[Zope] Problem setting up Ultraseek DA

23 Apr 2001

      Hello everyone,

Has anybody had any success integrating the Inktomi search engine with a Zope
application?

I have been trying   to use the Ultraseek DA product, without much success.

Creating  an Ultaseek DA object fails with  "An error occurred connecting to
the server. " message.
 After debugging UltraseekDA.py, I found a  problem with   the following
statement;

data=marshal.loads(data)   (line 135)

I  have included a small python program  along with it's output which
demonstrates the problem (I think).

Regards,

John Lawson

import marshal
import httplib
h = httplib.HTTP('proxy:8765')
h.putrequest('GET', '/da/config.html')
h.putheader('Accept', '*/*')
h.endheaders()
errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
f = h.getfile()
data = f.read() #get the  marshalled data
f.close()
print headers
data=marshal.loads(data)
