Thanks Chipp and Alex! Taking your expert advise, I had the customer do a few tests try to determine if "get URL" is returning an empty string because 1) a proxy server or firewall issue, or 2) a problem accessing the web page that is more general then from inside Rev.
However, it seems as though this problem is isolated to revolution since the page loads correctly in a browser, and since the customer is connecting via a dialup connection (56k modem, service by CoreComm), I don't think a proxy server or firewall could be involved (?). A curious phenomena is that just before the attempt to load the page with "get URL", the script uploads a small file to the server with the "put URL" command. That upload seems to be working without a problem. It is only the proceeding "get URL" form that is failing. Might it be possible that the non-blocking "load" command would work better? Also, I don't know much about sockets, but from what I've read it seems that using sockets instead of my current "upload request file / retrieve result from php script" model is a more standard way to communicate with a server. Do you have any thoughts you could share on switching to a socket model? Thanks again. I am not familiar with these sorts of networking issues and it is a true blessing to be able to benefit from your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!
