[Dxspider-support] SH/CONTEST not working

Dear All,

Is there anyone around who has managed to configure the sh/contest command?

*16Feb25*

   1. Modified Internet.pm to set $contest = "contest.dxtron.com". This
   means that show/contest will work again. If you have a copy of
   Internet.pm in /spider/local, please update the $contest variable there.
   2. Set $DXProt::sendverify to 2 as the default.

This setup worked well during this weekend’s *ARRL CW* contest. Other
challenges have emerged and will be addressed before the next major contest.

I have configured the various strings, but it is not working on my end. I
also noticed that on some other clusters, the command stops at the message
*"Working..."*

sh/contest
show/contest Working...

These are the variables in my Internet.pm file:

$allow = 1;

$contest_host = 'contest.dxtron.com'; (used by show/contest)

$contest_url = "http://$contest_host/contest/text"; (used by show/contest)

Waiting for info.
