Re: [OT] Server doesn't send response code
Hi Jacque, Where exactly is the CGI sending the return message? The URL should start with ssl://www.sandbox.paypal.com/... I do this with PHP and that has worked fine for years. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 We will have room for new projects after 1 June.

If someone knows where the problem is, I'll ask in an appropriate forum somewhere. I've implemented PayPal's Instant Payment Notification system using an old-style CGI on my (non-rev) server. It works fine. Paypal sends a notification, my cgi responds, Paypal sends validated, and I process the order. The data always comes in and I always get the validation response. That should be the end of it. But PayPal's sandbox test tool consistently shows an error and replies IPN delivery failed. Unable to connect to the specified URL. Please verify the URL and try again. Obviously it did find my server and URL, because my script received the data and has responded back to Paypal, which in turn has responded with a validation. So I set up a test button on a fake web page and used their sandbox accounts to buy from myself. Paypal sends its message, my cgi gets the data, sends it back, it's validated, and then Paypal starts resending the notification every 2 minutes forever until I turn off the system. The IPN docs say Paypal will resend notifications until it gets a response. When I look at the IPN history, there is no server response code for any of the messages (it should be 200.) The response code field is just empty. So I think what's happening is my server isn't acknowledging receipt of the messages, which causes Paypal to think it can't reach me, and it keeps resending. Is the problem a header I should be using? A server problem? Some kind of block somewhere? ISP setup? Anyone know where I should start looking? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Checking for an internet connectio
Thanks Dar. You're right, Phil's solution answers a better question than the one I asked since it kills two birds with one stone - is there an internet connection and is the server responding.

I think it is a better question. It answers not only if there is an Internet connection but also whether your update server is online and reachable. That might be more of the question you wanted your script to ask. It does not say whether there are ftp/http services available on your download server. You might want to check with a quick ping by hand to make sure icmp services are available on you server (which they are likely to be).

Installing new software
Got everything working nicely with my handler to check for a more recent version of my program. The final step after downloading is to copy the new version of the program to wherever it needs to go on the user's computer but I can't do that because the program is running (this is on OS X but I assume it would be the same on other OS's). I'm guessing the way to do this is instruct the user to quit the program ,have a handler that fires when the program closes that knows a new version is ready to install and launches an Applescript (on OS X) to do the copy and start the program again.

Re: Checking for an internet connectio
Pete, It's a good idea to always check the error code returned from a shell command. The actual text may various from one OS update to another, so depending of the text returned can be a quick way to introduce an odd bug that works on one platform, but not on another. The man page will describe the returned values. If they are the text values (like ENOSPC, or EINVAL), you can look those up in the errno.h file (usually in /usr/include/sys/errno.h). Since ping returns data on both a failure and a success, checking for an empty tResult would always result in a failure as written.

If no update is needed, the user won't notice a thing, and if one is available you can offer the choice of updating now or postponing it. All that is pretty much industry standard.

Re: Installing new software
Appreciate the input folks. I guess as much as anything else, I'm reluctant to start messing with my stack structure at this late stage of the game for a released product. I can pretty much guarantee there will be unforseen consequences! On thinking about this more, I'm not sure I should really overwrite the existing version of the program with the new one. I kinda like the way RunRev does things in that their program file names include the version number. That means I can download a new version and run it to see if I like the new version without destroying the old version. In fact, I keep all the old versions of LC around. On a related issue, I do have a progress scrollbar during the download. It works fine but how do I change the color of the progress bar? I've tried setting the various options on the Inspector Colors tab but they don't seem to have any effect. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 2:02 PM, J.

Could there be a problem with the character encoding? I always make sure that I send and receive UTF8. Have you tried libUrlSetSSLVerification false?

The data is already urlEncoded, I just send it back intact. Have you tried libUrlSetSSLVerification false? Yes, no difference. I think that command is just for receiving secure data. The libUrlPostFormdata command uses the second header too and that makes me think that it may not be sent automatically with the post command. I'm not really posting form data back, just returning a url-encoded string. But again, paypal has no problem with what I'm sending; it gets my posts and answers me fine, and I have all the data I need to process the transaction. The post command appears to be working. There's just that hang at the end where paypal is waiting for some kind of ack and isn't getting one. I was reading that some ISPs disallow sending to https from a cgi; does anyone know about that? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

The revMenuBar
Is there any reason for the IDE revMenubar to be as wide as it is? If you have ever taken a little wander with the Property inspector you will see that the max width and max height can be 65535! What could be the possible reason for the attributes to be set that large? Well, anyway back to the questions at hand: 1) The reason for all the extra real estate. 2) what is the preferred way of locking it back to a smaller width? In other words, I could make use of that extra space that is now being taken up, for no apparent reason, by a very large blank space on the menubar.

Re: Server doesn't send response code
hmm... it may have been called something else before. I vaguely recall the windows dll changing it's name. It's certainly called revsecurity.so in the current bundle. Is it possible it was supported later on Linux than on other platforms? Cheers Monte On 30/04/2012, at 11:48 AM, J.

Re: Characters that can be used in an array key
Hi David, I doubt tabs make trouble but don't really know. When I have a tab-delimited line I'm using as a key, I usually base64Encode it first. I would not use nulls in a key, but again I don't really know if it would cause problems.

Re: iOS Real Estate
Ok, I know I'm missing something simple, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. I have a stack that's 1000 by 1000 pixels, and I'm testing it in the iPad Simulator 5.1. In the Standalone Application Settings, I am building for iOS 5.0 or Later, Armv7, and I have set it for Landscape Left. The problem is the simulator cuts off my stack to something less than 1000 pixels in both dimensions. I know that the Retina display has a resolution of 2048 by 1536, plenty of real estate to show my stack, but it doesn't. What the heck is going on? BTW, I'm using LiveCode v 5.5. on a Mac.

Avoid those. A NUL is called null in LiveCode and is numToChar(0). The result of arithmetic have numberFormat applied to them to create strings for keys, so you might need to be careful there when using numbers, the same number could end up being two different keys. I have not noticed any problem with tabs. I am curious as to what else you learn.

On a Mac, the menubar is the width of the monitor and is always the same as any other app, and the toolbar under it just fits the icons. You must mean Windows or Linux. You could try setting the maxwidth in the stack inspector to whatever you want and see if that works. The size might be scripted though. I never noticed it being too wide.
