ZServer and MSIE (long & detailed)
by Dave G 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Has anyone else experienced a problem getting Explorer to connect with Zserver? I have no problem with any version of Navigator but MSIE 3.01 and 4.0 and 4.5 for both Mac and Windows throw up an error box claiming an "error with Explorer's internet extensions has failed". Very baffling, I can connect just fine via telnet using the following requests, ZServer (medusa) returns a proper html page. Requests sent: GET / HTTP/1.0 Connection: Keep-Alive Host: www.fishwrapper.com Accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, */* GET / HTTP/1.0 accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, */* GET / HTTP/1.1 accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, */* response recieved: Status: 200 OK Content-Length: 1307 Content-Type: text/html <html><head> <base hr ef="http://chestnut.netraven.com/"> </head> blah, blah, blah..... (note the difference in the sent host and recieved host, the host arg in the start script sets the host for the ftp server, not the webserver...) I can see nothing in the responses that would cause MSIE to fail, note this has been tested from four different PC's on three different ip's, including a local connection from my Lan. Strangly enough I did a stream capture and hit my server and the startship server (also running ZServer) and the two responses differ even though the requests were from the same browser on the same connection. request for http://www.fishwrapper.com/ followed by my servers response : Send 357 bytes on stream 4. <00000000< GET / HTTP/1.0 <00000010< Connection: Keep-Alive <00000028< User-Agent: Mozilla/4.5 (Macintosh; I; PPC) <00000055< Pragma: no-cache <00000067< Host: www.fishwrapper.com <00000082< Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, <000000BF< image/png, */* <000000CF< Accept-Encoding: gzip <000000E6< Accept-Language: en <000000FB< Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 <0000011F< Cookie: sql_pref__rows="10"; sql_pref__cols="65"; dtpref_cols="9 <0000015F< 5" <00000163< Receive 1364 bytes on stream 4. >00000000> Status: 200 OK >0000000F> Content-Length: 1303 >00000024> Content-Type: text/html >0000003C> >0000003D> <html><head> blah, blah, blah..... request for http://starship.python.net/ followed by starship's response : Send 276 bytes on stream 1. <00000000< GET / HTTP/1.0 <00000010< Connection: Keep-Alive <00000028< User-Agent: Mozilla/4.5 (Macintosh; I; PPC) <00000055< Host: starship.python.net:9673 <00000075< Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, <000000B2< image/png, */* <000000C2< Accept-Encoding: gzip <000000D9< Accept-Language: en <000000EE< Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 <00000112< Receive 1254 bytes on stream 1. >00000000> HTTP/1.0 200 OK >00000011> Server: Medusa/1.4 >00000025> Content-Length: 1112 >0000003B> Content-Type: text/html >00000054> Connection: close >00000067> Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 02:24:00 GMT >0000008C> >0000008E> <HTML> >00000095> <HEAD> blah, blah, blah..... Do starships ZServer and mine differ? My http_server.py script carries RC_ID of: "v 1.4 1999/01/18 22:44:49 amos" I downloaded a fresh copy of ZServer when I grabbed the newest copy of Zope. Any clues? I've been documenting and testing everything I could think of, I'd report a bug but it seems MSIE works with the Starship server, so I think it's not a bug so much as something wrong on my end?

calling a function with arguments?
by julian＠zereau.net 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

I want to call a function I have made, with arguments. 1) is there any way to call it direct, complete with module name? It would mean getting Zope to import that module. 2) I know I can put it in an external metod and use  but it needs arguments, so I'll need to set and re-set the same DTML-namespace variable throughout the document, in which case, how do I alter/set DTML varibles from within DTML? --- Julian Morrison Programmer (Zereau Ltd)

In this case imports in the method's file work fine, but only inside Zope's search path (practically, the installation path and lib subdirectory). A good place to put your modules and packages is the lib//shared/<your company> dir. > > 2) I know I can put it in an external metod and use  but it > needs arguments, so I'll need to set and re-set the same > DTML-namespace > variable throughout the document, in which case, how do I alter/set > DTML > varibles from within DTML? > try  (the quotation marks are important) Stefan

AUTHENTICATED_USER itself is an object -- the reason  gives you the user name is that it effectively does an str() on the user object. To work with the user name directly, you can use the getUserName() method of the user object:  Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

RE: [Zope] DTML #var null= problem/patch

Thank you for pointing out how to fix this. At first, the patch didn't work with ZSQLMethods until I made a small change: 271a272,274 > #richard jone's null patch --- slightly modified by jj > elif have_arg('null') and not val: > val = args['null'] val wasn't set to None and so the null attribute never got used. Since None is false, the above should be OK.
