      From: nospam.g00r00@f215.n129.z1.fidonet.org               AG> I was wondering if there was ways I could access things like        AG> user/message/file info through some sort of an API (like by creating MPL        AG> scripts or something) so I can access the information from the website        AG> I'm creating. Or, if there is a copy of the structures, I could read        AG> the data files by accessing it through an externally written tool.              Yes you can do those things.              The structures are included in Mystic in the docs folder if you wanted to       create a CGI-BIN or FastCGI type application. The message base format is JAM       which is a standard and there are libraries that can read that data too.       Mystic used to have a web interface back in the late 90s but I lost the source       code. It used the CGI/FastCGI method.              I think some people have done some basic PHP and Python wrappers in the past       although I don't know where to find those.              MPL and Mystic Python run from within Mystic only for now. I was planning on       building out the web server scripting a bit but I haven't been working on much       lately outside of small fixes and features, so I don't know if/when that will       happen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
