Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

Hi Is there any way I can get Lc5.0.2 unlocked to Enterprise level just so I can get this ssl https revdb behind me so our clients don’t all go running before we upgrade the code to v9.x. I’m truly at a loss. Sean Cole Pi Digital > On 23 Oct 2020, at 05:48, Sean Cole (Pi) wrote: > >  > Hi

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

Yes. But have you seen how it has to get turned on. I have trouble enough with IT departments not wanting to install our software let alone ask them to go through the hassle of setting curl up on all of their clients desktops. This whole ssl https mySQL security thing came about because an IT Te

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

It’s not listed in LC5.0.2 dictionary so I arseumed it wasn’t implemented in that version. But I tried it. It made no difference at all. Either set to true or false. Even the call to put url https://google.com came back with error socket closed. Http works. Https does not. It is locked out to

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

Hi bill Even a call to https://google.com returns the same error. It’s https it does not like. As mentioned, in LC9 it works perfectly. LC5.0.2 won’t let me access https because LC locked out that for enterprise users only. So basically, I screwed! Again! Sean Cole Pi Digital > On 23 Oct 202

Re: Livecode Podcast Player

Maybe that’s what we can all contribute. Get assigned a section of the guide and rewrite it. Submit, revise and add to the guide. And rewrite a better built in guide viewer. One that is searchable at the very least. And doesn’t take an age to load each section. Sean Cole Pi Digital > On 21

Re: Livecode Podcast Player

I’m going to chime in, not to discredit anyone else or their comments, only to voice a reason I personally feel is far more needed and worthwhile. Before any of what has been suggested being carried out, as lovely as it all would be, getting the dictionary and the guide usable and accurate/up-t

Re: SQL Show Status

I was actually trying to look at the sslcypher tag. Wanted to see if it thought the server was enabled for it and if the certs would work. But there was no way of telling using revdb if the certs were wrong, if the server was set or anything. No one was able to tell me how to find out and was ju
