Re: [Webware-discuss] Webware as python module

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

Thanks. We'll check it out.

I was originally imagining that each of the modules in Webware would become 
modules in Python rather than Webware itself...

Any thoughts from anyone on this?

[Webware-discuss] Ctrl-C Exception

I've been able to cleanly do a Ctrl-C to shutdown so far, but just now, I
received the exception below. I'm not really worried about it, but thought
I'd pass it along in case anyone else has seen it...

[Webware-discuss] CVS Update

[Jay Love <jslove@mi...>]

I just committed various minor tweaks and changes to the PSP
documentation and examples.

No code changes.

Re: [Webware-discuss] parameters in PSP URLs? && CVS Commit

[Jay Love <jslove@mi...>]

OUCH.!

Thanks for catching this, Tripp.

I've commited a fix in CVS, but if you want to stick it in your local copy, here
it is.

This is a bug only for mod_python requests that are mapped to *.psp.


In HTTPRequest.py, line 327, in fsPath, add the if self._environ... line from the
snippet below.

def fsPath(self):
    """ The filesystem path of the request, using the webserver's docroot"""
    docroot = self._environ['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
    requri = self._environ['REQUEST_URI'][1:]#strip leading /
    if self._environ['QUERY_STRING']:
        qslength = len(self._environ['QUERY_STRING'])+1
        requri = requri[:-qslength] ##pull off the query string and the ?-mark
    fspath = os.path.join(docroot,requri)
    return fspath

Thanks for catching this, and let me know if you have any other problems.

Cool. Thanks for the starting point.

I'm using mod_python and modpHander::pspHandler. I've mapped *.psp, and
I'm not using a Location directive at all.

Then you're right: the problem is somewhere in the mechanism between
mod_python, the AddHandler gizmo, and what pspHandler / etc. do with the
request when they have it.

Cool. I'll look into this more once I get things delivered. For now, I've
done the exceptionally ugly workaround of not using the ? form at all. My
forms are all "POST", and my URLs are now all distinct (ie: no params
unless it's POSTed). Ewww. But I gotta deliver tonight, sooo :)

Re: [Webware-discuss] parameters in PSP URLs?

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

Doing:

 > cd WebKit
 > grep "def serverSidePath" *.py

provides a few good starting points. The concrete implementer of this has a 
hefty doc string.

However, since form fields in a GET are working for ordinary pages, but not 
PSP pages, and since all of this ultimately ties back to values passed in 
from the web server (via the adapter), I'm wondering if that's a good place 
to start the thought process:

What adapter are you using? Have you mapped *.psp in Apache or are you 
going through a WebKit specific URL?

I have no problem with this URL:
   http://127.0.0.1/WebKit.cgi/PSPExamples/PSPTests.psp?foo=bar


Note that HTTPRequest keeps the "raw request" it was given, which is a 
dictionary that includes the key "environ" from which it takes many things 
like the request path, the form fields, etc.

Maybe something like:

         print self.request().rawRequest()

in both a PSP and a subclass of Page (e.g, a basic servlet) would help.

Is there documentation somewhere of the path that a request follows

[Webware-discuss] parameters in PSP URLs?

Invoking a plain old PSP page with parameters tacked onto the end of the

Re: [Webware-discuss] del from Session?

[David Creemer <david@za...>]

Hmmm. Not quite. Here's my scenario:

Page A has a form. The form comes from an included file (via PSP include), 
and this form is re-used in lots of different parts of the application. 
Let's use a login form as an example. Perhaps Page A is the main page of an 
app, and includes this login form. A good login goes to Page B. A bad login 
(perhaps bad password) goes to Page C. Since this form is not directly part 
of a page, but rather an included snippet, I'd like to parameterize the 
"good login" and "bad login" pages. The form submits to yet another page, 
"D", which authenticates, then redirects as appropriate.

As for redirection, I'm currently using Response.sendRedirect, which works, 
but involves a round trip to the client. I had forgotten about 
Application.forwardRequest --I'll look into that.

Thanks,
-- David

Re: [Webware-discuss] del from Session?

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

DOH! You're absolutely right.

I've been reading and writing e-mails too quickly today.

BTW the reason for the name values() is basically to match the "named 
object". For example, HTTPRequest has fields() and cookies(). Reponse has 
headers() and cookies(). App has contexts(), etc.

In any case, dict.delValue() saves the day...

[Webware-discuss] CVS Update

[Geoff Talvola <gtalvola@na...>]

I added ThreadedAppServerService.py, which is a Windows NT Service
version of ThreadedAppServer.

Basically, this lets you install WebKit as a service that will start
automatically when your machine is rebooted, and you can then stop and
start it from the Control Panel like any other service.

You'll need the win32all package (or ActiveState's Python distribution
which includes it) to use this.  See the docstring at the top of the
file for instructions.

I'm talking about using the session object's values() method, not the
dictionary's values() method.  The session object's values method returns the
dictionary contained within called _values -- it's defined as:

    def values(self):
        return self._values

The naming is confusing -- maybe Session.values() (and Session._values) should
be called Session.dictionary() (and Session._dictionary) instead, so it doesn't
make it look like it's a list of the values of the dictionary.

Regarding my earlier note about dict.values() creating a new list, it would 
appear that sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I certainly

Does that really work? Doesn't values() create a new list of the 
dictionary's values?

Also, I have added Session.delValue() to the repository.

Re: [Webware-discuss] del from Session?

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

So are you saying that:

         Page A has the form
         Page A receives the submit
         Page A redirects to Page B if an error is detected
         Page B wants the original form data.

?

If so, are you doing redirection via the HTTP header, Location: (sp?), or 
via Application.forwardRequest(self, trans, URL)?

There is also a forwardRequestFast(self, trans, URL) which preserves the 
request, response and session. Since the request is preserved, you could 
presumably use it in Page B.

I wouldn't mind seeing the plain old forwardRequest() take an args 
parameter to pass to the other servlet. Just a thought.

Let me know if I'm on track or not with regards to what your situation and 
problem are.

Re: [Webware-discuss] del from Session?

[David Creemer <david@za...>]

[slightly off-topic warning....]

Thanks. This does beg a more abstract question of why nobody else has found 
the need to delete from session. This makes me worried that I'm missing a 
better technique.

As an example, I have a PSP snippet form. The code that handles the form 
POST expects to see some variables in the current session -- for example, a 
page to redirect to on a processing error. When this code is finished, I 
want to "clean up," and remove the session key/value pair. I could pass 
this parameter as a hidden value in the form, but this seems less 
efficient, and open to abuse (since it exposes some inner workings to the 
client).

Is there a better way of handling this?

Thanks,
-- David

Wow. I think this is the first time anyone has ever deleted anything from a 
session. :-)

I've been developing actual sites with Webware, but haven't needed this to 
date.

Agreed, that it's reasonable. Don't think you're missing anything.

[Webware-discuss] del from Session?

[David Creemer <david@za...>]

There doesn't seem to be a clean way to delete state from a Session object. 
I can onviously break encapsulation, and do:

del self.session()._values['key']

but it would be nice if I could just use a method. I propose something like:

def delValue( self, name ):
	del self._values['key']

is this reasonable? or am I missing something obvious?

[Webware-discuss] Arg!

[Dan Green <daniel.green@nc...>]

I've got a multi-threaded FastCGI server written in Python (the Webware folks
should be familiar with it). Source is included. I'm sure it's something dumb
that I'm doing someplace.

Should I just catch the error with a try/except block and fail politely if it
occurs? Or is there a more intelligent fix for it?

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/www/htdocs/Webware/WebKit/FastCGIAppServer.py", line 78, in ?
    server.mainloop()
  File "/var/www/htdocs/Webware/WebKit/FastCGIAppServer.py", line 35, in mainloo
    req = fcgi.Accept()
  File "/var/www/htdocs/Webware/WebKit/fcgi.py", line 244, in __init__
    self.conn, addr=_sock.accept()
socket.error: (35, 'Resource temporarily unavailable')

[Webware-discuss] Update

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

I added several tasks to the SourceForge project page. They are viewable by 
all and administrated by myself, Jay and Geoff. I took some guesses at 
deadlines, completion %'s and so on. Feel free to update or make suggestions.

http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?group_project_id=4861&group_id=4866&func=browse


CVS changes:

The UNIX script Webware/lines has been removed in favor of the new 
Webware/bin/pystats.py. You can:
   * Invoke it with -h for help on the usage.
   * Read the doc string for complete information.
   * Just run it and see what happens:
     > cd Webware
     > python bin/pystats.py

I axed the MiscUtils.CSV class which has been subsumed by the more powerful 
MiscUtils.DataTable class (see it's doc string for full info).

Some file and code clean up that would bore you to tears.

Sign me up for writing an NT Service version of ThreadedAppServer and/or
wkMonitor.
