Hi,

i allready used the search option, but i cant find any useful.
Im Looking for the http package, but i cant find it anywhere.
Also no luck with Google :S
Why isnt the package added to the www.egghelp.org database if it is required. ?

Or am i using the wrong search words ?

Are you using a script to retrieve data from the web? and displaying it on irc?

If then go download 'egghttp.tcl' and/or 'bgexec.tcl'.
You can maybe find them on www.egghelp.org/tcl.htm if not then try www.tclscript.com,

if you've done and still no results! there's nothing like google!

Hmm looks like you didn'read carefully what i was writing...

the http package von tclsript.com looks like this is not the "original" one. Because when i add this to the bot and another script, that required the http script starts, the script said that the required http package is still missing.

You can ask the author of the script which tcl http package does the script require.

Btw the egghttp.tcl is the original one, because the site where you have downloaded it from (if it is www.tclscript.com) the author's scripting website who has coded this http script himself. (So it ought to be updated as it's the authors website!) And same goes for bgexec.tcl!

To my knowledge egghttp.tcl and bgexec.tcl are the main and one and only widely used scripplets for this purpose, coded by strikelight. I haven't seen any other though.

Plus it has the highest number of downloads on his site, meaning its the most widely and commonly used one by almost everyone/everyscript. Maybe it doesn't work with your tcl so you might ask the author of that script which does he recommend to use.

The http package and egghttp.tcl from strikelight is not the same.

http packge can be found at www.tcl.tk or if you have tcl installed then you already have it, most likely in /usr/lib/tcl8.x/.. somewhere.

You might have to copy it over to your eggdrop dir and load it as a normal script.
