Unable to read a dynamically created CSV, more poor error reporting #189

Open ijohnson222 opened 5 years ago

ijohnson222 commented 5 years ago

Maybe this is out of scope, but I am trying to read a CSV file which is a. not in DropBox and b. is created dynamically (and is rather slow to respond). The URL is: https://heuristplus.sydney.edu.au/h5-ao/viewers/smarty/showReps.php?db=dpmck_us_mexico_travelers&w=a&q=t%3A49&publish=1&debug=0&template=CSV%20Ship%20voyages.tpl

All I get is an error telling me it failed to load. So I don't know if it can't cope with https, can't cope with non-dropbox files, doesn't have appropriate mime type, took too long to respond, had data errors in it (although the output loads OK if I paste it in), or ... Please could it at least say what went wrong?

@ijohnson222 Sorry for the delay in response. In this case it is a CORS issue. You'll need to go through the steps outlined here for the server at https://heuristplus.sydney.edu.au : https://enable-cors.org

I'll leave the issue here open as the error reporting could certainly be improved in this way. Thanks!

Thanks, useful pointer which is actually very relevant to an upcoming project. I'll pass it on to my developer.
