I’ve gotten two different errors while trying to use this script. Here they are:

New Stikkit Encountered an Error URL Access Scripting got an error: An error of type -1 has occurred. number -1 while sending data to Stikkit

New Stikkit Encountered an Error URL Access Scripting got an error: An error of type 71 has occurred. number 71 while sending data to Stikkit

Any ideas?

Zach, those errors are coming from the actual post attempt to Stikkit. My guess is that you have an invalid API key or else the Stikkit website is having problems.

these are really useful, thanks!

Nice work.

Is the source code available? Presumably it is, since you’ve released it under the GPL.

Also, is there any more to the API than posting a new stikkit? Even that functionality seems to be undocumented, at least as far as I can find. Is there more hiding somewhere?

The applet, script and service all use the same source code. Just open the applet or script in Script Editor and you can check it all out.

The API is currently 100% undocumented. I based it on an example script that Stikkit’s folks posted in their forums.

when i post german stikkits via Quicksilver that have umlauts, they arrive scrambled … guess it is the charset …

oh, and how do i create a stikkit with a new line? Sometimes it works by hitting return, sometimes it doesn’t.

Otherwise GREAT package!

Yeah, the script doesn’t support unicode at this time. Would be nice to have, but I think I’ll wait for Stikkit to nail down their API (and document it!) so that I can figure out what to send to ‘em, character encoding wise.

As for new lines, try two returns instead of one. That might be more reliable.

First of all, fantastic job in putting this together! I’m having a very odd occurrence, though, and wonder if you have any ideas where I’m running into trouble. Every second attempt to use the script to make a stikkit seems to work fine (that is to say, it works once, doesn’t work once, works again, doesn’t work, etc); the error message I get when it fails is ‘New Stikkit Encountered an Error URL Access Scripting got an error. An error of type -31040 has occurred. number -31040 while sending data to Stikkit’

I’ve tried to reset the API, but the problem seems to persist, and I’m baffled by the fact that it seems to work half the time. Any ideas? Thanks very much, and keep up the fantastic work!

I was having the same error with the -31040 error every other time when posting. I thought that maybe the first run of the script somehow left URL Access Scripting in a state where it was still running but not in the right state to accept another AppleScript command. When a second run of the script sent the still-running instance more input, it would throw the -31040 and bail, allowing the next run of the script to start a new instance which would work. All of this is hypothesis, of course, and I must stress that I am not an AppleScript guru by any stretch.

Looking around, I saw that a few scripts go through the trouble of telling URL Access Scripting to quit once they’re done with it (see, e.g., http://db.tidbits.com/article/05396). So I put the line:

tell application "URL Access Scripting" to quit

Immediately before the line

end sendToStikkit

and this error has stopped. YMMV.

to iNik: The script is great! Thanks for all of your work on it.

John’s fix above worked great for me. Should probably be rolled into the package. Thanks!

this package is fantastic — thanks! quick question — is there anyway to forward my email from mail app to stikkits so that the attachments stay linked or connected?

thanks

Nope, that’s impossible. Stikkit can’t store files.

Adding the line “tell application “URL Access Scripting” to quit” fixed my issues as well.

AWESOME! Works great. Thanks so much. This is the missing link for Stikkit access.

Great job

Thanks Daniel
