Update: As it's an asynchronous job, I just wasn't waiting long enough for it to give me a useful result. Once I did that, the jobresult from queryAsyncJobResult contained the URL along with some other useful info. Thanks all for the input. It was helpful.
The URL itself contains 10-50-66-41.realhostip.com. I assume I'm supposed to convert that to 10.50.66.41? On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 4:41 PM, chris <cdca...@gmail.com> wrote: > I did look at that.
