Web Server - Share Knowledge / Custom error-pages
« on: September 19, 2010, 05:13:56 AM »
Hello all,
as shown in Example ErrorPage (32), you make your own errorpage.
Here is a gallery of 10 nice ones:
http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-59490.html
I also like this cute one - poor server: http://www.miskatonic.net/bribbel.html
You can do, as shown in the example 32, add the HTML-construction for this errorpage into the embed, of course.
But you also could use Winevent or Stringtheory (formerly part of OddJob) to read an entire file into a variable.
That means, you can create a complete, real existing HTML page, based on your main page of this server and put some descriptive 404 text on it.
I recommend to have this customized errorpage having the main menu, so the user can easily find to some other pages of your site, without being frustrated and needing to click back.
HINT: make sure, you have this line in the HTML-header:
<base href="http://www.your-address.com">
That base makes sure, that the errorpage can be found, even if the missing of that page happened in some sub/sub/subfolder:
http://kik4.odata.de/this/page/does/not/exist/
If you have made your own errorpage, how about sharing it here?
bye

Web Server - Ask For Help / Don't know whom to blame...
« on: July 18, 2010, 06:47:33 AM »
Hello Bruce and all others,
after playing with a webserver, just modifying the picture properties of date and time on the webserver-window (below that statistics list) I recompiled the app and got 306 errors!
I have added "screenshot_doubledots.png" to this posting.
After some wild guessings, I went to the webserver extension, Buttons-tab, checkmarked all buttons, recompiled and the errors were gone.
Went back, unchecked all buttons, recompiled and again the app runs fine.
Strange behavior, just wanted you let to know.

Web Server - Ask For Help / German umlauts gone wild in EIP
« on: March 06, 2010, 02:22:59 PM »
Hello all,
in a browse with EIP the german umlauts look very wierd after the data are stored and the page is loaded a second time the other day:
Ä turns into Ä
Ö turns into ö
Ü turns into Ãœ
Datatable is TPS
This is the unchanged setting in the generated page:
No handcode, plan vanilla generated stuff.
Did I forget to do a specific setting?
Thanks for any input,
Wolfgang

Web Server - Ask For Help / Virtual URL for Downloads
« on: September 15, 2009, 09:17:45 AM »
Hello all,
is it possible to have a "virtual URL" to download a file from?
The idea is to offer a download-link, which is not really existing, sort of.
A visitor gets to a form, enters some data like a code or his name or anything alike, then he gets pointed to or gets offered a download-link, which ought to be unique for this moment.
This means, a visitor, of course, could save that URL and pass it to someone else, but it wouldn't work there. Something like www.server.com/YxPpTtGgNnUuEeWw/FILE.ZIP
The other idea is to generate a sessionvariable, like TODAY() & CLOCK(), and passing this as parameter.
And only when the parameter = sessionvariable the download starts.
This would work, but the user still could slip by and type the URL to fetch the ZIP.
Then I found p_web._SendFile( filename, header).
This can be called in a webpage where you need to be logged in, which can be achieved automatically with parameter = sessionvariable. And it works fine, as long as the file that gets sent, is a non-binary file. My ZIP is also handled as non-binary, the screen is spilled over with special characters...
Is p_web._SendFile() the appropriate method at all?
What would be better?
I hope my description was not too clumsy.
PS: p_web._SendFile( filename, header) - if filename is relative, it needs to be relative to the EXE, i.o.w. './web/file.zip'. Just for info if you plan to use it yourself.

The Rest - Ask For Help / SSL with SimpleServer - how can I be sure it works?
« on: November 28, 2008, 05:07:15 AM »
Hello all,
in the past days I have played a bit with SSL for a Webserver and it seems to work fine so far.
My intention is to use SSL also with a SimpleServer. But while HTTPS and the padlock is shown when using SSL ona webserver there seems no visible indicator to ensure me that it works.
Do I simple have to trust because if it is not SSL then it would not work at all, so if it works its secure.... or is there no possibility to proof SSL being at work?
thx
Wolfgang

The Rest - Ask For Help / D/load a file - Is this possible w/ NetSimple-Server /-Client or WebServer only?
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:31:17 AM »
Another long question for a short answer:
We have a NetSimple-Server, permanently connected with dozends of NetSimple-Clients over the internet.
Once in a while a message is sent from the server tothe clients and a window pops up. Typical messenger... but one-way from Server to Client, works flawlessly.
New demand: sometimes there will be offered a file to be downloaded (PDF)
Is this d/l-scenarion possible with this existing NetSimple-Server/Client-Combo
or
does such a download require a WEB- / FTP-Server solution instead of NetSimple-Server.
Is the existing NetSimple-Client able to download from a WebFTP-Server or is a separate WebClient necessary?
I hope I described my intention clearly and precise.
Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang

FTP - Ask For Help / .ChangeDir()
« on: August 27, 2007, 12:39:32 PM »
Hello folks,
this is from the Nettalk.tpl.
BreakInDirToQ routine
data
RLoc:y long
RLoc:z long
code
!-- This routine makes a queue out of the subdirs where to place the logfiles.
!-- This is only necessary when the directory does not exist and needs to be created.
RLoc:y = 0
loop
RLoc:z = RLoc:y + 1
RLoc:y = instring('/',%FTPGroupPar.FTPDir,1,RLoc:z)
if (RLoc:y = 0) or ((RLoc:y > instring('\',%FTPGroupPar.FTPDir,1,RLoc:z)) and instring('\',%FTPGroupPar.FTPDir,1,RLoc:z)) then
RLoc:y = instring('\',%FTPGroupPar.FTPDir,1,RLoc:z)
end
...
What makes me wonder is why there is instring('/', but later its instring('\',,
I am just curious ;-)

Web Server - Ask For Help / FORM for INSERT only - how to call such from a normal webpage?
« on: July 01, 2007, 04:40:02 AM »
Hello all,
I have a form that gets called from a normal webpage using a simple URL, its not called from a NetWebBROWSE.
The only intended action is INSERT.
How / Where do I tell this form that its task is to insert?
I suppose I do it like this:
p_web.SetSessionValue('MYFORM_CurrentAction',InsertRecord)
but if so, in what embed?
Thanks
Wolfgang
