Thank you all for so many great questions and responses! I don't have
time to give a comprehensive response right now but (1) I'll whittle
away at it and (2) all your comments renew my hope that a solution is
out there waiting for me to find it.
Quick responses:
- I too would start by going back to LC 6.6.x on the server if I could,
but apparently the recent server upgrades - new hardware running LC
9.5.1 - are not backward compatible. That's what I'm told at least.
- The LC client app is POSTing a request to an LC CGI system on an
on-rev server. The server system assembles a data packet (normally an
encoded array), encrypts & encodes it and writes it back to the client.
The packet can be any size up to maybe a megabyte or two, but that would
be pretty big. Normally the packet size is no more than a few hundred KB.
Thanks again -
Phil

Phil,
I had a problem with a GET request with a url encoded url in a parameter
after the upgrade. There are new security rules. I changed it to a POST and
it then worked. I am changing my apps to use a POST. Robin had lifted the
new security rule for me temporarily until all the apps are updated. One
other thing, the new MySQL server is now Maria DB. It is functionally the
same but I noticed if you have a column with no default value but is
required and the field is not in the SQL update then it throws an error.
MySQL did not do this.

Subject: on-rev server upgrade-related problems
Has anyone had part or all of an on-rev server-based system stop working
since the server upgrades a month or so ago?
My client has an on-rev.com-based training system. Training delivery is via
web browser, and that part continues to work. But there are several desktop
apps that provide training development, management and real-time monitoring.
All of those apps became non-functional as soon as the upgrades were done,
and remain so. I haven't been able to figure out how to restore
functionality.
Robin in on-rev support has been very helpful, but we still don't have a
solution. This is the bug report:

I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but in a way I'm hoping it isn't just us.
Thanks -
Phil Davis
