Re: lingo-l getNetText() not working, but it is, but it isn't any more
propably this just happened when pasting into the email, but just in case, in both urls in your sample scripts the : were missing (after http). when opening those (fixed) URLs with MU Xtra and my little HTTP Sniffer (http://dasdeck.de/staff/valentin/lingo/http_class/http_class_v1.1.zip; really a handy tool :-), I can see in the response headers that this web server uses some tool called Redline Networks Web I/O Processor (http://www.juniper.net/company/presscenter/pr/2003/rl/pr-030918.html). Maybe there is some incompatibility between this tool and lingo's built-in network comands? I have no problems opening those URLs with MU Xtra, though.

Hi, Did you try to access the txt file from IE. If it works, you should try INM's SecureNet Xtra (If IE works, you have 99% chances SecureNet will work). Kind regard, -- Laurent Brigaut -- Director of Operations -- Integration New Media, Inc.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and now it's not working at all. I have a project already built that uses getNetText() to retrieve an XML file from the web to update internal data. This routine runs inside an exitFrame handler that loops until everything's downloaded and parsed, and then advances to another frame. Additionally, I use getNetText to retrieve a dummy text file from the web purely to test if there is an active internet connection. This routine runs inside a stepFrame handler after the script has been added to the actorList. The problem I'm having is that the XML downloader works perfectly well and does its thing, but the dummy file check will _always_ claim there is no internet connection. Now this phenomenon has only started happening recently and only in my office - I've been using the same script since the first version of this last September and only now does it now work, yet it works perfectly well on other internet connections. My initial thought was it's some kind of proxy problem or something because we've upgraded our connectivity recently to run a few in-house web servers. Attached is the code for both, but I've removed some stuff that isn't relevant. XML DOWNLOADER -- Properties property pXML property pState, pNetID -- Events on beginSprite me me.Initialise() end on exitFrame me case pState of #loading: if netDone(pNetID) then case netError(pNetID) of 0, OK: -- everything is fine xmlData = netTextResult(pNetID) pXML.parseString(xmlData) pState = #parsing 4146: -- no connection pState = #failed go(NoConn) otherwise -- anything else go(NoFile) end case end if end case -- loop go to the frame end -- Handlers on Initialise me -- create XML Parser pXML = new (xtra XMLParser) pXML.ignoreWhiteSpace(TRUE) -- start to load XML from the web xmlFile = http//www.bulldogbroadband.com/xml/dataset.xml pNetID = getNetText(xmlFile) -- initialise pState = #loading end CONNECTIVITY CHECK -- Properties property pURL, pLoadMarker, pOKMarker, pFailMarker property pState, pResult -- Events on mouseUp me me.Initialise() end on stepFrame me case pState of #checking: if netDone(pResult) then case netError(pResult) of 4146: -- no connection go(pFailMarker) me.Destroy() otherwise -- active connection, ignore error go(pOKMarker) gotoNetPage(pURL) me.Destroy() end case end if end case end -- Handlers on Initialise me pResult = getNetText(http//www.theMmen.co.uk/test.txt) pState = #checking (the actorList).add(me) go(pLoadMarker) end on Destroy me pResult = void pState = #destroy (the actorList).deleteOne(me) end As you can see I'm pretty much doing the same thing in both to check for the existence of the online file, but the actorList version will always report there's no connection i.e. netError always returns 4146. Now to compound the problem, I've tried writing both exitFrame and stepFrame scripts in a new project to see what's going on and now nothing works! getNetText() is always returning 4146, even through the Message window. Does anybody have a clue what's going on here? Sorry for the long message, thanks in advance. Ross ___ 24 FIFA World Cup tickets to be won with Yahoo!

Re: lingo-l getNetText() not working, but it is, but it isn't any more
Hi Valentin I've just noticed that all the colons were missing - thought I'd replaced them after the various case statements but I guess I missed a few. Thanks for the info on the Redline I/O Processor and it's certainly a point of interest, but how would that explain everything only breaking in my office when it works perfectly well in the computer shop over the road? Also it's the getNetText call to http://www.themmen.co.uk/test.txt that's always returning 4146 and unless Windows 2000 Advanced Server has this I/O Processor on it I know I aint got it as the server's next to me!

of interest, but how would that explain everything only breaking in my office when it works perfectly well in the computer shop over the road? sorry, I missed that part about happening only on a certain computer. so, does it work on that machine if you use MU xtra instead (e.g. by opening the URLs with that mentioned sniffer)? does it work in all browser (IE and non-IE)? do you have any personal firewall installed (win xp's own or third party), or is there an intranet firewall? valentin [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email lingo-l@penworks.com (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re: lingo-l getNetText() not working, but it is, but it isn't any more
there is nothing wrong with using getnettext and nettextresult to load an xml file, but just to be sure: you know about the parseURL method of the xml parser xtra ?

Re: lingo-l getNetText() not working, but it is, but it isn't any more
Mathieu: Your French brain is working perfectly well, dear sir! What you've done is indeed part of the problem. Thanks all for your input. So far I have determined the followinf because everything as of now is OK again. These problems have arrisen only since we moved all of our web hosting, e-mail servers, etc. to an in-house solution. We have had a number of teething troubles and it seems that it's had a coincidental knock-on effect to this project (which actually went live last month - hence me stressing!). The XML download routine checks for a file on bulldogbroadband.com and functions fine, however the connectivity check accesses themmen.co.uk which is now on the server next door. These teething troubles have been causing gateway timeout errors and god knows what else over the past few months and it's just been unfortunate that people have been using the CD while our server's been playing up. Trying to access the test file today as per Laurent's suggestion has illustrated this problem as I couldn't access the file from inside or outside the office - whatever response the server was giving was interpretted as 4146 by netError(). I have since modified the code to use the same XML file for the connectivity check and everything fires off beautifully. So, in conclusion at this point, the problem's been with my server configuration, not any code or Director problems! Hopefully I can now calm the client down and actually get paid for the 140,000 CDs they're claiming don't work! Thanks all.
