Problem with Example15

[Robert Rogerson <rogersonra@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I am attempting Scott's new Example15 where he retrieves the top news
   stories from cnn.
   The biggest hurdle right now is that our shop DNS has been disabled on
   our development box so nothing goes out accidentally.  I have been
   told that DNS nor host table entries will be allowed.  I also read the
   notes at ([1]http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/dns.html).
   For this reason I am hard coding an IP address in place of the host
   name.
   I retrieved the IP by (ping [2]rss.cnn.com) from my PC which did allow
   me to ping cnn.
   I then changed the folllowing url
   // ****************************************************
   //  Download the latest news headlines from CNN
   //  to a temporary file in the IFS
   // ****************************************************
   // url = '[3]http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss';
   url = '[4]http://74.125.93.121/rss/cnn_topstories.rss';
   I have successfully run examples EXAMPLE18 and EXAMPLE19 using this
   same approach.
   When I try the cnn example my httpapi_debug.txt contains

   Does anyone have any suggestions of alternate methods or why I am
   getting the 404 error?  When I type in the address on my PC it works
   file.
   Thanks,
   Rob
