[ptt-users] Problem with HTTPProtocol.connect(1)

[Frank Cohen]

I added code to the TOOL HTTPProtocolHandler class to handle  
redirects where the host returns a location that does not include the  
base information (protocol, host, port.)

Of course, I couldn't find a Web site that does a redirect like this.  
(Irony lives on the Web.) So I would ask that you try out the new  
code and let me know the results.

Download the tool.jar from the following URL:
http://downloads.pushtotest.com/200611/tool.jar

Replace the TestMaker_home/lib/tool.jar with the new file you  
downloaded.

Restart TestMaker and run a script that communicates with a host that  
issues a redirect. For instance:

from com.pushtotest.tool.protocolhandler import ProtocolHandler,  
HTTPProtocol
http = ProtocolHandler.getProtocol("http")
# Enables the following 2 lines if you want to use the TestMaker  
Network Monitor
#http.setProxyHost( "localhost" )
#http.setProxyPort( 8091 )
http.setUrl( "http://www.pushtotest.com )  # Replace this with your  
own URL
http.connect(1)

This version of tool.jar automatically prints debug information that  
will help me debug the  code. Please let me know if it works, or if  
it fails. Thanks!
