URL access error
« on: October 03, 2007, 09:37:47 PM »

Hi,

Just downloaded REBOL/View and tried to run one of the examples on the website, and got:

REBOL/View 1.3.2.3.1 5-Dec-2005 Core 2.6.3
Copyright 2000-2005 REBOL Technologies.  All rights reserved.
REBOL is a trademark of REBOL Technologies. WWW.REBOL.COM
>> print read http://www.rebol.com
** Access Error: Invalid port spec:
** Where: open-proto
** Near: print read http://www.rebol.com


It fails both at work (with proxy server set) and at home (no proxy).

Not a good start Sad

Any ideas??

Thx,

Paul

No ideas;  Seems very curious.

I can get the same error message trying something like
  >> print read httq://www.rebol.com

Note the http is mistakenly httq. Just as an example.  Not what your post suggests is the problem.  http: should be a valid scheme whereever you happen to be running REBOL from.  I'm not even sure what to suggest in terms of a path to problem resolution. Just for fun try

  >>print read http://www.google.com
or someother website, to see if REBOL can talk to other sites
and
  >>print read dns://
this will just test out a simpler scheme.

Cheers,
Brian

OK, here's what I got:

>> print read http://www.google.com
** Access Error: Invalid port spec:
** Where: open-proto
** Near: print read http://www.google.com
>> print read dns://
L003584

(L003584 is my laptop's name)

this is weird! Sad

Maybe wrong parameters to set-net (ie. wrong proxy settings)? What's in system/schemes/default/proxy ?
