I've been having a couple of problems with this today.
Does anyone have any special knowledge of firewalls?
This seems to be a firewall issue to me.
I use the IDLnetURL object to connect to the Internet.
My NASA client is having a problem connecting to the Google
static map location and retrieving a map. The command
we use looks like this:
cmd = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?' + $
'center=35.8271,-106.6480&zoom=12&size=640x390' + $
'&maptype=satellite&sensor=false&format=png32'
netObj = Obj_New('IDLnetURL')
void = netObj -> Get(URL=cmd, FILENAME='gmap.png')
Obj_Destroy, netObj
We get the following error message when we issue this command:
IDLNETURL::GET: CCurlException: Error: Http Get Request Failed.
Error = Failed writing body (0 != 11946), Curl Error Code = 23..
However, if we issue this command:
cmd = 'http://www.idlcoyote.com/misc/toucan.png'
netObj = Obj_New('IDLnetURL')
void = netObj -> Get(URL=cmd, FILENAME='gmap.png')
Obj_Destroy, netObj
We have no problem whatsoever.
Are the properties on the end of the Google URL giving
us problems with the NASA firewall, do you think?
I appreciate any help you can give.
Cheers,
David
