Re: OSX module file error when building standalone with LC 8 on mac

[James Hale via use-livecode]

Solved.

I had included an LC9 only widget in my stack. It obviously was not there in 
LC8 when I went to compile.
So it seems...

"There was an error while saving the
> standalone application
> Build failed for MacOSX x86-32: could not
> open module file"

is telling me the widget module was no where to be found (among the LC8 
resources.) 

I must have made the original stack in LC9 and forgot :-(


@Bob Thanks for your suggestions. I had actually tried them all.

Wherever the array is getting its time data, that's where local time is

Mark, in your situation, you and the server are in the same timezone so

That just sounds wrong. If anything, it should be the other way around.



It still does not make any sense why a timezone comes into play at all.


Timezone enters into the picture because if you ask the time, and then 
convert it to a readable format, you wouldn't expect to see UTC time 
unless you happened to live in that time zone. You're asking the server 
"what time is it where you live?" and asking the mac the same thing. The 
answers may or may not differ. If you want to be able to compare 
timestamps then "the internet date" will give you UTC time for both.

We don't yet know the location of the server, but even better you can 
find out what time zone it's set to by logging in via SSH and running:


date +%Z

If you're running the convert command on the server I think you'll find 
the converted output differs from your local conversion by the number of 
time zones between you and the server.


I took the time to write this, maybe worth reading and trying the 
exercise I included near the end:

The beauty of "the seconds" is that the value you get is in GMT, 
regardless of where the machine is at the moment that value of 
obtained.  It does the offset according to the locale settings on the 
local machine.


"The seconds" and "the internet date" are the only two forms that take 
local time zone settings into account.


The benefit with this approach is that either can be used in 
applications where usage may span time zones but you need to maintain 
time stamps that will work across any time zones.



For example, suppose I'm in Los Angeles and I share a server app with 
one user in New York, another in Brisbane, and another in Edinburgh.


GMT offsets for each are:

Edinburgh: 0
New York: -4h
Los Angeles: -7h
Brisbane: +10h (they're across the International Dateline)

The "internet date" format reflects this explicitly, noting the GMT 
offset at the end of the string it returns:


  Fri, 17 Mar 2017 09:09:03 -0700

But "the seconds" of course is just an integer, so while the GMT 
offset has also been accounted for it's less evident.


If all four of us get "the seconds" at the same moment, the value we 
get will be the same, in GMT time.


But since only one of us is actually in the GMT time zone, how does it 
know?  That's where the local system settings come into play.


When *obtaining* either "the seconds" or "the internet date", local 
time zone is used to create a value that can be understood globally.


When *converting* either "the seconds" or "the internet date", LC uses 
time conversion routines dependent on the system locale settings of 
the machine where the conversion is taking place.


With "the internet date" the time zone is explicitly included, so it 
adjusts from that GMT offset to bring it into alignment with the GMT 
offset in the local OS.


With "the seconds", the value is already adjusted to be GMT, so 
conversion adjusts it again for the local settings to deliver an 
accurate representation of that moment in local time.



In the example above, all four users would get the same value from 
querying "the seconds" at the same moment, no matter where they are in 
the world.


And when my software needs to display the date and/or time in 
human-readable form, the "convert" command takes local settings into 
account to deliver an accurate representation that makes sense in 
local time.


So if I modify a record right now, in my system it'll show March 17 at 
9:18 AM.  But when my Brisbane use sees the modification date that 
I've stored using "the seconds", he'll see March 18 at 2:18 AM, which 
is the same global moment.



In short:

The key to getting accurate reflections of time is to store either 
"the seconds" or "the internet date" on the server (or really, 
anywhere timestamps may be shared across time zones), and then do any 
conversions needed for human readability locally.


If you do a conversion from either of those two formats on the server 
to any other format, the result will be correct for the server's 
locale, but unless you're nearby probably not correct for you.



Quick Exercise:

It took me a while (and some experimentation) to appreciate that "the 
seconds" reflects GMT just as "the internet date" does, something I 
learned from Sarah Reichelt back in the day.


One quick way to verify this is to check while changing your local 
machine's Date and Time settings:


Set to Los Angeles: 1489768020
5 seconds later,
Set to Montreal:1489768025
10 seconds after that,
Set to London:  1489768035

Except for the few seconds it took me to click on my Locale map in my 
Control Panel, the numbers are effectively all the same.


Once I became confident with that, I've used it for everything on 
servers ever since (except logging - I like the built-in readability 
of "internet date" in logs).

Getting the JSON library into a standalone

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi,

I am trying to convert my app into a standalone, but it depends on the
JSONtoArray and ArrayToJSON functions.

Even though I am including the JSON library in the standalone inclusions,
it is not getting copied over when it makes the standalone.

In the IDE, there is an extensions folder, with a subfolder called
com.livecode.library.json. I see nothing like that in the subfolders of the
standalone.

This is in LC 8.1.2.

Can anyone confirm that it is not able to include the JSON functions? Are
there any simple workarounds?

The beauty of "the seconds" is that the value you get is in GMT, 
regardless of where the machine is at the moment that value of obtained. 
 It does the offset according to the locale settings on the local machine.


"The seconds" and "the internet date" are the only two forms that take 
local time zone settings into account.


The benefit with this approach is that either can be used in 
applications where usage may span time zones but you need to maintain 
time stamps that will work across any time zones.



For example, suppose I'm in Los Angeles and I share a server app with 
one user in New York, another in Brisbane, and another in Edinburgh.


GMT offsets for each are:

Edinburgh: 0
New York: -4h
Los Angeles: -7h
Brisbane: +10h (they're across the International Dateline)

The "internet date" format reflects this explicitly, noting the GMT 
offset at the end of the string it returns:


  Fri, 17 Mar 2017 09:09:03 -0700

But "the seconds" of course is just an integer, so while the GMT offset 
has also been accounted for it's less evident.


If all four of us get "the seconds" at the same moment, the value we get 
will be the same, in GMT time.


But since only one of us is actually in the GMT time zone, how does it 
know?  That's where the local system settings come into play.


When *obtaining* either "the seconds" or "the internet date", local time 
zone is used to create a value that can be understood globally.


When *converting* either "the seconds" or "the internet date", LC uses 
time conversion routines dependent on the system locale settings of the 
machine where the conversion is taking place.


With "the internet date" the time zone is explicitly included, so it 
adjusts from that GMT offset to bring it into alignment with the GMT 
offset in the local OS.


With "the seconds", the value is already adjusted to be GMT, so 
conversion adjusts it again for the local settings to deliver an 
accurate representation of that moment in local time.



In the example above, all four users would get the same value from 
querying "the seconds" at the same moment, no matter where they are in 
the world.


And when my software needs to display the date and/or time in 
human-readable form, the "convert" command takes local settings into 
account to deliver an accurate representation that makes sense in local 
time.


So if I modify a record right now, in my system it'll show March 17 at 
9:18 AM.  But when my Brisbane use sees the modification date that I've 
stored using "the seconds", he'll see March 18 at 2:18 AM, which is the 
same global moment.



In short:

The key to getting accurate reflections of time is to store either "the 
seconds" or "the internet date" on the server (or really, anywhere 
timestamps may be shared across time zones), and then do any conversions 
needed for human readability locally.


If you do a conversion from either of those two formats on the server to 
any other format, the result will be correct for the server's locale, 
but unless you're nearby probably not correct for you.



Quick Exercise:

It took me a while (and some experimentation) to appreciate that "the 
seconds" reflects GMT just as "the internet date" does, something I 
learned from Sarah Reichelt back in the day.


One quick way to verify this is to check while changing your local 
machine's Date and Time settings:


Set to Los Angeles: 1489768020
5 seconds later,
Set to Montreal:1489768025
10 seconds after that,
Set to London:  1489768035

Except for the few seconds it took me to click on my Locale map in my 
Control Panel, the numbers are effectively all the same.


Once I became confident with that, I've used it for everything on 
servers ever since (except logging - I like the built-in readability of 
"internet date" in logs).

I don't understand how the local time comes into play when converting a
constant number of seconds.  The resulting date should be a constant as
well.

What am I missing?


That seems reasonable to me.

  I haven't been following this discussion


"get the time" will get a value based on the system's local time zone, 
so what you're thinking of as a constant is actually dependent on the 
system location. It looks to me like the server is three time zones away 
from the mac. If you don't want time zones to enter into the calculations

Re: (off) dropbox down

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

Mike Kerner wrote:

> For everyone who does anything with dropbox, it's been down since at
> least 2AM EDT.

For this morning:

Network outages for popular services can often be tracked using 
third-party tools.  Searching Google for "is dropbox down" led me to 
this report confirming that many others have reported similar issues 
with Dropbox today:


http://downdetector.com/status/dropbox


For this afternoon:

Nextcloud - can't say enough good things about it.  Free and open 
source, available here:


https://nextcloud.com/

[Pardon the long pitch, but it's a free package and a really good one:]

Ever since I started using it I've stopped using Dropbox, Google Drive, 
and other services I'd used in the past.  Why?  Better sync, more 
flexible options, and completely under my own control all the way down 
to how much storage space I want.


Nextcloud is a PHP package that installs under Apache.  As such it's not 
yet an end-user consumer product (a partnership with Western Digital is 
in the process of producing one), but is very well suited for anyone 
comfortable with setting up Apache.


Dual-licensed like LiveCode, the GPL edition is probably more than 
adequate for the needs of most readers here (though the Enterprise 
edition has some components that may be worth considering if you're 
running a larger business).


You install Nextcloud on any VPS or dedicated server, and once installed 
you're limited only by your server's disk capacity.


You can set up any number of user accounts, establish disk quotas for 
them if needed, and share files between them or even publicly. You can 
sync any number of folders, and synced folders maintain versions when 
files change so you can revert to any earlier version at any time.


Nextcloud has native clients for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

I originally tried it as a solution for syncing my LiveCode Plugins 
folder across all the machines I work on, and as the only option with 
native clients for all three OS families that alone made it an instant 
favorite.


Since then I've discovered that it includes a considerable number of 
apps, included an embedded version of LibreOffice, contact, photo 
management, etc., with more available from their third-party collection.


I had the pleasure of meeting the project founder and director, Frank 
Karlitschek, at the SoCal Linux Expo a couple weeks ago, along with the 
project's community manager and head of marketing, Jos Poortvliet.  Both 
fun-loving, hard-working people, committed to the vision of putting 
people back in control of their cloud systems.


Until they get a turnkey consumer device shipping, Nextcloud may not be 
for everyone just yet.


But for developers in an increasingly interconnected world that already 
has us configuring Apache, Nextcloud can be a very good solution for 
cloud storage and more.


If nothing else, consider:

When a public cloud service like Dropbox goes down, your only recourse 
is to wait and pray.


If your Nextcloud server goes down (and mine never has in the many years 
I've been running it), chances are you'll just reboot and be back in 
business in minutes.

Re: SFTP with .PPK file

[Stephen MacLean via use-livecode]

Hi Charles,

Again, thank you for all your help!!

I made the change below, and indeed didn’t get the error any more. However, I 
still wasn’t getting anything returned.

I ran your debug stack along side it and got this:

Hostname in DNS cache was stale, zapped
  Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
TCP_NODELAY set
Connected to secure.xx.us (xx.xx.xx.xx) port 22 (#3)
SSH MD5 fingerprint: 
SSH authentication methods available: publickey
Using SSH private key file '-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY——

-END RSA PRIVATE KEY-
'
SSH public key authentication failed: Unable to extract public key from private 
key file: Unable to open private key file

Not sure about were to go from here… I redid the export of the .ppk in PuttyGen 
and still get the same thing. There is no password protecting the key.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve MacLean

The seconds are usually a very good choice for their compactness and 
ease of calculation, and more so because the value we get is in GMT 
based on the offset from host OS.


What this should mean is that you can convert values obtained from 
"the seconds" and get a good date/time regardless of which time zone 
you're in.


So seconds are usually ideal (along with "internet date") for network 
applications such as the one you're working on.


But for the conversion to take your local system into account, you'll 
need to do the conversion locally.


If you're doing the conversion on the server, the date/time will 
reflect the time zone settings in the server OS.

Re: SFTP with .PPK file

[Charles Warwick via use-livecode]

Hi Steve,

My apologies... there is a mistake in the documentation for tsNet which 
I only just noticed.


The array element for the SSH private key should be 
tSettings["ssh_private_key"], not tSettings["ssh_priv_key"].


So if you change the following line:

put tPrivKey into tSettings["ssh_priv_key"]

to:

put tPrivKey into tSettings["ssh_private_key"]

you should be right to go!

(I will get this fixed in the documentation for the next version)

Best Regards,

Charles

Another thing to try is to download the following simple stack:

https://downloads.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet/debug_liburl.livecode

Run that stack at the same time as your own, and click "Start Debug" 
before you try make the SSH connection.


It should provide some additional debug information that may shed more 
light on what is actually happening.

Hi Steve,

It looks like you are using a SSH private key in PuTTY format 
(.ppk).  tsNet requires it to be in OpenSSH format.


That is easy to fix though, you can convert the .ppk with PuttyGen.

To do this, open PuttyGen and load the .ppk file.  Then select 
"Conversions" -> "Export OpenSSH key".


Apart from that, just make sure that your call to tsNetGet includes 
the full path of the file you want to download.


Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Charles

   put URL "binfile:D:\private.ppk" into tPrivKey

Again, I can access the sftp site with no problems using the

Any suggestions??

In LC, I’ve set the CABundle to the file, but am not sure this is

Any help would be appreciated.

AW: AW: tsneterr: (6) could not resolve host - can anyone else test this?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

FYI. I have used the "#" sign in a URL PW, which is not allowed in a URL
string, as Charles pointed out. Only because of an incorrect handling in the
curl library as part of tsnet, my program has worked over the years.
Urlencode(myPW) will do it for the future. So, better never use "#" in a
URL!

Panos from LC solved the mystery. In my URL the password has a special
character, which can't be handled in 8.1.2 and 8.1.3 on Windows. When doing
urlencode(myPW), it also works in 8.1.3 The why is not known Tiemo

I have not been able to replicate this issue here, but I am using an older
version of Windows.

Is there anyone that can try this on various versions of Windows to see if
this problem is specific to Win 10?

Try typing the following into the message box:

put URL
"http://test_auth:test_p...@downloads.techstrategies.com.au/test_auth/";

If it is successful, you should see "Authentication successful." appear in
the message box.

Thanks,
