Well, it appears that the Order of the Stick comic web site has changed. I'm trying to fix dailystrips so that I can pull the OOTS comics again. I've fixed several of these over the past few years, but this one has got me. The default URL http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript hasn't changed. However, it points to a page, that then does a redirect to another page, /comics/oots0350.html (which increments 1 for each strip, which come out somewhat randomly) which has the strip in it at <IMG src="/comics/images/oFt3dxH3CKej83tlDEE.gif"> Can dailystrips handle a redirect? Can anyone help? Thx.

Rick, I believe that LWP::UserAgent stuff does support normal redirects. The problem here is that they are using a JavaScript based redirect. I don't think that there is an easy way to fix this. However, I not-so-recently patched dailystrips to support the new gocomics.com / ucomics.com drm scheme, which also requires multiple HTTP requests to get to the point that you can figure out the image URL. Take a look at mh/bin/dailystrips and search for all instances of "drm". You should be able to follow the same structure to add a new access method.

I've fixed several of these over the past few years, but this >> one has got me. Rick has now patched dailystrips and strips.def to handle the new scheme used by OOTS. The new "search2pages" search type allows a 1st URL to be retrieved. A 2nd URL is searched for within this page. The 2nd page is retrieved and the URL for the comic image is found within this page.

All, Is there a difference between the CM11 and the CM11A? I have a CM11A but from the hardware mentioned on the Mr. House site, it refers to a CM11. |

Those 2 are the same beast (CM11 = CM11A ~= CM12, CM12 is the device used in parts of Europe and England). The CM15A is a different beast as is the CM17A. The CM15A may replace the CM11A if some of us get out butts in gear (good be me :-). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry nc...@li... http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ Backup site |

Hi Matt! Well, I've finally got this working. No idea how to merge it back into the code base though. Can you help? I think I cleaned out everything but the actual new stuff, so a simple diff should show the changes. The only change that matters in strips.def is the oots entry. With type search2, you should now be able to get images when you have to dig through one web page, get the result, and then go to a second web page, and dig through that for the image file URL. Again I prove that I don't really know all that much, but I mostly can get there eventually.
