I thought our tiny internet portal stack was all "pau" as they say in Hawaii
(over, finished) but the following script which works on a Mac doesn't work
on a PC
on mouseUp
create directory "mcPrefs"
if fld "tProxyIP" is empty then
put empty into line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
else
put "Proxy Settings" &","&fld "tProxyIP" & ":"& fld "tProxyPort" into
line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
end if
checkForProxy
show Button "Enter Proxy"
hide group "ProxySet"
end mouseUp
on checkForProxy
set the httpproxy to item 2 of line 1 url
("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
end checkforProxy
What is happening is that on a Mac if I fill in the proxy and port fields,
and hit the button on the top it creates a directory called "mcPrefs" and
this line:
put "Proxy Settings" &","&fld "tProxyIP" & ":"& fld "tProxyPort" \
into line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
will open and write a file and close it, even if the file does not exist to
start with (the syntax implies a file exists, but it doesn't need to, at
least on a MAC.)
but, on the PC, it doesn't write a file to disk. It does create a directory,
but if you check inside the folder there is no "proxyPrefs.txt" file there.
Anyone have a clue? Why would it work on a MAC and not a PC?
