Problems with getURL.
This issue was mainly caused by some server side configuration (i think) but here is what the problem was, we were trying to implement a bandwidth sniffer to redirect the user depending on their connection speed but for some reason after detection of the bandwidth accurately we couldn’t redirect.
After lots of frustrations and numerous attempts, even tried using loadvars.send method it still wasn’t working. Finally someone came up with a suggestion that lets use “allowscriptAccess” parameter in our html and set it to “always” and there it was.
The redirection was working fine and everything else was as expected. So for some reason if getURL fails for you try adding this html parameter and try it out.
