Bug Report: PING HOST Action
Posted: Mon May 17, 2004 5:42 am
Apologies in advance if bug reports are unwelcome on this forum, please advise!
I wish to report a bug in the Evaluation Version 2.0.3 release. If the PING HOST Action is used to test a domain NAME address (eg not a numeric IP address), the function ONLY completes IF DNS RESOLVES THE NAME CORRECTLY.
Here are some example results:
robotask.com: Ping is 47 msec
taskrobo.com: Error occured: Socket Error # 11001,Host not found. Task is aborted.
As we all know too well, DNS often fails to resolve perfectly valid domain names, therefore I would expect PING HOST to take this into account.
Many thanks for an great program, keep up the good work!!!
