The url doesn't seem to be working!

Posted March 27th, 2008 by gaba

When I try to post scooop I received these error message:The url doesn't seem to be working!

I double check URL

‹ No text in my error notification box when submitting a scoop in FF3, did anyone figure this out? Page title as URL ›

Don't know if this is the same problem

I don't know if this is the same problem but sometimes when I try to edit a post it says "url is not working" and I can't resave it.

No.
It happens randomly I suppose.

OK...

Hi,

This will happen in three cases:

* The web server on the other end is broken and not standard-compliant (quite rare, but it does happen) OR
* Your host can't reach the remote server because your connection or THEIR connection is down OR
* The page you are submitting is not the actual page but a redirect.

There is no real way around it.

Hi Merc,
is it posible to disable this option?

Sometimes I have the same problem... and I would like to disable it.

Upcoming drigg...

Hi,

The upcoming version of drigg will allow you to disable URL validation.

It should be out soon -- I am waiting on a couple of patches.

This will also be the first big-free drigg after 1 year of development -- and only 20 outstanding feature requests.

Merc.
