WebParser Relative Pathing Problem
Posted: September 18th, 2017, 5:40 am
Hi all,
Im writing a little quote-fetcher to interface with poems.com.
Currently, I have somehow managed to throw my two webparser measures into an infinite loop...though I don't know how xD
Basically, the first webparser goes to the home page, finds the poem-of-the-day weblink, and passes that url to the second webparser. The second webparser uses that relative path (appended to the home domain) to grab the text of the poem and the author.
Where did I go wrong?
