Has anyone got Fetch_NS running on an ARMX6?
I have tried curl and wget. Neither does the job. Both do not open a task
window, so I cannot see progress and nothing appears to happpen. However
both cause an error window to open sometime after firing up.
With wget, the error is "Incorrectly formatted filename at line 24" but
what program is running is not stated and I have no idea where to look.
Later..
I have found that removing the Do from the line in !Run which reads:
TaskWindow "Do <Fetch_NS$App> <Fetch_NS$Url>LATEST <Fetch_NS$Opt>
<Fetch_NS$Choices>.LATEST" -wimpslot 2048k -name "Fetch LATEST file
data"
-quit
allows the taskwindow to open. I'll keep probing.

No help for your problem, I'm afraid, but it's been working without
any problem on my ARMini for the last few weeks, so it is possible. No
idea why you have problems; usually if there is anything that can be
much=ked up, I will muck it up!
Just thought: there are two versions of Fetch_NS; I use 2.21, but I
can't remember who wrote this version. The only hint is in the !Run
file, were there is a comment, "This is a seriously modified version
of John Williams' Fetch_NS."
Best wishes,
Peter.

I've never managed to get it to run on my BBxM, although it does so
without problem on my Iyo.

Yes, working here on ARMX6 and Armini. It did take some setting up,
though...
On first run, you should be presented with a list of options, but I
never had much joy with this and resorted to modding the files in
!Boot.Choices.Fetch_NS.Settings. Mostly self-explanatory. Mostly!
I have !Wget in configure 'look at'.

Richard still hasn't told us which version of Fetch_NS he's trying to
run, which is highly relevant.
If someone can tell me whether it's legal to do so, I could send him
my "Not John William's" version, which should work exactly as it does
here.
The setting up of this is a bit tricky, but as it doesn't use paths
that depend on one's setup (1) it should work everywhere.
(1) For instance, the directory that NetSurf will be installed in is
defined as Fetch_NS$Download$Dir <Fetch_NS$Dir>.^ so that if Fetch_NS
is in the same directory as NetSurf then NetSurf will be put into the
correct place.
HTH,
Best wishes,
Peter.

This is really not the place to discuss third-party software, but anyone
can do whatever they like with anything derived from my stuff!

Many thanks, John, so over to Richard now, if he wants to take up my
offer, preferably off-list.
I've just discovered that the version I have is by Frank de Bruijn.
Best wishes,
Peter.

2.21, which runs fine on the RPC,
I quoted the line from the !Run file - which caklls a Taskwindow. On the
RPC, that TaskWindow opens as expected.
On the ARMX6, no such task window opens.

I have !Wget in configure 'look at'.
The instructions do say you have to chose which transport: there are lines
in the !Run file to be commented in out as appropriate. I did that. The
transports are called, and start to work - in the background. They then
fail.
A task window is not opened: presumably this should only open when the
transport returns some output.
The error returned by wget says the filename is incorrectly formatted. At
Line 24!
I have installed a new version of 2.21, fresh from the zip file, and will
now reset the ARMX6 and try again.

Same result... the error is returned from the BASIC program
!Fetch_NS.Resources.SetLatest
So I have emailed Frank for help.
