Problem with variables - URL loading inconsistent

appyface · January 9, 2009

Hi Flo,

I just put up Ketarin 0.9.9.20 but this existed in the last version I used (0.9.9.19) and maybe earlier than that.

I want to scrape two variables from the same webpage.

The first variable I called URL and I put this in for webpage and clicked "load" button:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=MK&type=Mouse&name=w_lmouse5000&os=XP_32〈=en

This is displayed as the entire contents:

</HEAD></HTML>

I defined a second variable I called filename and I put the same webpage in and clicked "load" button. The Ketarin window shows the actual contents of the webpage and not just the four lines above.

Below is the xml export for the entry. Any idea why the webpage doesn't load the same for the two variables?

Is it becase I called my variable URL ? If that is the case it would be nice to have a variable rename command. And/or a copy variable command -- instead of having to add a new variable and construct it by hand, then deleting the old one... (Hint hint for new features )

Thanks and regards,

--appyface

Actually, Ketarin never returns the content you mentioned when I try it.

Now that is interesting. Here's the content I get when I click on "filename" variable, in the variable window. I even closed Ketarin down and reopened it, and I still get the webpage contents. ????

OK here's a twist for you.

I just loaded up Ketarin, and used copy/paste to create a duplicate entry of the one above.

I go to variables and click on URL variable and it loads the correct content!! Then I click on filename variable and it loads the four lines. A swap of the above results.

Add to it I go back into my original entry and now it loads the correct webpage contents to BOTH variables.

I think I'd better mail you my jobs.db file. Agreed?

Yeah, maybe. But it could also be a client side issue.
