Zope 2.5.0 Sessions & Testing
by Chris Withers 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

Hi, Trying to test a URL in a unittest.py test using code as follows: apply(Site.restrictedTraverse('/folder/cmfsite/skinmethod'),params) Now, skinmethod uses the new Zope 2.5.0 sessioning: session=context.REQUEST.SESSION session.set('key','value') but the BeforeTraversal hook doesn't seem to kick in when restrictedTraverse is used :-( We always get an AttributeError on SESSION. How should we fix this and go about testing this method properly? cheers, Chris

asyncore.py & Broken-Pipe error
by Dirk Datzert 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

Hi, I knew that sometimes ZServer stopps working with the error OS-error Broken-Pipe in the log-file. And I knew that this is fixed in Zope 2.5b with a change of asyncore.py I need a working asyncore.py for my 2.4.3 Zope. Can anybody sent me a working version ?

PDF-specific Bug in the ZServer implementation??? Or just strange behavoiur of IE?
by Joachim Werner 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi! This is my first post in the new year, so best wishes for 2002 from Germany! And on we go with my problem: I have a ZClass-based Class derived from File. It holds PDF documents. SOME (not all) of them do not auto-open in Acrobat Reader as they are supposed to if MS IE 5.x is used. Opera etc. seem to work. The files themselves are o.k., and opening in Acrobat Reader AFTER downloading (via right mouseclick/save as) works fine, too. If the same document that doesn't auto-open when downloaded fom the Zope server is downloaded from plain Apache, it works ... The configuration is Zope 2.4.1 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.0, linux2 on a SuSE Linux with Apache as Proxy server (via proxy_pass). I checked the HTTP header with WGET, and they are identical for working and non-working PDF docs. The mime type is set to application/pdf ... Any hints on that? Joachim

Hi! Just to answer my own question and complete the mail archive: If you have problems with downloads that make use of the HTTP range functionality (e.g. with the latest Acrobat Reader in MS IE), Zope 2.5 fixes the problem (for me).

Re: [Zope] [Bug] "bobobase_modification_time" unreliable to catalog
by Casey Duncan 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

This behavior is logical if unintuitive. I propose that we can kill two birds with one stone to fix this: - Add a new method perhaps: getModificationTime() to the API of SimpleItem or even Persistent that returns the ZODB modification time or if the object has been changed, but not yet commited, the current date/time. - Deprecate bobobase_mod_time and perhaps even omit it entirely from Zope3. This will fix the aforementioned bug and get rid of an API anachronism.

RE: [Zope-dev] PDF-specific Bug in the ZServer implementation??? Or just strange behavoiur of IE?

Acrobat uses something called byte-serving, which is a pain to support sometimes on the server-side, because it essentially amounts to serving parts of a file up to a given byte offset; when Acrobat acts as an HTTP client, it requests the PDF file, and once it has enough of the top of the doc to get header info from the file, it is able to omit downloading the whole thing and request portions of the file between 2 byte offsets, which represent the start and end of a page, as part of the http request. Byte-serving, unfortunately is not implemented in all http servers (or is broken in some, i.e. Apache 1.3.14). I'm not sure what the story for ZServer is, but I am curious to find out if there have been any developments in this regard... More info in the IETF RFC for HTTP 1.1: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.12 Sean -----Original Message----- From: Joachim Werner [mailto:joe@iuveno-net.de] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 12:28 PM To: zope-dev(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope-dev] PDF-specific Bug in the ZServer implementation???

Testers needed for z2.py security patch
by Matt Behrens 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

I've made a security patch for Zope 2.5.0b3 that addresses the setuid startup issues on UNIX and plan to backport it to 2.4.4 (?) and 2.3.3 once I get some positive reports. Only UNIX users need apply this patch. Windows may well have similar issues but I have no clue how to fix them. Please check it out and let me know how it works on your system, or if any clarifications are needed.

[Fwd: Does anyone know how to suppress display of +/- signs on a dtml-tree?]
by Craeg K. Strong 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

I would like to answer my own question (see below). According to ZOPE/lib/python/TreeDisplay/TreeTag.py, there is no way to suppress the display of the + or - signs. However, there certain parameters to __init__ that have been commented out: # opened_decoration = None, # closed_decoration = None, # childless_decoration = None, which suggests that either there was a way to control this at one time, or that it is functionality that is planned for the future. What is the plan for this in Zope 2.5? I could prepare a quickie patch if you guys don't have the time. Please advise, thanks! --Craeg ] I want to display a dtml-tree always expanded, with no controls visible ] for contracting (basically, an indented list of links). ] I set the tree to always expand via the following: ] <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('expand_all', 1)"> ] <dtml-tree single=0 name="catalog" branches="objectValues"> ] But I can't figure out how to remove the little minus signs (-) from the ] branches. ] Has anyone done this? ] TIA, ] --Craeg

Delete or move - who can tell?
by Tom Bech 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi! Is there really no way for an object to know wether a call to manage_beforeDelete is the result of a delete or a move operation? I've tried to override _notifyOfCopyTo and setting an internal variable based on the op parameter, but alas it's not called when moving the parent... I have another class of objects which must not be cloned (sitewide unique) and I have overridden _CanCopy to avoid this, but again it's simply ignored when the parent is cloned... Any suggestions? Tom
