[REBOL] Limit on data in CGI Post? Re:(4)
Also, decode-cgi is only for the GET request and not for POST. Yo uwill find that POST data has a more complex structure... almost like an email with attachments. You will have to deal with that data yourself. Jan wrote.. That's not right. The default encoding for POST is the same as for GET, i.e. application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Hi Jan Sterling is refering to the common use of POST for multiple mime types enctype="multipart/form-data" (used for file uploads), where as he says, it is much more like dealing with email attachments. Cheers, Allen K

[REBOL] IP reading enhancement, WAS: Searchable archive/ tcp/ip questions Re:(5)
Hello Michal, Oops, sorry, noticed your message a bit late! - Original Message - maybe I didn't understand you correctly. Can you connect to the internet with other programs on the same computer and at the same time REBOL prints 192.168.0.1? Yep, exactly! I'm on the internet (dial-up networking, Win98), and Rebol prints my network IP address instead of the internet IP number... winipcfg does give me the correct number, but Rebol doesn't. But it's probably a windows thing, because when I synchronise my computer over the network, and then attempt to go online, IE5 just keeps telling me I have to connect (when I have 'connect when there is no network present' checked), so I figure it's a windows thing. BUT, since winipcfg CAN read the correct address, perhaps Rebol should be more perceptive in this case? Perhaps a refinement that reads out the PPP-adapter's IP address, instead of the primary IP address? How about it RT? Regards, Rachid

REBOL gets the IP address from the host name, using DNS lookup, and this is arguably the correct thing to do. The problem is that some programs use IP addresses for all kinds of things, and this easily causes problems on multi-homed hosts because a program has no way of knowing which IP address is correct. As a rule, a program ideally should never use local IP addresses for anything other than printing debugging/diagnostic information. Local IP addresses should definitely never be used in a protocol in any way. Because of that, adding refinements to extend the current IP address API in REBOL would only make things worse, because it would require scripts to be changed by every user so the refinements match the configuration of the machine they are running on -- a bad idea. Unfortunately in REBOL/Core 2.2 the FTP implementation uses local IP addresses in such an incorrect way, which is causing problems for some users. The correct thing is not to change the way REBOL determines the local IP address, but rather to fix the protocols so they do not need to know local IP addresses at all :-). FTP in REBOL/View does it correctly, and the fix will also be in the next /Core release. -- Holger Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[REBOL] Rebol webserver which executes Rebol scripts?
Hi, Sorry if this has been covered already but I couldn't find anything in the examples, documentation, or mailing list archive and I'm a clueless newbie in Rebol. Basically, is it possible to create a Rebol webserver which executes Rebol scripts? For example, say I had a Rebol webserver which serves a html form. Could I pass the values on this form to a Rebol script and have it return a dynamically generated webpage? I tried RUI (http://195.181.8.32/dm98411/rebol/ and http://rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/userlist-search.r?type=wordssection= bodyindexes=10search=rui). It shows that this is possible. However, RUI is slow, it lacks documentation, and the interface is unlike anything I've seen in web development. I don't mean to knock RUI because it's very slick and maybe it's the only way of doing this. However, it'd be nice to have a simpler and cleaner model. Especially as a way to package Rebol scripts for those who fear everything non-gui. If this has already been discussed could somebody send me a link? Thanks, Bob

Plus there's a simple one in the examples, I believe in the rebol site. There's also been other web servers posted on this mailing list. Nearly all of them can run rebol scripts. You could also get the beta REBOL Apache module, which, I believe, runs a lot quicker. And, as a cgi, you can run REBOL under several non-rebol web servers, such as MS PWS and others. I hope that helps. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/ --

[REBOL] online database manipulation
Hi REBOLers: Among many other REBOLian projects, I am putting my ref book, THE SANDERS PRICE GUIDE TO AUTOGRAPHS on line. It has over 80,000 prices. Until REBOL/command is available and I can use mySQL, I've got the info on the server as a tab-delimited text file. I read it into REBOL via this technique: a: read/lines %auto.db a: to-hash a b: [] random/seed now/time repeat count 10 [append b pick a (random ((length? a) - 10)) ] You can a test of this in action (getting 10 random lookups every time Refresh is hit) at http://abooks.com/cgi-bin/randauto.r. My question: can anyone suggest a more efficient way to doing this? Thanks, --Ralph Roberts REBmeister, ALEXANDER BOOKS

You cannot, because "Internet IP address" is not a clearly defined term. Some users have multiple Internet connections, some none at all. Also, not all platforms provide APIs that allow REBOL to get IP addresses on individual interfaces, not to mention the difficulty of even figuring out which interface connects you to "the Internet". Plus there are complications with IP-NAT, proxies... Why do you need to know at all ? :-) -- Holger Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED]
