[libRETS-users] Getting an Entire Resource

[Robert Burdick]

Yeah, this query works with our RETS server, RE Info Link.  The empty query
gets the entire table of cities, city codes, etc.  Is there another spec
compliant way to do this?  All of my thrashing is simply to get the city
name associated with a listing!  This is no longer returned from our server,
just the CityId, so I'm trying to look the city name up.

Does that query actually work?  If so, its out of spec.  You cannot have 
an empty query.

Is that error from the server or via librets?  I can't remember if 
libRETS checks for that or not and I'm away from my computer at the 
moment.

If it is libRETS, I can see an argument for making a flag to relax that 
complaint if its libRETS complaining.
