im having a devil of a time debugging this. I have two nearly identical requests for a up-to-now working module. Some requests come back just fine. Others come back as a stream of binary junk. The file is the correct size however, and since the requests are nearly identical, i suspect that the response i get is technically the correct page, just in a format that is unusable. a sample would be:
$response = bless( { '_protocol' => 'HTTP/1.0', '_content' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@^Cí}ÛrÛH²à³õ^UÕ~X^X~QZI^T^Aêj~IìP[R[glË#ÓÝÓãã [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@U奲²²²^Ru9ûnw~WüH}Êì~H :¤7\'?ÓÞ«)~Eç]2~J¢éã½½ÙlÖ~XÑ^~H©~M~0Ù#»»~]~M~M³Q4ñ:^[gO»Ï~_u6^H9{õäöúe·CÈ^Fy°^Y~ YÌÇt~ again this is a 'known working' site. the vast majority of city codes i use end up returning wonderful pages of proper html. its just a few anomaly city codes that return this mess. If i grep it looking for phrases i expect to see on that page, were it text, grep tells me that it IS a match but warns me that the file in question is a binary file. so for example : #>grep "currcode=EUR" 0006.res Binary file 0006.res matches any ideas? -- gedanken
