Re: POST
Thanks Andu, just what I needed! Now I know I could do all this with sockets, but as there is built in "post" and "get" methods in metaTalk how do I set the httpheaders to look like below? Andu (pretty please), if you have a spare moment could you post examples of a form submission from Netscape/Explorer using the "get" method, and also what Metacard's built in "post" and "get = get url someurl?someparams". That would give a complete picture...

Oops!
Uh... Sorry for those who tried to visit the web page I posted... they've got the power down at my school to replace the air conditioning system and check the backup generators (at least that's what they told me!) I'll post when the power is restored at my school and the site is back up! :) Richard MacLemale Instructional Technology Specialist James W.

Do you get this sort of stuff here form the list, or is there any other form of more extensive documentation you can get hold of (naturally at a price?) I think you're expecting too much: the httpHeaders property is empty by default, and you'll find documentation about what you can put in there by reading the HTTP protocol RFCs. By default MetaCard just includes the first line and a "Content-Length:" header. Putting some of the others (particularly the Host: header) wouldn't be a bad idea, depending what HTTP server you're trying to connect to.

Re: Digest metacard.v003.n439
I am trying to send an attachment file with the mcmail.mc file. So far, this is what I have done: I put a field "theAttachment" into the card. The script is from the button "Send", with my addition clearly marked. It does something, but it doesn't place it as an attachment, but as a part of the body text. # construct email header put "" into mailraw put "From: " fld "mailfrom" crlf after mailraw put "Date: " mimedate() crlf after mailraw put "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" crlf after mailraw put "MIME-Version: 1.0" crlf after mailraw put "Message-Id: " the seconds "-" the ticks "@MetaCardSMTP" crlf after mailraw put "To: " fld "to" crlf after mailraw if fld "cc" "" then put "CC: " fld "cc" crlf after mailraw end if put "Subject: " fld "subject" crlf after mailraw put crlf fld "body" after mailraw -- ** MY ADDITION if fld "theAttachment" is not empty then put fld "theAttachment" into theAttachmentName put "binfile:" theAttachmentName into theattachment put crlf "Content-Type: application/base64; name=" quote theattachment quote after mailraw put crlf crlf base64Encode(url theAttachment) after mailraw end if -- # socket implementation, talking to smtp smtpsend fld "smtpserver",fld "mailfrom",validEmailList,mailraw end composemail -- I sent the file (a MetaCard file) to myself. I copied and pasted the encoded data in my email into a MC field. A button has the following script: on mouseUp ask file "What file to save to?" put it into thefileName put base64Decode(field "thebinfile") into URL thefileName end mouseUp But now, when I attempt to open the file (type into the message box "Answer file "?"; open it), I get the message "stack was corrupted by a non-binary file transfer" - So, any suggestions? I really *need* to be able to send file attachments with this MCmail protocol. I am building an app that will generate a MC stack, then email it to the appropriate person.
