Make sure that the ​http://dev.virtualearth.net/ server is accessible.

[skyper]

Maybe that was the point. It is working now.

The page opens within a browser but I get these errors again. It worked an hour ago with the same settings.

This is still an issue.

I have to admit that my internet connection is not the best, but on the other hand all other internet pages open normaly and with r3715 it works wonderful. Is there anyting I can do for debugging ?

r3182

[Upliner]

Does bottom-right attribution shows correctly in r3715? If no, it's not "wonderful" because it infriges Microsoft's license.

It does not work.

[Upliner]

Only thing I can suggest is to use some public proxy server when adding Bing layer first time. Once attribution data is loaded, it's remembered until JOSM exit, so proxy is not needed anymore and can be disabled.

[bastiK]

Maybe set a timeout for attribution retrieval:

URLConnection conn = u.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(5000);
InputStream stream = conn.getInputStream();

And make the 5000 a pref value, so skyper can set it to 30000 or something.

I have the same or closely related issue with Bing, I have Windows 7 r3790. then I start Bing I get (Got an attribution image 29x93) and nothing more. With Wireshark I get some lines with corrupted packets.

My problem is now fixed JIPPI. I found the small pesky box "Autoload tiles by default" empty, and hey presto! let there be Bing.

[skyper]

Hi

any progress on this problem ?

I also get some lines with corrupted packets within wireshark.
Do you need a dump or is there a recommanded proxy to use.

At least for me latest is almost useless right now and with an older version I violate the "Terms of Use".

Switching on and off a proxy is not working well, cause my machines here have not much RAM and I have to restart JOSM quite often to free memory from java, especially with WMS active.

Thanks

[skyper]

Sorry for being unpatient.

I fiddeled around a bit with proxies and now the solution works for me so far.

[bastiK]

You could write some lines in the documentation, how you solved the issue.

Done.
I basicly followed Upliner's instructions ! Have look at Help/ErrorMessages.

[skyper]

Three days ago it worked without a proxy but today it does not.

Eather I get it to work right a way within 1 second or it will not work at all.

[skyper]

It was a problem of my connection. Anyway it would be nice to link the error-message to a help-page, activated by clicking.
