Re: mc-cgi and a database -- ideas, please

I'm looking to put together a language-learning website that my students -- and my students *only* -- can access from their home pc's and which, invisibly in the background, updates a database of student records (eg, names, passwords, dates site was accessed, time spent on the various language activities, grades). Of course, I want to involve mc-cgi in this as much as possible. (I've already been relying successfully on mc-cgi for a while now to help run my other internet-based doo-dahs.) The following model is my stab-in-the-dark attempt at envisioning the basic pieces of this puzzle and how to co-ordinate them: 1. on the web-server (a paid-for hosting service), I password-protect the website's top-folder and then manually enter individual usernames and passwords for each of my 100 or so students 2. place all my mc-cgi doo-dahs inside that password-protected folder 3. create a MySQL database using my web-hosting service's SQL Database control panel 4. script some kind of mc-cgi doohickey that acts as an invisible intermediary between that database and (a) (to keep track of who and when) the log-in window that pops up when a student accesses that top-folder (b) (to keep track of what and how) the various language activities, a.k.a, mc-cgi doo-dahs Now, assuming that I'm not too far off-track with that plan -- and that there aren't better alternative models -- what I don't understand is how to do Step 3. Actually, as far as Step 3(b) goes, I guess that given enough still-active brain cells and plenty of searches thru the List Archives I might eventually churn out some kind of scripting solution all on my own; however, I cannot fathom out at all how to go about scripting something for Step 3(a), namely, getting mc to talk with whatever process underlies the web-server calling up a log-in window for password-protected folders. If you use standard password protection on the folder, it's the server that would handle the password stuff before it gets to your cgi, so keeping track might be tricky. An alternative way would be to put the cgi scripts in the normal cgi-bin location, and instead of password protecting the folder, use some custom headers in the http request that would let the cgi script do the authentication. A simple example: On the client side: Say the client app contacts the server to request data for one of four available exercises. To get exercise 1, you could do something like this: # assume tID contains the student's ID put kweto_doohick: exerciseplease,1 tID into tHeaders set the httpHeaders to theaders put url http://www.kweto.com/cgi-bin/thingie.mt; into tExercise_1_Data ##do the usual check on the result ## etc, etc Then in the thingie.mt script: #!/somewhere/mc on startup put $HTTP_kweto_doohick into tActionString if item 1 of tActionString = exerciseplease then put item 3 of tActionString into tUserID ## do the big brother stuff on the user here if needed put item 2 of tActionString into tExNumber switch tExNumber case 1 ##get the exercise 1 data ## send it back in the normal way case 2 ### etc, etc end switch else ## no proper header, put error Not Welcome! cr into tErrString put Status: 410 go away cr put Content-Type: text/plain cr put Content-Length: length(tErrString) cr put cr put tErrString end if This will stop casual browsing of your cgi. If necessary, you could add more secure features to the custom headers. (session keys, MD5 digests, and what have you) Cheers Dave ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

RE: mc cgi: limiting users to one visit
Merci, Monsieur Sahores, Couple more questions if you don't mind... 1) Do you know of any current web applications running using MC-cgi? 2) What is long running process - is it a compiled MC app which acts as a server and is already loaded in memory on the server? 3) Can MC run on NT or 2000 as a cgi? If so, do you know where I can find info on how to set it up? I would like to run it on my laptop for building web apps, and then port to a Linux server. 4) What do you mean by use PHP as one of the best MC apps compliant sockets listener. and some help if you like: Chris and I have created a stack called altSAFileUp Library which enables users to upload files via the form type=file to a server. If you have an MC client app and wish to upload a file to a server, you can use this library to do so. It creates the correct headers for all the form data on a page, including multiple files, and uploads them in binary mode to the server. While I've only tested it with the SAFileUp control, it should work with any other server file upload controls on Mac, PC and Linux.

I was going to get around to asking Andu, Scott and others what the requirements would actually be before offering this service. We are in the process of upgrading to a 40gig disk and 512RAM server on our tiny 155 Mbit connection ;) (Linux Server) If there are enough interested parties then I'm sure our hosting company would welcome you, we have pricing up on our hosting page and everything is always in CANADIAN funds so our US and overseas clients end up paying less. See the link below (use the test mode site and find pricing under *hosting* link). -- Cheers, Simon Graphic Development: http://www.amigo-3.com/ (new site in test mode) http://www.amigo-3.com/newamigo -- "The great discoveries in science are not punctuated by 'Eureka!

This question is probably more related to my lack of understanding of web servers that any thing else. Is it possible to use metacard as a server on a web hosted by a third party? ie I assume I can't get my ISP to host my web and place mc in it to run cgi and mt scripts.
