[edit] General

Message Type: Information Message

This Message means that the BOINC Client Software is trying to obtain the Project's Scheduler List from the Project's Web Site by addressing the Project's Master URL. Once the Web Page has been fetched, the contents of this page will be scanned for the URLs that point to the Project's Schedulers.

The reason for this two step isolation is that it grants the projects the freedom to move, add, delete, modify, or otherwise change the number of and location of the Schedulers without having to notify all of the Participants.

Line-By-Line Explanation

We are going to use the Project's Master URL to fetch the Master File which will have address (URL) information embedded within that will allow us to contact the Project's Schedulers.
And we were successful in obtaining the Master Page.

[edit] Too Many Backoffs - Fetching Master File

2005-06-26 23:46:03 [Pirates@Home] Fetching master file
2005-06-26 23:46:04 [Pirates@Home] Master file parse failed
2005-06-26 23:46:04 [Pirates@Home] Too many backoffs - fetching master file
2005-06-26 23:46:05 [Pirates@Home] Deferring communication with project for 2 days, 16 hours,
                                   17 minutes, and 48 seconds

Line-By-Line Explanation

We are going to do a Scheduler RPC to obtain the Master File from the Project's Web Site.
The Master File failed to parse for one or more reasons.
Because of the number of times we tried to work with the Master Page exceeds the error bounds, we will obtain a fresh copy after the time required for the Exponential Back-Off has expired.
And now we wait for a brief span of time, I mean, heck, it is only 2 days ...
