Rev CGI - Texas - Time- Universe
I'm using a rev cgi on a server in Texas having it record the internet date to a text file on that server in Texas. When I retrieve that data here in Europe, the data reads : Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:07:41 + That data was created 10:07:41 my time here in Malta (same as Rome time). What I find confusing is the + part. Shouldn't that be -6000 or something like that? They should be 6 hours behind UTC, right? Has Texas become the center of all time? ;-) sims ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: XML encoding oddities
Thanks Trevor! (Also Ken). That seems to work very well. The particular problem I was trying to solve was how to serialize arrays with arbitrary keys and contents, such that they can be shared across networks and platforms. I think I've found a solution for my purposes, (though it won't be reliable with binary data), and it involves building the xml without the xml library, and then using the library to unserialize - though it fails if there is any ?xml... header at all!

Re: XML encoding oddities
Trevor, this is nice. I'd started doing something similar, but then realised that what I was after for what I'm working on was a way to neatly package up pretty much any non-binary data, array or not, whatever platform, and send to to a linux server (also running revolution) where it could be unpacked and used as is - hence the encoding issue. What I've come up with is considerably longer than yours :-) (Partly because I've factored out quite a lot of stuff to sub-handlers). But it seems to work well, and even produces slightly more compact output than yours when dealing with chunks of data 2-3Kb or more in size, which is no bad thing even in today's bandwidth? what's bandwidth? world. I also wrote a handy function arraysMatch() to test the input/output. For what it's worth, here it all is, below, Best, Mark -- pack and unpack are the 'high-level' functions function pack pData if pData is not an array then put pData into tArray[futpak] put tArray into pData end if put atx(pData) into tXml put base64encode(compress(tXml)) into tB64data replace cr with empty in tB64data return futpak tB64data end pack - function unpack pData if char 1 to 6 of pData is not futpak then return empty put decompress(base64decode(char 7 to -1 of pData)) into tXml put xta(tXml) into tArray if keys(tArray) = futpak then return tArray[futpak] else return tArray end if end unpack -- -- turns any revolution array into xml.

Re: different stack locations, different (or no) responses?
Jacque, Thank you so much for your suggestions but, unfortunately, they don't work. I had the same problem once or twice in the past with earlier Revolution Versions and at that time just gave up and created stacks from scratch instead of developing from clones but at the moment I simply lack the leisure to proceed like this. The situation is pretty annoying - three types of behaviour (two of them absolutely obstinate) of some and the same simple stack depending on its location and the way it is opened. I don't think that's the way things are supposed to work and still welcome any insight. All the best, Fritz On 10 Nov 2008, at 10:09, J. Landman Gay wrote: Friedrich F.

Did you move the stack's location on disk while it was still open in Rev? If so, then Rev doesn't know where the file is any more. If you closed the file but the stack's destroystack property is false, then the stack isn't really fully closed and Rev also won't know where it is. You should set the stack's destroystack property to true and close the stack, then move it, then re-open it. Alternately, you can choose Close and remove from memory from the File menu while the stack is open; that will fully close it. I'm not positive this is what the problem is, but it's something to try.

Re: Changing the Rev Icon
In my haste, I realized I hadn't really answered completely. It sounds like what you want to do is save stack files from a Rev-produced application and use them as documents for that application, not for Rev. At least this is a situation in which you might want to do what you're describing. When you set your Standalone Applications Settings you have the option to designate a document icon. It has to be .icns format for Mac and .ico for Windows. But the OS also has to somehow be told to use that icon. In order for that to happen you'll have to save the stack using a different file extension, and, if you're on a Mac, set the stackFileType property. Windows users may need to chime in for tips on how to force the OS to recognize the icons in your stack documents. HTH again.

Re: Rev CGI - Texas - Time- Universe
I'd guess this is a rev bug, but probably in combination with the system installation particularities. Most likely rev is unable to get the actual position of the server, because either it's not set, or set somewhere where rev doesn't look. I think you should file the problem, together with at least a listing of the environment variables, and the OS your host uses.

Re: different stack locations, different (or no) responses?
Jacque, Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions. I had been trying Save as... from inside Rev, to no avail, but encouraged by your mail I duplicated the stack from the desktop into a new folder, tried to open it, put a second folder into the first one, moved the stack therein, etc. etc. That seemed to work and so I started checking whether the nested folder in which the stack was originally planned to go might be the source of all these troubles. Now I think I found the culprit. The target folder was C (desktop folder A folder B folder C) with A, B, and C being meaningful names indicating the topics of the projects I am working on. C contains word processing files, outliner files and further folders. I never had any problem with opening the other stuff placed either in C or in its sub-folders, only the said Revolution stack displayed the strange behaviour I described. The problem, however, was not C in itself but rather the name of folder B in which one term was put in quotation marks. I removed those and now everything works as expected.

Re: Post Command Problem
Dave, are you using CGI or a custom server? Content can be chuncked in HTTP 1.1, this means that the server can slice the content and send it in little chunks for you to reassemble. Check this link which is very useful: http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/ (HTTP Made Really Easy). This document will explain in plain english the HTTP protocol. If you're using CGI, I believe Apache may reassemble chunked transfers for you, if it's your own server, you should do it yourself, or tell the client machine not to slice anything. Now, the post data might be corrupt, a connection might drop. Check the length against CONTENT-LENGTH header.

At least that is what I've been trying to do and the prints look fine. That makes sense to me, so that's the way I've done it. So, in my case, I guess I'm setting the scaling myself?

Unfortunately it doesn't make it proportional so the prints can look distorted. Is there a feature to keep it proportional or do I have to set the scaling myself?

Re: Printing options from answer printer
Bill, As Jan pointed out you need to define the pageRect like: 0,0,612,792 or some such. Not just a point. I didn't know about the as sheet part of the statement. Thanks for point the out.

So if you want to print the part of your card enclosed by a rectangle graphic on your card - into the same coordinates and size on the paper, you use: ## on mouseUp answer printer as sheet if the result is Cancel then exit mouseUp put the topleft of graphic PrintRect into theTopLeft put the bottomRight of graphic PrintRect into theBottomRight put the rectangle of graphic PrintRect into thePaperRect print this card from theTopLeft to theBottomRight into thePaperRect end mouseUp ## Now, if you want the same rectangular area on your card to fit into a completely different rectangle on paper, you use: ## on mouseUp answer printer as sheet if the result is Cancel then exit mouseUp put the topleft of graphic PrintRect into theTopLeft put the bottomRight of graphic PrintRect into theBottomRight put 30,100,400,700 into thePaperRect print this card from theTopLeft to theBottomRight into thePaperRect end mouseUp ## And what happens is that Revolution will take the area from your card and stretch or shrink it to fit the area on the printer. When you use this 'print into rect' approach, Revolution ignores the 'printScale' property; so if you want to 'print into rect' with scaling to ensure that everything fits while preserving a relative size, you'll need to tweak your paper rectangle a bit. Continuing with the above example of a rectangular area on your card, you would have something like: (mind the line wrappings) ## on mouseUp answer printer as sheet if the result is Cancel then exit mouseUp set the printerOutput to preview put the topleft of graphic PrintRect into theTopLeft put the bottomRight of graphic PrintRect into theBottomRight put 30,100,500,700 into thePaperRect -- now we calculate how we can save the relative size put item 1 of theBottomRight - item 1 of theTopLeft \ into theOriginWidth put item 2 of theBottomRight - item 2 of theTopLeft into \ theOriginHeight put item 3 of thePaperRect - item 1 of thePaperRect into \ thePrintWidth put item 4 of thePaperRect - item 2 of thePaperRect into \ thePrintHeight put thePrintWidth / theOriginWidth into theWidthRatio put thePrintHeight / theOriginHeight into theHeightRatio if theWidthRatio theHeightRatio then put round(theOriginWidth * theHeightRatio) into thePrintWidth else if theWidthRatio theHeightRatio then put round(theOriginHeight * theWidthRatio) into thePrintHeight end if put item 1 of thePaperRect + thePrintWidth into \ item 3 of thePaperRect put item 2 of thePaperRect + thePrintHeight into \ item 4 of thePaperRect print this card from theTopLeft to theBottomRight into thePaperRect end mouseUp ## HTH, Jan Schenkel.
