Hi Don, re: > When a request is made by the IDV for an image, we try to distinguish > whether the image is not available, or whether there was some other > error (e.g. the server is down, etc). We do this by checking the return > message from the server (not really the best way, but the only way I can > think of at present). So far, we see the following: > > ADDE imgget server returns: "No images..." (not sure of the exact message) > GINI server returns: "There are no images that...." > > so we key on the string "no images" (case insensitive). Could you go > through the McIDAS-X image servers that you've written and send us a > list of the range of messages that are sent when the request does not > match an image? Sure. Here are the messages sent when no images meet the selection criteria: nexradir.cp - There are no images that meet the selection criteria giniadir.cp - There are no images that meet the selection criteria nowradir.c - There are no images that meet the selection criteria That's it for the servers that I authored. As you can see, my messages are, at least, consistent :-) A lot of the standard McIDAS and XRD servers also use a standard message: nssxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria airsadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria airxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria amrradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria amseadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria amsradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria ashxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria catgadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria kalpadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria maaaadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria maaadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria maadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria mod3adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria mod4adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria mod8adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modcadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modiadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modladir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modsadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modvadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria modxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria nssxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria sminadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria tminadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria So, the question is if I should change the message used in the three servers that I wrote?
