I have an external method that I call using:

<dtml-with expr="getmap('177')" mapping>

And all works fine ...

But if I change that value 177 to 30516 I get :

Error Type: IndexError Error Value: list index out of range

I faily to understand why ... The value is actually passed as a string, which is what i want ... in the PythonEM, all that's done is a string concatenation:

def getmap(id): mapserver = urlopen("http://www-gad2.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/ nac/"+id+".map&template=to_zope.html") <more code>

Anybody know why this is happening and how to get around it? You should get a traceback. It should tell you in which line the exception is raised.

Maybe "urlopen" has a bug and can only work with "short" URLs? Look at the trackback to find out. Dieter
