Hello. I’ve been working with gethttp (on the Mac) and have noticed something
odd. I’ve boiled it down to
('-o ' , jpath '~temp/gethttp.html') gethttp
'https://code.jsoftware.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=70&offset=0&profile=default&search=dyadic%20transpose'
…works. It creates a file in ~temp containing the html. Though, strangely, it
seems to do it asynchronously—the call returns before the file is created and
you have to poll for it thereafter.
However,
$ gethttp
'https://code.jsoftware.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=70&offset=0&profile=default&search=dyadic%20transpose’
<https://code.jsoftware.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=70&offset=0&profile=default&search=dyadic%20transpose%E2%80%99>
0
…immediately returns no bytes. (I imagine they’re eventually going to a
default file somewhere but have not tried to track it down.)
I’ve experimented and it seems as if specifying more than one header parameter
(or more than two if you specify one with -H and one with &) will cause this
behavior.
Am I misguided (or hallucinating)? If not, is there a way to help gethttp take
multiple headers and still return the html directly and synchronously? (I’d
prefer to avoid polling for files.)
Thanks very much.
Ed
