Re: Websockets ... again.

LC just provides raw sockets. You can implement a TLS equivalent with a bit of elbow grease. Writing your own protocol gives a lot of control. TLS is something you may have to use to check boxes. Out of curiosity is there a market for something like this within the community? Sent from my iPho

Re: LC Date Conversions post 2035

Thanks for the quick responses. In this case I did indeed use a 4 digit year as initial input (always), but still managed to shoot myself with a second conversion step. Converted my nicely formed input text to dateitems -- all good. Did my addition for renewal days to item 3. Check. Then I con

I was testing one of the tools I use to handle licensing today and decided to run the series through a few iterations adding 2 years at a time. I noticed that my dates were reverting to the 20th c. Hmm, whoops. After a bit of head scratching I decided it wasn't just my doing. Date conversion so

Re: RANT (Mild): revZIP library

Have you considered chunking the problem up and using compress v revZip library? I ran into something similar when I wanted to keep memory down for encrypting/decrypting multi-gig log files…got a lot of advice about just using shell—but for the same sorts of reasons as you I wanted to do things

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 224, Issue 9, Re: Decrypting (and encrypting) Large files

Why the preference? It’s not a hard and fast rule by any means, but I suppose because rolling your own means owning your code, flaws and all. In simple system environments I wouldn’t use LC at all, I’d just use shell scripting. Since different users will have different shells (or none) probably

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 224, Issue 8

Thanks Tom, Mike and Craig. Sorry for the late response, I’m on the digest version. My thought was that an open file for read does not require placing the whole file into memory. Am I mistaken in that assumption? Seems like it would be nice to not use all of the available memory to run the decr

Decrypting (and encrypting) Large files

Wondering if anyone has used LiveCode for encrypting-decrypting large files? The docs typically have nice examples for files that can fit into a variable, but what are folks doing for big files that are larger than what you’d want in a variable? I’m thinking about using LC for decrypting zip com

com.livecode.library.aws under Linux (Ubuntu)

Sorry for the rookie question. I have been using the AWSS3 command with the alternate library to allow using any S3 endpoint. So far I’ve just run it on the Mac and it’s all good. On Linux, I don't know where the files from com.livecode.brary.aws should be placed (vs inside the app bundle). R

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 211, Issue 27 (AWSS3 in standalone)

Thanks Tom—I am using it within the dev envionment and it’s a godsend, for sure:) Much better than calling s3cmd or mc client from shell. But my problem (and it must be mine, lol) is that the same stack that runs well within the development environment fails when I save it as a standalone. So

Re: AWSS3 Redux

The new ability to add an arbitrary S3 endpoint is pretty handy. Since I don’t think it’s made its way into an RC just yet, I was wondering if anyone has built a standalone with that feature enabled. So far my attempts have failed. Is there a knob to turn that I should know, but don’t? I have t

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 210, Issue 2

Hey Tom, the email I wrote about potential “integration" is almost five years old and things change. Primarily I think just a base set of S3 compatible (vs AWS hard coded) connectivity would be more than enough. It’s pretty trivial to use minio (or any compatible s3 object store) in conjunction

Thanks for the tip. I did file a request but it lists as a bug not an enhancement. Maybe I did something wrong, sorry about that. Posted as # 22919 I think it is mostly just allowing a selectable host IP or FQDN. Many third party object stores with S3 compatibility also default to Region: us-east

Livecode S3 library for AWS compatible object store

Hello, I have been away from LC for a while and noticed that there is now an AWSS3 library. Looks great and simple. However, this seems from a cursory read to be actually tied to AWS vs a more generic S3 wrapper allowing arbitrary endpoints. Is there a mechanism to point this at S3 compatible st

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 158, Issue 48

You might consider serving your video files from an S3 compatible object server in order to generate pre-signed URLs. I use minio, it’s free open source and very simple to configure. The micro service version is a small binary that works on a standard host using a file system backend. Pre-signe
