Mosaic/Term Halfway works

Mosaic/Term Halfway works

Post by Scott Burke » Mon, 26 Dec 1994 04:50:29



Under the TueV release of Mosaic (the one that is termified), I can connect
to gopher and ftp sites all day long.  However, when I attempt to connect
to a http site, the globe spins and spins, and never connects.  The message
at the bottom of the screen says "Making HTTP connection to localhost".
It sits there mindlessly until I cancel the transaction.

The funny thing is, that I had it working the day before... :-)

So, I decided to try to establish a connection with lynx.  Same dice.  I can
connect to gopher sites all day long, but no http.  In fact, trsh et al, work
just fine as well.

Soooo, I fired up txconn, and ran the Mosaic binary from the host side.
Works fine.  Anyone have *any* ideas whatsoever?  I have tried term 2.04 and
2.3.2, to no avail.  I tried to get 2.3.3 from purdue, but the permissions
are set up wrong.  Argh!

As I stated before, I had everything working the day before.  Then, I started
playing around with netscape, httpd, etc.  Never worked right since.  I went
through the system and removed all the httpd and netscape stuff, even the
experimental version of Chimera that I had laying around.  No dice.

This is driving me crazy.  Anyone?
