It's been brought to my attention that the webpage url from my website to my
world isn't working, nor is it working from the site of the person who
notified me of the problem (not Mauz btw LOL). I've grammed ENZO the
following:

*****************************************************
Teleport links from a website to worlds are no longer working, can you
tell me whatz up with that ... or when/if you are going to fix it? A couple
of examples of world links on webpages are:

Mauz's
http://objects.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/teleport.cgi?aw_7700N_7700E

Mine
http://objects.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/teleport.cgi?Aeon

I was notified of this problem via yet another user who says it's only
been occuring since he d/l 553 but I'm on 551 and I'm having the
same problem :o/
*****************************************************

I'm sure he'll reply if/when he finds out what's up, but I was wondering if
anyone else knows of this &/or if there's a cure? I'm thinking it's a CGI
issue on AWI's website? Any confirmation?

Yes. Someone forgot to move the CGI for that. E N Z O will see this
sooner or later in the morning.

Those links work when you click within AW's internal browser (the browser did not even send that request to the target site but intercepts the content :).
The new Object server doesn't have this cgi by accident but you still can use the same teleport CGI from the address:
http://www.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/teleport.cgi

When did this change occur? Worked fine via my webpage before, as it has for
many others like Mauz who lists teleports to areas or worlds.

The AW Browser also installs an AWT MIME type set to auto-launch (do not
confirm open) so when you click a link, it downloads a file with the
teleport coordinates on the first line (it just a txt file) and it opens
with the active worlds browser.

If no browser is open it loads it, if it is already open it is told to
teleport.

Well it's not workin, I had a browser open and the links went no where.
Someone else said AW needs to *move* something and that's likely the answer.
