LineMode won't show return errors?
When I try using the linemode (www) program to request data it doesn't
return the errors. As in, if I ask it to grab an unknown URL it doesn't
return the normal 404 error message. It returns a couple of blank
lines.
Here's an example: (note Default page is my local default page)
=====
# www -n -p http://www.kearney.org/xx
Default
page
___________________________________
PICS request not found
=====
It didn't return the 404 error. But when I run it interactively it sort
of works properly:
====
# www
Default
page
___________________________________
[END]
Top, Up, Quit, or Help: goto http://www.kearney.org/xx
Top, Up, Quit, or Help: WARNING: Fatal Error: 404 Not Found (Not found)
PICS request not found
====
So you can see that the interactive session returned the 404 error
properly. Why doesn't the programmatic use do it?
On other topics how the heck do I use the PICS stuff? More importantly,
how do I tell it NOT to care about the PICS stuff?
Thanks,
