Hello, We have to serve some static files, that are only windows-specific: .ocx .lpk .cab Some of them, on windows, are executables, but when they are serving for Active4D on OS X, they show their contents ...

Re: a4d.json help!

Brad Perkins — 2008-09-29T00:11:30

Todd, I think that your framework is using JSONP instead of raw JSON. I don't have access to the A4D JSON library but I doubt it handles it natively. You might be able to wrap the response (which is just text), e.g. $JSON := a4d.json.encode( ... ) `Off the top of my head, but you should get the idea $response := 'CPJSONPConnectionCallbacks.callback716$$JSON$' write ($response)

a4d.json help!

Todd Freese — 2008-09-25T18:57:47

I am fairly new to the whole world of returning data as JSON responses. I have a site that needs to get some data from 4D and return it as JSON data. I have the return data all formatted using the very cool a4d.json library, however, it seems that this data needs to be "wrapped" in some sort of callback syntax. Do I need to parse out something from the original request header to wrap my response with? My JSON response: {"folderNames":["Client Approval","Dailies","Design Tests","Released Spots"]} Here is what it should be: CPJSONPConnectionCallbacks.callback716({"folderNames":["Client Approval","Dailies","Design Tests","Released Spots"]}) Where do I get the "CPJSONPConnectionCallbacks.callback716" part?

File Download Problem

Tim Gillespie — 2008-09-22T18:16:05

Friends: I have Active4D 4.0.2 running on a Mac server with OS v10.4.11. In my environment, when I request a 4D document to be downloaded to the workstation using IE or Firefox, Mac or PC, the process works perfectly. Currently we have four formats: .doc, .rtf, .html or .pdf and each type opens correctly with the appropriate application. I have tested this exact same code in two other independent environments with no issues at all. When I take the exact same code and place this on my customer's Mac server with OS v10.4.11 at their location, the files have the correct external file name extension and the download process completes. However, the applications, like Word or Acrobat are unable to open the document saying the document is not the correct type or the file has been damaged. Additional, if my client emails me any of the four types, my Exchange server quarantines the documents saying the external filename does not agree with the internal filename. Has anyone seen this type of behavior before or have any idea how to further try and isolate this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone used the SproutCore or Cappuccino frameworks with A4D? I am starting a major update to a web application and these new frameworks look very promising. I would be interested in your thoughts, praises or gripes. Thanks, Todd Freese The Filmworkers Club

CSRF security weakness?

Tony P — 2008-09-17T15:24:51

We had a security check on one of our A4D sites recently and I was surprised to see a vulnerability listed for Cross Site Request Forgeries. This is a targeted attack where the user accesses a malicious website whilst still within a session on your website. For a detailed explanation see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery In this case the A4D session cookie actually helps the attacker, and it should be noted that apparently 99% of web sites have this vulnerability. I would not regard it as a significant weakness, but better safe than sorry. The work-around is to include a random session- linked token (not the same as the cookie) on any "sensitive" forms you may have, but I'm wondering if there is any better way to tackle the problem? Or if it has already been tackled or is in future plans? Tony Pollard Another Dimension Ltd

Design Question

Bill Leddy — 2008-09-16T19:13:33

Hi All, i'm hoping for suggestions / voices of experience on a problem I have managing multiple logins from a single user. The Situation: 1. Users log in to manage their data... works great. 2. User, for reasons both legitimate and imaginary, creates 2 separate accounts and attempts to login to both accounts simultaneously using 2 browser windows. (their goal is usually to copy and past info between the accounts) I keep the UserID in Session so that it is never sent over the network. I understand that the session cookie is shared by all instances of the browser, so when the user logs in the second time, it actually just replaces the original UserID. Now when they try to submit a form using the first browser window the update fails (quietly in this case) because the user is no longer logged into that account. To answer the first questions: Yes, they're told not to. Yes, they continue to do so. Yes, they are customers so I can't tell them to just go pound sand. Any ideas on how to manage multiple logins from a single browser? TIA Kind Regards, ********************************************************************* Bill Leddy bill-/IwohF+HLz1t0JrxVvvTAUEOCMrvLtNR< at >public.gmane.org William Leddy Business Consulting Custom Database Solutions 3145 17th Street Sacramento, CA 95818 Phone: (916) 444-2903 "On the desktop and on the web" *********************************************************************

Re: Active4D v5 packaging

Michael Kaye — 2008-09-07T17:56:15

Sounds like 3 is the best solution. As you say "since there are usually a small number of web serving Clients, this should not be a big deal." Removing PPC support may limit your initial sales (where by people want to upgrade 4D and Active4D before they replace the hardware) so I personally would avoid that for another year at least. Reducing the number of characters sets could be problematic as you never know which locale character set someone will use. For example did you know the next release of the IDP database will need to run in Lao (both the language and the country)... Regards, Michael. On 6 Sep 2008, at 23:00, Aparajita Fishman wrote:
