I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an http vs an ftp
if they came up and shook my hand.
I've written a generalized Net Operations Manager (object, of
course), and all was well. It handles net operations like
getNetText, downloadNetText, etc. When I ran it in a test case with
my server it worked fine. My server has an http address.
Now I'm trying to get it running on my clients server, and it fails
whenever I try to do a getNetText operation. The error code is 4165
(Requested object could not be found). Their URL is an ftp address
(for added security).
I traced it down to the single line of code that actually issues the
getNetText:
pId = getNetText(pURL & "?" & the milliseconds)
The pURL is a correct string. The "?" & the milliseconds was added
in order to force a new request to the server rather than attempting
to get something from the cache. (Something I learned from reading
posts on this list - thanks). But this causes the problem.
Apparently, when I use a URL with an http address in it, this "?" &
the milliseconds works fine. However, the same line of code with an
ftp address fails. If I take the "?" & the milliseconds off, the
code works fine.
So, the question is, if I am using an ftp style URL, should I just
abandon the "?" & the milliseconds, or is there some other way of
forcing the request to go to the server instead of to the user's
cache.
Thanks in advance,
Irv
