development release version 9.0.6

• full functional HTTPD server mode on all OSs
• other changes, additions and bug fixes
The newLISP server mode now supports HTTP with GET/POST CGI and 'net-eval' requests at the same time.
There was no 9.0.5 released so read both the 9.0.5 and 9.0.6 chapters in the change notes.
For files and change noted see:
http://newlisp.org/downloads/development/
Lutz
ps: for the HTTP mode on Win32 make sure there is a C:\tmp directory

Running demo.lsp gives this error in random.lsp:
symbol is protected in function nth : rand
called from user defined function tk
called from user defined function Random:fireworks
called from user defined function Random:run
Seems the new nth breaks this:
(nth (rand 16) colors)

Also my application from the 2005er contest is broken now with the new nth!
Seems to have not wanted side effects!

Code: Select all
(nth(find "DE" (list "DE" "EN"))(list "1" "2" "3"))
symbol is protected in function nth : find

Ooops I did not catch this case. I will retract the current development release.

That would be the same reason for:
> (set 'a (list 10 20 30))
(10 20 30)
> (nth (+ 1 1) a)
symbol is protected in function nth : +

On another note (but related to new devel version), how can I use the server attributes of newlisp with a handler function?
newlisp -x 8080 my-httpd
(define (x-event .....)
That does not seem to exist any longer?

newLISP development version 9.0.6 has been withdrawn because of a critical error in the 'nth' function.
Version 9.0.7 with 'nth' rolled back to 9.0.5 behavior will be posted soon.
Lutz
ps: x-event has been eliminated because of built-in server mode.

What do you mean? Are you speaking of the built in web server? It would seem that in many circumstances you would want to respond in a like manner with x-event type handling to services not having anything to do with http?

Jeremy: you can simulate the old x-event mode with newlisp server mode. Start newlisp using:
myprog contains:
Code: Select all
(while (set 'line (read-line))
(print (upper-case line)))
(exit)
now with telnet try this:
Code: Select all
Escape character is '^]'.
llll
LLLLdfgsdfgsdfg
DFGSDFGSDFGsdfgsdgsdfg
SDFGSDGSDFG
Or you start without myprog and can enter newLISP expressions. Instead of telnet you could have another program connecting. Read all about it here:
