Hi all,
Thanks for the response, Scott. I could be doing something totally wrong,
but I'm running Mac OS X 10.0.4 and Mail.app, OmniWeb, Terminal telnetting,
etc. all seem to be able to connect just fine. In MetaCard for OS X, I
launched it and, in the message box typed:
answer url "http://www.yahoo.com/";
I waited, grabbed a drink, and 5 minutes later still had nothing. So I
command-.'ed out, and got a blank answer dialog. Not surprising. I then
tried to open a new stack and created a button with the same script as
above. Nothing. I also tried it as:
start using "LibURL"
answer url "http://www.yahoo.com/";
but still no luck. So I tried to use the load command:
on mouseUp
load url "http://www.yahoo.com/"; with "lDone"
send "statRep" to me
end mouseUp
on statRep
if urlStatus("http://www.yahoo.com/";) is not "cached" then
put urlStatus("http://www.yahoo.com/";) into fld 1
send "statRep to me in 30 milliseconds
end if
end statRep
on lDone s
answer url s
unload url s
end lDone
And all field 1 ever said was: "requested". I feel like nobody else is
having these problems, and I'm worried I'm missing a crucial step. I tried
all of the above with different URLs, and with and without preceding the
requests with: start using "LibURL" (which should be by default, loaded?)
This is using 2.4B2 for Mac OS X, tried on an iMac 233, a B&W G3/450, and a
PowerBook G3/266. And I tried with 2 different ISPs, and one direct LAN
connection..
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a bug in MC2.4b2? I'll
forward some scripts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well. Are other people on this
list finding success with internet usage using MC under Mac OS X?
Thanks,
Reed
