Netmanager & Http Content

Posted: Wednesday, 07/10/2002 -- by Mats Genfors. Subject: Netmanager & Http Content

Will it be possible in the near future to define Netmanager jobs that sends content from a http site?

Let's say i want to send a file from http://www.mysite.com/weather.jpg to a group of players as a "Send Content" job.

Mats I do this my running a program like
webcopier.
http://www.maximumsoft.com/
The program gets images or text from the web then places it in a predetermine folder. I then point scala to it.
It would be great if you could just point to a jpg or text file on a website and scala would just go out an get it itself.
The only problem that I have found is that some sites can go down with out any notice or change their set up with out notice.
I use to post traffic cam pictures in my script but the website posting them was so flaky I had to stop.

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.

Back: sorry but it is not a professional post
