Quickie help question...
[1/4] from: dwhiting::europa::com at: 1-Dec-2005 21:07
Hi All,
I haven't done much with REBOL for quite awhile and am out of practice.
I have a script that retrieves a ship image that no longer works.
A valid URL for one image is:
http://www.ellisislandrecords.org/cgi-bin/tif2gif.exe?T=\\192.168.4.229\images\T715-1352\T715-13520436.TIF&S=.5
which works if plugged into a browser.
When issued from REBOL as:
a: read/binary that-url-above
it fails with a read error.
Anyone able/willing to help?
TIA,
Dick

Hi,
I have never dig deeply into url parser except few things, but I think
that URL parser in rebol is not able to handle your URL. I hope someone
will find some workaround and eventually post RAMBO request, if it is a
bug :-)
Normally if there is problem with URL datatype, which is not able to
cover all syntax cases, you can use:
result: read [scheme: 'http host: "www.rebol.com"]
but in our case it does not work either ....

Hi Dick,
This works for me:
result: read [
scheme: 'http
host: "www.ellisislandrecords.org"
path: "cgi-bin\"
target:
tif2gif.exe?T=\\192.168.4.229\images\T715-1352\T715-13520436.TIF&S=.5
]
Actually the URL is not valid in terms of RFC 2396 because:
Other characters are excluded because gateways and other transport
agents are known to sometimes modify such characters, or they are
used as delimiters.
unwise = "{" | "}" | "|" | "\" | "^" | "[" | "]" | "`"regards,Cyphre

Cyphre & Petr,
Thanks for the quick responses.

I'll try it out later within my current code. I've gotten into genealogy and
use it to collect passenger lists that include my relatives.
TTYL,

PS. Petr, drop me an email off-list as to what you've been up to.
