[Bug 121057] New: Webquery: Insert Link to External Data gives server Error in ver. 3.4.1, used to work perfectly

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121057

          Priority: P3
            Bug ID: 121057
          Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
           Summary: Webquery: Insert Link to External Data gives server
                    Error in ver. 3.4.1, used to work perfectly
          Severity: blocker
        Issue Type: DEFECT
    Classification: Application
                OS: Windows XP
          Reporter: denver80218us@yahoo.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: AOO 3.4.1
         Component: open-import
           Product: spreadsheet

Created attachment 79577
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=79577&action=edit
file used to do WebQueery perfectly in earlier version, now NOTHING

WebQuery: Loading table from Internet gets error: URL [see below] works fine in
Firefox, OO file worked perfectly in previous version [3.3??] and File is
attached, now I updated to your latest 3.4.1 and get "server Error" Right after
"Insert Link to External Data", pasted this link to URL box, push Return and
get an error. [I'm after “main_Table”  in Available Tables window.]

Document that used to work just fine in previous version has the data, now upon
opening and clicking Update [this file contains link to external data?] it
gives error AND erases everything ["The link could not be updated."]. Also
Refresh every 60 seconds worked, now it stopped.

Here is the link - below. Document enclosed - email me if you have questions -
thanks!! [login email denver80218us@yahoo.com or alexander1us@msn.com] but I
think I covered it all in detail. Worked, now in 3.4.1 does NOT. I tried a
blank New Spreadsheet but no result either. You can test it in your older
version.  [How can I get older version to get it working till it's fixed and
resolved??]

File enclosed: webqueryError  
[A6 is the cell where i load data] saved as .XLS if that makes any difference?
I tried blank sheet and it still gives same error.

I downloaded the webqueryError.xls and load it. I got asked that the file
contains links to other files and if I want update them. Clicking ok triggered
an update and the document got updated. I can't reproduce the problem withe
this document on MacOS and AOO 3.4.1

The second Url in comment 4 works for me as well, the first Url only once and
the Url from comment 6 doesn't work for me. 

Seems to be not stable or a general problem. Further investigation necessary.

This was to register that updating our version of serf solves the bug. I didn't
mean you download and install serf (something impossible for a regular user, as
you have to build it from source).


> Thanks guys for fixing it. Just what to do with it??????

Unfortunately, OpenOffice does not provide partial updates for important fixes.
So you have to wait until the next release.

If this issue is a blocker for you, and you are adventurous, you could try a
build from the nightly build bot (if you are interested, I pass you the link).
If that build solves the bug, you could try copying the serf libraries from
this build into the installation folder of OpenOffice 3.4 (if you are
interested, I tell which libraries to copy, and where to copy them).

Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting you to do so ;) (even if you are adventurous,
the build from the build bot will replace previous versions of OO, so this
should be tried in a virtual machine).

Want to add that "Insert Link to External Data" worked minutes before OO update
to 3.4.1, file enclosed is from 2 days ago = everything is current, current
data in spreadsheet.  

BTW, is there any way to delete my 2 email addresses from my initial
submission? [don't want to get spammed] - thanks!!

I'm just a regular user... how do I install this serf thing on my Windows XP
Home, latest version??? You say "Works after updating serf to 1.2.0" 

I downloaded "serf" and it has a bunch of files, no installer, opened Readme
and have no idea what it is and what to do with it??:
--------
Welcome to serf, a high-performance asynchronous HTTP client library.

The serf library is a C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache
Portable Runtime (APR) library. It multiplexes connections, running the
read/write communication asynchronously. Memory copies and transformations are
kept to a minimum to provide high performance operation.

  * Status: http://code.google.com/p/serf/wiki/
  * Site: http://code.google.com/p/serf/
  * Code: http://serf.googlecode.com/svn/
  * Issues: http://code.google.com/p/serf/issues/list
  * Mail: serf-dev@googlegroups.com
  * People: Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein 

----

Quick guide for the impatient

  (Unix)
  % ./configure
  % make
  % make install

----

Building serf from a Subversion checkout (non-packaged releases)

We suggest that you try out 'serfmake'.

 % ./serfmake --prefix=/usr/local/serf --with-apr=/usr/local/apr install

If you want to use the autoconf build system and are using a Subversion
checkout, you need to run buildconf and have APR and APR-util sources handy.

 % ./buildconf --with-apr=/path/to/apr --with-apr-util=/path/to/apr-util
 (By default, buildconf will look in . and ../ for apr and apr-util.)

Then, you can use ./configure, make, etc.

Thanks guys for fixing it. Just what to do with it??????

Thanks for testing it guys... [yes sometimes some URLs work] BUT overall most
URL don't work ALL the time, or consistently... pointing to some BUG.  Problem
that needs to be resolved so it works 100% - as it used to work in previous
versionS.  Noticed a Mac may work "better"?  :)

Attachment 79577 works for me too, but please try with URLs in comment 4 and
comment 6
Both work in OOo 3.4.0 BETA OOO340m0 9583, and don't work with AOO.

Fixed on trunk.

@Alexander: the next release will be OpenOffice 4.0, there is no final release
date yet; it might be in the middle of 2013

In these times of cloud storage and web connectivity, this bug might be a
blocker for several users; it might make sense to think about a bug fix
release. This kind of discussions happen on the development mailing list,
anyone interested can post a mail bringing this topic.
