frankie July 05, 2011, at 03:00 PM: As a simple workaround, edit the file "gui/web_commanding_server.tcl" and find the line that sets the WCS_FILTER_SOCK variable:

WCS_SERVE_STATIC_ONLY  0
        WCS_FILTER_SOCK        {}
        WCS_FILTER_REQ         {{{headers settings} }}

and edit the line for WCS_FILTER_SOCK to add a space between the curly brackets, so that line becomes:

WCS_FILTER_SOCK        { }

This is helpful for callbacks that want to continue to send stuff down the socket later and will take care of closing down the socket themselves. Also, this workaround should fix the WCS not loading on windows. @] |
