Did anyone get my previous message about bad NetRexx performance in BSF?

Yes, arrived a hour ago...

The bad performance is mentioned in the BSF docs, and I agree this is
really bad for scripting GUI-applications. Although it might be still
somewhat useful in non-GUI-apps, where performance is a minor issue.
But that has to been proved testing it in a real application...

YMMV kp

Extrapyramidal symptoms, manifested primarily as acute dystonic reactions, occur in
approximately 1 in 500 patients treated with the usual adult dosages of 30-40 mg/day
of metoclopramide.

I'm diving into access URL's remotely and I've run out of documentation for a
something that's pestering me...

In oppening a connect to a url, why is it that sometimes getContentLength will
return -1 instead of the desired size of the URL? I'm accessing html and trying
to implement a status bar to show the progress of the downloaded url. However,
not knowing the target size makes it a bit difficult to calculate the progress.

;')

Anyway, is the information that getContentLength grabs masked in some way that
I'm not undestanding?

Currently, I use the '-1' value to turn off my progress method and display a
'unknown URL size... stand by'. However, it's kinda' kludgey and if the URL
happens to be large, the user get's the feeling that the computer has a
problem.

Thanks, in advance.

Servers aren't required to specify content length (and may not even know
it, for a page being generated dynamicaly 'on the fly').
