Hello gang!ããWas wondering if there was a src or js script that will requst a raw ansi file over http and then do a console.printfile within an external program or to display a hotlink?ããThanks..ããBillããããã---ã þ Synchronet þ TequilaMockingbird Online - Toms River, NJã

I host an ANSI archive on my BBS, which is viewable remotely viaãthe ansiview external program. The files are fetched via HTTP.ããThere's no simple script just to fetch and display a .ans file that I'm awareãof, but it would be easy to do. I can make it for you, but I might need a fewãmore details.ããOne gotcha is that if the file is hosted on a Synchronet webserver, the serverãmight convert it to an HTML rendering of the graphic before sending it to theãclient. (See ctrl/web_handler.ini, and whether asc_handler.js is set up toãserve .ans files.) There are ways around that, starting with just giving theãfile something other than a .ans extension.ãã---ãechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

This could be a script that you call fromãxtrn_sec.js after a user exits an external program, or it could be a menu-basedãthing where a user picks from a list of score files to view, or both.

Theã'cache_ttl' setting in 'settings.ini' controls how long a cached file remainsãvalid for, in seconds. The default value is 86400 (one day).

The script just downloads the file (or reads the cached copy from disk)ãand writes it to the terminal.
