verifier not recognizing http protocol (case problem?)
I received the following message ... which may have something to do with the cases in the script (I had to covert a few of the file names to begin with uppercase letters .. which fixed most things) where would I go to adust the accepted protcols (most likely cases)?

Checked 4 - Request Failed (501). Message: Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported
Checked 5 - Request Failed (501). Message: Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported
Checked 6 - Request Failed (501). Message: Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported

Took: 0 seconds to check 3 links.

The first thing I would check would be the %db_def variable in links.def to make sure that the URL field reads:

Quote:
URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

If that looks okay, then make sure that the file, http.pm, is located in admin/LWP/Parallel/Protocol (note the case of the directory names) and that it was uploaded as ASCII.

I hope some of this helps.

The http.pm was not in the package. Where can I get it?
Thanks,

BobH,

Are you sure it was not in the links2.zip file? It was in the one I downloaded. It is located in the admin/LWP/Parallel/Protocol directory inside the archive. If it wasn't there, try downloading again. If its still not there, then I'll send you one.
