More Some more clues, but no solution....

Re: Question "Doc. contains no data" - another flavor.... (David Black)

I'm still having the "Document contains no data" problem. I have, however, also got it working, on another machine.

It's quite puzzling - almost interesting in a sick sort of way :-) Here's the deal:

Both machines run Linux, NCSA httpd, Netscape, same version of perl - in fact, I've got to the extent of ftp'ing entire hierarchies of perl, etc., between the machines to make the setups as close to identical as possible.

Good machine: it works fine.

Bad machine: ANY CHANGE WHATSOEVER to the .html,urc file produces the error. For instance:

cp hntest-body.html hntestt-body.html (note the two t's)

Change the corresponding line in hntestt.html,urc. I get the error: Document contains no data.

I know a fair amount about how it's all working, but not enough to trace this. Obviously it *can* parse a URL, so why will it only parse particular ones? Weird. I've also messed around with file ownership and permissions.

Luckily my office computer runs HN perfectly, but I wish I could use it to its fullest on my home machine.

Thanks for any input -

David Black
