Hi Guys, Could not make the main meeting tonight :(
But here is a puzzler. On Server 1 I have a simple HTML forms file that invokes a php program that writes the values input into the form into a simple text file and then redirects to tat text file thus displaying it. This works fine. I surf in from Client 1 fill in some values hit Submit and see them displayed. So far so good. But I actually want to pull those down on another box, lets call it Client 2, for use in another program. If use wget to grab the file written by the previous process all is well. I can go back to my form on Client 1 and repeat the entire sequence. Now though I want to replace wget with a simple Python program. So I write pget.py #!/usr/bin/python from urllib import urlopen call_url = "http://some_server/some_dir/test.txt"; u = urlopen(call_url) doc = u.reaad() u.close() print doc Now this little pget.py works fine and grabs the file just like wget. Except there is a problem. Now when I go back to Client 1 and try to enter new values the Client hangs for a long time upon hitting Submit, ie. maybe a minute or more (I have not actually timed it.) Color me puzzled. I am not even sure how to debug it. Both Client 1 and Client 2 are behind a Linksys router and access Server 1 through a cable modem and the Internet. I don't think that is the problem though ... after all wget does not cause this issue. Anybody have a clue? Or a suggestion as to how to proceed? I really don't want to be reduced to packet sniffing.
