[Pharo-project] WikiServer - very nice!
by David T. Lewis May 26, 2009

May 26, 2009

I finally tried downloading some applications to an iPod Touch that I received as a birthday present last year (OK, I'm a slow learner). I tried Google Earth and John's WikiServer. Both very cool. So now I have a complete wiki and web server running on that little gadget. Fits in my pocket, no disk drives, no wires. Nicely done John. Dave

[Pharo-project] Proxy with NTLM authentication?
by Bernhard Pieber May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

Hi all, I would like to use Pharo behind a corporate firewall with a proxy with NTLM authentication. Having read the thread "Proxy with authentication support" (http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2009-May/008717.html ) I thought I might try if it works with NTLM. Short version: It doesn't. ;-) Has someone solved that particular problem? Thanks for your support! Cheers, Bernhard Long version: If I do: HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://www.pieber.com' I get: 'HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Proxy-Connection: close Connection: close Content-Length: 1251<HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>Invalid username/password</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <big></big> <blockquote> <TABLE border=0 cellPadding=1 width="80%"> <TR><TD> <big>Invalid username/password (bad_credentials)</big> </TD></TR> <TR><TD> Your username or password were sent using an invalid/ unrecognized format.

[Pharo-project] Port of Cryptography to Pharo
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

I don't know if there is anyone of the developers of the package Cryptography but is someone is willing to do the port of it to Pharo? Most tests are break and it seems not to work because lots of Cryptography methods where in classes like SmallInteger and these methods were removed in Pharo. Regards, Mariano

[Pharo-project] Crypto should be part of base
by Stephan Eggermont May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

>Ok, in the past I've built the DES plugin for the macintosh. However I should point out that Cryptography should NOT be made part of the base VM. Why? Well the >USA government then wants you to fill out export paperwork if you are USA company or selling product thru the USA that someone that doesn't live in the USA >could buy. An example of this is when you submit apps to the Apple iPhone app store, then you are asked if the product includes any encryption and if you have >done the paperwork. Yes I know this is a irksome rule, but people should be aware of the implications. I strongly disagree. All systems should include strong cryptography. The US government might want to change its policy. US citizens and companies being forced to comply with silly regulations should not be a concern of others. Stephan Eggermont

[Pharo-project] NetNameResolver problem on Linux Ubuntu 9.04
by Alain Plantec May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

Hi all, Since one week I have network problems: system update is not working, Monticello can't open any http repository... I've investigated a little bit and found that NetNameResolver always fail when trying to resolve www.squeaksource.com as an example: NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.squeaksource.com' result is always nil. I can make it work only by setting true to the #UseOldNetwork NetNameResolver class variable. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04, I'm using Exupery VM 0.15.1. I do not have any problem on a VirtualBox/Ubuntu 8.10, same VM. Cheers Alain

[Pharo-project] More relicensing
by Gabriel Cotelli May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

I noticed the following methods in the dirty list: BlockContext>>argumentCount Character class>>codePoint: Character>>codePoint Number>>asFloatD Number>>asFloatE Number>>asFloatQ In the last Pharo-Dev there's no senders of that methods. Can I remove them? Or there's something else I should check? Gabriel
