[REBOL] [ANN] rebXR experimental pre-release
Fellow Rebolers! I'm sure some of you remember Maarten Koopmans' excellent asnyc:// tutorial sent to the list some time ago. What you might not know, is that Maarten also did some most excellent work combining a standalone server (based on async://) with rebXR. Based on Maarten's stuff, I have a new rebXR version in the works, which includes a standalone server and maybe an async client. Here is an experimental pre-release of that rebXR version. You can fetch it at: - http://earl.strain.at/rebol/rebXR/rebXR-experimental-20040524.zip Included is a "make-lib.r" script, which combines all rebXR modules (except the cgi-server module) into a single file, rebxr.r. The async server is started via xmlrpc-serve port-number allowed-methods So a full async XML-RPC "add" server would be: -- snip -- do %rebxr.r sample-add: func [ a b ] [ return a + b ] xmlrpc-serve 9090 [ sample-add ] -- snap -- I'd appreciate any bug reports (preferrably via personal email) and hope to get out the new stable version of rebXR "Real Soon Now" :) -- Best regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.

Wow! I must confess, I'm impressed! To summarize my first experiences: Snuffstream performs reasonably good, in fact it performs so good, that measuring it against Apache made sense. Considering Snuffstream's size, it's memory and CPU usage while running I'm inclined to say that is a very interesting product, although I'm (obviously) not yet able to tell about long-time performance or various issues that may arise in "real world" deployment. >From what I can tell at the moment, I consider Snuffstream a viable HTTP server for static file serving purposes, especially when a "personal" server (e.g. running on your "desktop" machine) is required. It's a serious competitor to established products in this sector, especially when we consider Snuffstream's "just drop it somewhere" installation. Further, due to it's size and reasonable performance, embedding Snuffstream in custom applications that require static HTTP file serving seems to be an obvious fit. Finally, Snuffstream seems to be _very_ suited for it's marketed purpose, namely as VLC server. Once I have more data on long-time stability, I'll report again :) Finally, some test results that lead me to above conclusions: 1) Downloading a 481 MB file first with wget and then with Firefox. Snuffstream: - wget: download at 5.38 MB/s - Firefox: download at roughly 4.0 MB/s - Both: the process's CPU usage stays between 2% to 10% - Both: process size keeps constantly at around 5 MB Apache: - wget: download at 7.58 MB/s - Firefox: download at roughly 3.9 MB/s - Both: CPU usage at 0% - Both: process size total (2 processes) at around 6.5 MB 2) Simulated load requesting a 9 byte .txt file. Snuffstream's config.r has been modified to serve *.txt as text/plain. 2.1) 1 worker, 100 sequential requests: - snu: 150 req/sec, 6.8 ms avg time per req - apa: 400 req/sec, 2.6 ms avg time per req 2.2) 2 parallel workers, 100 sequential requests each: - snu: 150 req/sec, 13.3 ms - apa: 400 req/sec, 4.9 ms 2.3) 10 parallel workers, 10 sequential requests each: - snu: 150 req/sec, 67.0 ms - apa: 380 req/sec, 25.0 ms 2.4) 50 parallel workers, 2 sequential requests each: - snu: 100 req/sec, 500.7 ms - apa: 200 req/sec, 250.3 ms 3) Simulated load requesting a 3 KByte .gif file. Snuffstream and Apache are both configured to serve this as application/octet-stream. 3.1) 1 worker, 100 sequential requests: - snu: 150 req/sec - apa: 400 req/sec 3.2) 10 parallel workers, 10 sequential requests each: - snu: 144 req/sec - apa: 380 req/sec My test setup: A P4-M 1.6, 512 MB RAM, 7200 RPM IDE HDD, WinXP SP1.

I think that it will be rather hard to get that kind of data to a CGI in real world scenarios. You won't be able to pass it via method GET's query string, as a blank is not a valid character there. So your url will either look like http://foo/bar?first%20one=1 or like http://foo/bar?first+one=1. Quite the same holds for method POST. If you submit a 'input type="text" name="first one"' with a value of "1" a browser will send 'first+one=1' as entity body. However, if one _manually_ does a POST this kind of bad data is certainly possible. For example read/custom http://foo/bar [ post "first one=1" ] will send 'first one=1' as entity body. So, what's the point of those lengthy explanations? While this is a scenario that is only created by 'broken' tools, 'decode-cgi should certainly cope with this broken data. Incidentially, my patched version of decode-cgi does _somehow_ cope with it: >> o: make object! b: decode-cgi "field one=1&fieldtwo=2" >> probe o make object!

Looks like you are using an older version of REBOL that misses the
'attempt function. I'd suggest upgrading to a recent version, but you
could also simply add attempt yourself:

[REBOL] [ANN] vanilla 0.6
Speaking for Christian and myself, after years and years (and, uhm, years) of hard and diligent work we are proud to release the hitherto longest-awaited Vanilla release ever: 0.6! Vanilla is a simple, extensible hypertext system and framework for developing small-scale web applications written in REBOL. Some examples for areas where Vanilla has proven to be incredibly useful: as supporting medium for project teams, as an personal idea store, as idea interconnector, as competitive monitoring tool, as todo list, as centrally administered contact database and as blogging tool. The official homepage of vanilla is http://www.vanillasite.at/ - there you'll find the full release notes, documentation, downloads and more. Enjoy!

The problem I see w/ coop multi-tasking (and I've implemented two coop mt server frameworks in REBOL) is that it's a viral, an all-or-nothing approach. If I have e.g. disk IO, I've to impl a simple file IO in a coop way, i.e. decompositing it into a state machine w/ small tasks that preferrably don't block. If I've some computing intensive algorithm, once more, I've to state it in a coop way. And I (my very personal opinion based on my experiences with that kind of stuff in REBOL) find that decomposition rather boring and the result quite hard to maintain. Imho, first class continuations would help in this situation, but that's another topic. So, when you control the whole application, it's at least possible to completely adhere to a coop oriented programming approach. Once I want to cleanly integrate with external apps or other libraries, yeah, problems may arise - who guarantees that the library of my choice does not use blocking IO, for example? I'm in no way an expert in the theoretical issues surrounding this topic, nor am I a REBOL guru. So it may well be that I've missed some nifty ways to write something that won't require complete changes in all my coding habits.

(**) if one of those contributions is really that huge or important and you want to make it available to your commercial customers, you would then have to negotiate a custom license with the copyright holder of the contribution. typically you would pay an appropriate amount for this license, or agree to share some percentage of your profit with the contributor. if the contributor grants you re-licensing rights for free - be happy :) but you sound a bit, like you would like to allow all people to contribute but only you are allowed to relicense stuff commercially and then make profit. although there are licensing possibilities to enforce this particular mode, as you might see, this is quite unfair - why should only you get paid for your stuff while you exploit contributors for your personal profit? > So... I will build my own license - the SCL - Steel Community > License. unless you have good license lawyers I would really discourage from building an own license as this is hard and very time-consuming work and unless you are familiar with the applicable laws, the chance is very high that the license you create is invalid and the terms of the license are not binding. instead I'd suggest to have a look at the Creative Commons licenses[1] especially at the "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License" [2] as this might be what you want. you could also have a look at the OSI-certified licenses [3] and see if some license there matches your needs.

CGI redirection mode is actually quite interesting: - you register a MIME type with an extension, e.g. application/x-httpd-rebol with .r or .rsp - then you tell apache, that whenever an resource of type application/x-httpd-rebol gets requested, it should take the file and pipe it thru an CGI. so you'll need some components: - an http-accessible directory where CGIs can be executed (usually cgi-bin) - a small rebol CGI, that reads everything it gets from stdin, processes this with build-markup and 'prints the result to stdout - an appropriate apache configuration to do CGI redirection of all .rsp files to this CGI i assume that you've got a place where to put CGIs. Now add the following lines to your apache config: AddType application/x-httpd-rebol .rsp Action application/x-httpd-rebol "/cgi-bin/rsp.cgi" Write the small REBOL CGI outlined before, and place it into your cgi-bin directory (using the extension .cgi).

For a very basic example, use the following two things:
- one cgi handling the HTTP POST
- a HTML containing the form
put the cgi into the cgi directory of your webserver (cgi-bin) and
modify the first line to properly reference your rebol.exe.
put the html into the documents directory of your webserver (htdocs)
and eventually modify the action="" to properly target the cgi.
here we go, the html first [no proper (X)HTML, i hope you'll forgive

A method to partially disable text parsing is already designed, if
you'd like to implement it, contact me off-list.
And if you want to use CSS stylesheets right now, use external
stylesheets and include them in your template.

comment [ ; for Jason only
When you store some REBOL code into a vanilla snip, look out for {}'s
in the original code, as these are valid string delimiters in REBOL
but special characters in vanilla.
Use my original code as posted on the mailing list as you've one of
these "escpaing mistakes" in the file you attached to your last mail.
]
--
In your example, tmp-post will look like the following:
[
MAX_SIZE: "10"
description: "describe me"
filename: make object! [
filename: "E:\FLASH\jasonMX\buddha.jpg"
type: "image/pjpeg"
content: {JFIFHH File }
]
]
you'd probably use it as follows:
cgi-obj: construct tmp-post
or if you use some older rebol
cgi-obj: make object! tmp-post
and then access the filename of the uploaded file via
cgi-obj/filename/filename
or you could write the content to a file
write/binary %somefile.jpg cgi-obj/filename/content
all of these should work :) good luck! :)

actually plus-to-space is a scaled down version of replace/all (have a
look at source replace). however, in the sense of reuse, using replace
is ok ;)
> Also, CRLF aren't converted to Rebol's newline.
this is most likely an application level problem - normal CRLFs should
not pass up to decode-cgi, only CRLFs which are hex-encoded. and i
think those should be passed thru to the app.
HOWEVER, there are two more important problems (imho):
1. decode-cgi is not able to properly parse "empty params" like name2
in "name1=val1&name2&name3=val3"
>> decode-cgi "name1=val1&name2&name3=val3"
== [name1: "val1" name2&name3: "val3"]
2. decode-cgi requires post-processing when it parses a string
containing multiple parameters with the same name:
"name=val1&name=val2"
>> decode-cgi "name=val1&name=val2"
== [name: "val1" name: "val2"]
this list is quite ok, but it does not make sense to 'make object!
this or even 'do it. naturally, multiple parameters with the same name
map to a list, imho:
>> decode-cgi "name=val1&name=val2"
== [name: ["val1" "val2"]]
so here is another patched decode-cgi :) [also submitted to feedback]

[assuming you are using vim6.0]
as you are trying to learn vim, maybe you'd like to have that command
explained.
a) VIM has a system known as "registers" - you can think of it as
quick buffers. registers are named by a single character which can be
any of {a-zA-Z0-9.%#:-"}
registers are accessed by "x - x beeing a valid register name
(character)
b) copy/paste/delete [y, p, d] can be optionally used with explicit
source/destination register. you can yank a piece of test into
register a and another text into b and then paste one of those texts
whenever you want.
c) + is the register refering to the clipboard (and therefore is a
read-only register)
now "+p should be clear ;)

I've already thought about integrating XML-RPC with Rugby, but you've been way faster ;) -- Regards, Andreas GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.

[REBOL] 'do - question
Hi Rebols! One question related to 'do: is there a chance for a block beeing "done" to halt the "doing"-process. Some example for clarification: -- snip -- [ REBOL [] bl: [ print "a" print "b" if ... [ ??? ] print "c ] do bl ] -- snip When the '...' condition holds, the "do" should stop. -- Best regards, Andreas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] ANN: rebXR 1.0 released
Hi Rebols! Mike Berrisford has pointed to it already, but I thought I'd do a personal announcement as well ;) I've just released rebXR 1.0 - XML-RPC for REBOL. Yeah, there were two XML-RPC implementations out there already, but I had some reasons for making another one. Recently I stumpled upong Gavin McKenzie's brilliant XML libraries, which make using XML with REBOL easy and funny ;) With that kinda weapon, I decided to build a stable, usable XML-RPC implementation. Have a look at it! - http://earl.strain.at/space/rebXR Thanks fly out to Chris Langreiter for mental support, to Gavin McKenzie for his great XML libs and to Dave Winer for the nice work known as the XML-RPC spec! -- Best regards, Andreas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
