Probably the DVD Copy / Paste function could do that. Sorry for the very tardy reply.

I wish had the ability to understand all of that, but I don't. Way too confusing for me, I'm sorry.

My overall reaction is that, so far, you have not been able to use the last two tools I built for you, spending many hours of coding and testing. So it is difficult for me to think about doing any more of that.

If I recall, you have an obsolete OS and refuse to upgrade, so I was never clear whether the errors you encountered trying to use my plugins were due to my programming bugs, or your system.

Am I incorrect in what I remember? If so, I am happy to be corrected and change my thinking.

One of the tools I seem to remember already has both the common names and BY info. But I think you can't use the tool. So why would I build another one? And that tool, by the way, always uses current data, directly from the web site and online database.

Can you confirm you can use the tools I already wrote? If so, then please state your ideas in the simplest possible way, in terms of changes you propose to my existing tools.

Way above my pay grade or ability to understand. Too many words (movie hint: Mozart).

I am always impressed to see the "HTTPJolie available" banner on your tools. You have taken advantage of my efforts in a way beyond my wildest dreams when I wrote that plugin. I thank you for that.

To make sure I understand, when used with DoubleDips, the benefit to the user is that they are not required to manage an XML export?

Interesting. I will take a look at WebView2. If it solves the issues I had building CLTBoss,  I will jump on it, because that would make the tool run at least 10 times faster.

Wow this has the makings of a really nice editor. Can you in fact fill in missing info? Then send the updated profile to the local database?

Interesting thought, but ultimately a lot of  work for little gain, I think. I will, however, add code to let the user select the profile and open it for editing. Not a great time saver, but it saves a couple of keystrokes. As I have indicated before, I don't want to try to do things that is better done in Profiler itself.

Good point. But I'm thinking long term (   ha, ha from a 79 year old). And doesn't HTTPJolie have a profile update from xml? If not, I can make it so.

What is a Dollar Tree disc with common UPCs. Can you show us an example? Are they legitimate?

Never mind, I found an example and explanation here.

Way way back, I recall making a proposal for "gold profiles" or something like that.

It was based on a very handy mechanism that profiler has built-in: Profile files.

A very simple "cloud" would be a repository of approved profile files, indexed by title, profile ID, etc.

Management of the profile files including updates, mapping to a web presentation (pHpProfiler), automated backups, etc. could be performed by a set of special plugins running on a cloud copy of DVD Profiler, whose database is in fact the master database. The plugins could control upload / download of profile files, either approved or pending, as well as user interfaces for the profile approval process by screeners.

Crude, yes, but relatively easy to implement without a lot of sophisticated coding. Everything based on essentially the desktop version of profiler.

Yeah, I was expecting that answer. But I gave it a shot.

I was wondering if the two Tools Titans, GSyren and DJ get together and cobble a "just in case" watered down version of Profiler? 

I'm too old and tired, but I would of course do whatever they asked to help out.

It occurred to me that Ken / Family are actually giving us the lead time to do something like that. For whatever reason they have not responded to requests to sell or share the internals, but at least they have provided ample time for the community to fashion a lifeline before he / they are forced to shut down.

I have absolutely no inside information. Merely conjecture on my part.

Hopefully I will get a chance to check it out tomorrow, but I never know. Should I uninstall the old one first?
No. All my plugins automatically uninstall.

I realize now that I have been treading all over Gunnar's turf.  Thanks to mreeder50 for using my email. Let's continue that way, or via PM or the HTTPJolie thread from now on.

I apologize for that, but I didn't see a link to download. When I went to digital download everything had expired, so I figured I had to reorder.

That's OK. It just gets me confused when I think I am making it easy, but somehow it isn't. I forgot to renew the expiration date. And somehow I thought I had attached the file to the email, so there was no link required.

Anyway, now that you have you got it, did it work?

Thanks, I will try as soon as I have time. Should I uninstall the last version or just install overtop of it?
I see you reordered anyway, even though I sent it to you.

From the HTTPJolie thread:
Quoting mediadogg:
Quote:

The plugin, when available, is hosted here.

Documentation (usage, tips and hints, sample code) is available here.

Video overview is available here.

HTTP GET Requests Command Reference is here.

Just login and go to digital downloads and get it. No need to "buy" it again.

However, I also sent you a copy by email just in case.

Seems like with the recent change in SSL certificate enforcement in browsers, you need to use "http" instead of "https" for HTTPJolie browser requests. Sample Client(3.0 is current) works ok with https. You will get the same warning about insecure web site, as with Invelos.

Fixing applications and web sites for the new SSL procedures that the industry has adopted is a nightmare for us little guys. And for Invelos also it seems, at least we can connect, but is is insecure.

Thanks for the new set of messages. Funny thing is I can't find that line of code. I sent you the install file for what I think is the latest version V 1.55. See if anything changes.

Sorry about the useless info, but sometimes when you get on a roll, you tend to get lost and forget where you were going along the way. I will try to pay closer attention to what you are asking me to do. But, as a former IT guy, I tend to drift sometimes.

That's OK. I was really happy to see the error message. And once again, it would really help if you could do the browser test (DVD Profiler elevated). If that works, it will be a good debugging clue and save me time in getting the problem fixed.

Running elevated is not the problem. Are you actually reading my posts?

Please stop doing extra miscellaneous things. When I ask for specific things, please just do them, The messages you sent includes things I didn't ask, but do NOT show screen shots of what I asked for - a waste of your time and mine.

(1) DO NOT CONTINUE TO TEST WITH MY IP ADDRESS. IT WAS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. USE ONLY YOUR IP ADDRESS 192.168.1.182 The only screen shot you sent me of the response to ping was when using my address. Useless, because of course you cannot connect to my machine.

(2) There is no need to "try every port". I told you exactly which ones to use. This leads to useless work and confusion. BYCheck uses the TCP default of 41415. USE THAT ONE AND NOTHING ELSE. IT IS ALSO THE DEFAULT FOR HTTPJOLIE TCP MODE.

(3) On the matter of elevation: YOU DO NOT NEED IT FOR GSYREN TOOLS.

(4) On the matter of elevation: YES, YOU DO NEED IT FOR COMMANDS FROM A BROWSER. I requested that you try it and tell me what happened. You did not. Once again, with DVD Profiler running elevated, type into the browser: https://192.168.1.182:41395?cmd="ping"

(5) I requested you to test using the sample client.  You did not. You only showed me a screen shot of it running, but you didn't actually use to test for me, which might have given me some info.

Finally, I congratulate you    for finally sending me the error message you get when loading. Why nobody ever thinks to tell the developer about the messages, I will never understand. The message identifies exactly the line of code that is causing the error, so now maybe I can fix it. It is vey likely the same thing that is causing magmadrag a problem. But so far, nobody has ever told me about the error messages.

So, I will try to be as clear as possble:

(1) The error message you showed indicated that there is a bug. It might be the reason you are not connecting.
(2) However, if the plugin is still loading, then it would be helpful if you try the HTTP /  Browser / DVD Profiler elevated test of #4 above and report results. I DO NOT REQUEST ANYTHING ELSE  OF YOU AT THIS TIME. THIS ONE TEST WILL HELP ME FIX THE BUG.

I will updload a version of HTTPJoile that attempts to fix the bug as soon as possible.
