Delphi SOAP service: only publish WSDL in RELEASE mode

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/21

If you want to restrict the WSDL publishing so it only is published in DEBUG mode, then add a [WayBack] TWSDLHTMLPublish to your [WayBack] TWebModule descendant, then add this in the [WayBack] OnCreate event handler of that TWebModule descendant:

// Enable/disable handling of "/wsdl*" requests during DEBUG/RELEASE mode. Enabling sends them via
//  Handled := WSDLHTMLPublish1.DispatchRequest(Sender, Request, Response);
{$ifdef DEBUG}
  WSDLHTMLPublish1.WebDispatch.Enabled := True;
{$endif DEBUG}
{$ifdef RELEASE}
  WSDLHTMLPublish1.WebDispatch.Enabled := False;
{$endif DEBUG}
end;

I have limited this because there are so many hard coded strings in the TWSDLHTMLPublish, see the thread by [WayBack] Marjan Venema at [WayBack] Hide WSDL document in SOAP app – delphi

For my research list: Delphi and ZeroMQ

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/21

Last year, ZeroMQ – of late Pieter Hintjens ancestry – got a decent support library for Delphi https://github.com/grijjy/DelphiZeroMQ.

While writing, there is a reasonable chance I need to do message queue work and ZeroMQ is excellent. I’ve done MQ already in other environments with various projects involving Wintel/iSeries, WebSphere MQ (now IBM MQ, formerly MQSeries), Oracle AQ and Microsofts MSMQ stacks so I’m anxious to see if and how this works out.

Plastic SCM compare versus Beyond Compare; guess which screenshot I like most

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/20

Same difference; two tools.

Plastic SCM compare: lots of clutter

Beyond Compare: just the things that are different.

Drone no-fly zones | ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/20

If you ever want to fly a drone without a license in The Netherlands, be prepared that the flying zones are very limited, especially in : [Archive.is] Drone no-fly zones | ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu

The text isn’t very clear, even to Dutch people, so there is some discussion and explanation in these links:

More temporary airspace restrictions are here:

when bind named service hasn’t started after OpenSuSE Tumbleweed boots

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/20

A while ago, named would not start any more after I rebooted my Tumbleweed systems.

I had this behaviour on multiple systems, each installed quite a while ago and kept up-to-date with zypper dist-upgrade so it looked like a systematic issue.

Below are steps in researching the problem together with the helpful people on the IRC channel opensuse-factory.

Background reading for some of the commands: [WayBack] How To Use Systemctl to Manage Systemd Services and Units | DigitalOcean.

Both systemctl status named.service and systemctl status named would show the same output:

# systemctl status named
● named.service - LSB: Domain Name System (DNS) server, named
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/named; generated; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

Getting the log from events around a reboot would show a successful shutdown, but no start:

# journalctl --unit named --catalog --pager-end

28-Apr-2017 13:19:32.489 network: no longer listening on 127.0.0.1#53

With systemctl, I got this:

# systemctl is-enabled named
named.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled named
enabled
# systemctl is-active named
inactive
# systemctl is-failed named
inactive

After this, I was out of systemd and sysv knowledge, so I asked for help on the #openSUSE-factory IRC channel, where ismail was of great help.

How to check if a binary is 32 or 64 bit on Windows? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/17

It seems there are a few, but only loading the binary is the sure method to know what the process will be using: [WayBack] How to check if a binary is 32 or 64 bit on Windows? – Super User and [WayBack] How do I determine if a .NET application is 32 or 64 bit? – Stack Overflow.

Details in the answers of these questions, here are a few highlights:

  • The first few characters in the binary header reveal what it was originally designed for.
  • A .NET executable might still have an x64 header for bootstrapping.
  • The Windows SDK has a tool dumpbin.exe with the /headers option.
  • You can use sigcheck.exe from SysInternals.
  • The file utility (e.g. from cygwin, which comes with msysgit) will distinguish between 32- and 64-bit executables.
  • Use the command line 7z.exe on the PE file (Exe or DLL) in question which gives you a CPU line.
  • Virustotal File detail is a way to find out if a binary is 32 bit or 64 bit.
  • Even an executable marked as 32-bit can run as 64-bit if, for example, it’s a .NET executable that can run as 32- or 64-bit. For more information see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3782191/how-do-i-determine-if-a-net-application-is-32-or-64-bit, which has an answer that says that the CORFLAGS utility can be used to determine how a .NET application will run.
