Hi !
Im trying to parse the content of a webpage but it doesnt work (it does tho with some webpages but not with www.google.com).
Heres the code i use:

[De Kus]

3 things:
- try using a shorter timeout than 10min
- try using the header line "Connection: close"
- Try passing only the first line to puthelp via [string range $body 0 [string first $body "\n"]]. That saves your bot getting various errors from IRC Server and most likely getting spammed out (if it isnt trimmed to 510 bytes anyway)

Btw. headers also contain about 5-10 lines depending on HTTP server.

egghttp is outdated, do not use it

use Tcl's built-in http package instead

Thx for the tip, didnt know there was a built in package.
Anyway, i still get the same error (that is http::data returns an empty string, no url data). Heres the new code:

try using it in the simpler, blocking form first - i.e. without -command switch

and use [code] tag when posting code, not [quote]

I get exactly the same result without the "-command".
Could this be a bug from the http package?
PS: sorry the for quote instead of code; i just fixed it

[demond]

nope, it's bug in your script or/and your logic
