My bad. I shouldn't have used a misspelt domain to illustrate crashing the script.

My script, crashes out at the get with errors of "inactivity timeout" or "premature connection close". I can't see an attribute to interogate to capture those and recover. At the moment, the get fails, the script halts and I'm staring at the command prompt (All hail the command prompt); I'm not getting as far as the if statement.
