Re: Question Netscape Error: "Document Contains no data" (Boris Kogan)
Date: 1995, Nov 14
From: Daniel M LaLiberte <liberte>

I don't know why the "document contains no data" occurs for you, but I can explain what is supposed to be happening. (Soon it will make sense to write up some docs describing the internal workings of HyperNews - it's still changing enough that it would be partly a waste of time.)

The preview process writes a temp file, if you supply any body text. The rest of the info such as title and author is passed through the preview page by being hidden in the submit form at the top of the page. You can view the source of the page to see it. The preview program (preview-response, which uses preview-lib, which uses hnview) displays the response as if it were already posted, but the body comes from the temp file and the other info comes from the form data passed to the preview-response script.
