Yes I can it works perfectly from the browser.

This indicates that the username/password is not correct. Can you log in to that logbook in your browser with the username "John" and password "Blue"?

Hi Stephan

The error message I get is "Error: Command Submit not allowed". I dont know if this might be an issue but it says Response Recieved: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in the first line of the servers response

Run the elog command with an additional -v flag (verbose output), and you will see what the elogd server return. It's HTML, but you should be able to see some error message.

Thank you Stephan this really helped me.

Good Afternoon

Im trying to automatically post an entry using information saved in a text file. I have followed the example in the users guide but i always seem to get a error message saying transmission failed. Lets say for instance I have a user named John and his password is Blue and he wants to log into a logbook called home from a textfile the command im using to log a message from the file is

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -u John Blue -l home -a Author=John -m textfile

I cant seem to figure out why i keep getting this error message. I even tried deleting the password file because i thought it might be an authentication issue.

Can anybody assist me please it would be much appreciated.

No, formulas are not yet implemented. For such things I would use Google Spreadsheets in meantime.

Hi Stefan,

Good day. I'm thinking if this wishlist is already available in elog. The values in columns we're added or computed according to formula set in a single separate column.

Thanks,

Raymund
