[twsocket] Re: Re: 2 questions concerning cookies (Francois PIETTE)
Mayby I should describe the problem better. (at the moment taking about using ordinary browser like IE) The situation is like this. I open an URL (http://blablabla.site.pl/?we=airstriker) which provides me with one and only one simple cookie which is generated by php script and looks like this: cookie_kod=773321; domain=blablabla.site.pl; path=/; (I know that it looks like this because I've chacked it with a different program) Ok, so as you can see this cookie is a short-time cookie because it doesn't provide an expiration time. So that meens it's 'alive' only till I close a session (normally it's when closing a browser or when writting a different URL in the browser after this one). When using a browser to open this URL which generated the cookie I get a page with a link to another site which is using this cookie. So when I normally click the link in the browser the cookie is being passed to another site by a new url (it's a php way of passing cookies) and it looks like this: http://blablabla.site.pl/?we=airstrikerkod=773321 (as you can see the only data that the cookie passes is that number generated by random) And that's how it look's like in a browser (f.i. IE). Now let's get back to your demo HttpTst and let's ask some questions again;) 1. You said: You can use any storage method you like to save the cookie. - I don't need to save this cookie on a disc because I don't need it after the session is closed so any other method to do this would be great (can you please write a really simple code how to do this because I am quite new to it? :( 2. How should it be done to simulate clicking a link? The idea is simple - it must be the same session - so how to keep the session alive after opening the first URL? And how to open the next URL in the same session? Or maybe the session is alive all the time till I close the HttpTst program? What's the answer? 3. Forgive me please my nooblike questions but I am quite new to the subject and sure would like to learn more;) Thx for help! -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] Help authoring tool: Time2help
Hi Francois I don't know anything about Time2Help, but I think Help Scribble from http://www.jgsoft.com may help.I've used it to document several components and it's pretty easy stuff.

But you may if you like :-) Cookies are just simple strings. You can store them into a simple TStringList. Or you can parse them when received and save the parsed values to a record or an object and use a TList or TObjectList to keep a list of those items for later use when sending more requests. 2. How should it be done to simulate clicking a link? Clicking on a link is simple getting the URL specified by the link. You use the Get or GetAsync method of the component. You must also search your cookie store to find any applicable cookie for the URL you are getting. The idea is simple - it must be the same session - so how to keep the session alive after opening the first URL? HTTP is sessionless. That's why cookies has been created. That is the cookie which maintain what we could call a session. The server send a cookie and the browser send it back with the next request (related to the path specified in the cookie). So the server know it is the same session. And how to open the next URL in the same session? Or maybe the session is alive all the time till I close the HttpTst program? What's the answer? The session is alive from the time you grab the cookie and as long as you send the cookie(s) along with any subsequent requests, no matter if the TCP session use for HTTP transport or you quit your program. The session live is only depending on the cookie being sent. Some server program doesn't enforce cookie expiration (that is they rely on the browser to stop sending an expired cookie), other also maintain an expiration date/time at server side (Better because someone can easily hack cookies). The server has no wayt to know that you quite your program or not. HTTP protocol specify that several request can be sent thru separate TCP sessions. IE use several TCP sessions simultaneously to speed up page loading (a web page is frequently a lot of requests). 3.

Re: [twsocket] E-Mail SmtpCli/MimeDec
1. Change the boundary detection to look for #10#13--boundary#10#13 instead of just --boundary#10#13. But this might be hard, because as far as I understood MimeDec, it already has the stream split into lines before testing for boundaries, and so it is not looking for --boundary#10#13, but for --boundary in the next string, which happens to be a line; in this case, it would need to combine with #2 below. InternalDecodeStream read the input stream and find line end (using only LF because so much messages are mal formed and use only LF instead of CR/LF pair). Of course if CR is there, it is processed transparently. Lines are processed by the magic of FNext variable which is a pointer to the next procedure to handle data pointed by FCurrentData. FNext is changed according to the state or stage of decoding. FNext point to procedures like ProcessHeaderLine, ProcessMessageLine, ProcessWaitBoundary, ... So there is a finite state machine whose state variable is FNext. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Of course if CR is there, it is processed transparently. This is easily explained -- a lot of people working on UNIX/Linux send \n at the end of a line in the socket stream, which in the UNIX world translates to only LF. It is easy and convenient to think that printing \n at the end of the line is the right thing to do, after all, that's the way to do it for any other output stream. But in most text-based, Internet protocols, this is wrong. I've seen many Perl and PHP scripts (like for webmail applications or error reporting tools) do this. The correct way, of course, is to send an explicit CRLF. dZ. -- I am a software developer; this is the path I have chosen.

Re: [twsocket] E-Mail SmtpCli/MimeDec
Thanx Francois. Would you think its better to implement a look-ahead, so that every time that a blank line is found, we check if the next line is a boundary before adding it to the output stream; or remove it from the output stream after a boundary is found? By the way, is the output stream a buffer, or a file stream? If its a file stream, then its probably written to disk already. Look-ahead is the way to go. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
