What is it you are trying to achieve? Open a URL (not display or read it). I want to use Facebook's Graph API with Turing. It's possible as long as I can connect to Facebook. What is the problem you are having? Don't know what command to use. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I tried Net.OpenURLConnection, but it freezes Turing (Windows 7 64 bit/Turing 4.1.1) Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

Works just fine with Turing 4.1. I tried it on 64-bit Windows. Perhaps install Turing 4.1. |

Thanks, that worked. Why doesn't 4.1.1 work? My school and my teacher both use 4.1.1 |

Because 4.1.1 was unfinished when Holtsoft (creator) started dying...so it is quite buggy and apparently, the source code for Turing is a mess.... |

Can't you also use Sys.Exec Sorry for necroposting |

Presumably the intent is to read (in program) the contents of the page, not simply tell a browser to open it. Quote: when Holtsoft (creator) started dying What? Did you mean Dr. Holt (I'm pretty sure that I've seen him on campus after the release), or Holtsoft the company (which was dissolved, seemingly due to unprofitability)? |

and I'm sorry but is the Turing source code available? |

We've asked, but no. |

Okay that's what I thought, but ProgrammingFun's post seemed to suggest otherwise. I remember actually contacting Dr. Holt about getting the source, he told me a lot about it, but never responded to my request for the source code. |

I try about 20 websites using the code that I posted above and 4.1. All of them returned an error of some sort. Only http://localhost/ works. I tried running Apache, and Turing fetched the contents of localhost correctly. |

Might be a problem with firewall rules. |

My firewall has exceptions for Turing. Each website has a different message. For google.com, it returns 302 but it says "The document has moved <a href="http://google.com">here</a>." I tried entering the website's IP directly, the same thing happened. |

Ohhh! Yes. You are supposed to follow the 3xx redirects. Quote: tony$ curl --head google.com HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://www.google.com/ tony$ curl --head www.google.com HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://www.google.ca/ tony$ curl --head www.google.ca HTTP/1.1 200 OK |
