp. (in RedHat 7.3, the latter programs are in the netpbm-progs-9.24-3 package). Using this approach you can control much better the quality of your images, and you can automate it by writing shell scripts to do it.

One of them is that I haven't done anything to fix 'one octet -> one column width model'. In UTF-8, this false assumption completely breaks down except for characters in US-ASCII(U+0020 - U+007E) as you are well aware. Therefore,in the message display screen, lines are wrapped prematurely and in the message index screen, headers (subject, recipient, etc) are truncated prematurely. The other is that somehow the link to 'email list management information' at the end of a message with 'list management information' header does not work. I guess it's easy to fix, but I haven't gotten around to look into it yet. There may be other problems as well. I'll be glad to hear about them, although I may not be able to fix them as quickly as I wish to. BTW, Pine 4.44 with my patch can also be run under non-UTF-8 terminal. In that case, you have to set 'character-set' to the encoding of your terminal (say, EUC-JP) and define your display filters accordingly. My goal was to make Pine a text-terminal version of MS OE or Mozilla-mail in terms of I18N support. With my patch, Pine got closer to that goal, but is still far from it. Some of features I want to see include: - The encoding(MIME charset) for outgoing emails should be decoupled from the encoding of a terminal under which Pine is launched. - It should be possible to change the encoding(MIME charset) of outgoing messages _at the time of_ composition (as is possible with MS OE and Mozilla-Mail.) Although going all the way to UTF-8 is desirable, the reality is that some of my correspondents cannot deal with UTF-8 messages. For them, I have to write in legacy encodings. Currently, I have to launch another Pine with a separate pinerc to compose my email in a legacy encoding. - The internal encoding conversion (as opposed to relying on users setting display filters correctly in pinerc) with iconv - 'assumed-charset' should be settable per-folder basis as well as globally.

I hate to replace all 11 mozilla 1.0rc1-0 rpms with 1.0rc1-1_rh7 from ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/nogin/unsorted_RPMs/mozilla/ . Do you know if there exists a 1.0rc1-0 rpm for mozilla-spellchecker somewhere?

encoding file names
Hi, Regarding a recent discussion about Unicode file names, you might be interested to know that NFS v4 defines path names to be UTF-8 encoded strings. See "NFS version 4 Protocol", RFC 3010, URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3010.txt However, nfs-utils 0.3.1, the current version on Redhat Linux 7.2, supports NFS v2 and v3 only. BTW, NFS v4 also have owner and group encoded in UTF-8 and are not numeric any more!

Re: Mode_switch Defined twice
Look at your XF86Config. You can see there LeftAlt Meta RightAltMeta This makes both Alt keys Mod1. Sometime later (and the xkb options in your XF86 config should be checked), you define ModeSwitch, which makes ALtGr, which is another name for RightALt, into your Mod3. At that point, the first definition should have been deleted. An easy cure will be do comment the line "RightAlt Meta" in your Xf86 config.

The way I do it, and I use UTF-8 now regularly in my xterm and vim, is to set LC_CTYPE to he_IL.UTF-8 . The UTF-8 extension make each xterm default to utf-8, and also Vim6, if compiled with features=big (you can check using :version), will give you encoding=utf-8 automatically. I the he_IL is so that I can use the hebrew keyboard outside vim, using the right-alt key, and the command which does this for me (in my .xsession) is setxkbmap -option grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:switch -model pc104 \ -rules xfree86 il (this was descussed awhile ago here). To edit hebrew inside vim, it is not needed. You can use the normal hebrew editing, as you do in iso-8859-8, with one difference: the default value of aleph, being 224, is suitable only for iso-8859-8. Therefore, I have in my vimrc the lines " Special setup for unicode aleph. The default value, 224, is suitable for " iso-8859-1 only!) if &encoding == "utf-8" set aleph=1488 endif I actually also have seveal map! statements for maqaf, geresh and gershayim. Lastly, I use digraphs for quotation marks. The latin double quotation mark are "6 on the left and "9 on the right, while in hebrew I use :9 on the right (which gives me U+201E I discussed earlier). By the way, I use LC_CTYPE and not LC_ALL as some prefer, since I use LC_COLLATE to be C, since I hate the English dictionary ordering of files in ls > > > > however I could not make it display it correctly > > > on Eterm, gnome-term or konsole > > > > I would try 'xterm -u8' and konsole, as they both should support unicode > > display.

Re: mod_proxy with an IIS server
Tzafrir, I checked the sources again. Vanilla Apache 1.3.22 *does not* handle Content-Location. The new HTTP/1.1 mod_proxy *does*. You can get it from the cvs snapshot at http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/httpd-proxy/ , or by anonymous cvs as follows (if your port 2401 is not blocked - it is not blocked by the Technion's firewall) $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic $ cvs login CVS password: anoncvs $ cvs checkout httpd-proxy What you get are new files for mod_proxy and a patch for http_protocol.c in the directory httpd-proxy/module-1.0 . If you need mod_ssl you can apply its patches - and apply the two rejects by hand (I did it - it works well). BTW, if you wait, you'll get everything (I hope) in apache 1.3.23 . Zvi.

Apache 1.3.22 does it for sure. I don't know which version of Apache you are using. The documentation says "ProxyPassReverse is only available in Apache 1.3b6 and later." Although it mentions only the Location header, the code handles URI and Content-Location headers in the same way, but I don't know when this handling started. If you wish I can check it in the CVS, but I think you had better upgrade. If you do use 1.3.22, write again. BTW, aparantly the next release, 1.3.23, will include a major mod_proxy face lifting, to support HTTP 1.1 completely. The code is already in the CVS, and I am using it to my best satisfaction in combination with apache 1.3.22 and mod_ssl. -- Dr. Zvi Har'El mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Mathematics tel:+972-54-227607 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology fax:+972-4-8324654 http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/ Haifa 32000, ISRAEL "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." -- Thumper (1942) Monday, 8 Shevat 5762, 21 January 2002, 10:49AM = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In Linux, or in Unix in general, you can get all the information about a file
by the stat(2) function, and utilities like `ls' or `find' just use it. As you
can see from the manual of stat(2), which is pretty elaborate, file creation
time is not available. On each file or directory you have three times: atime --
time of last access, mtime -- time of last modification, ctime -- time of last
change. stat(2) explains exactly what each one means. For example, mtime is
changed when a file is written into, or a directory is modified by adding a
file into it. However it does not change e.g when the file mode (rwx) is
changed. ctime, however, will change in either case. Again, you can read in
stat(2) exactly what is available, and either ls or find will print it for you
if you wish. But, file creation time is not available, and once the file is
modified, the creation ("initial modification") is lost.
However, while writing this reply, I found out that the
header file has the structure of the inode on the disk, and the time fields it
has are
__u32 i_atime;/* Access time */
__u32 i_ctime;/* Creation time */
__u32 i_mtime;/* Modification time */
__u32 i_dtime;/* Deletion Time */
I don't have any information about these, and how to access them. If somebody
can enlighten us, I'll be grateful.
Kol tuv,
Zvi.
