Yup, the Colors example and all other examples work fine for me.

[Webware-discuss] Update

[Chuck Esterbrook <echuck@mi...>]

CVS is updated now.
In my notes below, - means removed and + means added the method that follows.


* KeyValueAccess + hasValueForName() # return 1 if the object has a value 
for the given name

* Servlet + serverSideDir() serverSidePath() # if you need to know where 
the servlet lives in the file system

* Page + session()  # convenience method to get current session

* WebUtils.WebFuncs: HTMLEncode/Decode() now handle quotes,  " <--> &quot;

* HTTPResponse: - contents(), + rawResponse():

Returns the final contents of the response. Don't invoke this method until 
after deliver().

Returns a dictionary representing the response containing only strings, 
numbers, lists, tuples, etc. with no backreferences. That means you don't 
need any special imports to examine the contents and you can marshal it. 
Currently there are two keys. 'headers' is list of tuples each of which 
contains two strings: the header and it's value. 'contents' is a string 
(that may be binary (for example, if an image were being returned)).

* HTTPResponse: Added more assertions in various methods that the response 
is not already committed.

* AppServer: tweaked for raw response dictionaries

* CGIAdaptor: Handle raw response dictionaries. Also, shouldn't crap out on 
Windows anymore.

* I tested all WebKit examples and they work.

* FCGIAdaptor must be broken now. I can fix later today.


Geoff, Since you're the only one who experienced the Colors example problem 
could you update and try it out?

Dave, let me know if this works for you in mod_python.

Yea.

Hey, I don't know either, but sounds like fun. :-)


I'll crank on this and get it into the repository by tomorrow sometime.

[Webware-discuss] Request objects and adapters

[Dave <dwallace@de...>]

Chuck,
You had hinted earlier that you wanted to pass this responsibility off
to an adaptor (perhaps an Adapter?) Are you still of this mind? I was
thinking that if this were so it would make it simple to do some neat
things like adding a Python webserver in the same process space, or
somehow importing WebKit into a mod_python handler and letting it kick
around a suitably wrapped mod_python request object. The second could be
a big win, but I'm not sure if sub-interpreters can communicate directly
and share objects with each other or not.

Dave.
