That's exactly the same error.
The only thing that jumps out at me is that the code in comx is using synchronous XML-HTTP transfers, it isn't changing the UA, and isn't checking for errors, which can all cause issues. If the UA isn't changed you may end up where the server flat-out rejects attempts to connect from the MS XmlHttp object (mine does). Synchronous transfers can cause stale or broken connections if the connection is refused or for any other reason the server doesn't return content. Finally, without error trapping, there's no way to tell what the error could be. I'm going to put this on my short list for rewriting it to make it do all of the above. It's a lot of code though, so no guarantees it'll happen right away. On the plus side, it'll be more modular, so new comics should be a lot easier to add. ;) Meanwhile, if you look at the rssx search I wrote (lines 42-56), which comx is based on, you'll see a much better way to handle the remoting aspects. -Shawn > -----Original Message----- > From: brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 4:38 PM > To: DQSD users mailing list > Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] comx /dilbert access denied > > Charlie / Shawn -- > > I am assuming that you reloaded the xml searches in DQSD > by typing a single "!" character in the search box, after > replacing the > comx.xml file (otherwise, you're still running the old search). > > That being said, is the "access denied" message you're > receiving similar to the one I've attached to this message?
