Pilot Chart Download

[pofranck]

Was trying to download Piot charts on Pilot Charts for Chart Plotters | Official OpenCPN Homepage and found a few misspellings in the URL for MED and SA.

http://opencpn.avnisoft.co.za/PolotCharts/SA.7z
should be
http://opencpn.avnisoft.co.za/PilotCharts/SA.7z

and
http://opencpn.org/opencpn.avnisoft.co.za/PilotCharts/MED.7c
should be
http://opencpn.avnisoft.co.za/PilotCharts/MED.7z

The link _http//opencpn.org will never open.
I have to access _http//www.opencpn.org
which is a PITA for browsing some pages which are linked by ..//opencpn.org/...
I mentioned it in another thread, and got a nice answer why (which I can't find right now) and ... didn't really understand.
Can / could/ would you do something about that ?

[cagney]

Can you try to ping the site like his

ping opencpn.org

ping www.opencpn.org

Works the same for Linux and win Just go to a terminal window/Dos window.
Any error messages or do you have "0% loss".
It may be a DNS problem, or a problem with you computer or Internet service provider.
Has anyone else experienced this particular problem?

Thomas

[pofranck]

I have 0% loss on both.
Sorry I know that does not help much.

Regards Peter

It must be something related to your provider DNS in my opinion, it seems to work for the rest of the world

[CarCode]

If a ping to opencpn.org or to OpenCPN | Official OpenCPN Homepage gives no results then try the ip address of the site directly: Try a ping to 74.112.248.86

[sailorF54]

Direct ping to opencpn.org or 74.112.248.86 is OK
Changing from my provider's DNS to another (and restarting computer and ...) ended in the same failure
I shall survive nevertheless...

Did you wrote "_http//..." as above in your browsers address line or correct: "http://..." ???

NOPE
Just try to write it without the underscore and it will be transformed into a link
with
_http://opencpn.org
_http://www.opencpn.org

without
http://opencpn.org/
http://www.opencpn.org/

Can you tell the difference ?

Edit: yes you can, first time I tried they both went
OpenCPN | Official OpenCPN Homepage

as in post #8 above, so I added the underscore.

Flabbergasted, I am...

The important part of what CarCode was saying is that the first time you posted them, there was no colon.

It was        http//opencpn.org
instead of    http://opencpn.org

Also, note that if it is put in code tags, you can write anything you want without the BB trying to reformat.
