ReceiveHTTPFile doesn't give text

[WilliamL]

I used to run this and got text but now I get (see below). How do I get the text?

Code: Select all

  Filename$ = SaveFileRequester("Where to save txt file", "", "", 0)

  If ReceiveHTTPFile("http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EDJI", Filename$)
    Debug "File recieved and written to disk. If the remote file was not found, it will contains the webserver error."
  Else
    Debug "No file recieved (network error)."
  EndIf

output

Code: Select all

Probably the same situation as here -> https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=80352

Thanks for the link BarryG. Interesting but no solutions.. but I will look into using the webgadget.

It's odd that it used to work (everytime) and I think that it does work sometimes. It is also interesting that it is working in Windows.

I suppose it could be a bug on the Mac.

[Update]

I used

Code: Select all

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EDJI*.gz

and it worked... and, today, it works without it! Go figure.
