[Zope] importing Site Summaries

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I've got a problem using Site Summary because of a problem with a URL I'm
trying to retrieve, not directly because of the Site Summary product. I'm
trying to get some of the news feeds from moreover.com, but their URLs
look like: http://h.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?index_techlatest+rss

The '?' in the URL really confuses things when I try to update the Site
Summary instance using the prescribed method of calling importFromURL like
this:

http://www.mysite.com/mySummary/importFromURL?url=http://h.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?index_techlatest+rss

Evan Simpson suggested creating a method in the directory where I keep my
Site Summary instances that looks like:

<dtml-with moreover.com_techlatest)
<dtml-call expr="importFromURL(this(), REQUEST,
url='http://h.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?index_techlatest+rss')">
</dtml-with>

and then my updating script (using cron) would be:

#!/bin/sh
lynx -source http://localhost/headlines/grabNews

Unfortunately, doing what I just described doesn't work and produces the
following traceback:

Traceback (innermost last):

Does anyone have any ideas? Perhaps you've gotten this to work with
another strategy. Thanks.
