Re: post command
Please remember that a 'variable' in Rev is not the same as a
'variable' in a POST command sent to a PHP script.
The PHP script parses the *single string* that is passed into the
following:
pairs of names and values...
the name of the variable PHP will use, the string value of the variable
Send this from Rev flower=roseplant=treeshrub=Arbor%20Vitae
( the %20 represents a valid space character to PHP)
--
put flower=roseplant=treeshrub=Arbor%20Vitae into stringToSend
post to http://thisdomain.com/landscaping/inventory.php;
PHP *parses* this incoming string to (case sensitive)
$flower with a value of rose
$plant with a value of tree
$shrub with a value of Arbor Vitae
but not $Shrub or $sHrub or $shruB
Trying to refer to $Shrub if it is not defined will produce and error
and stop the PHP script execution.
PHP will render the error message as part of your visible web page.
To pass an array, you need to (in Rev) convert the array to a single
string with delimiters, pass this to PHP, and then run script lines in
PHP to convert the string into an array (usually using a series of the
'explode' function)
If a stack has a card for each {guitar, drum}
and a field listing {Flaminco, 400 and Stratocaster,3000}{snare,150
base,350 tympani,2900}
An example string sent to PHP
build the string and then choose a name for the PHP script to use as
the variable
*note, you must pass the legal variable name for PHP, and it needs to
match the name that the PHP script will use to work with the variable.
musicArr=guitar~Flaminco,400^Stratocaster,3000|drum~snare,150^base,
350^tympani,2900
//PHP allows multi dimensional arrays, so we need to build it from the
string
$instruments = explode('|', $musicArr);
then you explode each instrument and add it to the $instruments array
then you explode each listed kind (Flaminco) and add it to the
$instruments array
and set the value at the same time = with the price (eg $2900
for the tympani)
The result is one PHP variable that is a multidimensional array such
that
$price = $instruments['guitar']['Stratocaster'] // 3000
$price = $instruments['drum']['tympani'] // 2900
Fun and games and a little bit of stress.

Re: More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Dave I know you're trying the curl approach now, but did you ever try logging the request/response in the original post command? From earlier mail: Dave As you are getting back data (even if truncated), I'm guessing that Rev (libUrl) isn't seeing any error. But just to confirm, are you checking the result after each post? The normal result for this kind of problem is socket closed before end of file. It might be useful to check that it isn't a basic problem on the server side such as setting a wrong Content-length header. You could do this by either using libUrlSetLogField to log all requests/ responses, or if you can detect programmatically when a problem has occurred, use libUrlLastRHHeaders() to get the response from the server. (You'd need to do this before the next post command) As a start, it would let us know whether the server is using Content- length, or chunked transfer encoding, or neither. (It sounds like neither) To answer your very original question, there is no limit imposed on the amount of data returned by a post command.

Re: More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Hi Andre, I've got no clue where to start on this and anything that is written has to follow the interface as defined by the LibSoapPostCommand. Is there any sample code for this? Time is fast running out on this. What I really don't understand is why the post command is not working, I've tried this on 3.0 and I get the same problem. I reluctant to blame the RunRev code for this since it could be elsewhere. What would be really handy is a 3rd party extension that would handle the post command natively and then we could see.

More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Hi All, Please see below for the history of this problem. Since then I have some more information: I installed WireShark and recreated the problem. When I look at the captured information, it looks as if the response is being sent and received by server/client ok. It shows a number of TCP packets (TCP Segment of a reassembled PDU) and then one block that shows as HTTP/ XML. When I select this block it shows the packet reassembled as 23782 bytes. However when the error occurs, the response return by the RunRev post command only shows the first 2736 bytes, e.g. the rest of the reassembled block is truncated. I have the dumps as text files but they are too big to post here. When I looked up the post command in RunRev it says it is part of the internet library, however I can't find any source code for this. Is it available? I'd like to add some trace information so I can see if this library is being passed the whole block and if so why is it going wrong on this block. Is there another way to do this in RunRev? e.g. A alternative to the post command? Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix or even get a handle of this problem would be greatly appreciated. All the Best Dave -- I read records from a database, format them, and add them to a block of data. There is a blocking factor variable, it is set to 200, so I read 200 records from the database, block them into one big block and send it to the server via a post command. The Server then sends a response which can be variable in length, the response is in XML format. This process works well 99% of the time, but sometimes, (and this can be reproduced if the right data (or the wrong data in this case!) is present in the database). When this happens the response from the server is truncated in the middle of an XML node. As far as I can tell the difference is that by chance, a group of 200 records has caused the response to be over a certain size. If I set the BlockingFactor to 50, the problem goes away, but this causes a major slowdown. -- It is sending one block at a time, each block contains N records. There are around 10,500 records in the database. Each record has an XML node in the reply, depending on the content of the record sent, it will return different data of variable size. It appears if the block returned is greater than a certain size, it is truncated. Basically the process is: repeat for all Records in Database Read Record From Database Encode as XML Add to end of SendDataBlock if the number of records in SendDataBloack SendBlockingFactor then post SendDataBlock get response process response put empty into SendDataBlock end if end repeat ___ 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: More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Dave, I wonder if it would be worth trying to do the post using curl (or some other tool) to see if the problem still occurs? Also, have you looked at what actual bytes the truncated response ends with ie. is the server sending back something weird?

Re: More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Hi Mark, I can't figure out the correct format for the curl command, or how to call it from RunRev.

Re: More - Post Command Problem looks like a RunRev problem?
Sorry, I should have said, the library requires 2.9. How big is the data you're sending? I've had trouble putting large amounts of data on the command line (maybe a limitation of rev's 'shell' call, or something else). I was suggesting this mainly as a way fo see if it gave you any indication of what the problem might be, whether or not it would be useful in 'production'. Anyway, you could certainly try passing the soap envelope on the command line (does writing it to a file really slow it down all that much?). Anyway, you'll need to url encode the data, so something like put curl -s into tCurlStr repeat for each line L in myHttpHeaders -- if you're only setting one header, you don't need a repeat, of course. put -H ' L ' after tCurlStr end repeat put -d - quote urlencode(mySoapEnvelope) quote tUrl after tCurlStr put shell(tCurlStr) into tResponse I think libUrl only ever puts errors into the result. What the shell call returns will be either the returned data, or an error (though the result may contain something if there was an error in the shell call itself). Also, I've just realised that if you do need to write to a tempfile, the line should be: put -d @ tFile tUrl after tCurlStr Best, Mark On 17 Nov 2008, at 16:10, Dave wrote: Hi, Thanks for this.

Re: Post Command Problem
Dave As you are getting back data (even if truncated), I'm guessing that Rev (libUrl) isn't seeing any error. But just to confirm, are you checking the result after each post? The normal result for this kind of problem is socket closed before end of file. It might be useful to check that it isn't a basic problem on the server side such as setting a wrong Content-length header. You could do this by either using libUrlSetLogField to log all requests/ responses, or if you can detect programmatically when a problem has occurred, use libUrlLastRHHeaders() to get the response from the server. (You'd need to do this before the next post command) As a start, it would let us know whether the server is using Content- length, or chunked transfer encoding, or neither. (It sounds like neither) To answer your very original question, there is no limit imposed on the amount of data returned by a post command.

Re: Post Command Problem
Hi Andre, Thanks for the help. This is a weird problem, here's a bit more info: We are sending records to the server encoded as XML, this works fine 99% of the time. The app reads records from a DB and blocks this into a big block using a SendBlockingFactor. If this is set to 200, I get the problem *if* the response is over a certain (yet to be determined) size. If I reduce the blocking factor (to say 50), it works (since the response is not smaller), however this slows it down big time. I will talk to the server people today. We are using IIS and ASP.NET on the server. All the Best Dave On 11 Nov 2008, at 05:06, Andre Garzia wrote: Dave, are you using CGI or a custom server?

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.

Hi All, I'm getting a weird error when receiving data with the post command. I am receiving blocks of data from a server and some blocks seem to get truncated. Is this a limit on the size of a data block received with the post command? If there is, how can I set it bigger?

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.

For example, if a POST command had not completed within 2 seconds, can it be aborted? To check/show the status, you can use libUrlSetStatusCallback. (see the Rev docs for a very basic example). There is no official way to stop a post command. However, you could try using the following undocumented command to achieve this: ulCancelRequest url For example, ulCancelRequest http://www.somewere.com/mypost.cgi; This is an internal libUrl handler that is used by the unload url routine. The same handler can also be used to cancel get url requests. (non-blocking calls such as load url, libUrlDownloadToFile, etc can be cancelled by using unload url) However, if you use it, be aware that it may not always be available in future liburl releases (unlikely), or it may get renamed (a little more likely). So check that it still works should you upgrade the libUrl version used in your app. Cheers Dave ___ 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: Post command
Hi Alain, Le 1 mai 04, à 02:41, Alain Farmer a écrit : Hello, I need help, folks. I have been creating a MetaCard stack that submits to a server-side PHP program. The payload of the post cmd is of type text/xml and, specifically, it is the XML that an XML-RPC program expects. The above submit works fine, and the server-side program returns what it is supposed to, b-u-t ... and here's the problem ... when the content is lengthy, my client-side stack does NOT wait long enough for the whole reply, and breaks-off the HTTP connection too soon. What do I need to do to make my MC client WAIT for the server-side program to complete the transmission of its reply? Should I be using the urlStatus function? I use this kind of POST method handler without problem all the time to access server-sided Rev or MC apps trough Apache and a PHP sockets listener/port translator.

Re:Re: Norton Internet Security (NIS) and Post command failure
Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2003 00:55:04 +1000 Subject: Re: Norton Internet Security (NIS) and Post command failure From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Tariel, Can you confirm that this happens *also* with Revolution standalones, or does it just happen with MC? Also, does it only affect POST commands, or also GET? Valetia There are problems with MC access to internet with Norton Internet Security (NIS) installed on Win XP. NIS must be uninstalled, not merely turned off. Our users with windows XP and NIS installed can't send post command. Sometimes Norton asks for permission to allow MC standalone to work but then blocks it anyway. I guess I can confirm it indirectly. It affects post/get commands of MC v. 2.3.2 through 2.4.3 with latest libUrl 1.0.8b1. The same thing if we are using our own Post handler bypassing LibUrl MC v 2.3.2 engine = Rev 1.1.1 engine MC v 2.4.x - 2.5 engine = Rev v 2.0 engine Both are using same libUrl. So, logically it must affect Rev as well According to Rich Herz... The problem I've seen is: after 1st socket of session times out, 2nd socket connection attempt fails, although after wait of approx. 7 minutes with MetaCard (v. 2.4.3, libUrl 1.0.8b1) still open, a second connection can be made. I understand that this problem must be addressed to Symantec rather than to MC or Rev teams, but I posted it here in hope that somebody have a workaround to this problem that allows to disable NIS or teach it to ignore libUrl calls. I don't have computer with win XP and NIS to research this but our users with this config can't connect for sure. They tried to disable NIS but this doesn't help. Only uninstalling solves the problem Below are some extracts from user feedback I had actually disabled (or so I thought), these services. But when I went to see my processes running, I saw NISSERV.EXE. I manually removed this and a few other NIS files and renamed the *.exe files in the Norton Internet Security Directory. After this everything began to work fine -- I also discovered that after disabling and ending some of the processes, if you restart, NIS restarts the processes again and there is no way to stop it from doing that, short of a complete uninstall. It is necessary to disable NIS and turn off all NIS processes manually every time you want to use program. additionally, my copy of NIS came bundled with Norton AntiVirus, (with the computer}, so I had to disable both to truly disable NIS, leaving me with no a/v protection at all while I was online with the program. That's all I currently know about this issue Best Regards Tariel Gogoberidze ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
