IfModifiedSince is an access/assign method. Either one of these will work:

? oServer:HTTPRequest:IfModifiedSince
? oServer:HTTPRequest:getHeader('If-Modified-Since')

Re: How to open a new window

Itai,

Try the following:

onClick="window.open(http://www.Url/ShowData,,'width=400,height=200,location=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbar=yes')"



At the server end write ShowData() that dispatches the html you need.

comparable function to javascript:decodeURIComponent

2008-03-15T11:14:20Z

Hi,
i post form input variables via AJAX to a xb2.net server. The form variables
are escaped
with javascript encodeURIComponent() function. The xb2.net xbUnescape()
function
retrieves up to 3bytes for a single entered character in a form field.
Example: German: &uuml; is escaped as "%C3%BC" and unescaped by xbUnescape()
as 0xC3BC String.

Is there a function or class with is able to convert an UTF-8 escaped string
as a single Byte ASCII-String?

news server maintenance

2008-03-27T10:53:44Z

Hi all,

Just updated the news server running this NG to MPNews, that have more features than my old Argosoft news server. Also moved to my new VPS at godaddy.com as the old have very low bandwidth.

During this week you may experience that new posts may not reflected inmediately, or also may not be visible to all users. The new server is pulling messages from the old every 60 min. so when the DNS propagation will be completed all messages will be reflected in the new server.

Chris,

We settled on jquery for a framework..  

I've gotten as far as successfully making an ajax call, but we're just in 
the infancy of working on that..

Phil Ide and Sander were working on Ajax (and phil was working on Comet,

Thumbnail image creator in a DLL???

2008-04-15T17:16:50Z

All,

I am looking to create a picture upload section of an xb2net weeb server I 
have written.  I will have the users be able to upload images that I will 
catalog and then present back in a web page that displays a list of 
"thumbnails" that when clicked will open a new window that downloads and 
displays the full size image.  In order to do this, I will need to create 
the "thumbnail" when the full size image is uploaded.  I was looking for a 
DLL that I could load and call functions to do the job.  The other 
alternative would be to shell out to a utility that handles command 
parameters.

Does anyone know of any such utilities?

A quick Google search did not turn up anything of interest.


Thanks!

Jim,

Hope all's well with you..

You can create the thumbnails yourself in xbase++

We used to do it, but switched to creating them on the desktop and 
sending them up to our sites.

If you don't have xbase control of the client's desktop environment, just 
create them yourself in the xb2net server, or shell to s specific xbase 
app which does only that.

All the best..

The solution is not to increase the timeout period. DBF files are 
automatically closed when a thread terminates. The code that does this is 
found in WEBSERVE.PRG:

soServer:atEnd := {||DbCloseAll()}

The meeting was well attended and went very well. Steffen talked about 
the future direction of Xbase++, including:

- Upcoming 1.9 service level 1
- Integration of SQL into core language
- Integration of PgSQL as the preferred Xbase++ client server solution
- Plans to tap into vast Visual FoxPro community

I gave a session on SQLExpress and Xb2.NET. Several performance 
benchmarks were presented comparing DBF/Xbase style programming with SQL 
style. Identical databases were used; one running on ADS v8, and the 
second running MS SQLServer 2005. The following results:

NOTE: All queries running against equivalent data and return exactly the 
same result (test program is attached).

1. Query :

Traditional DBF: 10.5 sec (running on ADS)
Brute force conversion of query to SQL: 13.5 sec (running on ADS)
Brute force conversion of query to SQL:4.2 sec (running on SQLServer)
Optimized SQL query: 5.0 sec (running on ADS)
Optimized SQL query: 0.05 sec (running on SQLServer)

2. Insert/Update:

Traditional DBF: 17.5 sec (running on ADS)
Optimized SQL: 2.4 sec (running on ADS)
Optimized SQL: 0.8 sec (running on SQLServer)

I also showed how to create a website from scratch using only Xbase++, 
Xb2.NET and SQLExpress. The sample I used was the http://xug.xb2.net 
site. This I thought was a good sample because it was simple (only a few 
pages) and there was a data input (the registration page) and a data 
output (the report showing who's registered).

After the meeting a few of us walked to a nearby pub where we sampled 
some local beers and enjoyed each others company with more shop talk 
including a discussion of the next step in human evolution... the 
emergence of a super-intelligence (either artificial or biologically 
enhanced). Here's some links about this topic:

Would it be possible to get the source of the  http://xug.xb2.net site?

I can't download the SQL.prg sample, because of Outlook is blocking all PRG
files. Could you provide this as a ZIP?

By the way, I haven't got a renewal for my subscription for a long time? Is
this still valid?

How to access local web server running in a network from outside network?

2008-06-04T17:48:38Z

Hi All,

I have written a local web server based on the example given by Boris. It 
works fine when I try it from a computer on the same network using the local 
IP address where the local web server is running example 
http://10.0.0.9:80....  But when i get the ip address as known from the 
internet outside world example 41.242.56.208 I find that all of my computer 
on the network all have the same ip address which is logical. How do I test 
as though I am coming in from outside of my network ? I know it has 
something to do with the router setting and possibly port forwarding ...But 
I can not get it right. Can someone help me please?

Kind regards
Nestor

you need to configure the firewall on your external router to forward port 
80 to the IP address where the Xb2.NET webserver is running. Example on my 
router I have the following setting:

service name: HTTP
start port: 80
end port: 80
server IP address: 192.168.1.5

My webserver is running on a computer with the internal IP address 
192.168.1.5 (this address needs to be static).
 
Hope that helps,

Hi Boris,
I've set my port forwarding parameters in my router to
Rule name: HTTP1 (I have even tried HTTP)
start port 80
end port 80
My computer that has webserver running IP: 10.0.0.9
--------------------------------------------------------
And for example the external LAN IP address is 41.242.40.20
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then is the SOAPEXEC.EXE program I type the following for my promps:
Server name or IP address: http://41.242.40.20:80
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I get:
Result......: Fault
Return data:
{{"faultcode", "env:Server", ""}, {"faultstring", "Server: invalid 
response", ""}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also turned off my windows firewall for this test.

Kind Regards
Nestor

some additional suggestions:

1. Try connecting using your browser using the following:
   http://41.242.40.20
   http://10.0.0.9

2. Try defining your server (10.0.0.9) as a DMZ server in the router.

Have tried that and still same problem (note have restarted router as well)

Hi,

I have done this here. You have to tell the firewalls (ROUTER + Desktop 
...) that request to port 80 (or what you are using in your Server) have 
to been redirect to the client and you have to know which IP adress ist 
aktual assigned to your NETWORK (router). I use dyndns 
(http://www.dyndns.com/) for that. Does your internal adress is every 
time the same ? Maybe you can use a fixed one in your router. Your 
computer should get its IP by DHCP, because of the right DNS settings.
So on Win2000 without desktop firewall you have to:

1. Router redirect port 80 onto your pc
2. the pc have to have the same internal IP than you declared into the 
router.
3. Your router should tell his outside adress to dyndns - my router can 
do this.

4. If you have WinXP you have to set a firewall roule to let the port 80 
request through. Vista maybe needs a little bit more ?

Bye
Hubert

Re: How to access local web server running in a network from outside network?

Hi Guys,
I am really trying to solve this problem and am getting desperate. I have
tried resting my router settings to factory defaults and then setting up
the basics just to get onto the internet.  I have even switched off the
firewall settings of the router as well as for Windows XP for testing
purposes. Note that we are permently connected to the internet.. Have also
defined (10.0.0.9) as a DMZ server in the router.
I have allowed for the exceptions of port 80 and port 443 in the Windows
firewall. I have the latests service packs and patches on my Windows XP
professional.
Now I am trying the basic from xb2net demo soap software with the options
that do not require the webserver...following is what I get:
1) Get Exchange Rate Between Two Currencies (!)
     Fault
   Returned data:
 {{"faultcode", "env:Client", ""}, {"faultstring", "Cient: no connection",
""},
  {"detail", xbComplexType, ""}}
2) Execute WHOIS query for a domain name    (!)
   Microsoft.com
   Fault
   Returned data:
 {{"faultcode", "SOAP-ENV:Server", ""}, {"faultstring", "Error opening SRL
file.", ""},
     {"faultactor", "/xml/SQLDataSoap.WSDL",""}, {detail", xbComplextype,
""}}
3) Use BabelFish to traslate text between languages (!)
  Fault
 {{"faultcode", "env:Client", ""}, {"faultstring", "Cient: no connection",
""},
  {"detail", xbComplexType, ""}}

Note that I am connected to an ADSL internet line and we are able to
navigate the internet with no problem. Is it a possible fault that is
related to my service provider or could the fault be with the router itself?

If someone has TEAMVIEWER I can invite them into my computer to have a look.

Kind regards
Nestor

The SOAP services you are trying to connect to are no longer available. 
Please download the latest version of Xb2.NET. I have deleted the SOAP 
services that are no longer available and added several new ones.

Hi Boris,
Downloaded demo of newer xb2net system and that worked fine to communicate
with new external soap servers. I will try and incorperate them in my older
version just to test. but I still cannot get my external ip address to do a
communication to your newer version webserver....for example get the current
date and time from the local web server.

Nestor

Unfortunately, you will need to figure out this piece. As a test, what I 
would do is bypass the router completely and plug the server directly into 
the external IP connection.

clsid for TAG OBJECT

2008-07-02T07:57:25Z

Hi to all,

I would open a Ms Word document into an html page using the tag OBJECT.

Now I open it with OpenOffice writer using the tag :

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:67F2A879-82D5-4A6D-8CC5-FFB3C114B69D" >

 <PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="file:///c:/my.doc" >

<PARAM NAME="readonly" value=false><!-- Just view the document, do not 
edit-->

</OBJECT>

it works very fine!!!!!

I don't know witch is the clsid key for a Microsoft Office Document like Ms 
Word.

The clsid's key for Ms Word seems not exists into the registry key !!!! (or 
I am thus blind.)

Obviously Ms Office is installed on my PC.

any help ?

thanks  in advanced, Giuseppe

Soap request and logging

2008-07-10T03:57:16Z

Boris,

In reviewing the standard logs for a soap server, all the stem and query 
entries are empty.  

Is it possible to pass a soap request and get the any of the specifics of 
the soap request entered in either the stem, query, or other field of the 
log file ??

we set many vars via:
oAgent:setvar("userid","abc")
oAgent:setvar("password","xyz")

but these obviously ar enot showing up in the log..

Thanks...


P.S.  are you considering coming out to Roger's express++ Devcon in 
september ??

The specifics of the SOAP request will not be logged since the SOAP data is 
sent in the HTTP body. Only data contained in the HTTP header is logged.

I would love to, but I'm just too busy at the moment.

Get a list of files

2008-07-10T21:28:55Z

I see in the FTPTest.prg how you get a directory list of what is on the FTP server. How can it get just a list of the files with out all the other stuff..

This is what you get with the

aDir := oFtp:Directory()

"-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 3643392 Jun 26 15:13 BAOK1040.TXT"

Is there an easy command to get just the file name like just "BAOK1040.TXT"

You will need to parse it out from the returned list.

Error 10048 - Specified Address Already in Use.

2008-07-11T08:44:01Z

Hello,

My Xbase++ app opens a fixed port (1038)  to listen. On some sites this port 
is in use by another service or application.
Now we use ProcessExplorer to manualy locate the offending process. (Usualy 
a M$ service)
Then we stop the M$ service, restart the Xbase++ app, and the restart the M$ 
service.
The only problem is that it takes much time to locate the offending process.

Is there som Xbase++ code that finds the name of the process or programm 
that has that port inuse?

Regards,
Jack Duijf

Push w/ xb2net ?

2008-07-13T08:40:07Z

Boris,

I'm notr very familiar with what's involved with push technology.  Does 
xb2net have the capability to push content to an open page on a browser 
without any action on the part of the client ??

If not, what is missing ?? is it an xb2net piece, or does there need to be 
something else on the browser end ?

TIA

Brian

As far as I know the way to do it is to use "chunked" transfer encoding and 
"div" html elements. The ProgressBar.prg sample uses this idea to redraw

Retrieving remote MAC address of SOAP client?

2008-07-15T18:47:01Z

Hello,

We are using xb2.net for SOAP client/server functions and want to know if 
there is a way to retrieve the MAC address of a client that is connecting 
remotely to a SOAP server.

Passing an Array through SOAP from PHP/NuSOAP to xBase/xb2.net

2008-07-15T20:06:14Z

Hello,

We are working on interfacing a website that uses PHP with the NuSOAP 
library to an application using xBase with the xb2.net library to transmit 
an array from the site to the application.

The test array I am trying to transmit is below:
{
{"1010T", 1},
{"4010T", 1},
{"1", 1}
}

If I create the array in PHP and transmit it via SOAP to the application 
using NuSOAP to send and xb2.net to receive, the array is encoded like so:

<autoparts xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" 
SOAP-ENC:arrayType="SOAP-ENC:Array[6,6]">
<item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[2]">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string">1010T</item><item 
xsi:type="xsd:int">1</item></item>
<item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[2]">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string">4010T</item><item 
xsi:type="xsd:int">1</item></item>
<item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[2]">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string">1</item><item xsi:type="xsd:int">1</item></item>
</autoparts>

When received in xb2.net it comes out as an array (detected by VALTYPE) but 
a LEN call on the array returns 0.

If I create the same array using xb2.net and output it using the :asstring() 
method, the array is encoded like this:

<autoparts xsi:type="enc:Array" enc:arrayType="xs:anyType[3]">
<SubArray1 xsi:type="enc:Array" enc:arrayType="xs:anyType[2]">
<i1 xsi:type="xs:string">1010T</i1>
<i2 xsi:type="xs:int">1</i2>
</SubArray1>
<SubArray2 xsi:type="enc:Array" enc:arrayType="xs:anyType[2]">
<i1 xsi:type="xs:string">4010T</i1>
<i2 xsi:type="xs:int">1</i2>
</SubArray2>
<SubArray3 xsi:type="enc:Array" enc:arrayType="xs:anyType[2]">
<i1 xsi:type="xs:string">1</i1>
<i2 xsi:type="xs:int">1</i2>
</SubArray3>
</autoparts>

How can I standardize one side or the other when transmitting arrays like 
this?

One option is to generate the SOAP envelope yourself. You can transmit the 
prepared envelope by passing the envelope string as the 4'th param to 
:execute()

Java app created its own WSDL, now trying to call my Xb2.Net app via SOAP...

2008-07-23T20:32:03Z

How can another Java web app use a defined WSDL, and call my Xb2.Net web application via SOAP?

We keep getting blank requests coming to my Xb2.Net web app:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<env:Body><m: xmlns:m="http://xb2.net/soap">
</m:></env:Body></env:Envelope>

Does Xb2.NET input the <m: tag element?

The WSDL is a document for exposing the methods and params provided by a 
SOAP server, however it's not absolutely neccesary since you can call SOAP 
functions directly witout a WSDL. 

If you do wish to have a WSDL, you can create it manualy or by using 3'rd 
party WSDL editors. Another option is to use VB or C# to create dummy web 
services functions and have the tool generate the WSDL for you.

It looks like the client is sending an invalid SOAP request.

I have not seen this before. The line of code that is generating the IDSC 
is this:

   nHandle := DllLoad("KERNEL32.DLL")

Is the machine 64 bit? What version of Xbase++ are you using?

This is something new that I have recently noticed. I think it's a result 
of Microsoft security patches. The service failed to start because the 
default login account does not have sufficient access rights. Log in as 
administrator then:

control panel > administrative tools > services > double click on 
"Xb2.NET HTTPS/SOAP server" > click "LogOn" tab > enter admin user ID 
& Password > click OK

You should now be able to start the service.

It doesn't matter. You need to save the admin userid/password in the LogOn 
tab for the service as outlined.

Re: Java app created its own WSDL, now trying to call my Xb2.Net app via SOAP...

2008-07-24T18:50:57Z

Does xb2.net expect the <m: element to be included in the xml soap request?

I have written an xb2.net application that exposing older legacy code to newer web applications via soap requests. I tested the xb2.net app by "hardcoding" the xml request which looks like:
<env:Envelope><env:Body><m:myFunction xmlns:m="'>http://xb2.net/soap">
...
my elements
...
</m:myFunction></env:Body></env:Envelope>

Another programmer has written/created a java web application, and used other tools to create a wsdl. Using the wsdl, his java application is allowed to generate an xml request by calling classes that supports the wsdl. But when he sends his xml request to my xb2.net app, it seems to err, and the incoming xml request looks like:
<env:Envelope><env:Body><m: xmlns:m="http://xb2.net/soap">
</m:></env:Body></env:Envelope>
which looks like an empty request...and he says that the m: element and the reference to http://xb2.net/soap is nowhere in his request.

Does my xb2.net application expect the incoming xml soap request to be formatted a certain way?
does it expect the m: element to be included in the xml request?

Thanks for your help,

Dan Abel

Re: Java app created its own WSDL, now trying to call my Xb2.Net app via SOAP...

2008-07-24T19:27:05Z

I'm the Java developer that is sending the request and wanted to add a little more detail about what I am sending. I am using Java utilities to create and send the SOAP request and handle the SOAP response, so I have little control over the specifics of the XML that gets sent other than it meets the SOAP contract and the internal schema definition. I wrote a test harness that allows me to send text so that I can determine exactly what is aceepted and what is not. There are 3 specific things that seems to be causing issues:

1. My request is putting an empty <env:Header/> element above the <env:Body> element. This should be valid for SOAP requests, but I receive an error by adding this element.

2. The only namespace prefix that is allowed in the request is "m". Our request looks like <m:pickupFromOpenTime xmlns:m="http://xb2.net/soap">...</m:pickupFromOpenTime>. If I change this to something like <aaa:pickupFromOpenTime xmlns:m="http://xb2.net/soap">...</aaa:pickupFromOpenTime>, then it does not work. This should be valid in XML to define the prefix to be any label. The Java tool chooses to use "soap" as the prefix and gives my no control over this.

3. All the elements are typed like xsi:type="xs:boolean", xsi:type="xs:integer", etc. The Java tool does not provide these types because they are in the schema and the elements actually belong to the "http://xb2.net/soap" namespace. The only solution I can think of here is for Dan's application to assume they are all Strings and do his own type conversion. Do you know any other way to handle this?

4. Similar to the last issue, the response comes back with xsi:type in the elements. I haven't got to receive a good response yet, but I'm guessing that the Java tool will not automatically convert these values since they are expected to be in the "http://xb2.net/soap" namespace. So, I'm not sure if this is a problem, but is there a way for these types to be omitted.

Thanks, Jeff

Not sure what the problem could be. Try the simple service app provided by

No, just standard SOAP. Both "RPC" and "Document" styles are supported.

The 'm:' element is used when :MessageStyle = SOAP_STYLE_RPC (this is the 
default). To get rid of the m: call :SetStyle(SOAP_STYLE_DOCUMENT)
