VPN and tsNet

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

I have a fairly simple stack that I use to get FedEx tracking data using 
tsNetPostSync.  It has worked fine until a new VPN connection was added.  The 
only change that I know is that it no longer allows a split tunnel so 
everything must go through the VPN.  Assuming that is the issue, how do I 
configure tsNet to use the VPN instead of trying to connect directly?  (I’m 
pretty sure that proxy is not enabled yet, but that is probably coming too).  I 
did try to set the defaultNetworkInterface but it did not seem to have any 
impact.  For now I am just disconnecting the VPN to pull the data.

Thanks for any help/pointers,
Brian

Re: Slightly OT: Windows Code Signing

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

Thank you Matthias,

I did notice the unexpectedly large price on Sectigo direct and purchase 
a 3 year through comodosslstore.com for about $212.50 USD, so at an okay 
price for me. Mine is just a plain signing cert, not the EV.


What I ran into that was very frustrating was the browser requirements. 
You would think - especially with the vagueness of browsers supporting 
certain features - that they would make an app to do their own CSR 
generation at the start of the process and the same app can do the 
download at the end


I do not have any older version of IE (on VMs or otherwise). I did 
download Firefox 68 (current release is 82!, but 68 is only from early 
2019) but could not get it to work. Finally I was able to download my 
cert via Safari under Mojave and move it to my Windows 10 via Dropbox 
and under Windows 10 use the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) to 
import it and export it in p12 (.pfk) format for use in signing 
Standalones. Success, but what a pain to go through.


If anyone has found a Issuer that will just let you download the code 
signing cert as a .p12 pr .pfk file, I'd like to know.

I've  purchased in July a 3year code signing certificate ( not the ELV) for 207 
Euro for all 3 years. The certifcate was also delivered by Sectigo. And i was 
able to download the certificate on my Windows 10 VM with Internet Explorer, if 
i remember right. I even cannot remember that a special version of Mozilla was 
required.
They only mentioned, that you cannot fetch your certificate with MS Edge, 
Chrome and Safari.
I've did the complete purchase process on my Windows 10 VM.

So I bought a new one from comodosslstore.com (which turns out is also

Now my cert is ready, but the download/install instructions requires Internet 
Explorer 11 or Firefox 68 or older (Firefox is at version 82 and Microsoft Edge

Their support documentation is conflicting and terrible (IMHO).

It is not too late to cancel the order and buy elsewhere. Does anyone have a 
recommendation for a supplier of Windows Code Signing certs that have a simple 
and straight forward process for buying AND getting the .p12 file you 
ultimately need for code signing?

This is kind of urgent since we are unable to sign until we get a new cert.

Re: Line length

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Bob,

I do what you're talking about all the time.   Here's my setObjectHeightToText 
command that I use (pass it the long id of the field, and the minimum height 
you want):

on setObjectHeightToText lID,minH
  put the rect of lID into tRect
  put item 2 of tRect + the formattedHeight of lID into item 4 of tRect
  if minH > 1 then
if item 4 of tRect - item 2 of tRect < minH then
  put item 2 of tRect + minH into item 4 of tRect
end if
  end if
  set the rect of lID to tRect
end setObjectHeightToText

Hope that helps!

Valentina Reports, DB & Server for LiveCode Updated to 10.5.5

[Lynn Fredricks via use-livecode]

Yes, we are still around.

We just released Valentina Release 10.5.5, which included updates to
Valentina Server, Valentina Studio as well as the Valentina ADKs for
LiveCode. There is a new installer script for LiveCode 9.x that should work
much better.

Valentina DB ADK for LiveCode embeds our ultra fast database engine as well
as our implementation of SQLite runtime with your LiveCode app.

Valentina Reports ADK for LiveCode embeds our reporting engine runtime with
your LiveCode app.

Connectivity to Valentina Server for LiveCode is included free in the
license of Server.

Valentina Studio is our free database management tool for macOS Windows and
Linux, which you can get here:
https://valentina-db.net/en/get-free-valentina-studio

You need Studio Pro though to use Report Designer.

Stay safe!

[OT] Users (was RE: Naive XML questions)

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

We did a off-the-street user test in NYC for a major bank in 1985. There were 
10 or 20 tasks. Among other things some options were selected using F1, F2, 
Fn... keys. Most participants type the "F" key followed by the "1" key even 
though the "F" keys were separated at the top of the keyboard just like today. 
After we were finished being flabbergasted we regrouped and listened to the 
testers and changed the design.

Thanks to all who replied, but Ken - you are spot on! I simply had no idea how 
to address an individual node. I am not keen to use any method other than the 
ones which already exist in the XML library, so this is the way for me. 

One can sometimes (often, if I’m honest) be stymied by some very basic lack of 
knowledge. It reminds me vaguely of some consumer tests which were done on (I 
think) early IBM PCs. The researchers wanted to know how the new users got on 
with the machine, how productive it was for them etc, but they soon found that 
the most common issue was how to switch the machine on! In explaining stuff, we 
neglect the basics at our peril.
