[Bitpim-devel] 0.7-test9

[Roger Binns]

I have uploaded Windows and Linux builds to
http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75211&package_id=76673&release_id=234373

Please can you verify they work on your machines. I
had to do a considerable amount of figuring out packaging
the encodings stuff, together with lots of other fun
stuff. Also note that the Linux version is using Python 2.3
not the 2.2 of earlier builds.

Please post to this list if they work or don't work for you.
I believe everything will be fine.

I will do the actual release tomorrow if no problems are
reported.

On Linux RH9, if I first remove my .bitpim* files, startup bitpim, go to
the Bitpim Settings panel and click the BitFling Enabled button, I get
an exception. If I click on the BitFling settings first, click OK,
there, then I don't get an exception when enabling.

Will you be able to get the comment I made about Sanyo camera downloads
in versionhistory.htd into the official build?

Stephen

An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

I successfully ran bitfling to different Sanyo phones. I just did a
localhost connection, but it was definitely bitfling.

I also tried to run a bitfling client from the CVS version, but the
bitfling options seem to be missing in the settings pane. I did a cvs
-d, but I probably need to go back through the postings to see if there
is something else I need to install.

Yes, you have to have pycrypto installed. Details are on
http://bitpim.sf.net/developer.html

[Stephen Wood]

I got bitfling to work between my CVS copy as client to the 0.7t9 build
as server. This was between different machines running linux. This was
done with the SCP-5500 which I was a little worried about since there
are some hacks in the code for timeouts and resending packets.

I also tried running a server on a WinME machine, but had absolutely no
luck. Nothing ever showed up in the bitfling log on the winme machine.
There are a couple of things I need to try turning off on that machine
(ICS, some spyware blocker), but I'll probably try to a WinXP machine
first.

What BitFling does is remote the API from commport.py. That means
that timeouts which are handled inside those methods are then
on the remote end (eg if it takes 20 seconds to send the request
and the timeout is 3 seconds, the 3 second counter starts on
the remote end).

Consequently I would right thing to happen for all existing code.
The thing that will go wrong is if you watch the clock on the BitPim
end.

As you surmise it is probably firewall. Try doing a telnet to the
port.

[Steven Palm]

Okay, testing...

I get the same exception Stephen reported when clicking enable before
going into the settings on the "Enable bitfling".

After I started bitfling and then launch BitPim and try to do a test, I
get:

Failed: exceptions.Exception: No SSH on the other end: 127.0.0.1/12652

Bitfling log shows:

8:59:49.936: Starting on port 12652
9:00:06.424: No defined users for address ('127.0.0.1', 51572)
9:00:06.312: SSH worker thread 1/5: Connection from ('127.0.0.1',
51572) not accepted

(BTW: I have to put in code to autosize the window on bitfling or it's
another 0x0 window)

It then asks if I want to accept the certificate, but never tells me
that the test "passed". While this window is open, the menubar goes
into a cycle of enable/disable (menu root entries grey out, then come
back, etc...).

Within an hour I will be at work where I can test this on a clean
machine to make sure all dependencies are bundled in and I'll have the
packages to you.

I take that back.... Well, I closed the test window, but the program
was unresponsive. Eventually I gave up and quit BitFling which
triggered an exception and then I got a Success in the BitPim program.
Weird.... It said it succeeded, but the remote version was None.

And later, it failed... It's an encodings issue, the log file in the
bitfling client claimed it didn't know encoding US-ASCII. If I run it
from the dev source tree, not the bundle, it's fine. So, throw me a
bone Roger and let me know what files it's not packaging up. ;-)

In bp.py, add a line doing this:

import encodings.ascii

You may also need a plain "import encodings".

Okay, that worked... Now... I don't have any devices in the bitfling
window to enable, even though the phone is plugged in. Have I missed a
step?

[Stephen Wood]

I don't either. But on the BitPim side, if I browse for devices (with
Bitfling enabled and everyone having the right addresses, usernames and
passwords) I see all the devices show up, with "bitfling::" in their
names. Perhaps this window is a future space for the flinger to
restrict which devices the flingee is allowed to talk to.

Stephen

P.S. Is it BitFling or Bitfling?

Of course you both read the help :-)

http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/bitfling-configure.htm

The expires field is not used and will be removed.

In the future you will be able to limit what devices
can be accessed in the lower pane.

http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/bitfling-security.htm

There is currently no limiting to what ports can be opened
via BitFling by an authenticated user. Unauthenticated users
can't get that far.

Yes, that pane will have a way of limiting ports. (It will
start out with everything disabled, and you will be able to
enable specific ports, as well as particular USB vid/pid
combinations).

Yup.

The former, so that it corresponds to BitPim.

Post by Roger Binns

Uh, Um, Oh, Yeah! :-)

I hope this isn't in the help I read... LoL... But using "auto" on
the remote machine doesn't work... It causes the host machine to show
this:

getting configvalue
value is 1 now about to set config
config set
claiming 1
getting configvalue
value is 1 now about to set config
config set
claiming 2

But it doesn't work. If I manually pick the port bitfling:: it works
fine.

So, having tested it at least to know it *CAN* work if set up right,
I'll build something for you when I get home tonight Roger.

If you select "Auto" for your port, it will not include the BitFling
ports. You need to manually select a BitFling port if you want to
use one.

Basically I figured that if you want to use BitFling ports, you must
manually choose them. You do still get the asterisk telling you
which could be your phone.

LookupError: unknown encoding: US-ASCII

Did an import of encodings or encodings.ascii fix
this?

Feel free to remove that print line as well. I
assume the password which is in Unicode is being
converted to ascii for printing. Removing the
print line should remove the need for that conversion.

I turned off Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing on the WinME server
machine. That helped a lot, I could read from the phone, but I had to
specify the port, browsing got an exception. This happened both with
the client being Linux CVS, or the Linux 0.7test9 build.

Perhaps we should note in the documentation that running ICS on the
target machine can impair bitfling. Maybe picking a smaller port
number, not much above 1024 might help??

The exception is because code in bitfling calls usbscan without checking
that usb is available. (In your case it isn't). I have just committed
a fix.

Windows doesn't treat any port numbers as special. I don't know what
WinME does with ICS to confuse issues. I would imagine it does do
port blocking of some sort.

I do intend to make the Windows BitFling work with uPnP which should
go a long way. But at the end of the day BitFling is an advanced
feature and requires a bit more skill and knowledge by anyone using
it.

BTW here is upnp done in Python:

I will just document this and fix it for the next release. The code
has a little difficulty decoding the obfuscated password when one
hasn't been set already :-)

Other than that it seems it all works fine so I will go ahead and
release what we have.
