Red Tea

What is it?

Red Tea is an open source File Service custom built for Teacup/Saucer

How does it work?

When Red Tea starts, it looks for any notecards in the prim, reads them, converting and wrapping any notecards with names ending with ".tsp", then storing them in memory, waiting for a request from the Teacup server. If the number of notecards changes it waits 3 seconds then restarts.

Format Requirments?

Red Tea reads a modified html page from a notecard

  • For html content, the notecard name should end with ".tsp"
  • For html content, the notecard contents are limited to what's valid inside a normal html "body" tag.
  • no more than 255 bytes per line in the notecard (this is an LSL limitation)

Quick Start

So you don't want to read a bunch of tech babble, you just want to make a website in a prim right? Well I can sympathize so here are some (mostly) easy steps to get you up and running fast...

  1. Rez a box and name it something creative, like "My website"
  2. Copy the text in the grey box below Code: teacup.js into a notecard named "teacup.js", save it, and drop it in your rezzed box
    • You May want to Edit this file to your liking first... You can add most valid javascript functions that do not rely on body onload behavior.
  3. Copy the text in the grey box below Code: teacup.css into a notecard named "teacup.css", save it, and drop it in your rezzed box
    • You May want to Edit this file to your liking first... You can use any valid css.
  4. Copy the text in the grey box below Code: Sample Index.tsp into a notecard named "index.tsp", save it, and drop it in your rezzed box
    • You May want to Edit this file to your liking first... You can use any html that is valid inside of a body tag.
  5. Copy the text in the grey box below Code: Sample Page1.js into a notecard named "page1.tsp", save it, and drop it in your rezzed box
    • You May want to Edit this file to your liking first... You can use any html that is valid inside of a body tag.
  6. Copy the text in the grey box below Code: Red Tea into a script named "Red Tea v0.3.1", save it, and drop it in your rezzed box
  7. Go here and start at step 2...

Notes

Compatible Servers and Extensions


  • Teacup - SIP front end
  • Red Tea - A very simple SIP back end File Service for a starting point.
  • Tea Strainer - Optional Troubleshooting Monitor for checking messages being sent and received.

Known Bugs


  • Extra line break inserted at the end of every ".tsp" or text file
  • If the server request a file that has a notecard, before that notecard is finished loading, a 200 "Success" response will be generated and an empty file will be served.
  • Loading large files before small ones may lock them out if the buffer limit is reached. Try to read small files first. (they are read in alphabetic order)

Planned Upgrades


  • None really, the intent is to be an example. other "flavors" can use different methods. but it may get minor updates as time passes

ChangeLog / Old Versions


  • Version will be considered stable when it reaches 1.0
  • Red Tea v0.3.1
  • Red Tea v0.3
    • No longer sends 404 messages of it's own
    • No longer restarts on every inventory change, only if the notecard count changes from what it has already read.
  • v0.2
    • Initial Public Release
