Two ways to send data to a server are FTP and POST via HTTP. From
anything
running on a public client FTP would expose your password
unnecessarily, so
using POST to send the data to a CGI would probably be the better
option.
I have been wondering about this also and am confused as to why the
standard
read and write file commands would not work. The revlet is sitting
in a
directory on a server, just like a stack sits in a directory on your
local
hard disk. You want to read or write a file in a directory relative
to the
stack or revlet. So why wouldn't
open file fpath for write -- where fpath is the directory your
revlet is
in, for example
write fld "data" to file fpath
close file fpath
work on the server just like it works on your local hard drive,
especially
if the plugin is supposed to support virtually all of Rev's commands?
It won't work because of the security model the web is based on.
Client processes cannot write to a web server. The only way to get
around this is to FTP from the client, POST data to a server side
script of some kind (CGI, PHP) or store the data in a server-side
database such as MySQL.
A revlet can write to the local file system (although it seems we're
unsure of whether open file/write to file works), but only if the user
gives permission.
Hope I'm understanding the question.
