I'm updating a file on the web using a formula like this:

It's working great. But when I tried it see what would happen if
there was no internet connection--hoping there would be an error
message-- the result was empty. How can we know if a "put" fails?
I see "invalid host address" in the result when I turn off the
internet connection, presumably as a result of a
hostNameToAddress lookup . If I change to a numerical IP address,
I see "error can't connect to host"
This was a quick check on Mac OS X. I'll check on Windows in a
short while.
Yes, but if you turn off the connection, then the computer knows
(can tell directly) that it has no connection - that's the easy case
If you can, also check what happens if you have a *network*
connection, but no internet connection.
e.g. if you're on broadband, disconnect the wire between the router
and the wall socket.
But I don't need to get out of my seat to turn off the power. Thanks
for the heads up, Alex.
Anyway, I get the same result for the named IP (libUrl does do a
lookup). With a numerical IP, I get "eror socketTimeout"
Cheers
Dave
