I'm continuing to work on a .irev web page, with varying success.

On-Rev account, server sage, software:/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/ireviam-engine according to the tip Alex gave me earlier.

Brief description of page's function:
1) Load static .csv file from web server into a variable. This is a list of radio programs, the data is simply 3 items: Broadcast date, Program Title and Host.
2) Get today's date from the server.
3) Using the date, find today's program in variable vlist, show the broadcast date, the program Title, the Host. 4) Again using the date, fetch the appropriate mp3 filename from our web server and plug it into the audio tag's src.

Extremely simple, no css or formatting of any kind. Just trying to get the three items of data on the screen and load the audio player with the correct mp3.

Was working great, and I was plugging in test dates...

When suddenly it stopped reading in the csv file. The command is: put URL "http://pba.on-rev.com/ynh5list_UTF8.txt"; into vlist Instead of the data, vlist contains the html 404 page not found error.

But the file is there.

Copy and paste the url into the browser, and the text loads up. The csv file is in the very same directory as the .irev file (http://www.pba.on-rev.com/ynh5today.irev). Both are in the root of the public_html folder. But the {put URL "http://pba.on-rev.com/ynh5list_UTF8.txt"; into vlist} command returns a 404 error.

Moved the csv file to two other web servers, On-Rev's deisel, and a Japanese web host I use. put URL.... etc. using the Japanese web host also fails. (could not connect to server)
put URL.... etc. using deisel DOES WORK.

Thought maybe Safari was acting up, so tried Chrome and Firefox. Same problem.

I'm puzzled.
Suddently, "Put URL..." can't find the file, but the browser can.
(For what it's worth, also tried "Get URL...." with same results.
Not related to browser software
Non- on-rev web server fails
Sage on-rev server fails
Deisel on-rev server succeeds (for now?)

Could this be some kind of latency problem? Is some kind of 'wait' period needed?

Long time HC scripter, not a professional programmer....

Any tips appreciated.
