returning external data

Hi all, I have the problem to return files that are held in a version management system through Zope. My momentary solution is to check out a requested file into a temp directory returning the (local) file name to which the calling request is redirected. LocalFS is doing the rest of the job (the basepath is mapped to the temp directory). I have a problem with this solution: I don't know when it is safe to delete the temporary files. I wonder if it is possible to check out files to stdout and then returning the byte stream. I have no clue how this could by done in Python. I also guess that I have to set the content type of the response appropriately and maybe the file name. But I have no idea how to do that either. So, any help and hints are welcome.

Starting Zope dies with an NT exception
by Graham Chiu 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

I just copied across a working data.fs from my server to my development notebook, and now when I access localhost:8080, or even localhost:8080/manage, then python.exe dies with an NT exception. I copied the file again a couple of times to make sure it wasn't corrupted, but the same thing happens. And it's still working fine on my server. I also tried reinstalling Zope 2.1.6 on my notebook, but no dice. I presume that there is something about my data.fs that is corrupt, but should it kill python.exe ? Anything I can do to isolate the problem further? -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin

It's www.zope.org that seems to be down (lists and classic are still around), and it's not responding _at all_, so it seems pretty major... Anyway, you can search the list archives at eGroups as well; http://www.egroups.com/messagesearch/zope?query=international finds quite a bit on international character sets, and their use with ZCatalog. hth, -- Marcus

FTP and REQUEST
by Chris Withers 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Okay, I've finally got this figured out, and it's not SiteAccess that is at fault... It's actually the Access Rule that needed adjusting to stop it breaking FTP: <dtml-in virtual_hosts> <dtml-if "_.string.lower(REQUEST.environ['HTTP_HOST'])==_.string.lower(_['sequence-item'])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.setURL(path='/')"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> works great over the web, but fails over FTP. The reason: Well, it's a bit of a "D'oh!", but an FTP REQUEST isn't going to have an 'environ' key, since it has no HTTP environment! This causes an exception, which the FTP server returns as the directory not existing... So, I've got it working, by wrapping the above in: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('environ')"> which does raise the question of what is going to be present in a REQUEST object, depending on what interface (HTTP, XML-RPC, FTP, WebDav, etc) is being used? Are there any cases where the REQUEST object doesn't exist at all? I guess this is something for the interfaces Wiki, which I would have a look at but www.zope.org seems to be down (pinging it shows this to be true...) Any idea when it's going to be back up? Cheers for the great product, sorry for any misplaced finger pointing ;-) Chris

Zope & international characters

Hi there, I don't know if this has ever asked before... I got Zcatalog on my Zope site and it runs beutifully EXCEPT that it will only find words that are in English -and 80% of my site is in Greek ! Is there a fix ? I think zope.org is down right now or for some reason I can't see it (12:30 GMT+2:00 from the ntua.gr domain ) so I can't search the docs or the archive.

Re: [Zope] Zope Eating Memory for Breakfast
by Hung Jung Lu 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

It did not go up after a second time. But I varied the search criteria, and went into several folders/subfolders, and the memory kept increasing, up to a point that it was harder to make increases. (1) So, is there a way to load up EVERYTHING? This is the only way I can be sure about the maximum memory usage. In general, if Data.fs is 10 MB, what would be the maximum RAM usage? (2) Does Zope unload things no longer in use? Or do they stay in memory ever after loaded? regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

RE: [Zope] Regarding Ads/Cookies/Users/MySql etc.

Hi, For authentication against a mysql, check out Generic User Folder or UserDB, available from the Products page at zope.org. I'm a big fan of Generic User Folder. Are you looking for a banner ads system, or a "classifieds" database? If you're wanting banner ads, take a look at Bill Anderson's BannerSystem (http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill/Products/BannerSystem) I haven't used it, but it does do weighting. hth, -- Marcus > -----Original Message----- > From: jorgen.skogstad(a)getronics.no > [mailto:jorgen.skogstad@getronics.no] > Sent: 13 April 2000 10:36 > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] Regarding Ads/Cookies/Users/MySql etc. > > > > Kindest .. > > Does anyone of you guys (and girls!) have any ideas as to how > one would go about and implement Ads databases into Zope .. but > storing them in mySql as well as combing the user athentication? .. > that is; I would like to implement this; but I need some sort of users > profiles that are interchangeable with Zope as well as mySql. > > Mmm..

Regarding Ads/Cookies/Users/MySql etc.

Kindest .. Does anyone of you guys (and girls!) have any ideas as to how one would go about and implement Ads databases into Zope .. but storing them in mySql as well as combing the user athentication? .. that is; I would like to implement this; but I need some sort of users profiles that are interchangeable with Zope as well as mySql. Mmm.. I am not that familiar with Zope yet.. so I am in the process of finding these things out; but perhaps someone out there have valuable clues as to where I could start? Kindest, Jørgen

Cascading Methodcalls
by Helmut Toplitzer 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Hi! I've got a question on which I allready spent a lot of time but got no results. I'm trying to call a DTML Method in a Folder for producing some data. If I call the method from the Parent-Folder - and this again from a Parent-Folder - I only get stupid stuff (Errors, Nothing, Information about the current folder but not about the subfolder) Is it possible to make Cascading Methodcalls in subfolder to get data out of them? Helmut
