  • This is just plain HTML, which is expected when the server cannot find the URL you requested.
  • The answer is yes and no. OI itself requires SQL compliant naming conventions as it always has. However, in order to ease the porting of AREV to ARev32, Revelation created the CTODICT.MFS. This will get installed on your dictionaries when you do the…
  • Perhaps this isn't your issue, Mark, but using script event handlers will also make a difference. In this case, returning a 0 should also be done to prevent the event chain from continuing.
  • Post_Event() is definitely the right solution. OI does not handle OLE events well in this scenario for the reasons you surmised. Usually, however, this results in a freed common error rather than a Windows level crash. How are you qualifying the OL…
  • What exactly is happening when OpenInsight crashes? Is this a runtime error or Windows level crash?
  • Ah...the problems of using different versions of the product. I think we fixed the problem you are running into with a later release. I can only look at and test the current version that I have installed. You are correct, there is a point where the …
  • Okay, so I should expect something back on a time out or bad gateway etc. correct? Certainly the browser figures out something happens. Remember, the key issue here is "what the server returns" not "what the browser shows". The browser will show y…
  • First, I must apologize for giving you a reply that ultimately sent you on a wild goose chase. I was rushing my answer since I was heading out the door for a few hours. You nearly identified my error on your own. I was looking at HTTP_Services when …
  • Steve, I could be wrong but if your code snippet was copied from your stored procedure I think the problem is that you have the wrong service. Instead of GetResponseStatusCode try GetResponseStatus.
  • Consider using the BLOCK_EVENTS property to control the firing of errant and grief-producing CHANGED events.

  • Serves me right for trying to read posts after midnight when I am tired. I see now that the text in the control is for instructional purposes. I kept thinking all along that the text you wanted to appear was the text you were dropping in. Now this m…

  • I'm still trying to understand when the problem occurs. It seems clear to me that you are trying to do two things: 1.) drop text into a control, and 2.) clear the text once the user moves the mouse. If you ignore the functionality of #2, does dropp…

  • I don't think we have a way to support drag-n-drop of text data, at least from an external source. Maybe we can help resolve the grief issues you are getting. When you say "it dies", are you saying OI crashes? Can you elaborate more on what doesn't…

  • What is the nature of the data coming from the external source? Is it pure text, a file, a structure? Is the text appearing in the OI edit line control the data being dragged/dropped or is it just data your code will generate?

  • I just ran into a similar situation on a client's new Citrix box. Neither %LOCALAPPDATA% nor the %HomeDrive% paths contained a Windows folder with OINSIGHT.ini. I found it in %USERPROFILE%\Windows.
  • That is definitely not what I would have expected to see. Question: when you run the form does it display an evaluation dialog box that forces you to dismiss it or does it appear to run without any issues?
    in Eval copy Comment by DonBakke March 2017
  • For those who really want to dive into these distinctions, I recommend reading the official RFC spec on POST and PUT. In simplified terms, POST should be used to create a new resource and the server gets to decide the resource ID. POST can also be …
  • Much of this depends on where you choose to define the endpoint. There is no "best practice" here, it really depends on what makes the most sense for your application design and maintenance. /customers could be your endpoint and all other segments …
  • Barry - Rather than reinvent the wheel, look at the examples Mark posted. Those URLs are more RESTful because they clearly identify a unique resource on the server. I'm not sure if your database record is a single or 2-part key, but it doesn't matte…
  • Guys - Using angle brackets in your responses is causing odd formatting. Barry, this is why you had characters in strikeout mode. Mark, this is why your clientid tag was missing. I updated Barry's post with emoji (since I suspect that is what you we…
  • I think this issue is getting muddied. I would not take the approach you are considering. I can continue to offer my advice if you wish, but it would only serve to explain a best practice approach from a RESTful point of view and to ensure consisten…
  • Let's slow down here. First, you misunderstood the intent of my question about the RequestURL argument. Obviously I knew you were aware of it since you used it in your example. I was trying to confirm if that variable was being passed in as an argum…
  • Sorry, let me ask you one more question. Is the argument coming into your service RemainingURL? Also, in the Notes section of the comment block, do you see anything like this: Notes : All HTTP web services should include the HTTP_SERVICE_…
  • I am not using the new fancy srp shortcut coding. I'm not sure what that means. How do I know that 123 has been passed and not just 16333P. I'll help answer this question based on the latest version of the framework, so your mileage may vary. My…
  • For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with X-prefixed headers, this is just a way to submit custom, or non-standard, headers. So, the only reason X-Authorization works is simply because Apache ignores it and passes it through. For that matter,…
  • It's not coming through, so I switched to HTTP_X_AUTHORIZATION. Pity. I thought perhaps this had been resolved with this implementation of Apache. That lack of proper support for the Authorization header is disappointing and I'm very surprised thi…
  • Side question for you. Since you are using WampServer, have you found that the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header comes through or do you have to rely upon HTTP_X_AUTHORIZATION?
  • I don't know any more. One of my senior developers, Paul, has the most experience with it. I have not personally used it in a long time and I suspect that no one else on our team has needed to purchase a new license for it in awhile either. Some re…
  • I'm not sure if you are asking a REST design question or a programming question. If this is a REST design question, I would say that you have two ways to go with this: * Use query params to define the records you want to retrieve from your URL. T…
  • That does not sound like anything I would consider to be a problem. Since I have not seen your problem before and since this might very well be unique to your configuration, my suggestion is to see if you can create a much simpler application where …
