Aloha,
I made an FTP widget for one of the editors that simply uploads an html
string to a specific directory/file.
Of course... (duh) when I gave it to him with the 2,4 engine and no home
stack, it failed...obviously...libURL absent..
This leads to several questions:
1) it seems when in the IDE (home stack open) that the use of
start using stack libURL
is not required. Was this eliminated? Or is it still a good idea to uses it?
But I don't think that would have solved it because:
2) Since libURL is a substack of the mctools.mc I presume that one must
clone it and make the clone a substack of any stack in which you are going
to use these scripts. Correct? (note, would be really handy to put this in
the resource mover!)
3) How does one go about implementing progress bars and feedback from the
libURL handlers? Do we need to go in and add code ourselves? Seems like that
kind of tampering by a novice could be dangerous, ...so, does libURL send
messages that we can trap for? and if so, what are they? Basically all I
want is something really simple..."OK, your FTP upload worked. Done." or
"Sorry, problem, your FTP upload didn't work" Downloads are
transparent...either you see the data/file you tried to fetch or not... but
uploads are "mysterious" without feedback.
4) For in-house RAD's security is not an issue. But, for delegation of web
tasks to team members in other countries, we may want to "lock up" the
passward to the web site. If we set a password for the stack... will that
suffice to keep the curious out?
Thanks Andu. What a jewel tool.
