Tcl/Tk 8.5.7 supplied with HTTP/1.0 ?
in [TCL]
|
From: Zbigniew Diaczyszyn on 18 Feb 2010 11:02 I am working with ActiveState Tcl version 8.5.7 and when I try to access the Amazon S3-Server (REST-architecture) I get the message: http::code: HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version Not Supported The manual lets assume that the package http has HTTP1.1 implemented: "http - Client-side implementation of the HTTP/1.1 protocol" but looking into the lib I see only a package for HTTP/1.0: /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/lib/tcl8.5/http1.0 Looking in "http.tcl" for the Procedure "geturl" I find the line: puts $s "$how $srvurl HTTP/1.0" So I don't know. Unfortunately there is no possibility to get an echo of what http::geturl does. The request is done by the following call: set response [http::geturl "$url/$key" \ -method "POST $url/$key$filename" \ -type "multipart/form-data; boundary=$boundary" \ -query $query]

That's for version 1 of the http *package*, which is kept around for old scripts. Version 2 should also be present in 8.5.* (if not, your installation is broken) and that has some support for HTTP/1.1; it's much better in 8.6 but that's still beta. Donal.

More precisely, releases http 2.7.* have some HTTP/1.1 support and releases http 2.8.* are better. http 2.8.* requires Tcl 8.6. DGP

But I found a way to check if the actual implemented http package is announcing itself to a server with HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1: There is a Http request command named TRACE which returns the client's request. I tried it with my own server which is running apache: %set sock [::http::geturl http://zdia.homelinux.org -method TRACE] ::http::2 % puts [::http::data $sock] TRACE / HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Connection: close Host: zdia.homelinux.org User-Agent: Tcl http client package 2.7.5 So this issue is solved and I can go on to try a communication with the amazon server: %set sock [::http::geturl http://s3.amazonaws.com -method TRACE] ::http::8 % puts [::http::code $sock] HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed >:-(

With the different ways that Tcl modules are packaged, looking in lib/ isn't straightforward anymore. The easiest thing to do is open up a console (or tkcon) and say 'package require http' and see what version it gives. tkcon also has an Interp -> Manage Packages to give you more info. The newer http package happens to be packaged as a module in AT 8.5, and you will find it at C:\Tcl\lib\tcl8\8.4\http-2.7.5.tm Jeff |
