Re: Whats the deal with cels.org doing false updates? (Sun Feb 27 10:32:48 2000 )

I think that I already answered that one :

Don't forget that I wrote the program to check if there
was any change on a given page. It can't automagicaly
guess that some typo was fixed instead of some new cels
being added... (I may try to do something more complex
latter when I have time).
So sometime, a change is displayed when it's only the
provider that moved the pages around on the server or
"touched" the files...

There may be another reason : Sometime when doing
the check there may be network problems. The program
may not be able to connect to the site. Or the page
may be temporarly unavailable (too much load on the
server, server down,...). I try to catch such errors
and report a "down" but I may still have missed some
special conditions : that kind of network programnig
is relatively complex and I first did that program as
a quick patch for myself :) (but the online version
is already far better than the one I was used : on
some sites, it was reporting change every few hours
-laugh-)

Cheers,
