[pclasses-devel] Woohoo! ps11n ftp de/serialize works! :)

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

As of about 20 minutes ago: ps11n now supports 7 data flavours and 4 
data transport layers: the usual streams and files, and now http and 
ftp.

Convert file in.paren using s11n over ftp:

stephan@owl:~/cvs/s11n.net/ps11n/src> s11nconvert -f in.paren -o 
ftp://stephan:password@localhost/x.s11n -s pio --pio-serializer=funxml

stephan@owl:~/cvs/s11n.net/ps11n/src> cat ~/x.s11n
<!DOCTYPE SerialTree>
<somenode class="NoClass">
<<snip>>
</somenode>

Loading the data over ftp:

stephan@owl:~/cvs/s11n.net/ps11n/src> s11nconvert -f 
ftp://stephan:password@localhost/x.s11n -s funtxt -S pio
#SerialTree 1
somenode class=NoClass
{
<<snip>>
}


Reminder: s11nconvert is just a convenience tool for testing here. 
Calling the following from C++ would also work:

P::s11n::save( myobj, "ftp://user:pass@host/path" );

MyT * obj = P::s11n::load_serializable<MyT>( "ftp://..." );



Getting over http now works using the same Serializer:
s11nconvert -f http://s11n/P.s11n -s compact -S pio
51191011
<<snip>>
51190000

Writing over http "might" work - i don't yet know because i don't know 
how to tell the http side to react accordingly. (@Christian - any tips 
on how to set up the http side of a IORequest_Put?)


Transparent network support is pretty frigging cool. The IOManager 
allows us to handle http and ftp with a single Serializer class, and 
that this one can support any protocols which P::IOManager handles.

file:// URLs "should" work, but there's aparently a bug in the file:// 
handler:

s11nconvert -f file://$HOME/x.s11n -s compact -S pio --pio-verbose
PIOSerializer.cpp:42 : pio-verbose mode is on.
PIOSerializer.hpp:61 : deserialize() from 
[file:///home/stephan/x.s11n]...
PIOSerializer.hpp:144 : NetDbError: pnetdb.cpp:343:static 
P::NetDb::ServiceEntry P::NetDb::serviceByName(const std::string&, 
const std::string&): Could not resolve service by name: Resolver Error 
0 (no error)
PIOSerializer.hpp:64 : deserialize(): read_content() failed :(
s11nconvert error: Error loading node tree from input stream!


See ya!
