Re: Mask a Password and reuse the text afterwards

Hi, [...] if it's really necessary to base64encode the generated message digest? You don't really need to base64encode the binary output of messageDigest. But since there's chars in it that may be shown or not, depending on software/ OS/ locale Settings used, it's a good idea IMHO, especially during...

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi,

Ooops, didn't explain it clearly enough - I only used the "$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']" this time. So the results basically show what's the cost for a very simple CGI call, over the different versions & tools.

Have fun!

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi, did some more tests. What did I find? For my convenience I wrote a simple tool to test CGI response times. See attachment. *1) . Feeling adventurous, I installed the LC 7.1.4-64 server on my hosted server. Doesn't run, too, so there's only the LC 8 servers that will run out-of-the-box on "real s...

Re: Mask a Password and reuse the text afterwards

Hi, I knew I made such a thing ages ago! And I actually found it. So I did a quick code redressing, preserving the priceless UI. See attachment. It's using a simplified approach for a user to enter her password - for instance, it recognizes a previously copied one. And it doesn't display anything, d...

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi, I don't know about your C++ skill Not existent :) Might we put together a bounty on this? Tbh, no, sorry. No incentive for me - after all I don't need Server 9: There's nothing in it that I really need as long as Server 8 works. If it shows that LC server makes sense for me, at all. And I'm abso...

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi, tested. My shared server doesn't support the 32-bit subsystem, as expected. I might try to explain why I'm so happy with my shared servers: My applications are used in commercial environments, my customers are small wholesalers. I don't host myself, nor do I sell anything, nor do I do any admini...

If your server will run LC 6.7, go for it.
I may give it a try (it's easy enough once you know-how), but I fear Ubuntu 20.04 as server will not have the 32bit libs required :/

Have fun!

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi, for your information: Thx to Richard/ Panos (in bug report 23163 ) it has been found out that there are new, added dependencies in the LC 9 server series: libexpat.so.1 => /lib64/libexpat.so.1 (0x00007fbb81611000) libfreetype.so.6 => /lib64/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00007fbb81352000) libfontconfig.so....

Re: Livecode Server performance

Hi, I mean. Livecode server has no errors. The response from the livecode server to the requests from the loader is very slow. What I meant was that maybe LC server throws an error & the loader then reports timeout? Have you made sure your .lc is actually executed, using SSH directly? The "segmentat...

Re: Trapping The Windows Key.

Nope.

The Win key doesn't fire rawKeyDown at all - it opens the start menu immediately, not even reaching LC.

Re: Text Field - Right Mouse Click?

Hi, does this mean that I must also code what happens when someone right clicks a text field and chooses, "Paste"? Yes. Right-Click menus have not been regarded important enough to be implemented using the OS' system calls. So you have to code them yourself - have fun doing it in a way that doesn't ...

Re: IDE windowed mode

Hi, I personally don’t feel any need to be able to see other apps while I’m working on code and vice versa... so for me at least, being able to see other apps while I’m doing stuff in LC doesn’t make any sense. Just curious how important that is for other users? I'd get mad with a single IDE window....

Re: Invisible return lines in CSV files?

Hi, your CSV is encoded as "Win-1252" & uses LF (Unix) as well as CRLF (Win) line endings. test_csv.png (If working with CSV a capable text editor is worth a lot ... ) And you read the file using "URL ("file:" & ...)", which causes LC to mess up all the returns :) Read the file as "URL ("binfile:" &...
