Plus, unless I'm mistaken, I don't think "Url Return no > Content-Length" is quite English. :) It won't be hard to change. The main problem is that it's hard to provide a more sensible answer. The issue (as I recall) is that it's hard to get sensible error messages in a protocol independent way. This one exists to account for things like directory listings, php scripts and other dynamically-generated stuff. When I first started hacking on the urlgrab code, it struck me as very hackish and ugly. I ultimately, became convinced that it's really the best you can do. However, if you can come up with a message that is more helpful, that would be great. perhaps something like "this isn't the url you're looking for *waves hand*" -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
