[Zope] mod_rewrite and IIS7
I am attempting to park Zope behind Windows 2008/IIS7 (using its mod_rewrite function) and seem to be having some difficulty getting it to work. What I want to do is make directory on Zope website look like it is a directory on an IIS7 website. I seem to be close but missing some critical element. Does anybody have a step by step process for doing this or samples of rules on IIS7 for doing something similar? ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] Manipulating images in Zope/Python
I am looking for strategy to programmatically create a customized printable certificate of completion for our Learning Delivery System courses (the system is Zope/Python based). My current plan is to use the Python Imaging Library to create the image (probably by overlaying some text on a stock image of a completion certificate to create a new image). The final image will then be emailed as an attachment to users. Is this a reasonable approach? Any others that anybody can suggest? Any samples of doing anything like this that anyone can point to? ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Anonymous security
Yeah -- I rediscovered Proxy roles and that seems like the most straightforward strategy -- not sure if there counter indicators though that would make that strategy problematic.

[Zope] double opt-in or opt-in with confirmation.
I am looking for a strategy or samples (or even just a hint as to the best process) to create an email opt-in strategy in Zope. I am thinking that what you do is use some sort of hash or unique id creation mechanism (based on the email address, time or something else). Based on what I am seeing -- some sort of MD5(not totally sure what that means but I understand there are Python supplied functions to generate it) hash of a combination of the email address and date/time stored and then sent to the user should guarantee that it is unique, can't be auto generated by some bot and should allow verification on http access using the hash in the url?

Re: [Zope] Date utility for Zope (V2)
I have recurring events that I want to schedule (the events are sending email, Twitter DMs and Facebook messages -- at least those are the possible ones that I have identified so far). I need some flexible way to both specify the intervals and interpret the intervals so that the next event in a sequence can be specified in real time terms and scheduled. The event schedule at least in plain English could be something like every weekday at 8:45, every Monday at 9:00 and 1:00, every day at 2:00, the first of every month at 9:00, every other Monday. I realize that I may have to settle for something that is not quite as flexible as I imagine and at least for now I am just trying to see if someone else has solved this problem or one similar and has something I can use as a base.

Re: [Zope] Re: Windows Server 2003, II6 and ASP404 vs form posts
For anyone else who might search the list in the future: Microsoft has confirmed that ASP error handlers in current versions of IIS 6 do not, can not, and will not -- no matter what the security settings -- get at POST data. There's a discussion of the changes at: I think that is not 100% true-- I am not sure where the difference lies -- but as we discussed I am using ASP404 on Windows 2003 (at http://www.coursesbywire.com) with form Posting functioning. The only issue (that I ran up against and had to solve) is that the method used in ASP404 to determine whether the original request was a POST or a GET no longer works on Win2003 (as it did on Win2000) -- it is necessary to introduce a kludge in the ASP code. http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/11/29/Child_URL_Execution_and_SSI_exec.aspx The author confirmed that the changes also affect custom error handlers. So, the days of serving Zope pages on IIS via the 404handler.asp approach are pretty much over. Not quite -- but maybe numbered. I agree though that starting out now using it when it was not previously in use might be a bad plan. I am not totally sure what is causing your problem but on my (fully patched Win2003)server the Post data is available. I had a look at Enfold's Proxy when I this issue first came up for me but found that it did not solve my problem (though it could be that I just didn't understand something about it). In my case putting Apache in front did not seem a reasonable solution either as I am running IIS on the box and needed it to stay. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] Upgrading to Zope 2.9.1

The installation is successful 2) Copy the Product directory from my functioning 2.8.4 system instance to the 2.9.1 instance 3) copy the ZODB from the functioning 2.8.4 system to the 2.9.1 system All appears to go well -- the 2.9.1 system appears to be running everything from the 2.8.4 system correctly. A deeper check though shows that a few Python scripts in the ZODB (this in a system that has 20 or 30 scripts) fail. Examining the scripts indicates an error at line 3 -- but no such error can be found, however saving the script with no changes eliminates the error and also causes the script to now function. After finding and correcting these scripts everything seems to be working well. Any idea what happened during the upgrade to cause this strange behaviour and how can I avoid it?

The first cookie crumbler to do authentication sets the cookie and even if other cookie crumblers get involved they will not just overwrite that cookie because the lifetime setting on their cookie is different.

It might even introduce more issues than it solves. Yeah, you'd still need to arrange to export / import the particular objects (not really files) you're interested in. Yes -- objects -- just have a hard time sometimes mentally changing from paradigm to paradigm. If they're scattered all over, as it sounds like, you're not going to find a ready-made solution. Only you know which objects you're interested in. That's why I suggested that you may end up scripting something. Yes they are scattered around. What I would like to do is send a file (zexp like?) that just had the various required bits in it with an implied hierarchy and have the import take care of the distribution to match the files/hierarchy. I guess nothing like that exists? ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] Cache headers
I am trying to ensure that zope delivered content (Zope 2.7 at this point) is upstream cacheable regardless of whether theusers delivered to are authenticated or not(currently my site is fronted by Cookie Crumbler based login/authentication). My understanding is that the way to do this is to create an HTTPcache object and associate all the material that should be cached with it(in addition to unchecking the anonymous only cache check box). Am I making a correct assumption? Is there any way to automatically force that association on all content created in a directory and subdirectories or must this association always be done by hand? Some simple call to the cache software perhaps? ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I figured out what the problem was -- it seems the ASP404 script depends on REQUEST_METHOD set in the request header to decide what mode to open WinHTTP in. On Win2000 the REQUEST_METHOD is set to the method of the request (GET/POST). On 2003 the method is always set to GET regardless of the original method. The only solution I could find was to use Request.totalbytes 0 as a check to set the WinHTTP open mode. Something like: openmode = Request.ServerVariables(REQUEST_METHOD)if Request.totalBytes 0 thenopenmode =POSTend ifzopeServer.Open openmode, zopeRequest, False Somehow it seems like not a very satisfying solution but it serves my purpose at this point. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

OK -- thanks to those that replied (many with a similar solution).
I do have access to the server (Win2000 in my case) so I can pretty well do anything I want.
It comes back now -- I did something like that but then called it through a gateway Python script that allowed me to turn off all logging in one spot easily (by modifying the script) in case I wanted to leave the debug statements there temporarily and not incur the expense of a huge log file.

Can anybody point to any resources or have any comments/opinions-- like what versions of Zope/Solaris seem to be compatible, any special issues/requirements? Except for the fact that it will seem dog slow, Zope runs fine on Solaris. The major issue seems to be that the threading model in the Solaris libc is especially punitive for long-running, multi-threaded Python applications. Dog slow as compared to what? I would prefer to do the absolute minimum in terms of tuning. Most of my experience with Zope and otherwise is with Windows. Can I potentially get by just installing and running? How would it run that way on a current Solaris server with appropriate memory compared to say running on a P4 3meg Win2003 machine with appropriate memory. I would recommend running multiple appserver processes, each with a single worker thread, rather than trying to run a truly multi-threaded appserver; you will then need to load balance them (e.g., with Pound).

[Zope] Re: Zope on Solaris
Dog slow as compared to what? As compared to commodity server-class Linux/Intel hardware (which will cost you around 1/4 to 1/3 what the equivalent Solaris rig does). I would prefer to do the absolute minimum in terms of tuning. Most of my experience with Zope and otherwise is with Windows. Can I potentially get by just installing and running? How would it run that way on a current Solaris server with appropriate memory compared to say running on a P4 3meg Win2003 machine with appropriate memory. Let's put it this way: even if you get paid in cheese sandwiches, it will be cheaper to buy a 1U lintel box to run the server than the time you spend trying to figure out why it is so slow on Solaris, let alone the time you spend trying to remediate it. Unless somebody has a gun to your head, you should not run Zope on Solaris in *any* performance-critical environment. FWIW, I offered once to *buy* the 1U for the client if it didn't smoke their big-iron Solaris box; they declined to take me up on it (but still went ahead and used Solaris, because that was what made the SAs feel warm-n-fuzzy).
