  168: 	  <li>
  169: 	    First login to the CSE machine using the username guest__
  170: 	    and the password CAPA4all.
  171: 	  </li>
  172: 	  <li>
  173: 	    Bring up a terminal by clicnking on the monitor icon with
  174: 	    a foot at the bottom of the screen.
  175: 	  </li>
  176: 	  <li>
  177: 	    Start up a netscape by typing netscape&amp; in the terminal.
  178: 	  </li>
  179: 	  <li>
  180: 	    telnet from the terminal to data.lite.msu.edu, login using
  181: 	    your username and the password guts
  182: 	  </li>
  183: 	  <li>
  184: 	    Login into LON-CAPA in netscape by pointing the browser at
  185: 	    http://data.lite.msu.edu and typing in your username and
  186: 	    guts
  187: 	  </li>
  188: 	</ol>
  189:       </li>
  190:       <li> 
  191: 	Using the terminal edit the file ~/username.pm using your
  192: 	favorite unix text editor and type in example 1
  193:       </li>
  194:       <li>
  195: 	Point netscape at "http://data.lite.msu.edu/adm/username". You
  196: 	should see a the simple message the handler prints out.
  197:       </li>
  198:       <li>
  199: 	Change ~/username.pm to be what is in Example 2, the
  200: 	italicized line is the only one that changed.
  201:       </li>
  202:       <li>
  203: 	In netscape reload
  204: 	"http://data.lite.msu.edu/adm/username". You should see the
  205: 	output of the handler should now have your username, which it
  206: 	got from the session enviroment.
  207:       </li>
  208:       <li>
  209: 	Next in netscape goto
  210: 	"http://data.lite.msu.edu/~username/a.username". You should
  211: 	see the same output as before.
  212:       </li>
  213:       <li>
  214: 	Using the terminal edit the file ~/public_html/a.username and
  215: 	put in it example5 using your favorite unix text editor.
  216:       </li>
  217:       <li>
  218: 	Change ~/username.pm to be what is in Example 3, the
  219: 	italicized lines are changed and the bold lines should be
  220: 	added.
  221:       </li>
  222:       <li>
  223: 	In netscape reload
  224: 	"http://data.lite.msu.edu/~username/a.username". You should
  225: 	see the output of the handler contains the contents of the file
  226: 	that you created along with the name of the file.
  227:       </li>
  228:       <li>
  229: 	Change ~/username.pm to be what is in Example 4, the
  230: 	bold line should be added.
  231:       </li>
  232:       <li>
  233: 	In netscape reload
  234: 	"http://data.lite.msu.edu/~username/a.username". You should
  235: 	see the output of the handler contains the contents of the
  236: 	file that you created along with the name of the file, except
  237: 	that this time all instances of the word "simple" have been
  238: 	replaced with the word "complex", this includes the one in the
  239: 	title and the one in the body of the file.
  240:       </li>
  241:       <li>
  242: 	<ol>
  243: 	  <li>
  244: 	    Change what is in ~/username.pm to be what is in Example
  245: 	    5. The bold section of code needs to be added.
  246: 	  </li>
  247: 	  <li>
  248: 	    Change what is in ~/public_html/a.username to be what is
  249: 	    in Example 7. The bold section needs to be added
  250: 	  </li>
  251: 	  <li>
  252: 	    In netscape reload
  253: 	    "http://data.lite.msu.edu/~username/a.username". The web
  254: 	    page should now contain a form, and say that an error
  255: 	    occured.
  256: 	  </li>
  257: 	  <li>
  258: 	    Type someting into the form field and click the submit button.
  259: 	  </li>
  260: 	  <li>
  261: 	    The handler should still report an error, but also echo
  262: 	    back what you typed into the error handler.
  263: 	  </li>
  264: 	  <li>
  265: 	    Type in the terminal
  266: 	    <pre>
  267: ls -l /home/httpd/lonUsers/msu/u/s/e/username/
  268: 	    </pre>
  269: 	    Notice that there is a username.db file and a
  270: 	    username.hist file.
  271: 	  </li>
  272: 	  <li>
  273: 	    Type in the terminal
  274: 	    <pre>
  275: cat /home/httpd/lonUsers/msu/u/s/e/username/username.hist
  276: 	    </pre>
  277: 	    You should see the information that you submitted.
  278: 	  </li>
  279: 	  <li>
  280: 	    In netscape revisit
  281: 	    "http://data.lite.msu.edu/~username/a.username". (Do
  282: 	    this by hitting return in the URL field of netscape, Don't
  283: 	    use the reload button.) Notice that the handler no longer
  284: 	    has an error. Also notice that the handler tells you what
  285: 	    you said last time.
  286: 	  </li>
  287: 	  <li>
  288: 	    Type something new into the text field and hit submit. The
  289: 	    handler should tell you the first submission and the last
  290: 	    submission.
  291: 	  </li>
  292: 	</ol>
  293:       </li>
  294:       <li>
  295: 	Extra credit: convert Example 5 to use store/restore instead
  296: 	of the get/put. You will need to publish a .username file and
  297: 	include it into a map. (Note that violin.sequence is the
  298: 	toplevel map for you course.
  299:       </li>
  300:       <li>
  301: 	Extra credit: Use Apache::lonxml::xmlparse to properly process the html file.
  302: 	Use &lt;window&gt;&lt;/window&gt; in your example .username file.
  303:       </li>
  304:     </ol>
  305:     <h2>Helpful Notes</h2>
  306:     <ul>
  307:       <li>
  308: 	If you the error handler does come up, the first bold line
  309: 	will indicate what error the server process detected.
  310:       </li>
  311:       <li>
  312: 	Remember that Apache::lonnet::put and Apache::lonnet::get
  313: 	store data that is user wide. I use them for simplicity sake
  314: 	here. Every .username file will read and write to the same
  315: 	data location in the last example. Use store/restore if you
  316: 	want to have data stored per unique resource instance in a
  317: 	specific course. However this means that store/restore will
  318: 	through errors if you attempt to use them in a context in
  319: 	which a resource isn't published or isn't uniquely identified
  320: 	(i.e. browsing resources.)
  321:       </li>
