Of work you've performed over the last year, what percentage has been
related to the Web?
90%. Heck, 95% could probably be tracked back there by a couple degrees of
separation.
Does your work focus more on the client side of the Web, the server side, or
both?
Server side.. Most of my time is
And this principle will work on a Mac server ? (Thanks for the offer of
code. I'll contact you off list.)
Yup, if you work with sockets you should have no problem with any platform
Metacard supports. I'm currently working with it on a Mac myself. You could
also use AppleEvents on Mac, and

You will need to work with sockets to duplicate Flamethrower's functionality.
I've ported a large Flamethrower project to Metacard with little trouble. I
started with the httpd server stack (available at Metacard's site), became
familiar with sockets, and then rewrote all of the cgi_X()
It's really easy to get all the columns of a particular row ("get line
200"), but is there some way to effectively turn this on it's side, to
effectively say something like "get column 3"?
The ol' Nairn X's collection of Hypercard decent has an XFCN for extracting
text from a column. Of course,
FWIW, I believe I have had this problem with XCMDs in Metacard before too. I
don't have anything reproducable handy, but I believe the symptom was the
same- occasionally adding garbage onto the end of the return value from the
XCMD. I think it only affects certain XCMDs (thus I haven't seen it
t's in the realm of
education =).

Hello all,
I'm experiencing some behavior which I'm not sure what to make of.
Occasionally when my Metacard server stack encounters a scripting error while
fulfilling a request, it seems to get permanently "stuck" with open sockets.
When I check the opensockets(), I will get something like:
The current socketTimeoutInterval is applied at each operation on a
socket. So you could open the socket, do a write, set the
socketTimeoutInterval to a different value and then do a read, and the
read will only send the socketTimeout message after that different
(longer?) interval.
Perfect.

In educating myself about ODBC, I am becoming doubtful about this working
with just Metacard sockets. I *think* what I have ascertained is that each
ODBC database (Oracle, Sybase, etc) uses it's own proprietary network
protocol which is all hidden within their ODBC drivers. What
Hi all,
Recently it was pondered whether Metacard could connect to ODBC databases via
sockets, which would be a killer thing to have.
I've done some hunting but I can't seem to find any worthwhile docs on ODBC
that would give me some insight on this. Has anyone had any more luck than
me? I'd
Jacque,
Hopefully these will help...
The following scripts work well for me in local one-machine tests. They
require two stacks: a metacard "server" stack and the client stack. You will,
of course, need to replace the "1.1.1.1" with your actual IP/domain name...
In the server, I put:
on
Well, you deserve the credit on that... I wish I had about a month to do
nothing but play with all of the sockets programming that I never wanted to
deal with in C.

1. The XCMD / DLL must be substantially larger than 32K. So, at least
for Macintosh, I have to create an XCMD that loads the larger block of
code into memory and then calls it. Also, perhaps it is best to leave
the loaded code resident in memory until MetaCard quits (or my MetaCard

Wy do you want to use cookies ? It's, always, more elegant and clean to
store the clients environmental variables in hidden fields, formated and
sent with the form file requered by each client... You will then be able
to catch the hidden data when the client will post his next request.

However, I'm not so sure about replying with cookies. Has anyone written
anything using cookies, or know of a good reference? It's easy enough to
figure out how to parse them out of a request, but replying is voodoo to me.
Thanks,

Give me a little example maybe I have an idea...People call cookies many
things.
What I am referring to are client-side cookies stored with the client's
browser. They are assigned to a domain and given an expiration date. Whenever
the client browses to that domain, they are sent in the HTTP
, and have compiled with only the following libraries:
InterfaceLib
MSL C.PPC.Lib
MSL RuntimePPC.Lib
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? I can't seem to get to the
bottom of this one.
Thanks,
