[web2py] Help about the restful api
Hi, I have some difficulties on using @resquest.restful(). I want to do some experiments using GET, POST, PUSH and DELETE, but i can not make it work. Only GET works for me. How can i do for example a def POST(name): ?? I did this: def POST(name): return db.blog.validate_and_insert(name = name) cumps, Tiago
Re: [web2py] Re: New importer in trunk
Use it like a helper.
in a module I have:
(this fail because LOAD is not passed in current and loadfactory need
enviroment)
def renderimages(self, page=1, postid=0):curvars = {}
curvars['page']=pagecurvars['postid']=postid
return LOAD('plugin_i2padmin', 'imageslist.load',
vars=curvars, ajax=True)
in a view:
{{=current.myapp.mymodule.renderimages(page,postid)}}
I know you are going to say use directly the load in a view, but sometimes
the things get more complex than this example.

What do you want to do exactly with LOAD in modules?

the
speed from the old way putting all in models (I have many models). So I'm
waiting to be stable. Also I'm waiting an answer on how can I use the

It would be nice to have feedback to know if the new feature is
working well for you. Tell me if everything is OK or not.

Re: [web2py] Post Data Obfuscation
2011/5/18 luckysmack luckysm...@gmail.com: I recently listened to a podcast from a HOPE conference last year, and the podcast talked about post data obfuscation. Where when the post data is submitted it is obfuscated by javascript and a false copy is passed through POST and a real copy is sent to the server. it also send a special key that is encrypted and the server only knows the real key. So if the hacker find out the POST data is obfuscated and tries to do the same, the server will know whether its the real copy or not. I was curious if web2py (or really python in general, that i could plug into web2py) had any kind of feature like this. I figured it might not, So my second part of the question is if anyone knows of a way to do this in python that I can use with web2py. In the end if I can get this to work I would be willing to submit my code for others to use so we can all benefit. So for eaither method, i was looking if anyone had something to help me get started. Heres the podcast (mp3) in questioned I listened to: http://c2047862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/tnhb05.mp3 which is from this site (they have some other great talks about web as well. though most are generally security and hackerish related) http://thenexthope.org/talks-list/ Running the application over https you get the same benefit when using Post (supposing the hacker access to the posted data using a network sniffer)
[web2py] Re: recommendations for production system?
I use vps.net with apache and firebird DB, but when the server was under higher loads it used to easily jam and require reboot. I now do this: 1 node: Firebird DB server 2 nodes: Apache It is no longer a 'cheap' set-up, but it is the most reliable we ever had and I can effectively run as many domains as I want. It seems very robust indeed. I tried the various control panels, but they always cost me more time than simply logging in and doing things manually. The point is that when your backups and cron scripts are working ok, the server requires hardly any management at all. For me, root access is much easier from a server management point of view, but make sure you have a full strength password and always change sshd from port 22! Of course if you need high-security, you should not use root - there are just too many bots out there!

[web2py] Re: recommendations for production system?
On a quick side note, you are not supposed to use Webmin with Ubuntu. It is mentioned in several places that it breaks Debian-based systems. Ubutnu has been pushing eBox (now Zentyal) which is more for setting up a small business infrastructure than managing a web server. As is mentioned, managing Apache (or whatever you intend to use) yourself is the best way, even though it's not the easiest or the most convenient.

[web2py] Re: recommendations for production system?
Hi, Thank you all for your comments and recommendations. Based on your feedback, I'm leaning towards using Nginx (instead of Apache) for all static and dynamic content. One question: is the following script up-to-date with everything I need to setup web2py with nginx?: http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh I am planning on using 'root' as well, but I will follow your advice about picking a strong password and changing the default 22 port - would this be enough?. I would also want to be able to edit my application files (models, controllers, views) remotely from my Windows environment (via sftp?), just in case of emergencies, and hopefully use the same ide (wing) as my development environment - is this possible via any of the following options?: http://www.expandrive.com http://www.swish-sftp.org http://cyberduck.ch http://winscp.net http://us3.samba.org http://dokan-dev.net/en http://www.webdrive.com/products/webdrive ... or do you recommend another file manager client from Windows to the remote ubuntu server (with capabilities for editing in wing ide)?. Furthermore, what scripts (fabric?) should I actually have in place in order to be fully ready?. Btw I will be using mercurial: - for development, pushing to bitbucket for my own remote repository, in addition to a 2nd. respository for web2py, - for production, with two respositories, one pulling from https://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/web2py and another one pulling from my bitbucket remote repository.

[web2py] Re: recommendations for production system?
Sounds like you are going in the right direction. That Nginx setup scripts looks OK at a glance. If you are already using version control, I would suggest avoiding editing files directly on your server. Instead, edit locally, push to Bitbucket and then pull from your server. It sounds tedious but it's pretty fast and ultimately a better procedure. This is where you might consider Fabric. You could very easily set it up to log in to your server and issue the hg pull; hg update commands. From your command like you just type fab production update where production is a description of your production environment and update is python function in your fabfile.

Hi Carlos I will follow your advice about picking a strong password and changing the default 22 port - would this be enough?. Well, is there ever enough security?

It still does not feel good to log on as root, but that is my trade-off for convenience. You will have to make your own judgements.

I created this controller named api, as seen in you video.

def POST(name, description):

db.place[place].update_record(name = name)
return dict()
#delete place by name
def DELETE(name):
del db.place(name)
return dict()
return locals()
when i call in url localhost/appname/api/place/1, it only makes the GET
method for the id=1 of the place, and then for the POST method i did this
script on the default controler:
def post():
import urllib
import urllib2
api_params = {
'name': request.args(0),
'description' : request.args(1),
}
http_response = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/api/place',
urllib.urlencode(api_params))
return http_response
I put this: http://localhost/appname/post/name_example/description_example
and it add another place with that name and that description.
And this script work perfectly. But i can not find any support for the
DELETE and PUSH methods. I think i will have to do another script, but i can
not find support about that on the web.

This is the original source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebMin and here's a bug report about it: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2873 These two are a bit old now, so I don't know if things have changed, but merely mentioning the word webmin in the Ubuntu forums a couple years ago meant you got a quick, terse reply about how webmin is bad for ubuntu systems and you shouldn't use it. Just scanning the latest entries on the forums tagged with webmin, it doesn't seem like it still has the bad reputation it once did. My own personal experience it with it a couple years was terrible. It destroyed several systems that needed to be rebuilt because webmin messed them up so bad. But again, I don't know if this has changed or not.
[web2py] Changing columns for TEXTAREA
I thought this might have gotten lost in the philosophical discussions
about line breaks, so figured I'd post it as a separate thread:
Using the advice given in a previous post, I'm doing this to try to
change the rows and columns for a TEXTAREA:
form=SQLFORM(db.contest,record=contest,submit_button=T(Save
Changes),fields=[name,description],_style='width:100%')
form.element('textarea')['_rows']=30
form.element('textarea')['_cols']=80
This works, in that the HTML output does have cols=80 and rows=30.
And the number of rows does change appropriately.
However, the number of columns displayed for the textarea does not
change, despite the HTML having the right value.
Is there something else that could be overriding the number of
columns? Something in Javascript perhaps?

[web2py] Re: Export result set to PDF file
I haven't tried it, bu there's a 'generic.pdf' view template. Looks like it takes the HTML inside the 'content' div of a rendered HTML template and converts it to markmin and then to PDF. So, maybe try: def export_PDF(): results=db().select() return dict(results=results) Then define an 'export_PDF.html' view to render the results in HTML, and when you go to /app/controller/export_PDF.pdf, the generic PDF view should convert the HTML view into a PDF. I think your HTML view will either have to extend the default 'layout.html', or make sure the results go inside a div with id=content for generic.pdf to work -- otherwise, you could create your own custom export_PDF.pdf view based on generic.pdf.

[web2py] Re: recommendations for production system?
Hi Ross, Thanks for the links. I have seen mixed reports, certainly in the more distant past, but as I said my experience since Hardy (8.04) has been very good. On May 18, 5:03 pm, Ross Peoples ross.peop...@gmail.com wrote: My own personal experience it with it a couple years was terrible. It destroyed several systems that needed to be rebuilt because webmin messed them up so bad. But again, I don't know if this has changed or not. Well, from my PoV it has! A couple of cautions though: - - Webmin/Virtualmin need a clean, freshly installed system as a starting point. If there is any configuration work done before installing them, I'd expect problems. - When I started out with my production hosting I had very limited linux-fu, and needed to use Webmin/Virtualmin to work safely (e.g. I was a bigger risk than they were!), and so I set things up to do everything apart from my narrow specialty (then the care and feeding of Zope and Plone) using the web interface, and have been very conservative about changing that. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in the same predicament as I was a couple of years back (an application developer with limited Linux sysadmin skills), but since you are effectively delegating your sysadmin load to that s/w in that case, it's important to be careful and test your understanding of what you can do by hand. In my case, there is an additional apache .conf file where all my Zope, Plone and web2py config lives, and that is pretty much the only thing I manage by hand, other than my Zope/Plone instances which I install to /opt and Webmin leaves well alone. My suggestion to the OP would be to fire up a VM and test the alternatives - but I'd include Webmin as one of those alternatives. HTH! -- Cheers, PhilK

OK, I will answer my own question first...
In your controller:
import os
def index():
context=dict(first_name='Bob is',last_name='your uncle')
template = test_template_path =
os.path.join(current_app,'static','template_test')
test_content = response.render(template,context)
destination =
os.path.join(current_app,'static','template_test_target')
with open(destination, 'w') as f:
f.write(test_content)
exit_message = f.closed
return dict(message=exit_message)
Template contents:
(called template_test in the above example)
{{=first_name}}
{{=last_name}}
Controller output
(Indicates the exit status of your write)
True # hopefully
Output file content:
(the called template_test_target in this example)
Bob is
Your Uncle

In the plugin_plugin's static directory you will find the templates
used to create new plugins. At this writing templates have been
created to make skeletal plugin menu, controller and about text.
Others will probably be added over time.
What would the controller function contain to get a user variable and

templating in this applicaiton if it is practical and makes sense, it
would be nice to have no dependencies if possible.

That would have to depend at what level you need to do that integration. For example, starting web2py from your application is very easy, you can just run the script to start the server. When I have to integrate with something, I like to actually just create a communication layer between them.

[web2py] Re: Post Data Obfuscation
I would also have to say that SSL is an industry standard, even by government and payment card processing standards. I have to keep a Ubuntu web server up to the latest PCI (payment card industry) tests since we process credit cards internally. The test runs quarterly and emails me a report of any vulnerabilities found. It has never found a problem with SSL (unless you are using an old version). If there really is a program out there that can get past a properly configured HTTPS server, then the Internet as we know it would not exist. There would be no online banking, no government sites, no Amazon, no eBay, etc. Remember that Sony's PSN network was taken down because it wasn't using any security at all, and running an unpatched version of Apache. On another note, the only way obfuscate the data, would be to have an encryption implementation in JavaScript, and a matching version in Python to transmit the data over the wire. In this case, all a hacker would have to do is read your JavaScript code, which is just a right-click - view source away. So you gain nothing by trying to obfuscate the data, which is exactly why HTTPS and SSL exist, because the security experts know that security is NOT obfuscation.

I agree with majority of sentiments above.

In this case, all a hacker would have to do is read your JavaScript code, which is just a right-click - view source away. So you gain nothing by trying to obfuscate the data, which is exactly why HTTPS and SSL exist, because the security experts know that security is NOT obfuscation. If I was actually implementing encryption (not obfuscation, the two terms are used interchangeably above) I would use an asymmetric key algorithm, thus assuming we had man in the middle, even being able to view our javascript, public key encrypted text would provide no method of identifying original data. All this being said, I don't believe I would use javascript as an integral part of my website security architecture. :) PS: If you really do care, a quick web search identifies multiple des/aes javascript implementations.

Why does the width when specified in one .css file force the textarea to that width, and the width specified in another (base.css) not? Anyway, that question is mostly rhetorical...I can adjust the columns of my textareas now, so I'm happy. Thanks for the pointer to the .css files.

Invariably, everyone seems to have a problem with their hosting provider at some point. Heck, even Amazon went down for over a day recently! I don't have experience hosting on Linode but I can say that their knowledge base is by far the best which I think speaks very well for them. And from what I've heard, Linode is a solid provider. I am currently on RackSpace cloud which is a hair more expensive but has been great so far. Their servers are in Dallas mostly if that matters.

[web2py] Static file caching problem?
Host is Ubuntu 10.04, web2py is 1.95.1 I use Firefox 3.6.17 from the Ubuntu distribution Added the Firebug plugin. Running on the rocket built in server port 8000 if I enable the Net tab of Firebug Clicking around on the application buttons all the static CSS and Javascript resources such as jQuery and jQueryUI and anything else the response loads is always 200 OK and the CSS and Javascript is downloaded. Even pushing the same top level menu item twice in a row yields the same load every time. If I hit the refresh button in the browser toolbar then the response for the CSS and Javascript files is 304 Not Modified. Images are not affected and only show up as 304 Not Modified responses. I then went to the Apache WSGI installation running on port 80 and get the same result. This could be a serious drag on performance depending on the network connection. I probably didn't notice because the browser and server are on the same machine for development work. The files that avoid caching are the ones added to the response.files collection in the view from what I have seen so far. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, Ron
[web2py] Re: Logging of user actions
Not sure exactly what you need but, yes, I think it's kind of rare. Maybe this will work for you: by default, Web2py creates an auth_event table and automatically records a bunch of actions like register, login, etc. You can add your own actions with this one-liner: auth.log_event(description='this happened', origin='auth') Both description and origin can be anything I believe.

[web2py] How to pass image into new SQLFORM
I am trying to program the ability to create a new record that defaults to a
copy of an existing record. The records include an image that I would also
like to use but can't seem to figure out how to pass it in to the SQLFORM.
For editing records, I do this which works fine:
form = SQLFORM(db.item, item, upload=(URL('static', 'uploads')))
For the other input fields, i'm just doing something simple like this:
form.vars.title = ref_item.title
I'd like to do something like:
form.vars.image = ref_item.image
Or something like this (without item since it's a new record):
form = SQLFORM(db.item, upload=(URL('static', 'uploads')))
Also, I have a compute field to generate a thumbnail.
Has anyone done anything like this?
[web2py] Re: How to pass image into new SQLFORM
I ended up bypassing the built-in functionality and instead: 1) when copying pass an image to view 2) in view, if an image field is passed, display it (the form is customized) 3) in form.accepts, if copying another record, do a record.update_record(image = ref.image) I currently don't have a way to delete the image so I'll need to code that.

X-Powered-By: web2py So it will be easy to create a www.isitweb2py.com service -- Bruno Rocha [ About me: http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno ] On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 1:19 AM, pbreit pbreitenb...@gmail.com wrote: I just found this neat little load testing service that has a decent free tier: http://blitz.io/gclFk7822pd0W Disclaimer: the invite link gets me additional testing capacity. But I do think the service would be of interest to this group.

Re: [web2py] Re: GAE for Dummies
Thanks for your reply, I have double checked the app.yaml and the app name matches exactly that of the application in web2py I will just check that the softlinks appear correct as per the slice(again) On 18/05/11 23:09, howesc wrote: i have never seen this error myself, but it seems like perhaps a type in your app.yaml file? --
Re: [web2py] recommendations for production system?
I strongly recommend Linode http://bit.ly/linodelinode I am runnning a VPS (2048) on Linode and it is amazing, simple, fast and a helpful support. You can choose a DataCenter when creating a new Node, I read that is best to choose London - UK -- Bruno Rocha [ About me: http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno ] On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 7:54 PM, Carlos carlosgali...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, In order to prepare my web2py production system, I would really welcome all your advice. I will get one node from vps.net: http://vps.net/product/cloud-servers dedicated cpu = 0.6 GHz dedicated ram = 376 MB disk space = 10 GB network transfer = 250 GB I am planning to install the following software: os = ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) x64 basic installation web = apache2 db = postgresql sh = http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh Is the above the recommended configuration (based on my one node capacity @ vps.net)?. I've read that nginx web server is really good, should I reconsider this?, instead or in addition to apache?. Would you recommend a different configuration if I eventually add more nodes/capacity?. Any other software?, e.g. web server control panels?. - isp manager - webmin - virtualmin - landscape Thanks in advance for all your recommendations. p.s. my experience has been mostly with Windows.
