WPAD and DHCP Servers

2008-06-27 Thread Trevor DeVore

Hi,

In my quest to come up with a library that plays nicely with proxy  
servers in as many situations as possible I'm working on an  
implementation of the WPAD protocol for Revolution. When looking for  
the wpad.dat file you first ask for option 252 from a local DHCP  
server and the server will return a string pointing to wpad.dat. If  
that doesn't work then you move on to DNS and look for the wpad  
subdomain using the host name as the starting point.


I think I have the DNS portion figured out and I've coded an  
implementation using 'the hostName' and hostNameToAddress() (not  
tested yet).


I'm a little lost when it comes to the DHCP however. I am assuming  
that I should try to contact the DHCP server as defined in the network  
settings. On my local network that is 192.168.1.1. What I'm not sure  
about is how to send a request for option 252.


Is there anybody out there who is familiar with WPAD, DHCP and how to  
talk to a DHCP server an could share some insight?


Thanks,

In addition to the earlier suggestions, take a long look at inkmode.
By cleverly overlaying a colored graphic on top of your image and  
adjusting inkmode, it should be possible to make specific colored

You can do this very quickly and without resorting to polygons or

SSL and PostgreSQL

2008-06-27 Thread Sadhunathan Nadesan
Context:

We want to implement a client server application (2 tier) over the net,
a Rev client on Mac/PC, using the Rev database library functions, to
talk directly to a PostgreSQL database on a remote server.

For security purposes, PostgreSQL has the right stuff such as SSL and
it's own firewall.

We realize that a 3 tier architecture may be more secure in general, but
we have reasons to want to do this, and it's for a very limited number
of users strictly controlled  (for example, we can restrict which IP
addresses are allowed to connect.)

Problem:

What about Revolution?  Does it have the right stuff?  The documentation
on the revOpenDataBase function is not entirely clear - but it seems to
indicate that SSL only works on MySQL?  Is that true?

Also, the user manual hints that SSL functionality may not be available in
the database library except in the Enterprise edition.  Is that correct?

Solution:

What's the scoop?  Can we use the rev built in DB functions over SSL
to Postgres?  Anyone know?  Anyone doing it?

Re: rev apps on iPhone?

2008-06-27 Thread Josh Mellicker
I understand the desire to have Rev a write-once, deploy everywhere  
solution... iPhone, Windows mobile, web, toaster, microwave, etc.


But I'd like to cast my one very small vote that Rev continue to focus  
on doing one thing really well- make desktop apps for OSX/WinXP/Vista/ 
Linux that work really well.


To me, continuing to refine Rev's power in making it easier to work  
with databases, improving table fields, Quicktime and AVI functions,  
adding more standard widgets like popup calendars and various types of  
grids, better text processing... in my opinion, improving those core  
functions is so much more important than trying to make it a do  
everything solution, especially for a smaller company.


Xcode works fine for iPhone, there are other solutions for web, a wise  
person once told me, "stick to one thing, and be the best in the world  
at it."

Seeking volunteer Mac tester for new Rev standalone

Hello everyone:

I've been working for quite a while on a rev application called  
ExamMaster. It's almost ready for release (free to anyone on this  
list), but I need three small tests run by another Macintosh user. You  
would need to download the standalone from my iDisk Public Folder,  
then check 1) a stack opening question, 2) a font display question,  
and 3) an email question. I will just need a reply as to whether  
behavior on your end is as I expect.


If you're willing, email me off list and I'll explain the details.  
Thank you very much in advance.

Not completely. I have run into occasions when the cursor remains  
"stuck" despite my never having locked it, both in the IDE and in  
standalones -- it seems to occur sometimes when changing substacks or  
resuming Rev or the app. OSX 10.4.1, Studio 2.9 build 610. I still  
haven't gotten to the bottom of this. It's possible that I have a  
lock cursor command left in some script in the hierarchy. But there  
have been a couple of times when even sending "unlock cursor" from  
the message box doesn't change the cursor back to default mode.



I never use mouseLeave and mouseEnter messages to set the cursor,
because these are unreliable. If I do rely on the mouseEnter message
(e.g. to show a pop-up window), I use the send (in time) command to
hide the window. You could do the same with cursors.


Interesting. How exactly do you change cursors, eg, for rollover  
effects, if not by mouseenter/mouseleave? Do you use mousemove? And  
what difference would the "send in time" command make?



It is also possible to temporarily change the defaultCursor. This
makes locking the cursor unnecessary.


That's the point of my previous message. These days I try never to  
lock the cursor, I set the defaultcursor instead.

Loading and 'normalising' text from UTF files

2008-06-27 Thread Ben Rubinstein

I'm thinking this is a frequent requirement, such that I'm hoping someone may
have a standard routine for it.

I'm dealing with basically plain text files.  But basically plain text means
English with a few things such as smart quotes and possibly a few of the more
common western European accented characters; in other words, characters that
are outside ASCII, but within Mac Roman and Windows Latin 1/ISO-8859-1.

My app is getting these files from various sources; but they've all ended up
on Mac.  However, some are MacRoman, some are UTF-8.To date I've been
loading all the files with "URL "file:...", which of course messes up with
UTF-8.  These particular files are UTF-8 with no BOM.  I can probably code a
routine to deal with this particular case; eg by opportunistically searching
for the UTF-8 character sequence for a smart apostrophe that I happen to know
will appear in all the instances I'm currently dealing with.

But it made me wonder if there is a general algorithm^H^H^H heuristic I'd
guess for recognising the encoding of a file, and whether anyone's code a
general "load text file" routine that loads a file as binary, establishes the
encoding, and normalises the content so that it can be called on files in Mac
Roman or Windows Latin 1, UTF-8 or UTF-16 with or without BOM, etc, returning
the same result (or as close as can be) in each case?

If nobody has an actual routine that I can just steal, does anyone have tips
for how to guess the encoding?

TIA,

- Ben

ExifTool Question

2008-06-27 Thread John Miller

Greetings All,

I am writing a program that allows the user to add a caption for a  
jpg image.  Right, now, that caption is being written into a text  
file that sits alongside the image file.  My beta testers are not  
happy with this solution. So, I would like to be able to include a  
short caption as metdata in the jpg file.  From the archives, it  
appears that using ExifTool by Phil Harvey is the way to go.  I have  
read dozens of archived e-mails on this topic that are W-A-Y over my  
head.


1. How does one attach a copy of ExifTool as an application bundle in  
Rev?



2. Can someone provide a sample scripts that would show me how to use  
ExifTool to ...

A. Import the jpg file

B. Add the metadata

C. Export the altered jpg file


3. On a related topic (at least I think it is related), how does one  
attach a font to a stack so it becomes a part of the standalone app  
so that my users don't have to install a copy onto their machines?




Thanks in advance for your help.

defaultcursor to empty", which works nicely and lets Rev and/or the  
system handle the changes without locking up the cursor.

Re: Very simple cursor problem

2008-06-27 Thread Peter Brigham
I found I was having problems with using the lock cursor technique in  
this kind of situation, when the cursor gets locked and doesn't get  
unlocked. Once you lock it you have to take on the job of resetting  
it for every context, until you unlock it. And then sometimes for  
various reasons it stays locked, perhaps because a rapidly-moving  
cursor occasionally fails to trigger a mouseLeave message. I use "set  
the defaultcursor to hand" then "set the defaultcursor to empty",  
which works nicely and lets Rev and/or the system handle the changes  
without locking up the cursor.

Hi Steve,

The cursor changes, but you can't see it. Set the lockCursor to true
or use the command "lock cursor" to keep the new state of the cursor.
Unlock the cursor to see the default cursor(s) again.

Hi all,
This seems as basic as it can get. I have an image on a  
background. On

mouseEnter and mouseLeave it calls a simple handler in the stack
script. The
script uses a switch statement. On mouseEnter I "set cursor to
hand". On
mouseLeave I "set cursor to arrow". I know the script gets executed
because
I put "put" statements in that put unique messages for mouseEnter and
mouseLeave. BUT, the cursor never changes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Steve
