why can't i write to a url with datasocket

[Fianlor]

It seems trivial, but why can't I use a simple datasocket write function to write a text file to a url (I own the URL) without using dstp?

Thanks!

Hi there

Append "[text]" to the URL (like with ftp). See attachment.

Hmm. Still doesn't work. Maybe my syntax is incorrect. See attached vi where "MysiteHere" is the name of the web site to which I am trying to write the file.

Fianlor-

Not all websites support adding [text] to the end of the URL, as seen with www.google.com[text].  If this is the case, then you will not be able to edit the text of the file from the website.  Please check to see if you can go to the website in question with “[Text]” added to the end of it and if you get an error.
