Help With Basic HTML

Post by Alpha Omega »

So I have almost finished a dynamic weather system for my game. Part of that requires me to download data off the web. I get cloud/sun/wind data from various places on the web. One website changed there website a little bit and I need to change my code to retrieve the data. The browser can do it just fine but I want to make it to it by itself using my socket program I made.

The problem: I simply can't understand one line of code in the source page. The site is http://www.solrenview.com/cgi-bin/cgiha ... ite_ID=342. As you can see the file downloads just fine in the browser. But I look at this code in the source...

Code: Select all

 
src="cgihandler.cgi_files/cgihandler.htm"
 
It is mentioned a few times but I need this file which contains the url for the file. And everything will work. But what is this relative link voodoo? I don't understand.

I thought the absolute path would be

Code: Select all

 
http://www.solrenview.com/cgihandler.cgi_files/cgihandler.htm
 
But it says that directory doesn't exist. So my irrlicht friends do you know what this html code is doing? Many thanks.

PS. You can use firefox File->Save Page As... to retrieve this, cgihandler.htm file. I just need a html tutorial to find where this path actually is.
