Re: Getting a files icon...
JR, A file's icon is in the resource fork of the file (Mac OS 9), a separate .icns resource file (Mac OS X) or in the compiled application resources (Windows), and so it's not really a part of what the file system stores about a file. The OS provides the icon based on its file association (stored in the desktop database in Mac and in the Registry in Windows). Either way, it will require moving resources around to get at the icon.

I was missing a couple of library files that MetaCard needed under Linux. The "#!mc" did refer to the same folder that the CGI was running in, so it's working fine now.

Getting a files icon...
Is there any way to get a files icon from MetaCard? There is nothing in the 'detailed files', and I do not see anything obvious in the docs... Thank you, JR ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: CGI Frustration
This is probably too obvious to ask, but are you sure you have the path statement at the beginning correct? This it tripped me in the beginning. everything seemed perfectly set up, but the path to the engine was wrong If you are being hosted on a virtual server, this can be an issue. If it is an issue, just look at Apache's error logs and you may need to set the path to the mc.exe to something along the lines of : #!/export/vhost/com/h/himalayanacademy/www/public_html/cgi-bin/mc i.e. just look at any path in the error logs and emulate that I had, initially wrongly assumed that I could must put #!mc on startup etc. because the engine was in the same (cgi-bin) directory as the scripts that were calling it... i.e. the default assumption would be "use a relative path" but, not so... won't work.

RE: MC 2.5b3 or 2.4 style?
Just wondering where I should focus some efforts... So I'll ask the kind users before guessing and fixing later... Do you prefer the 2.5 script editor or the 2.4 interface (Metacard's)? I've updated the 2.4 Script Editor X into 2.5 style! It's totally cool what you can do with MC given backward compatibility! And ideas are sprouting everywhere! So I wish you all a great weekend!

You don't need, Sadhu, to rebuild all the app if you stick the commun part of it in a first stack and the issue-specific part of it in a second stack. You can even set each one as the substack of the other and get them working together in using the start using command or a simple send message to an object set in the second or substack ;) > Since it is a small and simple application, rebuilding the UI from scratch > is not that hard - much easier than trying to upgrade the version of > Linux on the target machine.

Re: No return from "post" on Linux? A bug?
Scott, Regarding this post, I have determined, it is not a bug. Sorry to have bothered you. It is a portability issue (my problem). I find the stack files are not portable between the slightly different versions of MC on the development, versus the deployment machines. I certainly could have expected that. Hey, well .. it mostly worked! It ran. It just could not retrieve any data. But almost doesn't count. My solution is to redevelop the application under the version of MC running on the target machine. Since it is a small and simple application, rebuilding the UI from scratch is not that hard - much easier than trying to upgrade the version of Linux on the target machine. (That would be required to bring the MC versions into synch.) The main stack script file where most all the work is done still functions as is except, no split command on this earlier version of MC so I have to recode that part. No biggie. The application now retreives the data from a PostgreSQL db and all is well. Call this one a wrap. Sadhu ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: say it isn't so
Thanks for the replies and the code example...I guess I was just complaining. If I parse the files in a repeat (checking the first item in each line) and exit when I find it, it is fast enough.

Re: POST Command
Hi Dave, Yes, I'll give the socketTimeOutInterval a try. As for the headers returned by libUrlSetLogField, they look pretty much like the example you show here, except that on one or two occasions a content length line of 83 or 84 was included.

Yes, I have checked the result function after the post, and it is always empty. If I omit the CDML tag -Max=All from my post, I immediately get the default 25 records returned. And curiously, when I transfer the database to my local Mac and post to localhost, as I mentioned, all records are, in fact, returned. To check if it's just a timeout, try increasing the socketTimeoutInterval. The default is 1 (milliseconds). Try setting it to 3. What is logged when you use libUrlSetLogField? It should show the http headers returned by the server. I've only used Filemaker's xml features (different from CDML I think), but I guess the format should be similar.
