Error on testing IDE

[Lutz]

Thanks for the detailed info. You start up httpd exactly the same way on Windows as I always do. But I think this is the statement in ide/file-frame.cgi where your IE is choking on:



(println {<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">})

(println {parent.frames[1].document.forms[0].Directory.value='} data-root {';})

(println {</SCRIPT>})



For some reasons it works fine on my IE v 6.0 but not on yours, must be some configuration issue of IE? I have one other (older Win2k) computer with I.E 5.0, which I can try this afternoon.



I found another fix for the IE/Mozilla incompatibilities formatting POST requests. The latest httpd-3-7 in http://newlisp.org/download">http://newlisp.org/download takes care of this. Since httpd 3.0 I had only tested httpd on Mozilla thinking is wouldn't matter on a server, now I know better. IE and older Netscape send an extra CR-LF after POST requests even when the "content-length:" field is specified in the header not including these 2 extra bytes. This makes 2 additional bytes to drain from the socket.

I just test on my 2 office PC with WIN/XP and WIN/2K.

Both work fine now with 3.7. No error's and stable. Great!



2 Observations:



mandelbrot-short.lsp always produce black squares.

mandelbrot.lsp makes a nice colord one.



The navigation frame with the files is case-sensitive.

So folder with lowercase name like 'newlisp' get down the list.

Is this configurable?



Will test at home in the evening.

mandelbrot-short.lsp will be deleted in next version, I was trying the modern

color coding with three hex character, as used in CSS stylesheets, in a table.



About sorting the filenames: its just doing the default ASCII sorting, too much trouble to give this special treatment  on Windows (too busywith other stuff). On LINUX/Unix filenames are case sensitive, on Windows not, this is why it mixes upper and lower case  in a WindosXP listing but sorts in ide.

Just tested it at home.



But here no success. Still getting the same error.



Strange.



IE 6.0.2600 on german XP Pro (all patches)



Is it correct that the pcgi file in tmp has '0D0D0A' at the

end of each line insted of '0D0A'.

[Lutz]

thats correct, its an artifact of the piping process, these get filtered/replaced before sending to the browser (see line 188 in httpd).

I had reported that IDE works on my 2 office PC. I just try to check out the difference between my home PC and the PC here. So I found out that the error happens also here, but it is not displayed, because I disabled the option 'Show script error' in the IE extended options. So they only show up in the status bar in the left bottom corner.
