[Catalog-sig] [Announce] Catalog Server Prototype Updated

This is what I'm most interested in, so I tried it first, using
swalowsupp.py (adopted to the right host, port, and relative path).
sendFile returned ('TRYAGAIN', ''). From the strace output, I could
see that the server response started with

HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable\r\n
Server: Zope/(unreleased version) ZServer/1.1b1\r\n
Date: Wed, 02 May 2001 07:15:54 GMT\r\n
Bobo-Exception-File: /home/amos/Trunk/lib/python/Products/PythonCatalog/PEP243.py\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Bobo-Exception-Type: NameError\r\n
Connection: close\r\n
Bobo-Exception-Value: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>archive</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR=\#FFFFF\>   <TABLE BORDER=\0\ WIDTH=\100%\> <TR VALIGN=\TOP\>  <TD WIDTH=\10%\ ALIG=\CENTER\> <IMG SRC=\http://pdx:8080/p_/ZButton\ ALT=\Zope\> </TD>  <TD WIDTH=\90%\>   <H2>Zope Error</H2>   <P>Zop\r\n
Content-Length: 2006\r\n
Bobo-Exception-Line: 61\r\n
\r\n

Unfortunately, swalowsupp closed the connection afterwards, so I did
not get to see the 2006 bytes content.

Using another approach, I tried to run Lynx, and Netscape, on the file

<html>
<body>
        <H1>Upload file</H1>
        <FORM NAME="fileupload" METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://63.230.174.230:8080/archive/pep243_accept"
              ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
        <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="distribution"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="distmd5sum"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="pkginfo"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="infomd5sum"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="platform"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="signature"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="protocol_version" VALUE="1"><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload">
        </FORM>
</body>
</html>

Even though I've entered a distribution and a signature, both browsers
would not include them in their HTTP request. Any idea what could be
wrong with that form?

Martin

P.S. In case anybody wants to experiment with it, I include my
modified swalowsupp.py as well. To initiate an upload, do something like

swalowsupp.sendDist("PyXML-0.7.0.tar.gz",
  signature=open("PyXML-0.7.0.tar.gz.asc").read())

#!/usr/bin/env python
