No it is not expected behavior. If you use a script like so
*on* mouseUp *load* url "http://localhost:8888/testf.txt"; with message "urlLoaded" -- loads async and calls message urlLoaded when done *end* mouseUp *command* urlLoaded pUrl,pStatus -- first var is the url in question, 2nd var is the status. *put* "The status of url [[pUrl]] is [[pStatus]]" & cr -- can check the status of the url caching. put "The contents of url [[pUrl]] is" & cr after msg put url pUrl after msg *end* urlLoaded If it shows error for the status, either the name is wrong, or something else possibly occurred. If you are getting the correct contents by leaving the .txt off of the URL then my gut feeling is that it really isn't actually there on the server. Either way, seeing what status you get back from load will be a good start towards finding the problem.
