[REBOL] Re: works for GET, not POST
Ryan, It appears as though you will need to read from system/ports/input to receive the actual POST query data. This process is explained in more detail in the "REBOL/Core User's Guide," which is available in pdf format online at: http://www.rebol.com/download_manual.html or the print version is available through www.rebolpress.com . The relevent section begins on page 402, with POST explained on the following two pages. Hope this helps. - Scott - Original Message - From: "Ryan C.

I'd cut-and-pasted Bob's function and gave it a time to see what it did with it, but it just gave me an error, which I thought may have been due to the cutting-and-pasting, (I miss attachments on this list, as I'm sure others do), so I just assumed that what he wanted was a way to convert times to AM-PM format, (since REBOL /can /do the opposite), as it's not difficult to extract times from dates if that's what's wanted.

Likewise: Some of us (me) had no idea this was intended as a Programming Challenge (way too busy to read the whole thread), and was only paying attention when they noticed a bug in some posted code. I just get a little edgy when people start extrapolating from some code I banged out and posted to the list into a large scale assessments of my work, or the company I work for. :) Of course, it's best to always post code that you think is well polished, as a representative of your company, but I don't necessarily feel obliged to meet specific requirements of a non-customer especially if I'm not aware of those particular requirements. :-) A suggestion: Threads that are Programming Challenges should put "[PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE]", or something like that, in the subject line so I can avoid accidentally posting in those threads.

shall I grade all of us on a curve?
#1) I consider that most of you overlooked a biggie.
Succinct was chosen as a precise word.
It doesn't only mean small or fast or unreadable. (smile)
It particularly doesn't mean "change the spec". It doesn't matter how fast
you make it if I must insert an intermediate function to convert what you
wrote into what would function as a drop-in replacement. You would have to
benchmark the intermediate too.
I used the word named 'dt (vs tm) as an argument in my example for a
reason. I also did not restrict the argument type for a reason. I was
passing date!s (not time!s) into it. Specifically I was passing structures
that would have a /time path or refinement to them. These were not just
time paths to things I made up, they had to work with standard rebol return
values that had a /time refinement.
In some cases I made a /local dt and copied your argument to the local as in
myampm: func [ adt /local dt ] [ dt: adt/time
...
]
in order to avoid the intermediate function call overhead.
Here are test cases derived from actual working sections
of the code where the function is used.
time-ampm modified? %user.r
time-ampm ( oo: make object! [ time: now ] )
time-ampm now
#2) most of you did not get the fact that the result was to be fixed width
(zero padded on the left) -- the clue was in the comment
; hh:mm vs [h]h:mm
This one turned out to be less important as the system I was trying to
mimic [remember my reason for starting the "How do I thread(s)" ???
] said fixed width in the spec but in implementation [reality] was
variable width and not 0 padded!
this one has a boundary case which wrecks even my own code.
time-ampm 20-Jan-2001/18:57:53
#3) what about being able to get only what you are interested in?
>this version allows coding by deletion
>since the two parts ...
However, This part of the challenge seems to have been ignored.
In the area of potential refinements, I saw very little in the replies that
could be easily tweaked return the two separate values (AM PM vs 12
hrfmt). I guess it was the excitement of the hunt.
so here you also have a lesson in "coupling and cohesion". RT is to be
congratulated in the cohesion of the base date!time! refinements. I will
let you each decide how badly you sacrificed coupling in the interest of
beating a benchmark.
Overall, I appreciate the effort and
thanks for your participation.
Most of you figured out that there was little I stood to gain by putting up
my challenge if my own code worked adequately already.
Indeed, I was also trying to make the community (not just RT) aware of
practical and potential extensions (see
http://rebol.com/contribution_source.html ) or alternatively, refinements
to the base time!date! types involved. (see refinements below)
Being the stickler for orthogonality I am, I noted that REBOL can accept
12hour format but is not so good at emitting it (or allowing the programmer
to).
print 20-Jan-2001/08:57PM
By pointing out so many different ways one can make mistakes at the
boundaries in emitting it and getting you to come up with a concise
function that does it all, I make it attractive to be standardized or codified.
If any of you want to resubmit a better and more concise solution (read
succinct) that RT can consider for a to-ampm (like to-idate) with
refinements that allow selective inclusion/exclusion of the parts then lets
hear it!
In the meantime, what if it were just a simple part of the datatypes involved?
As I have watched Rebol evolve,
"being able to get [at] only what you are interested in"
is a characteristic of the base type support in the language.
--proposed refinements--
Date Refinements:
/year -- Returns the year only.
/month -- Returns the month only.
/day -- Returns the day of the month only.
/time -- Returns the time only.
/zone -- Returns the time zone offset from GMT only.
/date -- Returns date only.
/weekday -- Returns day of the week as integer (Sunday is day 7).
/inampm -- time portion as [h]h:mm:ss[A|P]M,
variable width hh, first hour is 12 not 0
can be combined with /time to return time only portion
Time Refinements:
/hour -- (stet)
/minute -- (stet)
/second -- (stet)
/ampm -- ante meridiem, returns "AM" or "PM"
/in12hr -- [h]h:mm:ss, variable width hh, first hour is 12 not 0
example: {
ftim: modified? %/databse/srcobjs
print ftim/inampm
print now/inampm
}

Nothing to do with forcing at all. Many of the authors I know have more recent versions and would like to get the updated ones there, but have been unable to whilst the upload bot has been failing. There have been a number of core releases since some of those scripts went up there, some are very out of date (obsolete functions), others were broken by changes in core. Besides its a little courtesy for the author, let 'em know you like the script, report any bugs, have they got an update?, ask about their coding style, technical choices.
