Hi Fionn, I doubt that you're the only person in the world left using PSP - though I must admit that I don't use PSP for my own Webware projects (only plain Webkit). Unfortunately, the orginal developers have long ago abandoned the PSP project and I'm left alone trying to maintain it without being an active user.
But anyway, I think PSP is still in a pretty good shape, and I don't experience the problems you're mentioning. There is another thing I find somewhat disturbing: You're saying that you're updating from version 0.9.0. This version is four years old and there have been versions 0.9.1 to 0.9.4, 1.0 and many beta and rc versions. So why did you never update before and now expect that everything goes smoothly and without any compatibility issues? I have always asked people to check the betas and release candidates, but the feedback was mostly been disappointing. Open Source software lives from active participation and feedback of its users. How can it be improved when there is only feedback every four years? Anyway, let's try to solve this problem. > First thing I found out was that self.transaction().hasSession() ALWAYS > returns False. This is actually a WebKit method that has nothing to do with PSP and works fine for me. It's certainly only a subsequent fault of the next problem you're mentioning. > And instead of setting the path to "/", the cookie path is set to > "/path_to/page.psp/" (path_to being the subdir on the server, and the > / in the end is no typo). So I quickly get a whole bag of cookies but > no session. The cookie path is set to the servlet path of the application in newer versions of Webware, since setting it to "/" can be a security problem. So for some strange reason, your Webware installation seems to think "/path_to/page.psp/" is your servlet path. However, I just tested this, created a PSP page that is using a session, and for me everything is working fine, with both built-in webserver and apache2+mod_webkit2. Also note that you can configure the servlet path manually using the setting SessionCookiePath in Application.config - you can simply set it to "/" or the root path of your application. This has been properly documented in the Release Notes and Configuration guide, by the way. > Anybody doing anything with PSP would have found out about this quickly. > Since it hasnt been mentioned in weeks, I came to believe I am the last > person on earth using PSP which makes me feel sort of sad. You're really too quick to jump to conclusions. As I said it is working for me. > Also self.request.serverURL() and related methods do now return results > which are completely different than in my old install (must have been > around 0.9.0) and they are often wrong.

I guess you mean request().hostAndPort() (which is a new method, btw). The method name shall imply that it returns the host-and-port-section of the URL which works very well for me. The only thing is that the port can be missing if it is the default port. I can clarify this in the docstring, though. > Due to the massive session problem I will now ruefully go back to my > ancient installation. Again, so far I don't see any massive problems with Webware 1.0.1, but only a small API change with serverURL and the unsolved question why you have the wrong servlet path for PSP. Maybe you have set up some unusual redirection with Apache or something. What does your Apache config look like? Also, are you sure you're using mod_webkit2 as adapter? -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
