Mel,

Sorry I can't answer your questions. However, I have
had success running Don Libes' cgi.tcl with TclHttpd.
I run Wikit in a slave interpreter with a TclHttpd
starkit. Wikit uses Don Libes' cgi.tcl. I created and
then destroyed a slave interpreter per request to
simulate a cgi environment. If you are interested see
http://wiki.tcl.tk/11121

Also I am in the process of getting the examples that
come with Don Libes' cgi.tcl package working with a
TclHttpd starkit. This uses the same approach as
above. I have most of the examples working but some of
the examples "exec" some unix specific commands. I'll
see if there is a Tcl equivalent so the examples run
on windows as well. I am going to post to the Tcler's
wiki when I have finished. I'll email you seperately
what I have done so far as a starkit!

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards

Jeff Smith

[Tclhttpd-users] new move to tclhttpd (kinda successful, but....)

[Mel <con...@ya...>]

i have a few basic questions.

- i have pre-existing code written win Don's cgi.tcl
- i am using latest tclhttpd kit, which is unwrapped with my
  own code placed in htdoc

- my index.tml looks like:
[Doc_Dynamic]

<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" HREF="site.css">
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" HREF="/TKT/doc/TKT.css">

[
 package require cgi

 set env(SERVER_ADDR)  127.0.0.1
 set APP               TKT
 set ENV               dev

 lappend auto_path\
     $starkit::topdir/htdocs/tk\
     $starkit::topdir/htdocs/tk/src\
     $starkit::topdir/htdocs/tk/src/util\
     $starkit::topdir/htdocs/$APP/app.vfs/lib/app

 tk::TraceOff

 cgi_buffer {
     cgi_input
     cgi_debug -on

     tk::start
 }
]

So far so good, i start httpd and it goes to my page and all is fine
now the problems begin:

*** every time i refresh the page, i see that all images are re-loaded.
(not happening under apache)

*** even though i click on links, i can see that my url is changed, and
i even see it from cgi_debug that all my url items are correct.
However, i still get the home page as though nothing has happened.

I was under the impression that [Doc_Dynamic] should re-load the
content

can someone please help me here :-)

You probably don't want to do that :)

Have you looked at template files?  They're indicated by the
suffix .tml, and the content of the file is run through tcl's subst
command.

Anyway, it's possible that you could get the effect you desire by:

	Mtype_Add .tcl application/x-cgi

although I really thought that .tcl files were just known and
executed ... try moving one under your Doc root instead of under your
Cgi root and see what happens if you try loading it (as .html or
as .tcl.)

The trouble with running tcl as a cgi is that you have to start up
another copy of the tcl interpreter executable, whereas a .tml file can
just run under the existing interpreter.

If you can rewrite your scripts so they return a value instead of
writing it to a file descriptor, you can make them .tml files by just
enclosing their content in []

Finally, if you're keen, and nothing else works, and you don't want to
rewrite the stuff, you could write a proc Doc_application/x-tcl which
does whatever you want with .tcl content.  Indeed, this extends to any
extension you like to use (see the other Doc_application/* procs for
some hints on how.)

Colin.

[Tclhttpd-users] windows cgi

[Paul N. <web...@ih...>]

I am migrating windows/sambar/activetcl wensites to
linux/tclhttpd/activetcl. (apache proved to limiting)
First stage is to migrate to windows/tclhttpd/activetcl.
This works OK if I rename the *.tcl scripts to *.cgi scripts.
But I figure I should be able to tell tclhttpd to handle the .tcl scripts as
cgis.
Can someone tell me how to do this please.

[Tclhttpd-users] SDX update via TclHTTPD problem

[Sergei G. <sg...@be...>]

I have problem with `sdx update' via TclHTTPD. When I do, for example,

sdx.kit update -from localhost:8015/cgi-bin/sync.cgi tclhttpd.kit

I see

 TCLHTTPD: fetching from localhost:8015/cgi-bin/sync.cgi ...

and nothing to process (seem as tclhttpd no reply)

Same script `sync.cgi' works pretty well with Apache Web server. I want to
use tclhttpd as my web server for updating my starkit files, but perhaps I
do something wrong. Anybody did `sdx update' with TclHTTPD? I use the
latest tclhttpd (3.5.1) and the latest sdx.kiti with Linux Slackware 9.1.

All stuffs as chown/chmod for starkit archive folder are correct
(so, the Apache work!).

May be need place some line(s) in the tclhttpd.rc file? Please, if you
know what need do, answer me!

Thank you forward,

Sergei Gavrikov

Not sure, but maybe you should cc to the tclhttpd mailing list.

The only thing i could think of would be claiming HTTP1.0 but supporting
some HTTP1.1 features. M$ should produce better error messages.

Well with Apple going Intel I think there's a bit of an icy wind

Did you get my patch for a problem relating to http redirect and  
cookies? When is there to be a planned release of the latest version?

There is one place where I *know* the released version violates HTTP1.*
- in responding to if-changed-since, when responding to a request to
send a file only if it's changed tclhttpd sends a no-change header, with
a body or entity containing some verbiage.  The spec clearly says there
must be no such entity.  I guess MS could be picking that up and
complaining (although it'll be a cold day in hell when MS conforms to
specs, but that's another discussion.)

So, your correspondant might try getting the latest CVS version, where I
think I fixed that problem.

Colin.

hello

I work with tclhttpd that uses ssl2 with its server certificate
(server.pem skey.pem) and it works fine. I try to make tclhttpd work
with ssl3. I installed a certificate on my computer and changed the
relevant configuration in tclhttpd.rc.
when I browse to my https site I get a prompt from the browser to
select a certificate. when I choose the one I installed (the only one
I have) I am getting "page cannot be displayed".
I am not an expert in the ssl area so I need some clarification.
is there someting more I need to put in the certs directory in order
to make the client authentication work?
how does tclhttpd does the client authentication?

this is what I see when I write arguments that are sent to tls
callback:
info sock11 handshake start {before/accept initialization}
info sock11 accept loop {before/accept initialization}
info sock11 accept loop {SSLv3 read client hello A}
info sock11 accept loop {SSLv3 write server hello A}
info sock11 accept loop {SSLv3 write certificate A}
info sock11 accept loop {SSLv3 write certificate request A}

you could try to use the tcllib LDAP package to do your Auth to external

I was thinking it might be nice to have the local administrator user on
windows hosts (using native password authentication) -- or root -- on ~unix
hosts - be able to authenticate using the same password for the password
dialog for the server.

At any rate I would like to be able to use a less transient verification
password for the authentication.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this --
or how best to accomplish it.

This somewhat problematic for me as I have a long running server on a
windows platform -- with some debug output. I can't get back to the
password -- so I can't ever view the statistics page.  Just an added note --
In some environments -- it would be specifically forbidden to hardcode a

Alex - you'll need to join the mailing list, or fix up your subscription,
because I had to allow this through.

Also, I can't really tell what you mean by "register TclSoap to tclhttpd"
so I don't know where this error comes from.  Url_PrefixInstall is
a core procedure inside tclhttpd.

[Tclhttpd-users] 404 not returned for missing templates

[Jeff R. <Jr...@on...>]

Hello,

I've noticed on version 3.5.1 and the CVS version that requests for
missing templates no longer return a 404 status, they return a 200
status. The not found template is displayed properly, and the request is
recorded on the status > not found page, but the logs indicate a 200
status. I'm seeing this issue on Solaris and Windows Server 2003/XP. Any
idea why this is so?

Hi,
Here I believe your cgi's are in the kit, so the filesystem does not 
know about vfs...

Besides the fact of having executables under your document root, here I 
believe that you need to register the cgi directory with "Cgi_Directory 
url_directory physical_directory"
Check execute permissions?

Below is an old script we used to use when we could not avoid cgi's in 
the kit...

proc cgikit::map_cgi {cgi_tmp_dir wrapped_dir} {
	#wrapped_dir is what is the cgi directory actually is
	# check to see if running as a starkit
	if {[info exists starkit::topdir]} {
	 if {[info procs ::Httpd_Server] ne ""} {
	set cgi_source  [file join $::Config(docRoot) $wrapped_dir]
	set cgi_dest [file join $::env(TMP) $cgi_tmp_dir]
	file copy $cgi_source $cgi_dest
	Cgi_Directory /$cgi_tmp_dir $cgi_dest
	set  ::Httpd(starkit_cgi_dir) $cgi_dest
	#register callback on exit
	Httpd_RegisterShutdown cgikit::cgi_cleanup
	return "$wrapped_dir directory remapped to /$cgi_tmp_dir"
		}
	}
      }

      proc cgikit::cgi_cleanup {} {
      ###exiting tclhttpd via the SrvUI calls this proc
      ###What to do if exiting from shell, or Control-C???
      if {[info exists starkit::topdir]} {
       if {[info procs ::Httpd_Server] ne ""} {
      eval file delete -force $::Httpd(starkit_cgi_dir)
		}
	}
      }

So on startup of tclhttpd, we call map_cgi, and exit, cgi_cleanup...

[Tclhttpd-users] tclhttpd + cgi question

[RJ Ent. <rj...@rj...>]

Greetings,

I have been attempting to get a better grasp on the cgi capabilities on
the tclhttpd but I seem to have troubles executing cgi scripts. I get the
same results from both the .kit and the .vfs . Below is the feedback I get
in the browser:

Got the error Bad Request
while trying to obtain /cgi-bin/test.cgi.
couldn't execute
"/pathToLaunchLocation/tclhttpd3.5.1.kit/bin/../htdocs/cgi-bin/test.cgi":
not a directory

Got the error Bad Request
while trying to obtain /guestbook/guestbook.cgi.
couldn't execute
"/pathToLaunchLocation/tclhttpd3.5.1.vfs/htdocs/guestbook/guestbook.cgi":
permission denied

Could someone be so kind as to shed some light on what I am doing incorrect?

Many thanks.

Re: [Tclhttpd-users] load sharing

[Edesio C. e S. <ede...@ie...>]

Maybe a simple DNS round robin? Server with multiples IP
address. Intelligent browsers should take care of failed servers and try
another IP.

[Tclhttpd-users] load sharing

[Steve B. <st...@pr...>]

Does anyone have experience of, or pointers to material relevant to,
load sharing amongst multiple instances of tclhttpd?

I want to create a robust redundant group of servers, probably
distributed across sites and IP address space (and hence routes).
The ultimate would be for this to be transparent to the user, so that,
for instance, www.mystuff.com in fact takes the user to one of several
different (but functionally identical) sites, but is not itself an
actual machine that could fail for any reason.   I do realise this is
probably asking for the moon, and I do know how robust tclhttpd is in
practice.   But customers (in suits) don't.

A lot of what we do already (which uses our own thin client rather
than a browser) implements a fall-through list of servers, but I'm
wondering whether there is a way of presenting a single server name to
a browser-based user without creating a single mode of failure.

Thanks Joris!

Definitely a bug, sounds like you've fixed it.

I've created
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1083423&group_id=12884&atid=112884 to track it, and will apply your patches to CVS.

Try this little example:
<html>
[
    Doc_Dynamic
    package require msgcat
    # set the locale
    set old [msgcat::mclocale]
    msgcat::mcset de "User set language preference" "Der Nutzer hat eine 
Sprachpr&auml;ferenz gesetzt"

    array unset headers
    array set headers [Httpd_DumpHeaders [Httpd_CurrentSocket]]
    if {[info exists headers(accept-language)]} {
      set items [split $headers(accept-language) {,;}]
      set out "User languages<br>\n"
      set ll [list]
      set langs [list]
      foreach item $items {
         if {[string match "q=*" $item]} {
             set weight [string range $item 2 end]
             lappend langs [list $weight $ll]
             set ll [list]
         } else {
             lappend ll $item
         }
      }
      set langs [lsort -index 0 -real -decreasing $langs]
      append out "<table>"
      foreach row $langs {
         foreach {weight lang} $row {
             append out "<tr><td>$weight</td><td>$lang</td></tr>\n"
         }
      }
      append out "</table>"
      # if we want to use msgcat we have to convert the lang into a 
format useful for
      # msgcat and use msgcat::mclocale $lang to set it
      # this simply assumes the browser sends appropriate lang info
      set prefered [lindex $langs 0 1 0]
      set mcpref [string map {- _} $prefered]
      msgcat::mclocale $mcpref
      # now use msgcat::mc for outputting text
      append out "<h2>[msgcat::mc "User set language preference"] : 
$mcpref</h2>"

    } else {
      set out "User has set no language preference"
    }
    #reset the locale to the old setting
    msgcat::mclocale $old
    set out

Re: [Tclhttpd-users] Browser languages ( locale ), msgcat and tclhttpd

[Michael T. <wa...@ko...>]

Hi Ricardo,

The http client should be setting a 'Accepted-Languages' header that
contains a list of locale settings preferred by the client.  Most
clients only set one preferred locale, but the http specification allows
a client to specify multiple locales, in order of preference.  The web
server can then iterate through these locales in order of preference to
select the first one that is supported.

[Tclhttpd-users] Browser languages ( locale ), msgcat and tclhttpd

[Ricardo J. <ric...@tr...>]

Hi,

  I need to customize menus for customers, based on their "prefered language" set in their browsers.

 To test I changed the code from mypage.tcl ( included in TCLHTTPD package ) to present a different header ( menu header ) for each customer using 
env(LANG) variable, but it seems to take that info ( current language ) from local machine. I mean, the one tclhttpd is running.

 The menus are beeing changed to the correct "local" language, so msgcat implementation seems to be correct.

 I need a way to get (LANG) or whatever variable name, that shows the language set at the remote browser, not local machine.

 What is the trick ? Did someone else achieve this feature ? Thanks

[Tclhttpd-users] Browser languages ( locale ), msgcat and tclhttpd

[Ricardo J. <ric...@tr...>]

Hi,

   I need to customize menus for customers, based on their "preffered language" set in their browsers.

  To test I changed mypage.tcl ( included in TCLHTTPD package ) to present a different header ( menu header ) for each customer using 
env(LANG) variable, but it seems to take that info ( current language ) from local machine. I mean, the one tclhttpd is running.

  The menus are beeing changed to the correct "local" language, so msgcat implementation seems to be correct.

  I need a way to get (LANG) or whatever variable name, that shows the language set at the remote browser, not local machine.

  What is the trick ? Did someone else achieve this feature ? Thanks

[Tclhttpd-users] Is tclhttpd "POST" slow?

[Nikos <ni...@ma...>]

Hello all,

I am using some self-posting forms, eg:

<form action="$page(url)" method="POST">

While the form initially comes up immediately, and correctly populated, 
I am noticing a substantial delay between form submission, and the next 
re-direct, ~7 seconds, while running
the server locally.

This is on WIN XP, and using the latest, starkit from beedub, and tclkit846
Actually, its slower running the app locally than on the network server 
running linux.

Putting some indicators both at the top of the form, and at the bottom, 
just before some procs are executed, and then redirect,
indicate that the delay is before the form is  processed.
e.g

#Top of test.tml
[Doc_Dynamic
puts "begin form"
]

form generation etc..
.
.
.
[
puts "starting processing"
blahh
Doc_Redirect next.tml
]

Running this, I get the expected strings after ~7 seconds, all together, 
along w/ the redirect..

Any light in the tunnel?

regards,

nicolas boretos
P.S I saw that there were some old issues with POST on windows ages ago, 
but thought they were fixed in the current version...

This is a default tclhttpd setup, except the images dir...
Here,

Doc_AddRoot is your friend
Doc_AddRoot c:/path_to_images /url_to_images

could map additional dirs as executable (cgi) cgi dirs..
