It surprised me to also learn that the semicolon is a valid query item separator (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3481664/semicolon-as-url-query-separator). If WebUtils.FieldStorage had known this then my code would have happily ignored this junk and my user would have been OK. In my view nobody should go around adding parameters to other programs' URLs, so I consider this problem the fault of whatever added that junk. I thought I'd mention it for interest, and in case it affects anybody else.

DBUtils is a suite of tools providing solid, persistent and pooled connections to a database that can be used in all kinds of multi-threaded environments such as Webware for Python or other web application servers. The suite supports DB-API 2 compliant database interfaces and the classic PyGreSQL interface. The new version is available for download at: * http://www.python.org/pypi/DBUtils/ and * http://www.w4py.org/downloads/DBUtils/ Changes: * http://www.w4py.org/DBUtils/Docs/RelNotes-1.1.html User's Guide available at: * http://www.w4py.org/DBUtils/Docs/UsersGuide.html </pre> Christoph Zwerschke 2011-08-14T13:21:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4973 <pre>A new version 1.1 of the venerable Webware for Python web framework is now available for download at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/webware/Webware-1.1.tar.gz. This release offers some major new features, e.g. a WSGI adapter, sessions based on shelve or Memcached, MiddleKit supporting SQLite. Webware requires Python 2.4 now. The code base has been cleaned up and modernized very much; all the old cruft that was only there to support older Python versions has been removed. The older Python versions are still supported via the latest bugfix version 1.0.3 of the 1.0 branch which has been released along with the current version 1.1. You can find more info on the Webware for Python homepage at http://www.webwareforpython.org/ Support is available via the Webware for Python mailing lists at https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4866 </pre> Christoph Zwerschke 2011-08-03T21:52:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4964 <pre>I am a new WebFaction user trying to port an old Webware WebKit application.  I have added a WebFaction "Custom app (listening on port)" to obtain a unique port number. Then I modified my wsgi adapter to point at 184.172.207.73:41759 and modified the app server configuration to listen at the same address. The problem is that the wsgi adapter and app server are not making a connection and the browser always get a timed out error. I started the AppServer manually in a putty ssh terminal the the AppServer starts but shows no indication of receiving a request.  The AppServer startup messages include the line "Listening for Adapter on 184.172.207.73:41759" and the address.adapter file is created with the same value. My WSGIAdapter.config file includes: """ NumRetries = 20 SecondsBetweenRetries = 3 Host = '184.172.207.73' AdapterPort = 41759 """ Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Below, see that the referrer, QUERY_STRING and REQUEST_URI all show _id=BK0000000579561338, and yet in fields we see _id=BK0000000579558176! How can this be? Looking at HTTPRequest.py I can see that everything comes from requestDict, which I guess is coming from the adapter (mod_webkit2). Therefore what the adapter is sending us in requestDict['input'] does not match what we see in requestDict['environ']. Does it seem that I am thinking in the right direction? Has anyone else seen anything like this? Background: I am now using 1.1b, but I have noticed this problem occasionally over the last few years. It occurred during a period of reasonably high usage.

We had a situation where two AJAX requests were issued and one of the requests updates the session and it started and completed within the lifetime of another request. In that scenario the completion of the first request overwrites the session and the changes to the session made by the shorter request are lost. Here's an easier to follow timeline: Request 1 - reads session (assume session is empty) Request 2 - reads session (assume session is empty) Request 2 - adds data to session Request 2 - sleep() called - session is stored (session contains data) Request 1 - sleep() called - session is stored (session is now empty - the value of the session when Request 1 read it) So when later requests go to read the data stored in the session by request 2 the data isn't there. Here's the code from WebKit.Transaction: def sleep(self): """Send sleep() to the session and the servlet.

This works nicely with newsyslog on BSD systems. It isn't pretty, or ideal, but at least it works. Hopefully this will seed the idea of working this feature into WebWare in a future release so that I don't have to patch it on my side. The patch for ThreadedAppServer.py also includes a fix for BSD systems regarding opening the socket with appropriate flags set. --- WebKit/ThreadedAppServer.py.orig Sun Jan 25 06:17:38 2009 +++ WebKit/ThreadedAppServer.py Wed Jul 8 13:10:30 2009 &lt; at &gt;&lt; at &gt; -271,6 +271,19 &lt; at &gt;&lt; at &gt; try: sock.bind(serverAddress) sock.listen(1024) + try: + import fcntl + fd = sock.fileno() + flags = fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_GETFD) + try: + flags |= fcntl.FD_CLOEXEC + </pre> Justin Akehurst 2010-12-01T19:13:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4950 <pre>I recently installed Webware 1.1b on a new machine, and left it at its default Min/Start/MaxServerThreads (5/10/20) in webwarework/Configs/AppServer.config. I have observed that even when MinServerThreads are all busy, Webware is not starting new threads to handle new connections. Looking at the code, this seems to be because Webware decides how many threads it needs based on past activity; all threads being busy does not in itself trigger the creation of new threads. (I could be misunderstanding the code here.) I observed it using a simple Webware script that reports the number of active threads and roughly what they are doing. This script is normally very fast because it waits on no locks and does no database work. However when the server is busy I have occasionally noticed a several second delay before it returns, and when it does return I see that the other threads are all busy, and that the number of threads is still just 5. In fact, the number of threads is /always/ just 5, so far a</pre> Oliver Bock 2010-12-02T03:14:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4949 <pre>Just a quick note to let you know we migrated the Webware project site to a new machine. The website and repositories should now be noticeably faster. If anything does not work as expected or you are missing anything that was there on the old server, let us know. Thanks go to tummy.com for complimentary providing the new server, as they already did in the past. They are really generous and supportive, so I highly recommend their services if you are looking for managed hosting of your Webware apps or other Linux based services. </pre> Christoph Zwerschke 2010-10-28T20:31:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4946 <pre>When install.py byte compiles 1.1 beta on Python 2.4.3, I get this error, which does not stop install.py: Compiling /home/timbock/Webware-1.1b1/WebKit/Adapters/WSGIAdapter.py ...

The symptom is an infinite recursion exception on guess_type when it is called concurrently Looking in webware trunk I could see it that the exception is catched: try: mimeType, mimeEncoding = guess_type(filename, False) except Exception: mimeType = None I'm not sure this is a good method because python does make an infinite recursion before sending the exception. Maybe it is better to prevent it, just by using a mutex: from threading import Lock guess_type_lock=Lock() ... with guess_type_lock: mimeType, mimeEncoding = guess_type(filename, False) This works fine for me.

No new features will be accepted for this version any more. There will be probably no more beta releases or release candidates for 1.1, but I want to directly publish the final 1.1 release as soon as possible. </pre> Christoph Zwerschke 2010-04-18T22:52:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.webware/4894 <pre>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel&amp;#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Recently, a catastrophic hard drive crash forced me to rebuild a system and part of that was to re-install webware for an xml-rpc app built some years ago. I used 0.9 because that was what used before. However, I would like to catch up to the current version. Christoph et al have done such a great job of improving the product. I have poked through the release notes but still have the urge to ask this question: Are there any "gotchas" in moving from such an old version to the current release?
