[AOLSERVER] nsencrypt module in CVS and downloadable

2002-09-28 Thread Scott Goodwin

I've imported Daniel's nsencrypt module to AOLserver's SF area, tagged
it as "v0.1" and made it available via the Files link
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3152).

I also cleaned up the nsopenssl module downloads in the Files area
(added comments and so on -- see
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=78644 for an
example of the changes).

[AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available

2002-09-28 Thread Vlad Seryakov

Hello,

I have two modules for Aolserver:

nsmain - IMAP interface, can be used as IMAP client

nssnmp - SNMP interface, can be used AS SNMP client, supports ICMP as well

I use them in production for a while they seem to be stable.

Download from:

That's excellent. Out of curiosity, why "nsmain" instead of something like
"nsimap"?

Hmm, I can see all sorts of interesting applications for this. Again, out

I'm on my way with a quite useful module myself. This will take a week
or two, as I want to clean up the code a bit - it was used internally
for now.

It will allow some of these:
- host based vhosting and file aliasing
- file/socket detaching (*HARDCODED* - Tcl >=8.4 checking will be added
in the near future)
- i18n support (Utf-8 and other encodings handling)
- Tcl based ADP parsing (I'm using it for all of my dynamic pages!)
- URL based statistics - mostly for testing & benchmarking dynamic pages
- async handlers (allows Tcl_Async*() based multithreaded communication)
   (*REQUIRES* Tcl 8.3.4 or 8.4)
- misc utilities

I guess the most important part will be the new vhosting and Tcl based
ADP parsing.

Could you add some DNS support as well? I use scotty for SNMP, ICMP and
DNS, but would gladly move to a NS based library.

Re: [AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available

2002-09-28 Thread Scott Goodwin

I've been chatting with Vlad offline.

After reviewing the two modules, I'll be importing them into
AOLserver's CVS tree shortly, probably next weekend. This review will
include renaming modules (i.e. nsmail to nsimap, or nsimapc, c=client)
and anything else that needs to be done. Vlad's already told me he has
no heartburn with maintaining the modules from SourceForge. I'll be
adding him as a committer when I import the modules. I'll let you all
know what I'm doing so I can get some feedback from the community
before I import them and create a release package.

If you have any suggestions between now and then, post to the list or
send to me directly.

Anybody else have any modules they want to throw in the bag?

The one thing I would like to see added to nscache (but not sure I have time

on shutdown and reload on boot.  This would be a great asset when used with
ecommerce session management.

In that case, well, you probably already thought of this, Scott, but
if you do that please commit them BOTH.  Rob's version is the base,

the diffs between the two in the cvs repository is a Good Thing.

Scott has, I believe, refactored the AOLserver Postgres Driver somewhat.  My

At the time i was developing that module i wanted to put all mail
related functionality there but it ended up with IMAP client support only.
Scott suggested to rename it into imap something, so it will probably will be
renamed to reflect IMAP only support.

I built the whole NMS(Network Management System) for my company and
it's been in the production for one year already and extremely stable and
scalable. It still lacks full MIB support, but i could not find

Yes, I had imported an older version of postgres.so from the OpenACS,

centralize the AOLserver modules to one location, but not sure the

Re: [AOLSERVER] AOLserver Postgres Driver (2.3.0)

2002-09-28 Thread Scott Goodwin

What I had actually done was refactor the parts out into separate
files. Not sure it was the best cut, and the two are certainly badly
out of sync because of me. Other than cosmetic changes though, I
haven't really changed the way it operates. So starting with a fresh
copy of the OpenACS dist would probably be much easier.

The biggest problem is: will the OpenACS crew let me take the OpenACS
postgres module, refactor it and then use that refactored copy,
maintaining it at SourceForge? I realize OpenACS has a terrific SDM,
but I think the AOLserver C modules should be maintained and
distributed from a central location, and that would be SourceForge. If
the OpenACS folks continue with their version of postgres.so, that's
fine, but I hate to see two separate modules whose only real
differences may be cosmetic.

It'll mean changing the Tcl interface commands to ns_imap or something
similar. I hope that won't be too much of a burden on you Vlad -- it
would mean changing your production Tcl code. We could have the module
use both ns_mail and ns_imap commands the same way for a while.

Most SNMP libraries appear to be commercial products. Surely there's on

Re: [AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available

We now have three modules (that I know of) which use OpenSSL. I think
it's time to break OpenSSL into its own openssl.so module, and have it
loaded prior to loading nsencrypt.so, nsopenssl.so and nsimap.so. I'll
work on that this week.

Vlad, your nscache is labeled as version 1.4. Rob's doesn't appear to
be labeled at all. So I'm going to make Rob's import and file release
as 1.3, add your changes and make that a separate 1.4 release. If this
isn't correct, let me know -- like, really soon, as I'm working on it
right now :)

Hi Scott,

I want to say a huge _thank you_ for becoming the unofficial
AOLserver-tree community liason. It's great work that you're doing and I'm
really glad that it is happenning. It is so exciting to see this flurry of
new modules, and best of all, seeing them imported into the tree (after
revision) and having their maintainers with commit privs.

As for the PostgreSQL driver, I have submitted this question to the
OpenACS bboards. If the official driver maintainer has commit privs, then
I'm all for it being in the main tree.

One day, not long ago, I found myself listed as an Admin instead of a
developer of the AOLserver SourceForge area. I didn't ask for it, and
nobody told me about it, so I think it's a boo-boo, and that once I'm
found out, I'll be demoted back to Developer. Until then, I'll see what
I can do to bring some consistency to the AOLserver SF area. Absolute
power corrupts absolutely (sound of me with a very deep, baritone, evil
laugh -- WHAHAHAHA).

I think anyone who has developed a module or contributed significantly
deserves commit status.

I believe the unwritten rules are these:

- if it's for the core server, make it a patch and submit it for the
AOL dev team to integrate

- if it's for a module, the module maintainer should decide if they
want changes submitted as patches to SF or if they'd rather you make
changes to the module directly.
