Some guys in irc wanted a way to get this "Bikini of the Day" site
on their Palm, and they were using AvantGo, which I weaned them off of, but
Plucker doesn't like the url they're passing to it. What's weird is...
neither does anything else I point at it, except Netscape/Mozilla and wget.
All of my other tools barf trying to retrieve it. Here's the url, and here's
what happens:$ HEAD http://www.netlet.net/interact/Babe.jpg 406 No acceptable objects were found Content-Type: text/html Client-Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2001 00:58:20 GMT Client-Peer: 206.58.152.238:80 And when plucker-build is pointed at the image directly: $ plucker-build -f /tmp/bikini -H "http://www.netlet.net/interact/Babe.jpg"; --maxdepth=1 --bpp=8 --zlib-compression --no-urlinfo Working for pluckerdir /root/.plucker ZLib compression turned on Using exclusion list /root/.plucker/exclusionlist.txt Using exclusion list /root/.plucker/exclusionlist.txt Processing http://www.netlet.net/interact/Babe.jpg. 0 collected, 0 still to do Retrieved failed: 406 -- No acceptable objects were found Fetching the home document failed.

It smells like a missing Content-type header, and I thought there was a fix in cvs for this. I recall someone mentioning this before, but I can't find the reference in my archives. Bill, can we add a feature to the parser to pass (force/forge) a Content-type header to the parser? --content-type={$type}. /d
