Re: [Zope] AArgh. Zope-2_2-branch and head of CVS breaks SQLMethods.
Aha! Nailed it. It's the 1.131 version of OFS/Application.py
cvs log entry:
revision 1.131
date: 2000/08/02 17:31:54; author: brian; state: Exp; lines: +71 -46
branches: 1.131.4;
Merged fix for products with old-style initialization not being properly
filtered by permission in the filtered add list.
Ok, the problem is that when it sees an initialize() method, it
stops looking for other stuff. ZSQLMethods has a __methods__
thing, tho. Oops. Patch appended to make it always look for
__methods__.
Note that it doesn't break ZSQLMethods from working, just from being added
or edited.
Argh. This would've been much easier to figure out if I hadn't managed
to confuse myself (tooo many installations of zope, all slightly different -
need to make it better :)

[Zope] anyone seen browsers map '_' to '+AF8-' ?
We're seeing a really strange occasional error crop up in our web logs - periodic requests for an image with an _ in the name (e.g. hdr_left) get mutilated to hdr+AF8-left. Out of the last 400,000 requests, there's been about 110 of these errors. There appears to be nothing much in common in the requests, except that the browser is always a variant of IE 5.0 (not 5.01, 5.5, or 4.0, or anything else). IE 5.0 only makes up 35% of our hits, so it's unlikely to be just random chance.

[Zope] wierdness with 2.2, Security, and manage_addProduct[' ']..
Ok, this is driving me slightly nutso. Why won't this work in Zope 2.2? Make a DTML method containing: I cannot find a way to make the security system let this through. method is owned and executed by a user who is a manager, no wierd permissions, nothing. I get a permission failure trying to look up and access the 'manage_addVocabulary' method. The example of ZCatalog.Vocabulary is simply chosen because it is a standard product that is a) a python product, b) using the "new-style" __init__ method (as opposed to the ancient one). The actual product I'm seeing the problem on is a bit more complex, but Vocab will do. It's been driving me insane for most of this evening - I'm positive you _used_ to be able to do stuff like this, and it works when the product is a ZClass-based one...

[Zope] Ownership of ZClass methods in Zope2.2?
I have a problem in Zope2.2 - I've upgraded from a previous version, and there's a bunch of methods that used to work which now fail with access control issues (even when run as manager). My current theory is that it's because the DTML methods of the ZClass (or it's constructor method, which is trying to do some other funky stuff) is unowned. Hooowever, the DTML methods don't have an 'owner' type tab - should they? Worse yet, going to ...method/manage_owner, and clicking the 'Take Ownership' button brings up the Zope 'Help' window on Ownership. (this is netscape 4.7 on linux) Help?

this way).

[Zope] MountedFileStorage 0.02 now available.
MountedFileStorage 0.02 is now available. Changes in Release 0.02: New help files. You can now use MountedFileStorage to create new ZODB files. Nitty-gritty is in the SubApplication.py file - quite possibly useful to people doing other sorts of mounted storages. Note the patch in no_repeat_metatypes.patch - not essential, but will stop your 'add' menus getting bloated to hell. README follows: MountedFileStorage, 0.02. Ok, so the DC guys have been talking about allowing multiple ZODB support, but I couldn't see a way to use it. A bit of trawling through the CVS and I found the guts of a MountedItem object which has now been removed. Using that as inspiration and a source of pointers, I've bolted together a really simple Product for mounting multiple ZODB files onto a Zope installation. You should also check out the "MountedDatabases":http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZODB/MountedDatabases section of the ZODB Wiki. First of all, you need to be running a really really recent "CVS":http://www.zope.org/Resources/CVS version of Zope. 2.2alpha1 isn't good enough. Then install this product (it unpacks in lib/python/Products/MountedFileStorage). Sample usage: Select 'Mounted FileStorage' from the product add list. For 'file' put nifty.fs. Leave 'path' blank, and put 'nifty' as the id, click 'create'. You've now got an empty ZODB installed. _WARNING_: This is really really untested stuff. It Works For Me. Not To Be Taken Internally. Do Not Come Crying To Me If It Breaks Your Zope Install. If you want to play with this stuff, you really should back up your Data.fs _first_. For more info, see the online Help. In particular, check out the known bugs and problems section. Security Issues: There probably are some. I've no idea what they might be. The product makes a really simple-minded effort to not allow badness through (any filename with a '/' or '\' in it). Don't give access to the permission 'Mount FileStorages' to anyone that you don't trust, though. Note that this includes anyone with Manager role on the system. Note also, though that you can only mount existing files that are in var/.

There's a number of approaches you can take here: 1. Buy something - a cisco localdirector, an arrowpoint (also now owned by cisco), or similar. This is the approach we take - in a past life I've seen an LD get the absolute crap kicked out of it and it just kept working (it was in front of some _large_ proxy caches). www.cisco.com www.arrowpoint.com 2.

[Zope] [announce] SQL Session 0.2.9 available.
A long-overdue update to SQL Session is out. This version (0.2.9) will be the last version in the 0.2.x series (assuming no brown paper bag bugs in this release). I will be now working on 0.3.x, which will hook into the transaction machinery so that it only makes a single set of updates in a transaction. This should lower the database hits significantly. Installation: If you have a previous version of SQLSession, you might need to go to the management panel of your Session object after installing the new version and hit 'Change'. Note that the default schema has changed to avoid bad words like 'name', 'session', 'sessions' and 'value', since some databases have issues with these. Changelog from 0.2.3: Code now uses it's own decodestring/encodestring, because the standard python lib supplies an incredibly stupid implementation. (take a string, wrap it in a StringIO, then pass it to encode which then pulls out the string again.) Rough testing shows that a small string encode or decode drops from 1ms or so to about 1/20th of that. Given how often this is done, it makes a big big difference. Jeff Hoffman supplied a patch that makes SQLSession work with 2.2 - adding __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ = 1 to the SESSION object. Ooo, magic. Changed the default schema and queries to avoid using the words 'session', 'value' or 'name'. Different databases have different ideas of which are and are not reserved words. Added a new option 'path', to specify the cookie path. This means that you can specify, say, /foo, and only the browser will only send the cookie when requesting URLs beginning with /foo. Re-did some of the internals to avoid what may or may not have been a refcount cycle. I'm still not sure what caused it - assigning the SESSION object to REQUEST.SESSION, with SESSION keeping a reference to the parent Session object. It now finds Session by acquisition. A number of dumb bugs were squished.

[Zope] [announce] MountedFileStorage product - mount multiple ZODBs.
I've bolted together a simple Product which allows you to mount sub-ZODB's through the zope management interface. http://www.zope.org/Members/anthony/software/MountedFileStorage/ (it's now up to version 0.01 :) It _requires_ an up-to-date CVS version of Zope. It won't work on 2.2a1. I'd expect it will work on 2.2, whenever that happens. Most of the credit for this goes to the guys at DC who did all the work - but any bugs are probably in my bit, not the bits they did. Anthony readme follows: Created by anthony. Last modified on 2000/06/01. Ok, so the DC guys have been talking about allowing multiple ZODB support, but I couldn't see a way to use it. A bit of trawling through the CVS and I found the guts of a MountedItem object which has now been removed. Using that as inspiration and a source of pointers, I've bolted together a really simple Product for mounting multiple ZODB files onto a Zope installation. You should also check out the MountedDatabases section of the ZODB Wiki. First of all, you need to be running a really really recent CVS version of Zope. 2.2alpha1 isn't good enough. Then install this product (it unpacks in lib/python/Products/MountedFileStorage). Sample usage: cd $zope/var ; cp Data.fs.in nifty.fs Select Mounted FileStorage from the product add list. For file put nifty.fs. Leave path blank, and put whee as the id. You've now got a copy of the default Zope install mounted. In the same session, add a new Mounted FileStorage, for the Path put in QuickStart/Outline. Leave id blank. You've now mounted the QuickStart/Outline folder from the mounted FS as Outline in the current folder. WARNING: This is really really untested stuff. It Works For Me. Not To Be Taken Internally. Do Not Come Crying To Me If It Breaks Your Zope Install. If you want to play with this stuff, you really should back up your Data.fs first. Security Issues: There probably are some. I've no idea what they might be. The product makes a really simple-minded effort to not allow badness through (any filename with a / or \ in it). Don't give access to the permission Mount FileStorages to anyone that you don't trust, though. Note that this includes anyone with Manager role on the system. Note also, though that you can only mount existing files that are in var/. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Easiest (most brutal?) fix I've found - hide Zope behind an Apache, and prohibit access to any URLs of the form .*/manage.* If you don't need to use basic auth to the Zope, then use a rewrite rule to strip out any Authentication headers in the requests.

I'm not sure what options you'll need to specify to get that particular directory installed. (if someone was to destroy the oracle installer and replace it with something that worked, I think a lot of people would be very very happy.) On a related note - make sure you link with libclntsh, not libnjni8 - at least one version of a Setup file for DCOracle specified njni8.

Until PythonMethods are back in the distribution, you can't stop people from using DTML for this stuff - the only alternative is to give everyone who ever needs to do something more than simple HTML access to the file system. I can't see that happening on zope.org, or many other sites. I agree whole-heartedly that DTML's expr syntax is nightmarish and needs to be deprecated - but right now there's nothing to replace it with. As far as the issue at hand - whether lambda/map/reduce/filter should be allowed - the simplest way to enable them for PythonMethods also enables them for dtml-expr.

Initially when I read about this, I was a bit concerned - it did seem like it was leading down a bad scary path. After thinking about it some more, I'm still a bit concerned, but I also think that this will be a nice bit of bait to use when hooking in new developers. If it including building Products in Perl, I'd be a bit more concerned, since one of the Really Nice things about Zope is the available Products, and just how easy they are to read and work with.

As of 0.2.x it sometimes does, depending on whether you've turned on caching - but 0.3.0 will fix it entirely, I plan to remove the non-cached option, and do it a whole lot smarter. 0.2.9 will be out shortly (tonight, if I can stop this sodding PC from crashing every 10 minutes) and will be the last of the current architecture. 0.3.0 is moving to a more sane system - one that will stop my DBA from hurting me. :) Anthony, who's really not a fan of PC hardware. -- Anthony Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's never too late to have a happy childhood. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
