Ok, thanks anyway--I'm already happy with having the installer working for now, I'll distribute it via dokuwiki. -- Éric On Nov 15, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Robby Findler wrote: > I don't know, but you might try connecting directly to the server and > looking at the bytes yourself. DrRacket's downlo

I don't know, but you might try connecting directly to the server and looking at the bytes yourself. DrRacket's downloader thing just uses net/url. I believe I added something so that redirections are handled properly, but maybe something is going wrong with that. So if it is possible that a redir

Ok, this must be related to the webserver somehow. I put the .plt file on another host (which runs a dokuwiki), and installing from there works. Is that a known problem with some server configuration? maybe the server does not deal with .plt extension properly... (in dokuwiki, I could configur

Yes, indeed, I want a .plt file that my students will install via DrRacket. I tried raco pack plazy.plt plazy (where plazy is the directory with all the stuff) and it is behaving in a similar manner: - if from file, it asks where to put it - if from web, I get the same error message any idea?

Planet creates .plt files that are meant to be installed via the planet command-line tool or via (require (planet ...)) after they've been uploaded to planet. If you want to install them via DrRacket (is that what you're doing?) then you probably want to use 'raco pack' to create them. Robby On

Hi, I am creating a small plugin for the first time. I create the .plt file using: raco planet create mydir/ While "it works", I get some problems with installation: - if I install the .plt "from file", the install works but for some reason I have to manually specify the target directory (a w
