@httpgethtml question

Print Post Print Post  
When I use @httpgethtml with www.number1expert.com I do not get the html code, I get an  Invalid Hostname error.
Can someone please point out what  I have wrong in my code below?

Thanks

www.number1expert.com/California/La-Jolla/index.html ; from a browser gets me to the correct page

var bb as String


             bb = @httpgethtml("www.number1expert.com","/California/La-Jolla/index.html","bs@usa.net",80)
     FileOverwrite("realtor.txt", bb)

This is what I get in my file instead of the page html code.

I see the same problem, too.

HTTPGetHTML() seems to have a problem when there is a number "1" in the server name.

For example, "www.number1.com" fails, whereas "www.numberone.com" works.

Also, "www.lyrics007.com" and "www.sing365.com" both work.

It has nothing to do with the URL. The server where this website resides is forcing the HTTP 1.1 protocol which requires an additional host header to be sent with each request. The upcoming 2.0 update is already packed, but the next one will send the  additional header that this web server wants. Is accessing this site an immediate requirement, Robert?

No. Rush.  Smiley

I used a different method and am getting the info I need just fine.

Besides it looks like it is going to take me a long time to figure out how to process the returned data. I have manually taken the HTML code I would get back from @httpgethtml and started working on figuring out how I am going to parse out the data I need. I have been using @httpgethtml  a lot and have had great results when I am looking for set specific data like a ship date and tracking number. On this one each request to the website gives me varying amount of data back depending on what it finds, so I will need to figure out how to loop through it and format It for processing. I have been using regex with my other simple @httpgethtm routines but I might be more comfortable using Sbasic read file commands on this one.

Erika thanks for letting us know what was wrong and Carl thanks for the help and validating that I was not off in left field again.

Robert
