I scrolled down about three screenfuls of stuff that was obviously
irrelevant to the problem. Then I found two variables v1 and v2 that are
declared but not referenced, but I can't tell if that's relevant to the
problem or not. Then I saw
document(concat($server,'/getinfo.dox?...........), and I don't know what's
in the variable $server, and if I did, I wouldn't know what's in the
document that's fetched - if indeed anything is. So I started wondering
exactly what your problem is, and I got to the end of the mail, which just
says that your code doesn't work. I don't know what it's supposed to do, and
I don't know what it actually does, so I gave up. Since you asked the same
question three times, I thought I would let you know why I didn't answer.
