[Dxspider-support] QRZ lookups via DX Spider

[Dirk Koopman]

Connect to your node, and either run console.pl or telnet localhost 7300

type in: set/debug qrz

In another window run: watchdbg qrz   (that may be /spider/perl/watchdbg 
depending on whether you have followed the advice in the admin manual)

In the console/telnet session try a sh/qrz on a callsign. You should see 
something like this:

$ watchdbg qrz
18:59:32 <- I G1TLH sh/qrz g1tlh
18:59:32 qrz: 
xml.qrz.com:80/xml/current/?callsign=g1tlh;username=xxxxxxx;password=yyyyyyy;agent=dxspider

18:59:33 -> D G1TLH Data provided by www.qrz.com

You must have a valid username and password on qrz.com. You *may* have 
to have or have had a subscription. This is a reminder for me to renew mine.

If you try to run the query on the command line using say GET or "wget 
-O -" then don't forget to enclose the actual URL in SINGLE quotes (') 
as ? is a shell escape character and what will be sent will not be complete.

Dirk G1TLH

PS If you expect to supply a working sh/qrz to your users, then you 
should consider getting a subscription to qrz.com. This seems to me to 
be only reasonable.
