[REBOL] rebol and SSL
Hi Folks, I've been developing a shopping basket system using several rebol scripts (partly based on the sid and cart scripts on rebol.org) but now it is partly working I came to the matter of sending a secure order with credit card numbers. Since rebol doesn't currently support SSL I'm not entirely sure about how it could be used for securely sending credit card details. I don't have a lot of knowledge about SSL servers so anyone got suggestions about how this can be implemented (without dropping it and having credit details sent seperately by e-mail/phone) ?

[REBOL] odd form posting problem
Hi Folks, Apologies for the plenty number of recent e-mails about my form posting problems under IIS4. I do now almost have it working properly except for one minor problem. The problem occurs only with IIS form postings (well it never happened under apache here anyway) where the contents of a form is posted to a rebol script. Now the script now can decode the contents of the form posted but when it goes to access any of the form contents to build up an e-mail body it gives out an error message that the words don't exist. This caused much head scratching as when I included the line "print post" to display the contents of the post data for testing purposes on the webpage that the script displays it prints the e post data and proceeds to build up the e-mail body and sends it. Is there something else I should be doing between decoding the POST data and using the different names in the block that makes them visible to the rebol script ? Sorry I can't send the script to the list as I left it in work and forgot to mail it home. Doh!

[REBOL] POST method under IIS3/4 Re:(3)
On 20-Jan-00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said about the subject [REBOL] POST method under IIS3/4 Re:: These two little files work for me in IIS 4. If GET works for you, POST should as well, no more server configuration is needed. I`ve tried out your scripts and they don`t collect the form data and display it correctly on the new page. Instead it displays a page with the text: ?unset? 15 ?unset? Which is a bit strange. The "Print mold system/options/cgi" line provides the first ?unset?. The "read-io" line pulls this 15 from somewhere and the "print data" line displays the final ?unset?. Any ideas why it might be acting differently here ? Ed.
[REBOL] POST method under IIS3/4 Re:(4)
Hi, On 20-Jan-00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said about the subject [REBOL] POST method under IIS3/4 Re:: Hmm, I just realised the PUT, DELETE extras mentioned in the cgi howto isn't setup in IIS4 configuration. Would that likely cause a problem ? I looked at HTTP protocol (RFC 2068), and I don't think so. These are just two of seven HTTP methods (OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE). PUT is used for uploading pages and replacing them with newer versions, and DELETE is for deleting pages. The setting in IIS4 for excluding methods is for safety, so that scripts cannot modify or delete files on the server. Thanks for the info. I thought that wouldn`t have affected things. I did manage to get form postings to work though (wahey!!). I used the lines: read-io system/ports/input data: 2000 2000 post: decode-cgi data and I`ve managed to pick up the contents of the form but (isn`t there always) it appears to be picky as to when I can access the values that have been decoded. I have a line that pulls some of the info from the form and builds up the contents of an e-mail. So for example as part of my message I have: message: rejoin [ "name:" name newline . and so on ... I get an error message displayed saying: "Script Error: name has no value" While if I (for testing purposes) have the line "print post" above the message building, it has no problem obtaining the name value. What could be causing this strange problem and anyway to get around it without having to display the test info ? Ed.

It didn't seem to know what to do with the input. Also, the flags you are setting when you invoke the script eg. rebol -cs or rebol -cgi or whatever? Yes they're setup as -cs in the IIS setup.

[REBOL] POST method under IIS3/4

Can anyone who has succeded in getting the POST method to be used with webbased forms under IIS3/4 tell us how they managed it.

[REBOL] rebol cgi under IIS
Hi Folks, I`ve been having a little problem getting rebol scripts to work under IIS on NT. I set up the server to use rebol (tried this with both IIS3 4) but no matter what I do, I always get the error message when running a script from the webserver: "CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:" Now I remember a while back getting rebol scripts to run of an IIS4 server before and having this error but have not been able to fix it now (I lost the previous working scripts a while back when the server was replaced). So I know it must have something to do with the line: print "Content-Type: text/html^/^/" not giving proper headers but I`m at a loss to figure out what to do. I`ve tried adding additional ^/ but nothing makes it work. BTW, I also don`t have any line at the top of the script such as: "!#c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs" as I don`t think IIS needs it (apache does ofcourse and the same scripts run fine under it - changing the server to Apache is not an option though). So if anyone can point the way, i`d be grateful. Ed.
[REBOL] rebol cgi under IIS Re:(2)
I have IIS4.0. I set the properties in IIS4.0 on the cgi-bin directory to c:\rebol.exe -cs %s %s and used .r for the extension for the script files. I`ve have done that. It wouldn`t do anything at all without it. You dont need the "!#c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs" at the top of your script with Ah I thought so. IIS. Now I had problems very similiar which I couldnt figure out until I changed the form method in the HTML script from a method of "post" to "get". The problem is, it just refuses to return with anything, with any script. My main form handling script I need to use must use post as it contains a lot of data (more than the 255 characters or something like that limit on GETs). I get the same error with any script I use. Even simple scripts that all they do is return with a html page with a test message. No form processing is done on these so no GETs or POSTs needed. statements. I struggled at first with this also. What I did was made sure I found a simple example and got it working first. I used the cgiform example on the rebol web site. I suggest you use it to test IIS at first when your setting it up. Well I`d prefer to get some test scripts working first before I even go near any form scripts like the cgiform examples. But I suppose I should have another look at them to see if there is something I have missing. If anyone has any suggestions as to why even a simple html page can`t be displayed with no form handling on IIS, again, give me a shout. Ed.
