Internationalization with Tcl versions prior to 8.0 is a perplexing problem, but not impossible. First of all, as you've probably noticed, the Latin character sets (Latin-1 thru Latin-9) work just fine, since Tcl and the database drivers for AOLserver are eight-bit clean. The usual rules about null-terminated strings still apply, but from what I have found about the Latin character sets, the nulls are always just that, nulls. If you would like to use Unicode, however, you have a different problem. Unicode provides the capacity for tens of thousands of characters in a two-byte format. A newer standard yet to be named by ISO will provide for four-byte formatted characters. Unfortunately, the Unicode standards allow nulls to be present in either of the two octets. To add insult to injury, the Unicode map for ASCII is the same as regular ASCII, but each character is preceded by a NULL. This poses a serious problem for string functions provided by the C libraries, which are the same string functions that Tcl 7.x and earlier use. This means, of course, if you come across a character that includes an octet that has the value of 0x00, Tcl will terminate the string at that point and you've just lost a lot of data. Egads! The present solution for, say, Japanese, is to use a non-Unicode encoding, such as S-JIS. S-JIS does not allow either of the two octets to be either NULL's or EOF's (0x00 or 0x0FF). Obviously, the designers of the various JIS standards knew that embedded nulls pose serious data loss problems in the C libraries of the day. This idea seems to have been lost on the Unicode developers, although Unicode Kanji maps as closely to JIS 212 as it can. Since Unicode has such a large area of "user-defined" characters in its character map, it would appear to me that the Unicode consortium could have limitted the use of embedded nulls and eof's inside character words, but such is not the case. Bummer.. Therefore, to use Unicode within Tcl (and by extension AOLserver) without fear of losing data, you need to translate the incoming post data and outgoing HTML to/from an eight-bit clean encoding such as "UTF-8," which just happens to be an encoding designed for just this purpose. Of course, if you have static HTML pages, the server will serve Unicode without any problem. The UTF-8 encoding can cause your characters to increase from the normal two octets to a maximum of six, with four being the average size, so Unicode data, which is already twice as large as ASCII data, becomes internally represented as 4 to 5 times as much data. The other choice is not to use Unicode and use one of the eight-bit clean encodings, which are most prevalent on the web today (such as S-JIS for Japanese, and the Latin-x formats for Latin-based scripts). Right now, only Netscape 4 and MSIE 4 can speak Unicode, and you will be very hard pressed to find *any* Unicode web sites. Perhaps in a couple of years Unicode will become more prevalent, but just about all web sites in use today are using one of the many eight-bit encodings for large character sets (for Japanese, these are most notably S-JIS, JIS and EUC). In fact, my quest for a Unicode-based web site that's *not* a Unicode "demo" site still goes on. I hope this helps you out, Kris Rehberg (my opinions are mine alone) -- Kriston J.

Unless you turn caching on explicitly, the server isn't going to be caching your result, so it must be the browser that's caching your stuff. In this case, it's probably the ADP's "Last-Modified-Time" that's causing your browser to cache the result and you'll want to explicitly set the expires time in the adp: <% ns_setexpires $conn 0 %> doug ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 Oct 1997 21:27:52 -0500 Reply-To: Web Development with AOLserver Sender: Web Development with AOLserver From: TASKEROV Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear GNN developers and users.

Perhaps more interesting is that we have finished integrating the AOLserver 2.2 functionality into our Tcl Developer's Guide (including ADPs) which you can now download from: www.aolserver.com/server/docs/2.2/html/tcldev.htm You can also check out our new Database Driver Developer's Guide at: http://www.aolserver.com/server/docs/2.2/notes/driver.html And finally, AOLserver 2.2.1 has some extra stuff for checking performance of a running server.

My suggestion is to go onto your illustra machine and edit the MIPARAMS file. Add a line called, MI_LICENSE name.of.illustra.server By default, the NT version of illustra installs ELM on the machine. What might be happening is that when illustra starts up and queries for its license, it is getting responses from the other server on your network (which does not match the license correctly).

Solution 1: Edit the HTML code and turn all the FORM values to HIDDEN values with fixed VALUEs. You will get a FORM that displays as a single submit button (granted, not a simple link). Solution 2: Perhaps you could enhance solution 1: - take out the submit button - add a simple link that executes some Javascript like the following Query (it does work actually; I tried it) Solution 3: Do your own Tcl proc and bind it to an URL (ns_register_proc).

If you do this, you'll also have to make sure that the Tcl scripts that handle these URLs are registered to handle GET as well as POST. I suspect that they aren't, but I might be wrong... check the source in the nsdb Tcl module to make sure. You might have to write a script of your own that does a bunch of ns_register_proc GET commands for these nsdb procs. BTW, it looks like SearchQBF is registered on GET, but InsertRow, DeleteRow, and UpdateRow are not. SearchQBF might be all you need though.

I thought that the URL /NS/Db/SearchQBF was registered only with the POST method, but it is instead registered with GET as well. There is a nice way to build the URL: let the browser do the work for you! (of course it takes care of the necessary url-encoding as well) Just go to the page with the query form, save it locally as .html file then edit it and modify the
tag: - add //www.yourserver.com to the ACTION string - change METHOD=POST to METHOD=GET Load the local page in the browser, fill in the form as you like then click the submit button: you will get the needed URL string in the location box! The only catch I see is that the user sees clearly all the query parameters in the location box. Besides encouraging the user to tweak that parameters (perhaps jeopardizing the site security), this makes impossible to have some "hidden" parameters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Marco Coletti Network Administrator, Webmaster, Computer Consultant PGP public key: http://keys.pgp.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&exact=on&search=0x96A79061 finger://mail.eurofin.it/marco.coletti Fingerprint: 9F E5 80 61 F6 9F 05 2D EA 53 6F 2D 82 8B C7 C2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 14:06:25 +0000 Reply-To: Web Development with AOLserver Sender: Web Development with AOLserver From: Eden Torrez Subject: Problems with FTP Server MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi,I have running AOLServer 2.2.1 in my box Solaris 2.5.1.

I think that I can't have many ftp servers running on the same machine and with the same port, but with different IP address. I have some similar problems with the AOLserver FTP module. On one HP Unix box (running 10.20), it worked like a charm. It listened on its own little IP address and left the rest of the machine's IP addresses to the standard OS-provided FTP server. On another HP Unix box (running 10.10), it listened on all the IP addresses EXCEPT the one for its virtual server (where the OS-provided FTP server was listening). I still haven't gotten it to work which is a shame because HTTP PUT isn't that well supported by most of the world and I'm unwilling to let random people use the main FTP server (too much security risk from passwords being sent in the clear).

One reason for this kind of behaviour might be that your OS's inetd (and by extension the FTP server) does not multi-home, or it just doesn't multi-home the right way. On almost all operating systems, the stock inetd will listen on all IP addresses and you will have to turn off the ftpd service in order to get AOLserver's nsftp module to work. It isn't the fault of nsftp; it's because almost the inetd and/or ftp daemon your OS uses does not multi-home properly. One solution is to replace your stock ftpd with one that multi-homes properly (I believe wuftpd does this now) and don't run it as a service from inetd. Right now I've found that it's best to comment out the OS's FTP service in your /etc/inetd.conf do everything through nsftp. You probably still need an ftp server that works with your /etc/passwd, however, and wuftpd should accommodate that while preserving the functionality of the very useful AOLserver nsftp module. I think nsftp is great; I can administer a web system without giving anyone a real OS account, which is incredibly wonderful... if only the OS ftp service multi-homed, life would be perfect. But at least you can try to use wuftpd to keep the regular OS-level from messing up the AOLserver nsftp module. Send me some email if you want more info! Kris Rehberg -- Kriston J.

Are there additional Parameters for the ODBC driver as > the ODBC driver setup page suggests? Unfortunately, this is a hardcoded value. If we were still releasing this code we would change it to something configureable, but for now all you can really do is change the structure of your database -- something you probably don't want to do. Of course, if you feel up to it, you do have the source code for this driver -- you could fix the problem and recompile it! The offending code is in Ns_ODBCGetRow: for (i = 1; i <= numcols; i++) { char datum[8192]; SDWORD cbvalue; rc = SQLGetData(hstmt, i, SQL_C_CHAR, datum, sizeof(datum), &cbvalue); ODBCLogHstmt(rc, handle, hstmt); if (!RC_SUCCESSFUL(rc)) { goto error; } if (cbvalue == SQL_NULL_DATA) { Ns_SetPutValue(row, i - 1, ""); } else { Ns_SetPutValue(row, i - 1, datum); } } You just need to change it so that it mallocs datum instead of keeping it on the stack and get the size out of the nsd.ini file. doug ------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug McKee, Manager, Web Server Development Email: doug@aol.net America Online, Inc. 8619 Westwood Center Drive Vienna, VA 22182 ------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 26 Oct 1997 18:24:56 -0500 Reply-To: Web Development with AOLserver Sender: Web Development with AOLserver From: Doug McKee Subject: Re: TCL array problems Comments: To: jim@meritnet.com In-Reply-To: <3443D748.2AF0@meritnet.com> (message from Jim Wilcoxson on Tue, 14 Oct 1997 16:34:16 -0400) >>>>> "Jim" == Jim Wilcoxson writes: Jim> Hello, I have a TCL weirdness I don't understand and could Jim> use some help.

I'd be willing to bet money that this same bug has existed in Tcl 7.4 for a long time, honestly, I'm a little afraid to go in and attempt a fix as this code is a bit nasty (I didn't write it!) and rather fundamental to Tcl. You'll get a fix when we move to Tcl 8.0 in the next several months. So, recommend the following workaround: Rewrite your code such that you don't check for existence of an element in the array while searching the array. If you need to, copy all the data to another array and check the other one for element existence. doug ------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug McKee, Manager, Web Server Development Email: doug@aol.net America Online, Inc. 8619 Westwood Center Drive Vienna, VA 22182 ------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 09:58:03 -0500 Reply-To: Web Development with AOLserver Sender: Web Development with AOLserver From: Doug McKee Subject: Re: are you interested in ArsDigita offering support?

We've put a fair amount of energy into optimizing a bunch of things in the core of AOLserver; when we release we'll have some numbers we can show you. A couple of things we've done: - Combine nonblocking single-threaded I/O for serving raw data with multithreaded processing of dynamically generated requests. Only use threads where they're worth the overhead. - Cache oft-hit files in memory -- fully configurable of course * Native support for Java Servlets (see http://jserv.javasoft.com/products/java-server/servlets/index.html) * Native support for ATG Dynamo (see www.atg.com) * Enforced disk quotas for virtual servers * Support for single ip address virtual hosting exploiting the Host header that most browsers currently send along with the request. * Ability to register tags inside of ADP's; e.g., the contents of ... would only be returned to MSIE browsers. * Fractional scripts inside ADP's letting you do things like: <% if [foo] { %> FOO! <% } else { %> BAR! <% } %> So when will you get this release?

And while you are at it :-) , is there any chance of a FreeBSD version? The latest FreeBSD has a threaded libc, I think. BTW, love the integration etc. I am currently getting with AOLserver.

With the newest nsftp module (v.1.08), you need to specify the FtpAddress along with the FtpHostname in the nsd.ini to get the behavior that you're looking for. The *:21 means that nsftp is trying to bind to INADDR_ANY or to *all* interfaces (i.e., IPs). In the above case, the system ftpd has already bound to all interfaces and is listening on port 21. If you specify the following in your nsd.ini: FtpHostname = mybox.whatever.net.com FtpAddress = 111.111.111.111 then nsftp will listen on its own interface while leaving the rest to inetd and ftpd. Hope this helps, o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o | Eric O'Laughlen e-mail: erico@aol.net| | AOL Web Development W: 703.918.2142 | o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
