URLencode bug?

2011-03-17 Thread Chipp Walters 
I am trying to URLencode some data and for some reason it won't encode.

Can anyone else get this to encode? It's a simple text field with no funny
chars.

Here's a test: (put in msg box and hit return)
go URL "http://www.widgetgadget.com/stuff/URLencodeBug.livecode";

For some reason it CAN URLencode the first 3111 chars, but barfs on any past
there. Is there a char limit to what URLencode works on?

TIA,
C

I ran into this earlier and tried to ask about it, but wasn't very clear.
 When you urlEncode the field it turns it into one huge unbroken line, and
certain lengths of unbroken lines cause fields some problems it seems. The
line length you get from the urlEncode is within the accepted limits
according to docs, but something seems broken in fields. To see this in
action, try this stack.. Click add data several times till the line length
gets to 14700 and poof.  Only the overflow shows.  I didn't bother to find
the exact breakover point, but there it is. Also, behavior varies with line
wrap on and off. With line wrap off, things poof when you get to to 8400
line length, but the overflow never shows.  So my feeling is its a field
problem, not an encode problem.

2011-03-17 Thread Mike Bonner 
Oh, and if you just keep adding data up to the max limit on like length,
every breakover point the field resets and shows only the new stuff after
the break. (or if wrap is off, it just never shows anything again)  I forget
where the limit is on wrapped lines, things might be behaving correctly, but
the complete disappearance when wrap is off is surely not correct.

I think URL Encode seems to ignore linefeeds and/or returns in its midst, so
an occasional line break or cr  should break up the line limit problems.

Ah, but you can use them for storage Great way to preserve small blocks of
data.
FUNCTION libFile_HXEncode pData
 put base64encode(pData) into tData
 replace return with linefeed in tData
 return tData
END libFile_HXEncode

FUNCTION libFile_HXDecode pData
 replace linefeed with return with tData
 put base64decode(pData) into tData
 return tData
END libFile_HXDecode

 Base64Encode after using URLEncode can be an almost bulletproof way to
store data in situ.
one can create medium sized, neat readable blocks of data in your script
that look like formatted object code blocks.
The data could be exact htmlText that you want with placeholders encoded in.
 Or "perfect" MySQL calls with the 'right'  punctuation.

 /*

 BASE64Encoded:

 SELECT

 dm.Device_Number,

 dm.id

 FROM ( DEVICES_Main_R AS dm

 INNER JOIN Devices_Types AS devABBRV ON dm.Device_Abbrev=devABBRV.id )

 WHERE devABBRV.Device_Abbrev LIKE '' ;

*/


get \


 "U0VMRUNUCiAgZG0uRGV2aWNlX051bWJlciwKICBkbS5pZAogIEZST00gKCAgREVWSUNFU19N"

put base64decode(it) into tSQL



Nicer for some things over custom properties because you can keep all the
data and code in the same place.   Not easy to hand code this but easy to
make a code builder in rev. I will include some comment english text
explaining what it is.

Re: URLencode bug?

2011-03-18 Thread Chipp Walters 
I wrote out the URLencoded text to a txt file and was able to open it in 
Notepad and see it was all there. The Google API I was using kept throwing 
errors, which led me down some path confusing me whether or not the data was 
really URLencoded. After a bit of needed error checking, and changing to 
posting vs getting, things are working fine.

Yep, years ago I wrote a stack sharing library for Rev which passed back and 
forth via a server any changes made to stacks, thus allowing multiple people in 
remote locations to work on the same stack at the same time, and used the 
base64encode trick you mention to encode all meta data for all controls and 
their properties. Worked well.

The project, called revShare, was commissioned by David Johnson, and as
such, is his property. You may try and contact him directly to find out
more. At the time it was created, things worked by updating changes via FTP
to a server and reading them via HTTP. The idea was it should be able to
accomodate synchronous and asynchronous communications. So, if someone made
a change to a stack they were sharing with you, yours would update as soon
as you came online, no matter if they were online or not. Sort of a cloud
based stack sharing system.
