Re: repost : Printer selection issue

I think what you describe is a "32-bit" thing. the code SET CURRENT PRINTER("_192_168_1_33") PRINT SETTINGS(Page setup dialog) shows "any printer" on v16 32-bit, the default printer on v16 64-bit. - even using 32-bit, once you have chosen the printer in the page setup dialog, and stored that

Hi Randy, One of the things that the "security scan" is probably finding is that HTTP TRACE is enabled. Starting with v16 this has been disabled by default and there is now an option to enable it. http://livedoc.4d.com/4Dv16/help/Title/en/page8822.html#3101893 I suggest testing with v16

Re: DDOS Attack simulator - Some Results

I think for something like LOIC (or any DDOS) you will need to implement some sort of firewall protection. It is very likely the actual request being sent to the web server is malformed, which could explain why you are getting 5xx errors in the weblog. From what i see online the best way to

in general, it is best to instruct the rendering engine to decide how to align objects, rather than to compute the exact coordinates yourself. "text-anchor" (start, middle, end) should take care of horizontal align in , but vertical align is going to be difficult since 4D does not support
