Hello all,

I am trying to connect via telnet proxy, it appears that cMUD is not expanding the %host predefined variable when trying to connect. Here is what the output I see:

Connected to host 65.40.60.14
Telnet Gateway ready=enter computer name to connect to.

host[:port]: %host 6666
%host-Host not found

It appears to be expanding %port but not %host. Not sure how to correct this issue.

Edit: I am using cMUD 2.37 on XP with SP2, the same settings in zMud work fine on this machine.

Thanks,

Jamie

What happens if you select the "Open Offline" action to open your session and then type:

#SHOW %host

on the command line?

Zugg,

When I do #show %host offline it shows swmud.org but if I do a reconnect from there I get the previously stated output.

For further troubleshooting I tried with a clean session, no settings at all to make sure my triggers weren't a cause, I opened offline and did #show %host then tried to reconnect and this was the result:

swmud.org
Connected to host swmud.org
Telnet Gateway ready=enter computer name to connect to.

host[:port]: %host 6666
%host-Host not found

Thanks,

Jamie

OK, I'll look into this and add it to the bug list. Are you just using:

%host %port

for your Telnet proxy command string?

Yes sir.

Confirmed and fixed for the next beta version. This bug might effect other situations too. Basically, CMUD was not expanding a system variable at the beginning of a line when expanding a string. This is demonstrated by trying the following command:
