POST ?

[Greg Haerr]

I just downloaded the binary viewml-x11 (from
ftp://ftp.viewml.com/pub/viewml/binary/) after having failed to build it
myself from CVS under Linux (more about that might follow in another mail).

Please send some details about your CVS problems. I'm curious to see what the
problem is and to get it fixed.

This binary does not fire off a POST request properly even though the form
I try it on uses method="post"!
Instead it simple makes a GET on the 'action' URL, not even passing along
the input variables correctly.
Is this fixed in a later version?

This binary version may indeed have a problem with POST. Originally, ViewML
didn't support anything but GET requests. However, Chris Hawks submitted a
patch that should fix this (which I've attached to this email, in case you
cannot work with the CVS code, as you mentioned above.)

As far as I can tell, this patch was added to the CVS version.

I'm trying this to evaluate viewml to figure out if it is "Good Enough" for
a forthcoming project of mine.
Also, I couldn't find any info about it, but I take it ViewML has no
problems with ordinary cookies?

Cookies are not currently supported by ViewML, unfortunately.

I'm getting the notorious:

In file included from html.cpp:24:
../kdecore/kurl.h:28:20: config.h: No such file or directory
In file included from ../kdecore/kurl.h:31,
from html.cpp:24:
fltk/qstring.h:16: parse error before `{' token
fltk/qstring.h:21: parse error before `int'
fltk/qstring.h:22: parse error before `const'

I've tried the configure --with-fltk option in several ways and I can't
understand how it is supposed to work (also, the web page says get fltk 1.0.7
does that mean exactly that version or?). I'm building this --with-x, as I
just want to run a test version of viewml on a few HTML pages for evaluation
purposes (to start with).

Ugha. This is a main blow on my plans.

Is there any work in progress on this issue? If it helps, I wrote the cookie
stuff for libcurl and I figure I can contribute a bit if it would help.

I must have cookies in the browser.
