Re: [Pharo-users] Teapot and POST:

by Attila Magyar

It's basically the same as GET and the others. The request object contains the url encoded form data or whatever was posted. The request object is the same as ZnRequest with a few additional methods. There is a generic at: method that can be used to access both path and queryOrFormParams. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Teapot-and-POST-tp4951616p4951660.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Loading Dr. Geo in Pharo6

Hi Esteban, Yes, good idea as this protocol is not present in Pharo6, it will ease loading Dr. Geo code. However it looks like there are faulty code in Pharo6 as there are exactly *four* senders to this message (see screenshot), and exactly *zero* in DrGeo code, and *one* in the gettext package which should be fixed too. Does it deserve a bug ticket or do I miss something?

Re: [Pharo-users] Loading Dr. Geo in Pharo6

you can add that protocol by yourself as an extension. you can create a package DrGeo-Pharo6 and add the method, something like: addToStartUpList: aClass after: ignoredClass SessionManager default registerSystemClassNamed: aClass name atPriority: 60 then, you load this package as pre-req, in your baseline/configuration.

Loading Dr. Geo in Pharo6

by Hilaire

Hi, When I install DrGeo from its configuration file in Pharo6, I got the following VM error. I guess the addStartUpList protocol is obsolete. One option is to modify Dr. Geo code in Pharo3 to remove startup activation, save in the repo, then load newer code in Pharo6, and get it fixed. Any suggestion, to do directly from Pharo6 to prevent unnecessary code changes in DrGeo repo? Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

Hi Stephan, Thank you for the helpful info and nice welcome to the Pharo community. Iâd not been using Citezen. Since your email, Iâve found the Smalltalkhub site for it and had two quick questions. 1. Is it compatible with Pharo 6? 2. Is there a manual or getting started document you could point me to? (I love the ability in Pharo to peruse well-documented classes and methods in a package, but for a new user and big package, itâs hard to get started!). Iâve made the jump to creating a class with methods for my small script. Less work than I thoughtâitâs really just a change of thinking. Again, thank you.
