A scripting person I'm not but, I imagine someone could whip this kind
of thing out
with little effort.
Here's the description:
1. Code must compile/run without errors
2. It takes arguments for: timeout, url, expected_response_code,
retry_count
3. The script performs an HTTP GET for the url
4. If the HTTP response code matches the expected_response_code the
script will exit with status code 0
5. If the HTTP response code doesn't match exit with a nonzero status
code and print an error
6. If the HTTP GET either times out or fails in another way
(connection
refused, etc.) retry until retry count is exhausted
7. If all retries are exhausted without a success, print a message
to STDERR and exit with a non-zero status code.
Any help greatly appreciated - Donna

What have you tried so far?
We're not going to do your homework for you.

I'm pretty close to the same age. But I still take classes and get
homework. Nothing like it to keep your mind active.
So if this isn't homework, why would someone want a person with no
scripting experience?
And I don't doubt you, but it really does sound like a homework question
- both in wording and function. Very similar to what I would give my
students.

I'm a music teacher by trade.
I was hoping that I could help out one of my students and show him,
by example, that he could reach out to these news groups for guidance
and a helping hand. He said he had been down this path and rec'd no
help.
I wanted to prove him wrong and at the same time find a solution for
him....perhaps he would have more time to practice. (I have selfish
motives.)
Sadly, it seems he was right.....but maybe not. There might be
someone
who has a moment to share something constructive.
I presumed these newsgroups were for exchanging information and
mentoring those who were on their way up.
If I knew how to help him with this, I would have assisted him without
hesitation. I enjoy helping people.... no questions asked.
Thanks anyway, -Dk

Jerry is a well-known troll in these parts - belligerent and unhelpful
to a fault. Most usenet groups have such people, and it's usually a
good idea to read a group for a while without posting any messages,
to get an idea of who they are.
That said, there's a BIG difference between giving someone guidance,
and giving them a complete ready-to-run script.
> I enjoy helping people.... no questions asked.
So do many of the people here - but the help given is in the spirit of
teaching people to fish, rather than giving them fish. Some people
are too short-sighted and/or selfish to see the value of that approach;
others appreciate it.

Ha-ha! Sounds like good advice, thanks Sherm.... I'll stay out of the
computer user groups in the future, and buy a book instead.
I didn't realize this excercise was complicated.... Thinking if this
boy could "see" a sample of what this should look like, he could use
it as a stepping stone of sorts.
I'm forever trying to cajole my (music) students into using the
internet for the resource I know it can be.
But then, musicians LIKE to, "show-off" and share their techniques,
etc.
Everyone "learns" in their own way, some visual, some quick-studies,
some as
dumb as a box o' rocks. I will stand on my head with the patience of
Job
to get something across to student. If they don't "get it"...it's my
job to figure out a way to help them understand. (But I'm talking
about music)
I should stick to what I know. - Sincerely, Donna

Nice try, but I frequent the group you switched to as well.

If your student had attempted this and posted his attempts here, there
are lots of us who would chime in and help.
However, if you want to commission a complete piece of work, we expect
to be paid our normal rates for it.

No, these newsgroups are for helping people. However, they are not for
free consulting.
We will help others who are trying to do it themselves, giving the
guidance and tips along the way. But too often people come here looking
for someone to do their homework for them. This does not help them
learn very well, as I can attest from around 20 years of corporate
training for programmers - the best teachers help them do it themselves.
Your student hasn't asked here, but if he had tried to work on the
problem and asked for help, we would have gotten lots of it.
One other thing - there are some like Sherm who think they should get
all the free consulting help they want from this newsgroup instead of
paying for it. They're famous for calling me a troll and other names.
That's OK, they aren't the ones who help here. They just bitch and try
to get more free consulting.

Must be just me, then, but I have found Jerry to be one of the most
helpful people around here. I am fairly new to PHP but find that when I
post my flailing attempts to write code here Jerry is quick to give
constructive criticism and point me in the right direction. For which I
thanked him then and thank him now.

No, he said it. It was a homework assignment. He was attempting to get
help for a student's homework assignment, (apparently) after the student
previously tried to get other places to solve his problem and failed.
The "What have you tried?" test got completely failed, and OP went on to
wail about how mean we were in comparison to him because we questioned
before "helping".

Getting a good grade, I'd presume. Since for any production task, the
answer is "Why write what's already written better? Just use cURL."

For some value of "for", I suppose. I'm looking to understand what the
OP expects the script to do.

I'd have thought, if anything, a stepping stone to getting a better
understanding of something. But it's hard to guess what that something
might be.

That part was kind of glssed over in favor of the (homework-indicative)
oddly-specific requirements for supporting features that normally would
be either ignored or (ideally) specified by reference. (Like "following
the usual conventions for shell utilities in a unix-like environment".)

I think someone already wrote this program. It's not so much a script as
a single command. You might need to read the documentation.
As an exercise in improving your google fu, you might have to do some
intelligent googling to find the name of the program.

Don't worry about Stuckle; he's an egotistic narcissist IMO.
That said, more directly stating your problems and showing the code you
can't get to work would go a long ways toward getting better responses. Ask
ten people and you'll get ten answers to that post, none of which may work
for you.
It IS common practice to not help when it looks like all the person wants is
for someone else to do the work for them.
HTH,

There are many good sites on the 'net for newbies to PHP. w3schools.com and
php.com are the two best I know of, complete with a lot of sample code.

Hell, Twayne, you couldn't do your own homework, much less someone else's.
Now why don't you go back to your ditch digging with your pal TNP?
Between the two of you you might be able to figure out which end of the
shovel to use.

Since you seem to have missed the point of my (admittedly rather glib)
reference to unsubstantiated claims made on Wikipedia, I'll spell it
out for you:
Please provide a link to *any* request from me for free consulting,
homework solutions, or even an answer to any FAQs, in this or any other
group or forum.
In other words - put up or shut up.

Yes, that's true - but it won't help with the homework assignment.

Couldn't find any links, could you? Desperate to change the subject so
you don't have to deal with the fact that you lied?

I rest my case - Jerry Stuckle is a liar, and when pushed to substantiate
his lies, does nothing but respond with childish name-calling.

So, by replying to me, you're admitting that I'm not a troll. By your
own standard, if you considered me a troll you wouldn't be replying.

No, I don't feed the trolls. Replying to you is not admitting you are
not a troll. Your logic is flawed. But then most troll's logic is flawed.

No, Jerry's definition of a troll is someone who disagrees with him. A
really bad troll is someone who not only disagrees, but shows him
objectively to be talking out of his arse.
Which once you get him off a very narrow range of topics, is all he does.

Sherm,
would you care to join Jerry in my filter? He's really lonely in
there, and I think you two would be a perfect match! What do you
think?
