Re: [STDS-802-16] changes to 802.16 server
One strange thing I've undergone is when I try to upload a .doc file,
a blank document with size zero is uploaded instead.
I don't have this problem with .USR files, though.
All of them were successfully uploaded.

Hi all!
I found an upload problem when there are non-English characters in
filename or path of the file.
You'd better locate your upload files in the root directory and upload
them if your windows environment is not English based.
Best regards.

Title : Re: [STDS-802-16] changes to 802.16 server
I've set up a better system for uploading a file after reserving the
number.
If you reserve "filename.rsv", you can now upload "filename.pdf",
"filename.doc", etc., without adding "r0" or "r1".
To do so, simply check the "I have already reserved this file name" box
that now appears below the file selector box.
Of course, anyone else can use this method to steal your number, but no
one will do that intentionally. The check box should keep people from
doing it accidentally.
Please let me know if you run into any problems with this.

>>I've made some changes on the upload server
<http://upload.wirelessman.org>. Some of these changes have been
installed since last week, and others are new as of today:
>>
>>(a) I've split the "Description" field into three fields: Title,
Authors, and "Contributor affiliations or other notes". This will make
it easier (and therefore faster) for me to convert the upload
directories into indexed web site directories. The first two fields are
mandatory. The "notes" field will be recorded on the upload directory
but not carried over to the web site.
>>
>>(b) I instituted a bunch of file name compliance tests. This should
help to police the numbering rules and reduce naming errors and filename
duplication. Three-digit serial numbers are now required, so revisions
of old 2004 contributions with two-digit serial numbers will be refused.
At this point, I think it's time to update these to a 2005 serial
number.
>>
>>(c) The process for reserving a serial number has been simplified. A
dummy file is no longer required. Instead of using the "Browse..."
button to select a file, simply type the appropriate reservation number
into the box next to that button. The reservation number is the serial
number you wish to reserve, with "rsv" in place of the file extension
(e.g, "C80216e-05_ijk.rsv").
>>
>>(d) Proposed file names are now refused if they overlap an existing
file name, excluding the extension. This means that you cannot upload
somefilename.doc if somefilename.pdf, or somefilename.rsv, have already
been submitted. When you go to make use of your reserved file name, you
will need to call it revision "r1". [Kind of a nuisance for you, but it
will keep someone else from accidentally stealing your reserved number.
Maybe someday I'll rewrite this part of the script.]

>>On a related topic, I have shut down the server in my house and
replaced it with an account on a hosted server. I registered a new URL
for this purpose: <http://dot16.org>. The XXX.wirelessman.org URLs all
are pointed correctly. In the past, these were all blocked by China's
Great Firewall, so no one in China could access the server. I was hoping
that moving the server to a static IP address would un-block these URLs,
but this doesn't seem to have happened. If you run into this problem,
just the URL <http://dot16.org>, from which you will find working links
to the other services.
>>
>>The site <http://dot16.org> is the new location for all our CGI
processing (upload server, WG ballots, and session registration). Since
it's continuously up; we won't lose it during sessions.
>>
>>For the sessions, I'll be bringing a new server. Actually, it's my old
Macintosh laptop, but it works great for this purpose. I'll copy the
upload server onto the laptop and turn off all further uploads to the
web site for the duration of the meeting. I'll also be running the
attendance logs on the laptop.
