SEARCH function

[kskib046]

Any idea why the SEARCH function with a URL won't work from an appserver (_proapsv.exe)? It works okay from Webspeed or procedure editor. Windows firewall is off, corporate firewall only blocks by ports. The Admin service is common between the webspeed/appservers. Is there a better way to check if an image exists given a URL?

Example:

MESSAGE search("http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo3w.png").

Windows Server 2003
10.1b
10.2b

This was addressed one day later in a PANS article - this article does not seem to be available in the public knowledge base. It's a missing feature:

The ability to use an URL with the SEARCH function was originally a Windows-only feature (GUI client and Web Client). When this feature was extended to the character and WebSpeed client, it was not extended to the AppServer client.
