Proposal for Documentation Wiki (WAS: Re: Witango-Talk: url tag)

2010-12-09 Thread Mikal Anderson 


  
  
Given the excellent info & suggestions on the list perhaps a
Witango documentation wiki would be an efficient & useful tool--
something akin to the PHP wiki.  

This approach if done right could take some of the pressure off
Robert so he can concentrate on bugs & features and in addition
would raise the profile of Witango on the Net.

Ted,
 
It must be big enough. One thing you can do is
execute your @URL
with MAXRESULTSIZE=1000 (10 meg should be big enough)
 
And then do: <@VARINFO method$vxml size>
which will return
the number of bytes that you received. Then I would probably
double that number
for the final value to use in maxresultsize.
 
Additionally, you can do this:
 
Let’s say that you set maxresultsize to 128000 as
you suggest.
Immediately after the @URL you can put an IF action that
will compare “128000”
and <@VARINFO vxml size>. If they are equal then you
filled the buffer
and likely do not have all the information. Now you can
error gracefully and
call this problem to your attention. You could even build a
WHILE loop that
dynamically increased maxresultsize until it was big enough,
but that’s
probably a little more than you need.

Hi,



I am trying to use the url tag to put a rss feed into variable, then parse the 
variable with dom tag to extract the elements.

 <@ASSIGN NAME="vxml" VALUE='<@URL 
LOCATION="http://feeds.feedburner.com/mnt/healthnews?format=xml";>' 
scope="method">

<@ASSIGN NAME="myDom" SCOPE="application" VALUE='<@DOM VALUE="<@VAR vxml

 The error I get is:


An error occurred while parsing the XML.
The input ended before all started tags were ended. Last tag started was 
'description'

 I have used the same code with other websites successfully.

 Seems like there a truncation occurring.  Is there a size limit for the 
@assign, the @url  or the @dom tag?

Witango-Talk: url tag

2010-12-09 Thread Ted Wolfley 
Hi,



I am trying to use the url tag to put a rss feed into variable, then
parse the variable with dom tag to extract the elements.

 <@ASSIGN NAME="vxml" VALUE='<@URL
LOCATION="http://feeds.feedburner.com/mnt/healthnews?format=xml";>'
scope="method">

<@ASSIGN NAME="myDom" SCOPE="application" VALUE='<@DOM VALUE="<@VAR vxml
SCOPE=Method>">'>

 The error I get is:


An error occurred while parsing the XML.
The input ended before all started tags were ended. Last tag started was
'description'

 I have used the same code with other websites successfully.

 Seems like there a truncation occurring.  Is there a size limit for the
@assign, the @url  or the @dom tag?
