Hello I send that mail a few days before and it becomes lost for what reason Thank you very much for the implementation of my suggestion AMAYA_USER_HOME I use it under Linux and Windows 95/98/NT/XP and can use Amaya from an read only share with a preconfigured user directory on that share; thanks again. I'm writing an Java HTTP-Server which can handle put-requests and I observed some problems: (1) What I did is I set a break point in my method-switch of the http server and see for each save of amaya a HEAD-, a PUT- and GET-request. After the Head a dialog ask me If I want ot overwrite the file. Then the PUT and the GET happend (I configured amaya to check the PUT with a GET to test my server). (2) The problems are: (a) No problem with the head (b) Because of the break point in my code neither the PUT nor the GET are handled until I resume the thread the break point is in. But Amaya tells me -- before I resumed any thread -- that the PUT has failed and asks me to ignore this "error". I think a server-timeout is the correct behaviour for such a situation. (c) If I don't set any breakpoint I get sometimes also the "bad PUTmessage" from the GET-verify, but if I look on the page with another browser the put seams to work. I know form my breakpoint-test that amaya does a concurrent PUT- / GET-request and I believe Amaya assumes that its requests are queued on the server. My server handles the request in differenet threads. And I believe that Amaya's GET fetches the old file, because the PUT has not finsihed. I don't think that is a bug in my server but Amaya's GET has to wait for the end of the PUT request. (3) In extension to my mail for the improved HTTP-Authentication Dialog, I think Amaya should become configurable to show the File part of the PUT-method in an HTML-window, if such an file exists. This makes dialogs with the user possible if hte server thinks that it may help somebody in someway. Kind Regards mle -- Markus Maier Homepage: http://www.neze.de
