I learned a lot about my coding abilities today. It was quite apparent that I am a Business major and not a Computer Science major.
I spent the evening trying to combine Julian Robichaux’s SHA-1 encryption script with an HMAC-MD5 script I found on expert-exchange. I’m a loser at this stuff. Bit shifting… endians??? I have no idea if I am close to a solution or not. Luckily, there are test cases out there to verify my results.
I tried uploading the Amazon AWS WSDL to Notes Designer 8 but I kept getting an error: “Cannot Find AmazonS3.xsd”
I found it easier to download the files from http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/. First download “AmazonS3.wsdl” then download (into the same directory) “AmazonS3.xsd.” Once downloaded, install the WSDL directly from the local folder.
What am I doing with Amazon’s Web Services?
I’m trying to get S3 (Simple Storage Service) to work with Lotus Notes. My current road block is finding (or… coding) a HMAC-SHA1 LotusScript function. Could I do this a lot easier with Java? Yes.
This might be my first LotusScript class. I found it while hunting for previously written code:
QueryStringHelper:
Class QSHelper
Private parms List As String
'querystring = agentcontextdoc.query_string_decoded(0)
Sub New(querystring As String)
On Error Goto catcherror
Dim keys As Variant
Dim values As Variant
Dim evalString As String
Dim x As Integer
evalstring = {@Left(@Explode(@URLDecode("Domino";"} + querystring + {");"&");"=");}
keys = Evaluate(evalString)
evalstring = {@Right(@Explode(@URLDecode("Domino";"} + querystring + {");"&");"=");}
values = Evaluate(evalString)
If (Isarray(keys) And Isarray(values)) Then
If (Ubound(keys) = Ubound(values)) Then
For x = 0 To Ubound(keys)
parms(keys(x)) = values(x)
Next
End If
End If
exitsub:
Exit Sub
catcherror:
Print Cstr(Error) + " at line " + Cstr(Erl)
Resume exitsub
End Sub
Public Function getParmValue(keyname As String) As String
If (Iselement ( parms ( keyname ) )) Then
getParmValue = parms(keyname)
Else
getParmValue = ""
End If
End Function
End Class
A hillarious question is asked at ParentDish (a parents blog):
Surviving Christmas desktop backgrounds can be downloaded here.
I keep hoping the movie will be released on UMD (psp format) but no news.
OmniFind Yahoo edition isn’t working out the way I hoped. For some reason I was thinking it would crawl my filesystem and understand NSFs. I think I had delusions of grandeur at that moment.
I would like to see how it crawl’s an NSF url but I need a test web server. I can just imagine how badly I would screw things up if I crawled an application server.
We had a user who decided to download websites to their laptop. Well… when you crawl (or download) a web application, it fires off every link it finds. It doesn’t matter if that web link calls a delete agent. All of the data was gone in about 15 minutes.
