HamQth Look up fails

Running CQRLOG V 1.3.1 in Debian SID and Debian Stable (two maschines..), installed by dpkg -i the 386er package after download ..

Problem: I can't poll any info from the HamQTH Database .. instead of any call related infoamtion I get only an error like message:

Tag "*session_id*" not found!

(please relplace the * by 'less than ' and 'greater than' signs.. that won't pass the html tag filter in the forum)

(this is an old problem for me since shift to HamQTH in V 1.xx .. that never worked for me)

Using the 'HamQth Button' and starting the browser works fine for me, also the user account on HamQth works perfect with the user/password used ;)

Any idea, what might be the show stopper?

Re: HamQth Look up fails

Hi Olaf,

could you please try it in web browser? the address is:

http://www.hamqth.com/xml.php?u=username&p=password and please look if you get any session id. If yes, you can try search with
http://www.hamqth.com/xml.php?id=session_id&callsign=dl5ybz

Hi Petr, sorry for the long

Hi Petr,

sorry for the long time it took me to test... but finally I got a positive info for you:

>>
http://www.hamqth.com/xml.php?u=username&p=password and please look if you get any
session id.
<<

This does not reply a session id but only a message, that password and user are not valid... looks strange to me because normal lock in via the web page works without any problems.

The key of the problem was a '#' sign as part of my password...

This (and I guess some other 'special' character) won't work in cqrlog ..guess this is part of the url decode / encode problem in html..

As a workaround I changed my password using only 'normal characters and no '#' and all works fine for me :)

Thanks for you help and great work!

Hello.  I am running 1.8.2 on

Hello.  I am running 1.8.2 on CentOS7.  I am getting the same issue with: Tag "*session_id*" not found!  I can issue this in a browser: http://www.hamqth.com/xml.php?u=username&p=password  and I do get a session ID back.  I can press the "H" icon and will go to HAMQTH and the lookup works.

 

Thank you
