Even a missing single character "\" can make an script error and render a script useless.

When we goto a url:

http://www.yahoo.com
http://www.yahoo.com/
www.yahoo.com

For us all would give the same output, however the input is different.
Thats what we sometimes forget, in scripting and coding this is different.

Strikelight is a master in egghttp.tcl and these types of scripts which retreive data from websites and parse them through onto irc channels as privmsgs and notices, so he knows well!

Good thinking:

bind pub - !horoscope horoscope

proc horoscope { nick uhost hand chan text } {

set sock [egghttp:geturl http://www.humorscope.com parse_horoscope]
return 1
}

proc parse_horoscope { sock } {
set headers [egghttp:headers $sock]
set body [egghttp:data $sock]
regsub -all "\n" $body "" body
regsub -all -nocase {
} $body "
\n" body
putserv "privmsg (chan) :$headers"
putserv "privmsg (chan) :$body"
}

The idea is to look at how the HTML comes across so I can decide how to parse it.

When attempting to retrieve a web page, I get the following error:

400 Bad Request

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Invalid URI in request GET HTTP/2.0

Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.humorscope.com Port 80

Does anyone understand this, and even better, know what's wrong?

Thanks
