Hi Kat,
Ok, well, from this post you seem to have the direction of slashes down now.
Why the properly formed URL still hangs the 'read command I cannot say,
since 'read is native and I am not privy to its code or why the error
message is appearing.
However, in your earlier example, the explanation of why the server times
out on the 'read from rebol is cuz rebol stops running when it encounters a
script error or some kind while reading the URL. From that point on rebol
is dead in the water, nothing more is accepted, and eventually the server
sees the lack of response from rebol and kills the connection.
Why rebol is choking is still a mystery to me. I would still suggest you
try the very simple HTML code I recommended in my last post. Simply
cut/paste them to some .html file and attempt to read them. By simplifying
the problem considerably, perhaps we can sneak up on what is causing rebol
to choke. As you point out, obviously rebol reads pages off the web
(probably the same ones you copy to your system), others can read your pages
via your server... so there's got to be something in what your server is
passing that rebol is not expecting.
Hmmm... I'm wondering about rebol's read buffer size... i notice that the
file you were trying to read (in last post example) was 185k bytes. Try the
short, simple file I suggested... if it chokes on that, then it's got to be
something specific to what your server is passing back.
