Well at the end all I did was:

1. Make a new Directory
2. Put Curl in it
3. Put Fetch_NS in it
4. Double click on Curl
5. Double click on Fetch_NS

and after quite a few nano seconds, an archive appeared in that
Directory with a name such as 463/zip and containing a new Netsurf, with
installation instructions in the Readme file: Basically just run the
Netsurf within.

This was on a VRPC.

I like to keep many recent versions so I can retrospectively pinpoint when
a change in behaviour occured - between version  and .

This is because one may not always immediately find a problem - only when
one visits a particular site.

Being able to specify a last version which worked may be useful to the
developers in isolating a change which caused it.

Just my opinion!

Well, I now have a modified version of 'Fetch_NS' that works fine on
the ARMini. In addition to actually fetching the latest release (if
there is one) it will quit NetSurf, rotate the 4 previous backup
versions, extract the latest version from the zip, clean up the

The current version of cURL will not run on the BB. As mentioned by
Frank, use wget instead - that works fine on the BB (ARMini).

Thanks, and agreed, but wget is doing the business for me now, at 
least some of the time! If I felt stronger, I might have tried cURL 
under Aemulor.

Confirmed - !cURL application must be in Boot:Resources

Excuse me butting in but on BB -xM (RISC OS 5.19) with !cURL application
in Boot:Resources "segmentation fault" occurs as described in Peter's
earlier posting.

On my Iyonix (RISC OS 5.18) !cURL is in Boot:Resources and in
conjunction with !Fetch_NS all works correctly without error.

Yes, I wondered about that, and tried both ways; neither of them 
worked on the ARMini. Has anyone got cURL working on a similar 
machine?

Even odder: I was able to make Fetch_NS work using wget before I had 
to go out. After coming back and re-starting the machine, it now fails 
again with the "File name 'SCSI::armini.$.Internet.!Fetch_NS.^.". (I 
managed to garble this message upthread.) Please, someone, tell me

I'll have to go out again later this evening, so won't have time for 
more experiments today.

That sounds interesting, and I will do that. I was tempted to fiddle

Are you putting the curl *binary* in to Boot:Library? If you are
putting the !cURL *application* in Boot:Library it will not work
because nothing in Boot:Library is booted at boot time. Either
extract the cURL binary from the app and put in to Library or put the

But no longer! I took up Frank's suggestion of replacing cURL with 
wget, and it now works, very fast too; sorry to have wittered on so 
much!

Also, I had been expecting task windows to open, which added to the 
mystification.

If I can get a round tuit (or preferably someone who understands 
things better could get one of those), would there be interest in 
adding bits to the program, similar to the bits I had in my old 
script? What these did is:

  1) Copy the old NetSurf as Old_NS (note the lack of pling) and 
 then delete the old app.
 
  2) Do sequential deletes and copies so that the last three zips 
 are kept for backup.
 
  3) Open the new zip and copy out the app to the directory in 
 which the script is. 
 
With best wishes,

Bewilderment continues here, I'm afraid. It seems that my previous 
download was corrupted somehow, and there's potential for it working 
on the ARMini, but it does nothing at all on VRPC running RISC OS 
4.02.

On the ARMini it's evident that cURL doesn't work, and falls over with 
the error message I posted upthread, but there are two oddities. Even 
though cURL is in Boot.Library, Fetch_NS reports:

14 Oct 13:48:25 000 00D6: Error from Fetch latest NetSurf: File 
'curl' not found

unless I open the library so that cURL is booted. Then I get the error 
message when cURL doesn't work, then a very odd message:

4 Oct 14:28:59 000 00CC: Error from (unknown): File name '.' not 
recognise, in spite of:

*show Fetch$Dir
Fetch$Dir : SCSI::armini.$.Internet.!Fetch_NS

and if I do a Filer_OpenDir on SCSI::armini.$.Internet.!Fetch_NS.^ 
(without the trailing dot) the correct directory opens, but not if it 
does have the trailing dot.

Has anyone found an ARMini-compatible cURL yet? And why should I get 
the above two error messages? Or is it just not something that will 
work with an ARMini?

With best wishes,

Peter (a.k.a. puzzled of Cheltenham).

That part does, yes. Unfortunately, the next hurdle is curl itself. I
tried four different versions. The oldest one didn't know the -k switch
and the other three reported they 'Failed writing header'. That's on an
Iyonix, by the way.

What's the most recent port of curl and where does one get it? Google

fail. For the record, 7.10.8 and 7.16.4 have the same problem.

This is cURL falling over. Is it ARMv7 compatible? I haven't tried
yet on the ARMini.

Try going in to !Fetch_NS.!Run and change the line

If NetSurf$LatestVersion <> "" THEN Set NetSurf$PreviousVersion


to

If "" <> "" THEN Set NetSurf$PreviousVersion


It then works OK.

I have always had an automated way of upgrading NetSurf.

It is possible to extend the !Run file to keep the previous
version(s) and automatically copy !NetSurf out of the archive etc.
Obey files can be very powerful!

A great idea, but not working for me; ARMini, RISC OS 5.19. Initially, 
I get the unhelpful message:

13 Oct 17:46:20 000 0168: Error from (unknown): Unknown operand

and have discovered that the only system variable needed by either 
Fetch_NS or cURL (yes, it's in Boot.Library) is Fetch$Dir.

Flailing round wildly in my ignorance, I ran the SetLatest BASIC 
program, so as to set the "Previous***" system variable, and Fetch_NS 
now runs but falls over with:

 pc:9da08 sp:   207f8c ^post_signal()
 pc:9dd14 sp:   207fa4 __unixlib_raise_signal()
 pc:f9ea4 sp:   206b54 __h_cback()

 pc:3368c sp:   206f60 ?()
 pc:b3950 sp:   206f78 _main()

Any ideas as to what is going on would be gratefully received!

With best wishes,
