RE: [ECS] What's up with the new WPDL? A.J. Griglak Tue, 15 Aug 2000 09:25:21 -0400

So what can I do to get my WPDL events to work?

Does the /S (strip HTML codes) still work?

I get a Windows "ding" every time WPDL runs - can that be shut off?

I just spent a few minutes playing with WPDL.EXE, and not once was a
WPDL.HTM file generated.  Here is the most sucessful looking output:

host=www.weather.com html=/weather/us/zips/08831.html port=80 fnam=wpdl.htm
Host name  : www.weather.com
IP Address : 216.35.172.135

TX header:
GET /weather/us/zips/08831.html HTTP/1.1 Accept: text/* User-Agent: WPDL
Host: www.weather.com
RX Header:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP3 Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000

23:59:59 GMT; path=/; domain=.weather.com Content-type: text/html
Connection: close
conlen < 0

I entered WPDL "http://www.weather.com/weather/us/zips/08831.html"

However, there is no WPDL.HTM file anywhere on my system.

A.J.,
This error looks like a server problem, but in trying it out,
I DID notice that it was sending no "content length".
So I just modified WPDL to look for "</html>" if no such
length was sent by the server.

The 2nd (optional arg) for WPDL is the file name to write to.
