Not able to connect to pastebin?

Hello I'm trying to get my programs to transfer from my pastebin to my computer using the simple pastebin get function in the terminal but it keeps saying Connecting to pastebin…… Failed I can navigate through pastebin.com just fine but unable to get files from their to my computer is this a bug? Change with Pastebin itself? Perhaps a config change btw I'm going on a public server where I had no access to the server files and the owner rarely comes on, I was told so can someone help me?

Whether or not you have access to pastebin usually depends on whether ComputerCraft is configured to allow it. By default, most versions don't - they need to be tweaked to enable the http API.

If you type "lua" into the command prompt, then "type(http)", that should come back "table". If it instead tells you "nil", then the server is configured to block ComputerCraft from accessing the web.

The most probable answer is the server has http disabled ask a op or something with access to server files to enable it.

Make sure you have the pastebin paste ID code correct.

The pastebin id code is correct and I tried on other pastebin id's and they still don't work and I did do the "type(http)" and it returned "table" So I don't know what the problem could be

Can you give us an example of how you're using the pastebin command?

pastebin get N22T449A dark

Well, it's certainly a valid ID.

It may be worth looking at the computer you're using - if memory serves, the pastebin script will give much the same error for connection issues as it will for the drive of the computer being full or somesuch.

Yah i barely made the Advanced computer and just labeled it but let me try to get another computer and see if it works


Edit: Yah it won't work on any Computer even if i do pastebin run N22T449A dr

So anything I can do?

Btw is this possible? Can a server get banned from pastebin?

remix, try to understand the problem before you "help."

If http were not enabled, he would get "No such program" when trying to call pastebin.

if the file already existed, he would get "File already exists"

I'm not sure what's wrong, but it's possible his server has been banned from pastebin, which can happen if your server is making too many pastebin requests.
