The Case of the Vanishing Cursor
Hi John, For the record, this happened to me yesterday - exactly as you describe (invisible but still worked). Dual 1Ghz machine, Mac OSX 10.2.3 I restarted to get it back,. It has only happened once. Another weird thing I have seen a few times (maybe when my code gets MC all mixed up) is that the window locations gets mixed up. For instance if you set a btn to follow the mouseloc (on mousestilldown).. it follows the mouse but is offset by 20-30 pixels, making sure the mouseup message is never sent to the dragged btn? Again, since it is intermittent i fugure it is probably my code making it happen, somehow someway! Just thought I'd mention it.

RE: It just can only get better!
Alejandro, That's was a scriptfull! I'll just say that to code economically, you should use english... If you want a simple auto-replace function before the script is checked/compiled, no prob! But good luck with fixing translation errors!!! But it was just a matter of putting it in stack terms... I was a little sidetracked by the many words and examples! This is not a bad idea for making pseudocoding work! Hasta pronto! Xavier ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

used CommView...minus the hex info):

('INPUT=RGB1' is the actual 'command' or syntax)
The server responds with :
HTTP/1.0 2 OK..Server: Dahlia/1.0.9a..Connection: Keep-Alive..
And the very next packet is:
Content-Type: text/htmlhtmlBODY
onLoad=setTimeout('history.go(-1)',1)/BODY/html
When I try to send this information, the server responds, but instead of
'OK', there is an 'ERROR 400' or something...and obviously it does not do
anything to the device.
I hope this makes sense...

Hello,
I just thought I would post this in the hopes that someone has already
worked this out:
I need to respond to a device that has a simple server (a network
appliance). The server needs to be 'fed' cgi responses (i.e. GET or
POST),
and I have 'analyzed' the device that I am trying to emulate for the
format (basically a web interface from within a browser). I have the
format that the device is sending, but it has information embedded that
I
do not think is relevant to me (referrer: Mozilla, etc.). So when I
simply send this 'GET' command from an open socket (port 80) from
MetaCard, I get a response from the server, but it tells me there is an
error in the format.
I suppose my question is: when replying to a server in this
manner...who
should I say the referrer is? Do I need this? I know I need to read up
on
cgi scripting, but I thought this might be a simple procedure...
It is simple when you know it, why don't you post what exactly the server
sends and what your script replies, you give no helpful information.
Thanks for any info,

Try something like this:

put POST /cgi/input.cgi HTTP/1.0 crlf \

User-Agent: Metacard-Tool crlf \
Content-Length: length(tData) \
crlf crlf tData into tRequest
write tRequest to socket x
Post is the correct way to do it. You get the idea, each line of the header
is separated by crlf and you have crlf crlf between the header and the
content, that's the standard. If you still get errors play with the above
or repost to the list

No return from post on Linux? A bug?
Greetings Scott, Not sure actually if this is a bug report, or I am doing something wrong, a library mismatch, or maybe, just a request for a 'how to do it the right way'?? In any case I would appreciate any advice. Context: I have a stack that does a post command to a cgi script on a remote server. The cgi runs some sql queries to standard out (it has of course first set the correct html content type so that apache likes the output). Problem: On Windows, the sql output is returned as it right after the post command in the calling stack. On Linux, this does not happen. Nothing is returned. More Details: I can confirm that the cgi is being called, that the sql is being invoked, and I can save the output in a temporary file from this cgi (which is an MC script) or even read this file back in to a buffer, but then when I do a 'put' of this buffer, it does not return to the calling stack on the remote client. Again, only if it is a Linux client. It does return just fine to a Windows client. The stack itself was created using MC 2.4.3 and the MC interpreter on the webhost is 2.4 if that could be the problem, but it seems like the post would not work at all to invoke the cgi if it were. Anyway, any thoughts? I can provide more details as needed. Code samples below. Gracias, Sadhu - code sample, the calling stack on AzzList AzzClear set the listBehavior of field contents to true put action=list into azzdata set httpheaders to Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded return # the real name of the host has been replaced to protect the innocent post urlEncode(azzdata) to url (http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/azz.cgi;) put it into sqldata if (the number of characters in sqldata is zero) then answer Sorry, your data base is empty cr else put In the contents field below is a list of all the card titles into field title put sqldata into field contents end if end AzzList - code sample, the cgi stack #!/usr/local/bin/mc on startup put Content-Type: text/plain cr cr put emtpy into formdata if ($REQUEST_METHOD = POST) then put empty into buffer repeat until (length(buffer) = $CONTENT_LENGTH) read from stdin until empty put it after buffer end repeat else read from stdin until empty put it into buffer end if put urlDecode(buffer) into formdata split formdata by and = put keys(formdata) into keywords switch formdata[action] case list put select title from azz order by title; into the_query put the_query into url file:/tmp/azzlist.sql put psql azz -qt -f /tmp/azzlist.sql into command_string break end switch set shellCommand to /bin/sh put shell(command_string) end startup ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
RE: tab buttons
Use menuHistory to get the tab number To get the text on the tab use: put line (the menuHistory of btn X) of btn X To set a tab and execute the menuPick handler of the tab button you set the menuHistory. If you have the tab text then you'll need to use lineOffset on the button contents to get the tab number. Monte Does anyone know How do you determine which tab of a tab button is selected, and is there a way to programmatically set this?
