Currently, ZServer adhers closely to the HTTP RFC by allowing only requests of the form '[METHOD] [/path] HTTP/[version]'. Proxy requests are of the form '[METHOD] [Full URL] HTTP/[version]', where [Full URL] is something like http://a.host.address/path.

Re: Fwd: Re: [Zope-dev] Performance

Hi, i write to tell you that zope can do much better but even much worser. the site www.tradinglab.com is powered by 4 netfinity and each of them is capable to handle about 150000 hits a day for a total of 600000+ hits. we use a modified kernel (see the linux virtual server pages, www.linux-vs.org) and apache+zope. the "worse" part is that the 2 biprocessor machines rate really bad when compared with the monoprocessor ones. and under a heavy load zope does much better when forced to use only 1 or 2 threads. with more threads it just lock. the problem is more evident on the 2-processor box, maybe evidentiating a deadlock problen. if you want better statistics i can post to this list the webalizer generated html pages. ciao, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog(a)mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog(a)debian.org Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM! -- Bill Gates, 1981 Windows 95 needs at least 8 MB RAM. -- Bill Gates, 1996 Nobody will ever need Windows 95. -- logical conclusion

Annoying data interference bug
by Bill Anderson 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

OK, this is getting really annoying. I am modifying the BannerFolder Product to use local and remote banners. In doing so, I added a property called link_code (string), and one called local (boolean) to the Banner object. The trick is, when the banner is rendered, it looks at local; if local is true, it builds the HTMl like normal. If local is false, it simply returns the link_url field. Easy enough, and mostly works. Mostly. However, the breakage is really, really wierd. given the following: link_url: <a href="http://www.foo.com/somepage"><img src="http://www.foo.com/adimages/?image=foo1></a> local:1 I should see the contents of link_url. What I really get is: <a href="http://www.foo.com/somepage"><img src="http://www.libc.org/hbanner/http://www.foo.com/adimages/?image=foo1></a> What in the world could be causing this? I don't do _anything_ with the contents of link_code; I only return them. I could almost understand it if it put the extra "http://www.libc.org/hbanner/" in fornt of the whole thing, but not only ion the img tag. Help? Please?

JOBS: Python/Zope positions available!
by Ty Sarna 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

Wanted: Python/Zope developers. Who are we? We're a small team within the world's largest web hosting organization (525,000 domains served). We see our mission as being a "city planning department" of sorts for the company. We plan for the growth of that community and develop the tools to make the community work through collaboration. Our flagship tool is a Python/ZPublisher based request-tracking system that currently serves about 20,000 requests per week. We use open source software heavily and like to contribute back to the community, as you've seen. We expect to do even more of this in the future. Not only will we pay you to think up neat new stuff and write it, but you can likely give it away. Our team is currently at 5 people, looking to grow to 6 or 7. Our team is headed by a developer, not a "PHB". Two of us are developers, the other three handle system administration, process consulting, training, etc. However, we all do a little bit of everything. We're looking for one strong developer, and one person with some mix of consultant/developer/admin capabilities. We strive to be a closely knit team and the nature of our work requires that we work in the same place most of the time, so relocation to the sunny Boca Raton, FL area is required. Poor you. :-) We provide Medical, Dental, 401k, bonuses and options, etc. EOE. The developer applicant should have significant Python and/or Zope experience. The following technical knowledge and skills would be beneficial (We don't expect anyone to know all or even half of this, but flexibility and willingness to learn new things, including things not on this list or which haven't been invented yet, is important. We work on a variety of projects, so adaptability and a certain jack-of-all-tradesness is a key quality): * Python * Zope * ZPublisher/Bobo (independent of Zope) * OO design skills * SQL * LDAP * XML-RPC, CORBA, or SOAP * Experience building web-based applications * HTML design * Knowledge of workflow automation principles * Threaded programming * GUI and visual design * System administration experience, especially Unix and Sybase. Knowledge of a variety of Unix-derived OSes is a plus. * Ability to write technical documentation * Javascript (especially in relation to DTML) * C (especially in relation to Python) The consultant/trainer/admin position should have have some technical skills plus strong networking skills (in the "with people" sense) and verbal and written communications skills, the ability to figure out requirements for systems (not only computer systems, but systems of people and procedures), figure out how people do, would, and should use them, explain them, document them, train people on them, figure out what works and what doesn't, and generally see the "big picture". Applicants for either position would greatly benefit from having qualities of the other. Interested? Please email privately to Phillip J. Eby <pje(a)telecommunity.com> with your resume, and more importantly with a brief description of your qualifications as relevant to the above. Also, please include your salary requirements.

Patch to allow rearranging properties via "First"
by Jeff K. Hoffman 14 Feb '00

14 Feb '00

Here is a patch I just finished to allow one to rearrange the properties of an object via the "First" mechanism present elsewhere in Zope. I have tested this, somewhat, and found no problems thus far. I would appreciate some of you trying it out and let me know if you find any issues. If not, I'll submit it to the collector and let DC decide its fate. To apply it, go to your zope directory and type 'patch -p0 < the_patch'. Enjoy! --Jeff --- Jeff K.
