Incorrect URL, use http://metaserver.netrek.org:1080/ > http://metaserver.eu.netrek.org > >redirects to www.netrek.org The European metaserver is no longer available, so this address translates to one of the US metaservers. And, incorrect URL, add :1080/ to the end. If you want to remember the 1080 somehow, it's a fox poison we use on our farm here. Sodium fluoroacetate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080_%28poison%29 I've applied a patch to the metaserver in CVS to: - better form the HTML by including a <body> tag set, - remove the link to the European metaserver, - change title to Netrek Metaserver. I'll take patches to improve the style of the output, such as the use of embedded CSS or a CSS from www.netrek.org. The world wide web has adopted colour since I wrote the disp_web.c module. I'd also like to consider having the output in XML with a stylesheet, so that the www.netrek.org site could syndicate it. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
