Status2web plugin [0.3.7]

[veselu]

I'll go learn some things. Sorry for those foolish posts and thanks for the help.

Okay one question... I remember you said this once but I can't find it anywhere (not in this thread and not in the one from the Beta Testing forum)... Does the plugin send an empty string to the server when the plugin is unloaded (or when HyperIM is closed)? If yes I guess it would be a good idea to add an "offline string" to Status2Web that would appear when you are "offline" (aka when the last string sent was empty)?

[Codename]

Yes, it sends an empty string.

Latest version: 0.4.1 - August 5 2007

Features
- support for HTTP authentication

- supports proxy connections

Why this 2 features are not compatible? When you select proxy connection, the HTTP authentication disappears.

Because most probably you would authenticate to the proxy itself, not to the target URL (which is forwarded by the proxy). If you know any HTTP headers which are forwarded by the proxy let me know.

The connect() failed error happened once again. I left it for like 10 minutes and I could access the server in those 10 minutes but it was still giving the error. It's true, my connection was failing (my router is cr*p) but not all the time. As soon as I disabled/reenabled the plugin, it worked perfectly.

I have no idea what why, but here's what I did before this happened:
I have 3 entries in the s2w plugin. One is disabled. Now, one of the two active entries had been giving 404 errors for a while (I think it gave like 15-20 404 errors) -- I was making some changes on localhost. So, I checked Disable sending updates to this entry, for now. More or less as soon as I did that, the connect() errors started coming (they were for the last remaining entry, of course) . As I said, it could've been a connection problem at first, but I pinged the server and accessed it via http afterwards and it was working, but s2w was still giving connect() failed! errors.

Plugin version: 0.4.1 build 43.

Anyway, it's a minor issue because I didn't have any problems with this version since it has been released.

I have a question: what character encoding does this plugin use to send the status over the network?

I noticed this: some characters (for example the "dagger" character -- †) show correctly in a user's html page ( http://status2web.ath.cx/status/Znupi.html ) but they don't show correctly in their image ( http://status2web.ath.cx/status/Znupi.png ). Now, I noticed that I had forgotten to put a charset on the page, so it was set to the browser's default -- ISO-8859-1. When I set the page's charset to UTF-8, I noticed that it wasn't displaying the character correct. So, I thought I should convert the string to UTF-8 and tried:

utf8_encode($sStatus);
iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $sStatus);
iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8//TRANSLIT", $sStatus);

But none of them worked .

There is no character encoding. It's plain ANSI.

I believe that the site Status2Web.ath.cx is down. I dont know if this will be perminent or not. Does anyone know of any other alternatives ?  I wish I knew of a server software i could use here at my home but i do not know of one. I use HFS server.

The status2web.ath.cx website is up and running. Maybe its ip and/or domain name are blocked by your browser / firewall / router / ISP?

status2web.ath.cx is down? Because the website is not loading and Firefox gives me this error:

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.     

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

HyperIM gives an error too:

POST /store HTTP/1.1

[Znupi]

Yeah sorry about that, there was a power out here and my server shut down. I rebooted it now, it should work.

Im trying to develop a plugin in python. As Im going, I have to restart QGIS to test my code. Is there a way to reload one or all plugins, possibly from the python console? That would make development quicker.
