If someone sends a huge link by telegram, such as
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?PID=1112697&catalogId=2501&params=100x100generic&productId=109777&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FArgosCreateReferral%3FstoreId%3D10001%26langId%3D-1%26referrer%3DCOJUN%26params%3Dadref%253DPersonal+care-%3EElectric+toothbrushes%26referredURL%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FProductDisplay%253FstoreId%253D10001%2526catalogId%253D2501%2526productId%253D109777%2526langId%253D-1&langId=-1&referrer=COJUN&AID=10294381&storeId=10001

It crashes AW.. Does this happen to anyone else?

I haven't tried sending a telegram with a long URL yet, but if you want
to make a URL shorter, try this site:

That was an old bug in AW too o_O

I'm just saying that it shouldn't crash AW to simply click a long link lol..
Might this have something to do with a URL being too long for the text box
in the web window?

Sep 6, 2004, 3:49am

Yep, I got this to happen; thought it only happens with the Web Window configured to accept it.

I think it might be forcing too much text into the web window text bar, so
instead of cutting off the end of the url, it simply crashes.

Sep 7, 2004, 6:15am

Or could be someone didnt give enough memory into the URL buffer.

I confirmed this too.

1) opened IE and pasted the url there. No problem, I got the
toothbrush.

2) opened AW 555, pasted the url in the built-in web browser. The url
got truncated and I got a server error.

3) sent myself this url through telegram. opened the telegram and
clicked on the url. AW crashed.

The last lines of the debug log give:

I've reported this to Chris, he will have a look at it later on.

Good find!

Thanks for pointing this out, ferrucio!
Browser build 556 of the browser will fix this issue.

Thanks,

Currently available for beta testers only, I think. I got it and
tested it, and it works fine. The limit is now 999 bytes instead of
255 for a full url string in the built in web browser.

meat doesn't taste like crap! >_< meat is the greatest thing since sliced

chicken also tastes good, but sometimes only meet will do it ^_^

I like ground beef, pepperoni (for pizza only), and sausage. Very much.
Enough said. ^_^

Taco
Pizza
Lasagna
and all other Mexican/Italian food.
Sausage
Oh, and also hamburger, although I don't like french--err I mean freedom
fries offered along with. ;)

Damn, I'm getting hungry, thanks to your discussions of food. ;)

And I believe Chris has it so that it truncates rather than crash the
browser if it is larger than 999

Why use fixed amounts at all? That just causes problems later on down
the line.

Sep 15, 2004, 3:39pm

have you ever tried to send infinite bytes?

[View Quote] Why would you do that? Obviously you'd have to do some coding to piece
together packet information strung out across multiple packets. It's
not unheard of, it's doable.

Try throwing him an example, Bowen. He'll get it. ;)

[View Quote] I only speak from theory, I have no experience with TCP packets.

Certainly trying to fit things into a single packet is one way...
probably an antiquated method though.

Sep 15, 2004, 8:10pm

Perhaps via compression?

[View Quote] > Perhaps via compression?

Certainly one way to overcome this problem. But I think a much better
way would be some sort of master packet per grouping of packets. One
that tells how many packets will be needed, how to put them parse them
back together (obviously that's something that would need to be
implemented on larger scale packets... like an "infinite" cell limit).

All theory though, I have no experience with packets. :) It probably shows.
