http::geturl http://url.to.a.page/mysqlbot.php?action=stats&user=[lindex $args 0]
putlog "stage 1"
}

when ya type !info bvgorp teh eggdrop should go to the url
the web page handles the rest

You need a catch or maybe a timer to time the connection out and spit an error if the bot can't connect to the site after so long. The bot reconnecting is due to tcl not being threaded I believe.

Also, you might need to be using POST instead of GET..

Code: Select all

http::geturl -query action=stats&user=[lindex $args 0]

FYI, you probably shouldn't use 'args' as a variable name.
