Hello,

I'm having a problem with using libURLftpUpload returning a "invalid host
address" error.

I am using libURLftpUpload to upload a small file, and then check the result in a loop with the URLStatus function. Eventually, and this only happens for one particular customer, URLStatus returns its "error" result, and libURLErrorData returns "invalid host address". However, I know that the host address is in fact valid and I also know that the customer has a working internet connection open when she receives this error. (She is using a 26.4 Kbps modem.) What else could be causing this problem?? Has anybody seen this before? Is there something else I
can do to further debug the issue?

Any help any of the experienced rev users could give would be greatly
appreciated. I'm stumped!

The "invalid host address" message is returned by libUrl when the hostnameToAddress function returns an error.

Likely causes are a bad url, a problem with the user's DNS server, or a network connection problem.

You said "Eventually". Do you mean there is a long wait before the result is returned, or the user does it successfully a number of times and then it fails? If the former, is the user's modem currently connected when the prolem occurs?

Cheers
Dave
