texte = Wow, I just re-read what I typed and see that I need a refresher in either basic grammar, proofreading or typing. Let me try again and some more information: If you get a weird server response using TCPConnect with a URL that works fine in a browser, weather.com could be requiring a cookie or more likely a mime header like USER-AGENT. This is the type of thing that browsers send automatically but that TCPConnect does not pass without some effort. They probably use this method to block automated requests. I've seen the method used against wget and curl by some sites. -----Original Message----- From: devaulw@onebox.com Sent: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 13:31:26 -0500 To: (WebDNA Talk) Subject: Re: TCPConnect / Current Temperature If you get a weird response for a URL that works in a browser, weather.com be requiring a cookie or more likely a mime header from browser that TCPConnect does not automatically pass.
