How do I mimic an HTTP post from a script
by Marc Burgauer 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hi I'm sure that this question has been answered before, but searching the archive for a couple of hours, I could not find it. Yes, I'm new to python. I am using Zope 2.4 on Solaris. I need to send the input from a HTML form to a remote server as an HTTP post, but I first need to validate the inputs and convert them into an XML-formatted string. I want to do this in a python script. (I'm fine doing the XML formatting.) The "remote" post is currently of a fire-and-forget nature, but in the future might be changed to contain a response (success/failure=>post again). Cheers Marc PS: I'd be glad for recommendations of any good in depth "teaching" books on Python. I have the library references, but they are a bit brief for the un-initiated. (a convert from PHP, where I knew how to do this)

ZSyncer over HTTPS via Apache
by Ben Avery 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

hi, I'm about to put a system into production, and will continue to update the live site with ZSyncer. But I can't seem to get it to work behind an Apache 1.3.27 server running HTTPS using rewite rules. This is Zope 2.6.0, with Python 2.1.3 running on Solaris 8. When I try to sync, I get the following error: ~~~ There was a problem with that comparison. Error: * ProtocolError * <ProtocolError for 195.194.49.2:443/ZSync_Global: 404 Not Found> Things to check: * Your destination ZSyncer is where it is meant to be. * The destination server is running and accessible. * The user "" has the right to access ZSyncer. * The password for "" is correct. ~~~ it uses the same username and password as the development server, so that's not the problem. And I know that the Zsyncer server is working, as I can connect to it over HTTP, bypassing the Apache server. This won't be possible when the service is made live. Could anyone suggest what the problem is, or a solution? TIA Ben Avery

Why don't you download "Zope-2.6.1-win32-x86.exe", try to overwrite the Data.fs* of the new installation and install the Products that you're using? I made the same, but with the linux versions and it worked. I don't know about Windows, but you can try. <http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.1/Zope-2.6.x-to-2.6.1-src.tgz/view>Regards, Josef

xeon performance & GIL
by seb bacon 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hi all, I've sent this query to c.l.python without any answer yet. I wondered if anyone here can either inform me or correct me. Basically, I was wondering if SMT (hyperthreading) in a Xeon gives similar (bad) performance characteristics to SMP in CPU-bound python apps? I am hoping not, because my guess is that a context switch between hyperthreads is considerably cheaper than an intra-CPU switch. But seeing as my knowledge of this area is fairly limited, I could be entirely wrong... seb

RE: [Zope] Two Zopes, Two Domains

I may be wrong, but I >> don't believe the DNS is interested in port numbers... > Mark McEahern: > >Take a look at Z2.py's parameter list. I didn't think Zope had that much to do with it, rather that it was a DNS or OS question. Maybe my ISP has confused me, but currently, if I point a domain at an IP which is assigned to that machine, it goes to the Zope running on port 80. How can I direct one IP/domain to each Zope? Thanks, Ken

Trying to change the root of the tree using the name attribute of the dtml-tree tag
by Asad Habib 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hello. I am trying to change the root of the tree using a variable which is initialized using the REQUEST.set method. However, the root does not change and remains the default which in this case is the root folder. I have provided my code below. This code resides in a DTML method which is called when a form in a DTML document is submitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Asad <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('testFolder', REQUEST.form['folderName'])"> <dtml-tree branches_expr="objectValues('Folder')" name="testFolder" skip_unauthorized> <dtml-var getId> </dtml-tree> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

re: Zope restore
by Dapo Ladimeji 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

I am a Zope newbie and have just ordered a managed server to run a web-journal on Zope. I recently had a little bother on my development machine and had to do a clean reinstall of the operating system. No, no, no! I did have a full backup :-). However I would appreciate some help on how to restore the data files i.e. where are they? And also any tips on what to avoid i.e. should I overwrite or simply add the data files to an existing folder etc. Many thanks Dapo
