Greetings fellow Newton refugees!
I have been trying to use www.palmzip.com from Newt'sCape ever since
Steve released the awesome Palm DOC viewer.
Unfortunately, I can never get it to work from Newt'sCape, although
it works fine from a desktop browser.
The problem occurs AFTER I enter the URL of the .zip file and press
"Go". On a desktop browser, I get a page with a hyperlink to the .pdb
(or whatever extension is in the .zip archive). In Newt'sCape, I get
a "404 Not Found" error. I have tried a few different settings but it
doesn't ever work.
I guess the problem might be related to a redirect. FWIW, one recent
test resulted in a URL of
"http://www.palmzip.com/__852567DA000428F0.nsf/0/071B7B389428E73985256
84A002342E7?OpenDocument"
Has anyone hit on a magic pref combination that allows this to work?
From what I can tell, this would be extremely useful, not only for
Palm DOCs but also other Newton accessible data stored in .zip
archives which formerly required expansion on a desktop, i.e. .gif,
.jpg, even .pkg!
Thanks,
-Jeremy
