http body

[Jerry Lam <bo...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

When I use tcl http package to request the body (content of the url) of a websh page, it returns me a list {digit1 body digit2} which I don't understand why. Do you have an idea of what is going on?
Aparently, digit1 is the length of the body. But I have no idea of what digit2 is. 
The funniest thing is when I request the page through the web browser, it doesn't have digit1 and digit2 in the body, I wonder what is wrong?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry

I think this is a http question, no websh problem.

I used http against websh generated pages and it didn't show the effect 
you describe. You may find this example usefull (it uses aswell 
Authorization):

- example ---------------------

package require http
package require base64
proc buildHeader {username password} {
          return [list "Authorization" \
               [concat "Basic" [base64::encode $username:$password]]]
}
set url http://your-page
set tok [http::geturl $url -headers [buildHeader yourname yourpassword]]
puts [http::data $tok]

-------------------------------

Sorry for being off-topic.

Seems to be a http package issue, not a Websh issue, unless you
actually output something of the form you describe. However, a "view
source" in the browser would certainly also show {digit body digit}
