User Folder default behavior
by Charlie Reiman 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

I just noticed the default option for the stock User Folder is to not encrypt passwords. Why? Shouldn't any web server that gets exposed to the real world error on the side more security and less convenience?

Check the bindings. If you need access to the DTML namespace, you must explicitly set it to be '_' as the default is None.

You aren't using anything weird like transparent folders are you?

dtml access to "container" within zclass
by Ra 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

hi all, is there any way to gain access to an instance of a zclass from a dtml method that is within that zclass? in a python script, this is exposed as the "container" variable (assuming the binding is set, of course), but in a dtml method i can't figure out how to make it happen. specifically, i have a dtml method called "detail_html" and a python script called "detail", both in a zclass that does NOT actually live in the zope object file system (it's a loginmanager user object). i'd like to have the detail_html method work like this: <dtml-with "detail()"> ... ... </dtml-with> such that the detail python script returns a namespace which populates the dtml method. nothing i do seems to work, though... "detail" doesn't exist in the global namespace, nor in "_". my workaround is to have the python script call the dtml method and then return it, like so: ... ... return container.detail_html(context, subdict) where "subdict" is a dictionary of values that are then exposed in the dtml method's namespace. this works, but it's less than ideal, because it needlessly obfuscates the code, IMO. i don't want my front-end designers to have to be digging through complicated python code to figure out which dtml methods are being used... i'd much rather have them just see the dtml code, which would quietly suck in the data from the python script using <dtml-with>. am i missing something obvious? -r

Gripe of the day: "Undefined" error in page templates

I really, *really* wish that referring to an undefined name in a page template would tell you WHAT is undefined. this is on zope 2.5.1... -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"

Add File much slower than FTP, by at least 20 times
by David Elfstrom 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

Hi, I did some timing of a 1.5MB PDF file to two installs of Zope, one on a local desktop and one on a remote site over a network. Situation A: Zope 2.5.1/Windows on Windows 2000, locally Browsers: Mozilla & IE6 on Windows Situation B: Zope 2.5.1/Solaris on a remote Solaris 2.6 box over a 10Mbit connection Browsers: Mozilla & IE6 on Windows If I FTP to the zope server on port 8021, I can put the 1.5MB file in Zope very quickly. Situation A: 0.8 seconds (approx) Situation B: 1.5 seconds But if I use the "Add" button from the management interface, using either Mozilla or IE6, it takes the following times: Situation A: 35 seconds Situation B: 2 minutes 30 seconds. Remember, this is only a 1.5MB file, transferred locally! How could we speed up uploads when initiated through the web? Where is the bottleneck occurring -- is it in the HTTP transfer?

Apache/Zope File Upload Problems
by Chris A. Bruce 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

I am hoping that someone knows how to fix this, but I have Apache redirecting to Zope. On large html file uploads, the upload seems to fail. It responds with document not found. I am assuming there is some kind of timeout happening. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this or if there are any specific settings in Apache or Zope that I should have a look at? Thanks, Chris
