Thanks for bringing me back down to earth :-) .... I boiled down a script
containing
a few of the urls that usually fail on the getstore (please see below).
I observed the following when running it -
It takes minutes to process each getstore.
Each url does not always fail everytime.
When one does fail, the program exits (no rc or error msgs).
When I view the resulting images via a browser, the last one processed is
always a partial image.
My app has been in production for 4 months now processing thousands of
images from many locations (quickly and acurately).
I have only seen it behave this way when processing images from the
auctions.goto.com site (and only select images fail)
I would definitly appreciate it if a few folks could give it a try on
their platforms and let me know what you see.
I contract with a web hosting company, WebsiteProviders. My "virtual
server" is running SUN OS 5.7 with an Apache 1.1.3 web server.
Any assistance is most appreciated !

Here's the script -
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::Simple ;
$savepicdir = "/Your_Save_Dir_Here/"; # Add your directory for the
output images here
$u1='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/10011921/Images/joescat.jpg';
$u2='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/10011921/Images/BBN7a.JPG';
$u3='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/10011921/Images/swarPig.JPG';
$u4='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/10011921/Images/blueCathedralA.JPG';
$u5='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/30027867/Images/5715zam.jpg';
$u6='http://images.auctions.goto.com/Sell/SSProfiles/30027867/Images/bigmargar.jpg';
@Urls =($u1,$u2,$u3,$u4,$u5,$u6);
for($i=0; $i < $#Urls + 1 ; $i += 1){
print "fetching $Urls[$i] \n";
$getrc = getstore($Urls[$i], $savepicdir . $i . '.JPG'); # This
should create images 0.JPG, 1.JPG, etc.
print "rc from getstore is $getrc \n";
