If there really is something different between the two or a missing parameter (and there are a LOT of parameters in curl that I haven’t implemented) you can use the async shell script command and call curl directly.

Hi James,

After a long day and numerous debug experiments, where I noticed that copy and paste between a VNC connected XTension machine and my laptop was annoying to say the least, I found out using copy and paste on the XTension machine between the Script Editor window of XTension and TextWrangler, that I had those dreaded invisible ¿ characters again, which _did_ show up as little red devil ¿s in TextWrangler.

They are created by a backspace in the VNC connected window. As they were intermingled with the IP address digits (and yes, ONLY in the 245 address), loadURL couldn't locate the host and immediately closed the connection, without even logging that it did so?

I think I have things going now.
Cheers,
Ard
