Actually, now that you describe your setup again I think I see your
problem. The PQA requests must go through the clipping proxy server.
The data that comes out of the Palm VII is not ready for direct
submission to your web site and the data that comes back from the site
is expected to be compressed by the proxy server before it gets back to
the Palm VII.
So you make a dialup connection and get assigned an IP address by your
ISP. POSE submits your PQA's get (or post) to the proxy server. The
proxy server, in turn, tries to make an IP connection to the web server
- but you are not using a specific IP address or a DNS resolvable name,
so the proxy server cannot reach the machine.
Your web server must be reachable from the Internet for the proxy server
to be able to see it.
You could try putting the web server on the same machine as pose and
then hardcoding the IP address you get from your dialup connection as
the web URL. But it would be a hassle. The IP will probably change
each time you dialup. The ISP might also block inbound connections. It
would probably be easier to use an Internet accessible server for your
testing. You can rent server space pretty cheaply these days and many
providers will let you do CGI scripts, ISAPI extensions, active server
pages, and so on.
Good Luck,

Subject: RE: Can't debug pqa in POSE
Thanx Joe. Yes, I successfully pinged localhost and Palm proxy server.
The
built in PQA's work fine, I just can't get my PQA to work (in POSE) with
my
local webserver and db. I was also able to successfully publish my
content
and db to my website and test there, I'm still trying to get the test
environment to work locally. I know that I have to have my dialup
active so
that palm.net can route me appropriately back to my machine. My guess
is
that it IS my ISP, like you said, in that it stops with them. Maybe if
I
can a static IP instead of one generated dynamically things may
miraculously
start working.

It could be your ISP or the network settings on your PC. Have you tried
'pinging' both the Palm proxy server and your local web server just to
make sure you have access? Also, what happens if you use one of the
built in PQAs? iMessenger won't work but you should be able to do a
Yahoo people search.

Subject: Can't debug pqa in POSE
Hi All,
I'm, what I use to think was a breakthrough, having difficulty in
getting
my pqa running in POSE to work with my local host webserver and db
versus
ones out at some ISP. I have a dialup account to the internet and the
Palm
iMessenger Proxy is set to 207.240.80.136.
Soooo, here's how the app works: the pqa is simply a 'HTML' form and a
submit/reset button. When I click submit I send the data in the form to
a
perl program that inserts this data into a db. Well, before I publish
all
of this and then start testing I decided to test "standalone" on my
Win98
machine. The form works fine in 'Explode -er', even with the db. When
I
run the pqa on the Palm, while I'm connected to the internet, I get the
infamous error 'ID ( 500 )' and I notice packets being sent/received on
the
connection. When I disconnect from the Internet I get the same error
but it
responds almost instantly. I've checked the Redirect Netlib calls box
in
the POSE properties, but I had to set the Serial Port to <none> because
the
COM port that I have assigned to the modem doesn't show up. Does this
matter?
I've also hard-coded the IP of my machine and used localhost and
localhost:80 in the URL in the PQA, and also declared all of the meta
names.
I've read the Web Clipping Guide at Palm.com but I still can't get this
to
work.
Please don't tell me that I have to publish all this stuff to my website
to
test or I just may crack !!
Thanx,
Brad Galyean
