No, I just described the way we came to fastcgi and that it solved some 
of the Problems back than. 

I pretty sure that mod_proxy is much better than pcgi was. But logic 
tells me that it can't be better than fastcgi. Building a new connection 
costs time and CPU power and as the this connections have to be build
for each request the impact grows with the number of requets.

We are running zope 2.7.8 at the moment and working on mirgating to 
2.8.x at the moment exaly for this reasons.

[Zope] Re: ASP404 on Win2003

2005-11-28 Thread Brian Sullivan

I have for a while successfully used the ASP404 script (
http://www.zope.org/Members/hiperlogica/ASP404) front ending part of a zope server using IIS on Win2000. 
 
Recently I changed the front end server to Win2003. I have been attempting to use the same technique there. All seems to work except for the fact that the "FORM" part of the request header appears to go missing during the process -- so all form submits in my particular case fail. I have yet to determine the root cause, but near as I can tell the "FORM" request segment loss happens before the asp script gets to handle the redirection, presumably a change in Win2003's 404/405 error handling strips this out intentionally or inadvertently? 

 
Are others seeing this same phenomenon? Any work around?
 
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 then openmode ="POST"end ifzopeServer.Open openmode, zopeRequest, False

 
Somehow it seems like not a very satisfying solution but it serves my purpose at this point.

Ah yes, some earlier zope 2.7 versions had that problem ... And at some
point, python 2.3.4 and then 2.3.5 became the recommended python versions.

So you're probably somewhere between 2.7 and 2.7.3 ... 2.7.4 prefers python
2.3.4.

You can always do a "grep -r "2.7" *" from the root of your Zope
installation, see if it's in there somewhere?

I believe there is a VERSION.txt file, but it probably is the containing the
bad version identifier.

OK. Can you give a high-level summary of what you did?  I thought of
using heartbeat to detect loss of connection, but I'm not sure what I
could do on failure short of restarting Zope.

Reinitialize the zope admin password? or just create a zope admin user

(Zope must be turned off first, you must have a shell acces to do that)

Do you have a firewall between Zope and ZEO?

Usually, the OS can inform both ends of a connection when
the connection is torn down.
However, some firewalls tear a connection down in a way that
the endpoints do not get informed.

We had to implement a keep alive mechanism to prevent our firewall
from behaving in this nasty way.

"zope.app" (and everything below) is Zope3 and not yet
actively used in Zope2's "ZPublisher". Especially, it should not

I'm not sure what part REST folks don't seem to get regarding PUT.

But in any case, I have not been able to get PUT to work in a 
PythonScript in Zope 2.7.2 because PythonScript objects have a PUT 
method that assumes it's a DAV upload.

PythonScript.py line 368 or so


def PUT(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE):
""" Handle HTTP PUT requests """
self.dav__init(REQUEST, RESPONSE)
self.dav__simpleifhandler(REQUEST, RESPONSE, refresh=1)
self.write(REQUEST.get('BODY', ''))
RESPONSE.setStatus(204)
return RESPONSE


Plus that method is protected by "Change Python Scripts" permission as 
well.

I'm not surprised you had problems with PCGI, it was known to be
extremely slow. AFAIK it ran zope in single-threaded mode so
concurrency was terrible. 

It sounds like you have concluded that, because FCGI is faster than
PCGI, then FCGI must also be faster than mod_rewrite / mod_proxy.
That's just not logical.

p.s. If you're having session problems and read conflicts with 2.6, 
you should strongly consider upgrading to *at least* 2.7.3 and maybe 2.8.
Heavy use of sessioning is still not perfect (see Dennis Allison's
recent threads), but it is *much* better since 2.7.3.
In addition, ReadConflictErrors are greatly reduced since the

[Zope] Help with Apache and Plone & Zope Intranet configurations

2005-11-28 Thread Daniel Berhane
We are in the process of setting up access control for our new Intranet 
which is Plone and Zope application running on port 8080. The access 
control should allow all our company users within the Firewall read 
access to the Intranet server without login. Outside the Firewall, all 
users have to authenticate to have read access.


We are using Apache modules mod_auth_ldap for access control and 
mod_rewrite to map the URL and into a shorter friendly domain name with 
the standard http port 80. The mod_auth_ldap configuration and 
mod_rewrite configuration work well separately but create problems when 
we try to put them together. The main problem, we have is the 
authentication directives work only under the context of "directory" and 
because the Plone & Zope is a separate application server running under 
a different port, the mod_rewrite module can not be run under the 
context of "directory". Please have a look at the current Apache 
configuration below.  The mod_rewrite part works OK but no 
authentication happens. There may be another solution to the problem and 
I would be grateful to hear your comments and suggestions. I know the 
information I've given you may not be detailed enough, but I will be 
happy to discuss it with you if you need more details ...





ServerName intranet.mycompany.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/intranet.mycompany.com:80/Plone/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[L,P]




order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 172.24

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Company Intranet"
LDAP_Debug On
LDAP_Server ldap.company.com
LDAP_Connect_Timeout 1000
Base_DN "o=company"
require valid-user
Satisfy any





thanks,
Daniel.

I don't have exakt numbers. We started with pcgi and had heavy problems 
under load. They disapeared with the fastCGI module coming wird zope 2.6
i gues. I ve tried mod_proxy back than but had many problems. I can not 
test on the Production system as there are 4 users on the system and
we have enougth Problems with Readconflictes and Session problems.

Yes but if its deprecated it can disapear from any new version. And thats 
an situation i'm not very comfortable with. 

> You are of course free to use it as long as you need.

I know. I will read me in the FCGIServer and see if I can understand how 
its work. But my time is Limited. (Running and developing a portal for i
4 user with 3 Fulltime workers isn't that easy).

Yeah, if POST and GET are desired to have semantic differences, your
code will have to explicitly check request['REQUEST_METHOD'].

Sorry, I have to call "Bullshit" on the assertion that mod_proxy  
raises the load in any horrible way. I have been using Zope for more  
than 6 years and no one has ever made this claim or provided proof  
that this is so.

Sure I object. Why should perfectly working code be removed. There is 
no alternativ for heavy loaded sites which need integration of apache 
and zope. mod_proxy is no alternativ because it raises the load even 
further.

The deprecation warning should point out that mod_rewrite is the

Re: [Zope] Re: Zope's Webdav port for RESTful web service

2005-11-28 Thread David Pratt
Hi. Thanks Tres and Sascha for replies. Sascha, I think this is right 
way to go and will make a product to do this and put the templates into 
skins.  As far as URL's, I was hoping to do something like:


http://mydomain.com/folder_to_resource/resource_id

but I  guess it will be enough to append to the url to trigger the 
method(s) Iike:


http://mydomain.com/folder_to_resource/resource_id/get_resource
http://mydomain.com/folder_to_resource/resource_id/modify_resource
etc..

I am not using xhtml for my exchange but another xml format.

I was originally thinking of using a different port for this which is 
reason for possible use of webdav port instead of regular port.


Regards,
David

Well, it's not "a way to do it", it's *the* way.


Thats a real good argument. There is no *the* way. Every situation
is different and having as mutch possibilities as possible is allways the
best way to do it.


I highly doubt that your assertion about using more connections than
just one is a problem, under any circumstance. All very large
production sites that I ever dealt with use mod_rewrite/mod_proxy. It
simply is not a problem. Or do you have proof?


Im runnig a very large site with 4 users and a peak arround 60
Requests per second. Having to call connect end all the routines that
come with it   is quite an increased load. Why. FastCGI work perfectly
and efficiently.  Thats exactly the usecase Fastcgi was developed for.

In none of the Postings is an reason why FastCGI ist bad and therefore
not  supported in the future. Just to say "so it is" is not an Answer.

So my question is still there.

Our perception of reality seems to differ a lot.

Setting up hybrid sites with RewriteRules / mod_rewrite and VHM in Zope
is incredible easy, much easier than configuring fastCGI in httpd.conf.
(And I'm not even counting having to compile fastcgi and hooking it into
apache.)

In helping relative newbies (to zope|apache) to configure their "zope
gehind apache" setup on #zope (irc.freenode.net)I found out that life
is much easier with 2 rewriterules. You will need rewriterules anyway
if you want to force /manage access to https. And afer the rewrite rule
"witch" was running, "zope behind apache" support on #zope has dwindled
down a lot.

This is the fun part. Only a couple of weeks ago I grew bored having to
restart / reinvestigate / sacrifice dead chicken for our one legacy zope
instance that was run through fastcgi. Not really high load on the
server, but high load on the admin due to apache? zope? getting stuck 
somehow.

Experiences may differ, see above. For me it's "fastcgi, never again". 
It likely was great at some point in the past, but there is better stuff
now. I value the undisturbed time that I can advance our company codebase
too high, I don't want to be interrupted all the time with "XY hangs".

As someone else mentioned, it's up to you!

Im runnig a very large site with 4 users and a peak arround 60 Requests
per second. Having to call connect end all the routines that come with it  
is quite an increased load. Why. FastCGI work perfectly and efficiently. 
Thats exactly the usecase Fastcgi was developed for. 

In none of the Postings is an reason why FastCGI ist bad and therefore not 
supported in the future. Just to say "so it is" is not an Answer. 

So my question is still there.

Yes, that's my point. That's why we don't need added persistency.

pytz provides some extensive timezone support. Not sure what the extra
utilities are, but I don't have a lot of complicated datetime use cases
so I could be missing stuff here.

Well, I'm not so worried about the past but about the future. I'm
currently diving into the matter by writing doctests. If we find that
DateTime and datetime.datetime are semantically incompatible, we'll have
to think up a different strategy. We'll see :).

This is not the recommended solution (at least not since several years). 
There are no plans to remove FastCGI but it is no longer recommended and 
supported. But this reminds me that we could officially deprecated it and 
remove it safely after two release cycles (Zope 2.11).

I'm not worried about how it works now. DateTime is buggy and it's
behaviour has undergone several subtle changes, sometimes for the

Agreed. Deprecation is a way of deliberately killing you softly :).
Seriously, there's no going forward without getting rid of stuff.
Deprecation is a good way of dealing with getting rid of stuff without
having currently working code broken instantly.

There are sensible ways of upgrading the ZODB. Zope 3 has had it since
3.0 (called generations) and they've been working reasonably well for
these things.

> Didn't see any mention of fixing ZClasses (not sure if that's an issue).

I'm not sure it is either, but this would be something to be discussed
in the proposal discussion process, I guess. But now that you've
mentioned it, I will investigate and possibly include notions in the
proposal.

I don't think that'll work. I've thought about just letting DateTime die
and switch to datetime.datetime over completely. However, code that
expects Zope to return DateTime-compatible objects would break.

I think we need Zope to use some frankendatetime (a datetime.datetime
that also supports the old DateTime API) throughout the deprecation
period. Whenever people make a call to the old DateTime API on a
frankendatetime object, they'll get a deprecation warning telling them
to use the datetime.datetime API instead. After the deprecation phase is
over, Zope 2 can return pure datetime.datetime objects.

By the way, this is really not a thread for zope@zope.org but for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] From the beginning, actually. I suggest we move all
further discussion there.

Hey Chris, hey Hermann, hey others,

I've secretly being working on some evil plans to make DateTime more
understandable so that we can work out a migration strategy. In my
strong opinion, Zope should not maintain its own date/time
implementation and I don't even see the need for a zope.datetime like
Chris suggests. Why does it need to be persistent? Datetimes are dull
values, they should just pickle nicely. If someone needs more than
datetime.datetime and pytz, I would be very interested in their usecase...

Anyway, my long-term plans are roughly this:

1. Create some extensive tests about how DateTime currently works. I'm
currently working on this to see whether any further procedure makes sense.

2. If we find it's possible, we rid the current DateTime implementation
and recreate the DateTime class by subclassing datetime.datetime. For
backwards compatability, we make sure that old pickles can be revived
and that the old DateTime API is supported for two more Zope releases.

3. After two releases we get rid of the old DateTime API and will
provide a script to migrate old DateTime pickles to datetime.datetime
pickles in the ZODB.

I have a proposal for this in works, but you guys made me blurt it out
prematurely :).

By the way, I only skimmed over this thread, but I haven't actually
found anywhere explained what Hermann's problem with strftime was and a
detailed suggestion on how his "rewrite" would take place... Maybe it'd
be a good idea to adopt the proposal process we have for Zope 3.

Please don't confuse server-side code (like DTML) with browser-side

Hi Tino,

I looked it up in Google. Too me it just looks like a regular buzzword
accelerator. You do what you have always done, you just put in a megaton
of new acronyms and buzzwords. Instant profit!

To the orginal poster:
I bet the best way to implement this is by making python scripts and 
page templates that return xml. No need to mess with webdav. No big deal
