open_network_connection problem

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi all,

Did anybody have problems with open_network_connection() in 1.8.0p3 ?

Here's what happens to me when I call it (as a wiz):


;open_network_connection("gopher.unipi.it",70)  


#-1:Input to EVAL, line 1:  Invalid argument
... called from built-in function eval()
... called from #57:eval_cmd_string (this == #94), line 18
... called from #57:eval*-d (this == #94), line 10
(End of traceback)

BUT num IP works fine:

;open_network_connection("131.114.21.15",70)
=> #-9 <invalid>

I was porting the Gopher slate from 1.7.9 but "pick" kept returning  "That gopher server is not reachable or is not responding." so I tracked the problem down to open_network_connection call...

Anybody who can help ??

Thanks.
