Hi all:
I'm working on a CGI that takes a series of file uploads and then stuffs
and zips them into archives for download using Stuffit Commands 5.5 and
the scriptable DropStuff 5.5. It does this using a unique id/serial number
for the archive file name. For me it works, so I've turned it loose on
some students to abuse. For them, every now and then, it complains that
the target file "does not exist", by popping up a dialog box on the
server (ouch).
In itself this doesn't make a lot of sense, since the target file
*shouldn't* exist initially, but the problem I'm trying to solve right now
is the dialog box itself. I've wrappped the Stuffit invocations in a TRY
block, which seems to capture (and log) the same error condition, but
doesn't stop the dialog box from appearing. Any ideas?
