More frequent progress update when uploading

Piero Salandin — Wed, 25 Jun 2003 13:07:26 -0000

Actually it seems that in a file download process every
one second the OnFTPStatus with scProgress is fired;
when uploading, instead, it seems to be fired every 32K
sent bytes. Would like it to be issued with the same
constant frequency as downloading.

Thanks

Enhance SMTP client to attach files that are still open

Julian — Wed, 22 Jan 2003 12:11:22 -0000

basically change the mapped memory stream to operate
under shared mode if the file is readonly.

There is a requirement that the email system can attach
a file that is currently open

fix smtp client so that exceptions in the process of
sending cause the component to close and reset itself.

In multi-message send, would like to send more messages after resetting a message

Hello. Some months ago I wrote asking about error handling in the SMTP
Client. Well, finally I've written a program using 1.14 of iPro. I
have to say that, so far, I'm having pretty good luck.

My goal is to create a platform that will allow us to do big mailings to
our students and alums. I need the program to be able to survive little
hicups like the following, which transcribes the progress of a mailing
to 677 people. There was a mistaken line in the file of addresses which
contained just "2A." That got sent to the smtp server, which apparently
didn't like it.

My question is this: what approach should I take to keep the mailing
going? Note that in this case I start the task with SendMail, each
person gets her own mail, which is organized by the OnNextMessage event.

Thanks for your advice.

More fun with logging. Below is the transcript of a session in which I
try to send an email to four addresses (the 3rd is invalid) with a whole
lotta logging going on. What I've tried is to reset the server when I
detect this 553 error. You can see the state change event fires in
response to that but OnNextMessage does not happen again, as the dox say
it will (see Reset). Somehow we just go right on into the task being
completed.

1. Where are these noops coming from?

2. why doesn't the OnNextMessage happen as Reset promisses?

3. why does the task change (apparently) from sendmail to "I'm having an
error?" What I was looking for was an event that let me say "I can
handle this one" but I didn't see anything like that.

Load RAS DLLs dynamically

In a application using your ipRas, this component, during its initialisation,
try to load staticaly the RAS dll's (RASMAN, RASSCRPT and RASAPI32 ) .

The problem is that with NT, for example, the RAS service is not always
installed. In this case, an error message is displayed as soon as the program
is loaded even if the code does not use the IpRas component.

I think that you should have to load the RAS system dll's dynamically, and set
a property to tell if the RAS service is available on the machine.

Hi,

I have a server app that collects emails from various mailboxes,
the supporting database for this app is flashfiler,
the problem that i have is that lengthy routines/loops that
hog the system, cause timeout problems with flashfiler,
all my own routines yield to this situation and thus i have no problem,
the ipmailmessage savetofile routine encodes and copy from stream to
filestream
with a large email ie 3Mb upwards takes an age,
what i need is someway to have the app recieve periodic refresh
in my own routines i can use app.procemessages or postmessage.

how can i have refresh function during

{- Save raw message stream to file }
procedure TIpMessage.SaveToFile(const aFileName : string);
var
FS : TFileStream;
begin
EncodeMessage; // maybe busy in here
Position := 0;
FS := TFileStream.Create(aFileName, fmCreate);
try
FS.CopyFrom(MsgStream, MsgStream.Size); // busy here
finally
FS.Free;
end;
end;

i hope you get the jist of my problem

regards dave wood paracom system uk.

Provide access to protected vars

[I apologize, I've re-posted this msg to start a new thread for clarity]

For those of us using your components as so much more than a simple HTML
Browser, your design team needs to provide Accesor/Mutator methods to allow
a programmer using your components to have direct access to such things as
the following:
================
TIpHtml.FHotNode
TIpHtmlPanel.MasterFrame
TIpHtmlFrame.HyperPanel
================

I say this because in order to achieve at least two of the functionalities I
was after... your tech support people had to demonstrate for me how to
"hack" into your class hierarchy to have access to the above mentioned
protected variables.

Don't get me wrong.... I am grateful that your personnel are helpful,
creative & smart enough to think about and show me these techniques to
achieve the desired goal... however, as a developer hoping to use your
product in the long term it really makes me worry about the future
possibility of your engineers possibly changing the internals of the objects
(and they would do so without fear since they are protected vars) and
potentially breaking these critical pieces of "hacked-in" code.

You've got a great product here... now let's make it even BETTER!

Add support for loop count in animated GIFs

Netscape added an extension to GIFs that allows for a loop count to be
specified. There may be some other way to specify how many times the image is
to be looped. The attached example is only supposed to be looped once, stopping
at the last frame. The example was submitted by Scott Woods, 8/9/2002, in the
iPRO newsgroup.

Write text after last MIME part to end of saved message

At the end of the last mime part, there is some text. This is
explicitly allowed by RFC. This text is moved at the beginning of the
message.

From Sean: The problem is that the text before the 1st MIME part and the text
after the last MIME part are both read into the body. Thus all of the text is
written to the same part of the message when the body is written to a file or
stream.

I wrote a tech tip on it but it would be good to have an actual example
installed with the product.
