[Refdb-devel] Two questions

[I've cc'ed the list for the archives. Please try to keep stuff like
this on-list]

when adding references from a ris file (the example file in the dist), I
get a "406 citation key" error message. How do I handle this in the
protocol? The current c client works for this, but my ruby binding does
not. I checked the perl code and my ruby does not differ from that code.
Does it possibly have something to do with the "timeout while writing"
message the server prints? Is it a mysql issue?

The error in the ruby lib must be further down, as the 406 is a
purely informational message. It is supposed to print the newly
assigned reference ID and the citation key. The "timeout while
writing" message is usually caused if the client and the server
implementations are out of sync, i.e. the server tries to write but
the client isn't listening.

If I add a user it is not entered into the t_user table of the database.
Is this a bug or a feature?

The adduser command is supposed to grant access rights to the required
databases. It is not intended to fill the t_user table. This table
will automatically contain the user name as soon as she adds notes or
references. The user is also supposed to disappear when the last note
or reference owned by that user is deleted from the database.
