I was trying to load the ICD9 code tables into my system (as I’m using someone else’s fork which doesn’t have them)

For this I followed the instructions on the wiki page:

http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/Load_ICD9_Codes

I installed Activeperl and ran the script as given.

some of the codes were being downloaded but the code insertion is aborted midway with the following error message:

Error GETing http://www.icd9data.com/2010/Volume1/140-239/170-175/172/default.ht
m: Status read failed: An established connection was aborted by the software in
your host machine. at C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\openemr\contrib\util\load_ic
d_desc.plx line 75

it always stops at line 75 which holds the code:

  my $browser = WWW::Mechanize->new();
  $browser->get($url);
  my $parser = HTML::TokeParser->new($browser->content());

I have checked my connection and other security options which may have prevented the download,and its inserting some codes correctly into the database.

what could be wrong?

I suspect what is happening is that the web page from icd9data.com is failing to load for you completely some of the time.  Try wrapping the $browser->get($url); in exception handling code and retry the get.

I came across your post while I was searching for similar information.  I noticed that in your post you are trying to load 2010 codes instead of 2011 codes.  I wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not but I figured it was worth mentioning to you.
