What happened to the Open URL script step?

[TrulySimple]

I have a script step : Open URL ("//121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7?script=OpenInventory")

It was working fine the other day. Now if using FM 11 it opens Safari and I get this response: "The requested URL /121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7 was not found on this server."

If using FM Go it, says "Loading Web Page..." for a long while then: " Failed to open "http:////121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7?script=OpenInventory"

Was there a change in how to open a served file with a script step or what am I missing. I can open the remote files in FM 11, and FM Go using the open remote file menu choices.

Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks

Try using adding "http:" and use the script step

Open URL ("http://121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7?script=OpenInventory")

Thanks for your reply. I tried that and get the same result. The original command had been working fine and I got that from the FM website showing how to open other files from within a script for FM Go, though it worked the same in FM 11.

I have not figured out what has changed. Maybe something at my end, though I can access the files from iPad, iPhone, Macbook Pro using the file directory. This command just wants to open a web page and does not seem to open a FM file? Yet it worked w/o problem last week. :

That has never been valid.

For FileMaker Pro it should be

fmp7://121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7

On FileMaker Go it should be

fmp7script//121.44.25.227/Inventory.fp7?script=OpenInventory

The fmp7script method only works on Go.

Thanks Bruce. I tried this as well and get the same result? It did work w/o the fmp7script from Go as well as Pro. This is the FM help link where I learned it from: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7786/kw/fmp7script

Strange that it tries to open a web page now, and it would open FM files with no problem before.

Perhaps if I restart FM Server? I am still serving on FSA 10.

I also tried it using a local url and it also is giving the same result.

I rebooted server and still the step does not work? Can someone see if the script step still works on your machines?
