Is there a way to suppress https errors?

I am trying to automate a daily download of a file from an https server. Regular browsers have no trouble accessing the site. In rev however, the following error gets thrown instead error -Error with certificate at depth: 1 issuer = /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

Re: use-revolution Digest, Vol 69, Issue 42

Completely without running anything, it would seem more efficient to divide one char by another. If the result is anything other than 1, it's different. I have no idea if these are alphas or numerics, if alpha then convert using chartonum. Also, try commenting out your status update or

Multi-cores and standalones

Does anyone know how or if multiple standalones use memory space or cores? I realize they are not multi-threaded or multi-core aware. But let's say you had five or six standalones running. Are they all in the same space, using the same core? Or does the system dispatch and allocate them? I

Multi-cores and standalones

Thanks Jim, that's issue 1 out of the way. Now for the mystery of how apps are handled in multicore environments. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your

RE: Pasting from Excel 2.9 - kray

Ken, That is very odd that you got 2.8.1 to work with Excel 2002. Mind you I am on 2.8.1 with Excel 2003. The same issue presents with OpenOffice though regardless of Rev version. I guess I never had the combo of 2002/2.8.1 since I had upgraded to 2003 before I had 2.8.1. Multi-version

Re:Re:Re: 2.9 Pasting into Excel - new issue

Bill, I installed OpenOffice 2.4 Calc on a WinXP SP 2 machine and can confirm the same copy/paste row/column concatenation bug exists there as well. So this is not an Excel/Win only issue, it is something peculiar about the way Rev is dealing with this format of copy paste on Windows. The

RE: Pasting from Excel

To clarify, yes, the problem in copying any range of rows and columns from Excel and then trying to paste them into a field is that tabs are not preserved. I am trying to paste from Excel, to Rev. It works fine pasting from Rev to Excel. This is on Windows. I was keeping my fingers crossed

Re: Re: 2.9 - Pasting from Excel

Bill, It is also important to note that LF or CR is not preserved either. If for example you copy a run of cells from Excel in a column (multiple rows), they will also run together when pasted into a rev field. This has been the behavior forever in MC and Rev as far as I know, so

2.9 - Pasting from Excel

Hi Folks, This is likely to seem ridiculously simple. I use Excel a lot during the course of the day. Sometimes I need to cut and paste data from multiple rows and columns on an ad hoc basis and take it into Rev. In prior versions of Rev the result was text not separated by tabs as you

PDF files handling

Ken, Andre Thanks for taking the time on this vexing PDF issue. Either solution does appear to work some of the time at least. The better formatted papers that have standard form (JEL classifcation, etc) can easily be read by Andre's solution. Sometimes by Ken's as well although many papers

PDF files handling

Folks, This may have been answered long ago. Maybe not. What I have is a collection now approaching thousands of academic papers. I would like to be able to read the titles of these papers (usually nicely isolated on page 1) into rev and associate the title with the file name. In other

Oh what the heck, another CGI question

Hey guys. This is going to sound really dumb. My ISP runs FreeBSD and so I need to run the old 2.2 engine. Not a big deal since I won't be stressing it too much. However, this is the problem. I don't have a BSD system to boot the binary up into to license the thing. How the heck do you

Oh what the heck, another CGI question

Andre, Thanks for the quick response. The CGI tutorial was indeed excellent. It does turn out BSD has a 2.2.1 version of the engine going. One thing my ISP noted is that there were some odd problems with the libraries used when the BSD version was compiled. This is not my thing but I am

Sarah, Sean or another time bandit - help needed on dates calcs

OK, I have persnickety date issues (thankfully just dates) which I think Sarah or Sean or another time bandit may be able to help with. Here is the issue. I have a collection of date pairs that look perfectly innocent, something like 8/11/2003 to 8/11/2004 for which I need to calculate the

Re: MatchText, MatchChunk and the needle in the haystack

Jim, Dave, Devin Thanks for your help in making me think harder about this. I literally woke up out of a dream this morning and knew right away what was wrong with the script. There was one error that would have persistently been a problem that I have fixed now. In the interests of anyone

Re:Another Export Snapshot Problem

Dave, Oddly the code only worked when I removed the of window myWindowID reference. Then it was fine. Otherwise I got the same error that you did. I am not sure if this is a bug or if export won't take a window id param for some reason. ___

Re: Re: MatchText, MatchChunk and the needle in the haystack

Jim, Thanks for the script snippet. It didn't quite work as shown, but it did get me to think about the problem more carefully. I came up with this: put -Jan-,-Feb-,-Mar-,-Apr-,-May-,-Jun-,-Jul-,-Aug-,-Sep-,-Oct-,-Nov-,-Dec- into mthStrings -- i seemed to need to separate the routine

Re: Re:MatchText, MatchChunk and the needle in the haystack

Dave, Sadly it does not impact the outcome. Mind you I tried it just in case. I have played with all the vars that I can think of and it does nothing. It does not even appear to matter (as I thought) if there are multiple months (i.e -Jan-) of the same type in a row (thought it might be

RE:MatchText, MatchChunk and the needle in the haystack

Dave and Jim, Thanks for the suggestions. I think I have now exhausted all but the ugly walk through by hand and find the errors/solutions. For the record: 1) The textBlock length is not changing since I am not deleting anything from the block (or adding). I am using pos to advance the

Sending Web Queries to Excel

I have been looking at Ken Ray's scripts for exchanging data from a worksheet to and from RunRev and Excel. I also see that Gary Rathbone had a tutorial on Web Queries and Excel but I cannot find that information anywhere on it (Gary site appears to be gone). Does anyone have any idea where

MatchText, MatchChunk and the needle in the haystack

Folks, I have been given a batch of text files that have had their delimiters stripped off (by accident) leaving a single string of text to parse back into record delimited form. And yes, of course, there is no back-up so it is the strings or nothing. I really know very little about using

Re: Problem with BinaryEncode and variable params

Mark, Thanks for the work around, however it would be nice if we could get to the bottom of this and figure out why binaryEncode isn't taking the variable as it should. It ought to work, there are examples out there which did work seemingly in the past using this method. To be clear it is

Re: Re: BinaryEncode issues

Mark, Bernard Many thanks for taking the time to try this out. Oddly, your solutions work fine in the context discussed. The failure seems to be being caused (for no clearly obvious reason to me) by the nature of the entire script. How this can be I am not yet sure on, but I will let you

Problem with BinaryEncode and variable params

Folks, I am a bit baffled here. I have seen many sample scripts where variables are passed as parameter to binaryEncode (in my case, for imageData) but no matter how I try to pass the known numeric values, the compiler throws an error. For example: take a string of the form 0,206,0 as

Re: use-revolution Digest, Vol 31, Issue 20

Dan, Marielle At the risk of really opening the hornets nest, here is my 2 cents. Dan, I've actually known of you for multiple decades now -- way, way back in the dark days of HyperCard 1.0. The thing is this, I know you are a stand-up fellow and have done lots of great work for the community

graphic markers, can one set only one?

I was curious if it is possible to set only one marker in a polygon. why would I want to do this? In my application which is graphing, I need to set just one marker, in most cases the first or last vertex in the polygon. Ideally I'd want to be able to create and set the markers on any vertex

passing headers...help!

OK folks, this one is beyond my skills. How do I get Rev to send this URL properly to get the page back? I suspect it involves sending custom headers and such, but how do I know how the CGI expects the information?
