turing crashes

[Geminias]

hey, i have turing 4.0.5 and if i try to run code:

Turing:

var url : string         put "Enter the URL to load: " ..         get url                 var netStream : int         var line : string                 netStream := Net.OpenURLConnection (url)         if netStream <= 0 then             put "Unable to connect to ", url             return         end if         loop             exit when eof (netStream)             get : netStream, line             put line         end loop         Net.CloseConnection (netStream)

my program crashes saying there's a problem with the environment not my program. Anyone know why this is caused? i need to fix this.

Also, i created a canvas and i'm wondering if its possible to have a scroll bar on the canvas. Anyone know the answer to this?

What are you entering as the URL?

ya the url matters for example www.google.com crashes myTuring 100% of the time. =)

I think it has something to do with the redirection they use. For example, www.yahoo.com works. Also, when you do it for compsci.ca you get the 'bot' page.

Not sure how to fix it, or if it's possible. Sorry I can't be of more help.

yeah i was using google lol.

but if it crashes that must mean the packets are going through right? (cause i'm having trouble getting a stream from any other website)

ya as far as i know turing does an ok job of sending and recieving Packets its the HTTP protocol that it's weak on.
