DrRacket and the browser can be configured independently ... at least 
for a known proxy.    DrRacket's setting is in preferences under 
"browser".  However, if your student is on campus (or at work?), he/she 
may be behind an upstream system-wide firewall or proxy which is unknown.


Commercial firewalls can read request headers and pass/fail based on the 
"user agent" string so as to allow known browsers and other vetted 
applications to operate while rejecting requests from unvetted applications.


I don't know if DrRacket even sends a "user agent" string.

Re: [racket-users] package manager woes on Windows 10?

[Shriram Krishnamurthi]

For what it's worth, one of my TAs now informs me he got the same
error on macOS
11.0 Beta.

He says he just has the standard macOS firewall. He whitelisted DrRacket
and it persists.

I asked him to try installing Racket 7.7 and installing the package through
that; same issue.

He was only able to get it working from the command-line.

Re: [racket-users] package manager woes on Windows 10?

[George Neuner]

From the error message, it looks like a firewall/proxy issue.

It definitely is not the package itself:  I'm still on Racket 7.7, but 
it works for me.  I tried both with 64 and 32 bit BC on Win10 1909 - the 
package and its dependencies install for me without errors  [but I don't 
know how to test the install  8-)]

Windows so we can't even reproduce this. He has restarted DrRacket, 
confirmed he can connect to the repo via his browser, tried several 
times (so it's not intermittent network outage), confirmed he's 
copying-and-pasting the URL.


It's probably something obvious that I'm just not spotting. Extra eyes 
would be much appreciated given that the clock's ticking on his homework!

Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Philip McGrath]

There was a `pkg-name` info.rkt item added in 20672cd
,
but it only seems to be used by `make-dirs-catalog`
.
Maybe it should also be used by "raco pkg install" unless "--name" is given
explicitly?

Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Sam Tobin-Hochstadt]

For that, I recommend "Open require path" in the File menu in DrRacket.

I'm curious why the Package Manager doesn't also show the collection name
(or plural)? Wouldn't I need that to trace backwards? "This program in
#lang foo is behaving oddly, I wonder what foo's source is" — find the
collection in the PM, trace back to the package, locate the source…?

Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Sam Tobin-Hochstadt]

This is all as expected. The package name is mystery-language-uploader, but
the collection name is mystery-language. The info.rkt entry controls the
latter but not the former [1]. If you're linking it on the command line,
you can use a command line option to specify the package name to use.

[1] This is necessary, since you need to know the package name in general
to find the info.rkt file in the first place.

[racket-users] Frequently-Asked-Questions on Racket Wiki

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

Hi Racketeers, 

I’ve made a little FAQ on the wiki

https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions

please let me know if you see any problems.

Kind regards,

[racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Shriram Krishnamurthi]

This is almost certainly intended and/or I may have totally misunderstood 
the semantics of the info file, but this feels a bit confusing:

I have a package on my filesystem in the directory 
mystery-languages-uploader. The "-uploader" part is a local name that's not 
intended for public consumption, so its info.rkt contains this:

(define collection "mystery-languages")

Sure enough, I am able to use the content of that directory using, e.g.,

#lang mystery-languages/…

However, the Package Manager only shows an entry (in the "Name" column) for 
"mystery-languages-uploader", not "mystery-languages". (The "Source" column 
shows the right folder, and the search box under "Currently Installed" does 
not show any other package of similar name.)

I would have expected the collection setting to cause the Name showing in 
the Package Manager to be just "mystery-languages", which would also help 
me understand where that #lang is coming from.

Shriram
