Add-Spider Possible Bug?
I'm getting some reports about the add-spider plugin not doing anything when feting a URL to parse. Having tested this several time, it does indeed skip the occasional address with just the spider add page reappearing again (no errors, just the add page again).

Although not a big issue, perhaps you can check your codes when you next update again.

Thanks.

Do you have a url handy that causes it to do that?

It's not subject to any particular URL, all entries causes the plugin to skip but as I said, it's only intermittent. Out of about 20 attempts on a single URL for testing, 5 are skipped with the add-spider page just reloading again.

I'll keep an eye on the problem to see if this continues and report back here latter.

Hi,

When you get really intermitent problems like that, 99% of the time it's due to something with mod_perl. First thing I'd do is stop and start the mod_perl server, to make sure everything has the latest code loaded. Then if you still have a problem, try tail -f the error log and see if you can reproduce (with debug turned off or it will be just too much information).

Cheers,

Alex

I fixed the problem.

Adding a <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> within the <form> tag in add_spider.html now makes it work everytime without failures.
