LiveCode Server HTTPS post through a proxy?

Hi all, not having a proxy to test with, I'd better ask. Has anyone done a POST to a HTTPS URL through a proxy from liveCode Server? Reason I am asking is that I need to POST some SOAP data from a revServer Instance to a Webservice. Any gotchas? All the best, Malte ___

I downloaded a passport application form today: http://centralcontent.fco.gov.uk/resources/en/pdf/central-content-pdfs/form-c1.pdf Now, as I am having a "printer crisis" at home, I decided to take the PDF document up to my school to print it, via a Flash drive. Hey-Ho; when I got to the schoo

Re: [OT] Mediocre Britain

Keith, Thanks for the info on "Wicked" problems and Compendium. What is "IBIS" in this context? I too am intrigued at the thought of applying LiveCode tools to such problems. Strengths of LiveCode that seem relevant include: rapid development, relative shallow learning curve for new users

Re: [OT] Software protection schemes

Reminds me of the time I developed a radio log scheduler in the old Excel using the function macros (remember them?) The whole thing worked because I was able to write macros that created other macros that built the log. It also depended on the end user leaving the template log sheet and the mac

Re: [OT] Mediocre Britain

In this context, IBIS = Issue-Based Information System. Compendium is a great general hypertext-based mapping tool - useful for building concept-maps and mind-maps - with the nifty feature of transclusion (define nodes once, use them often across the maps). It is used by many for dialogue-map

Good job! My guess would be the android OS and not Live Code. Sounds like a encoder/decoder issue. Personally, I am having a hell of a time deploying to android. I wrote a small app to test sounds and found out I could not deploy it properly, even though in another program I can deploy to and

Live LiveCode "other tools" topics

At the Live LiveCode meetings we don't always have a presenter, and it's a shame to miss a week here or there, so I've suggested doing some meetings on "other tools". That is, other authoring tools that a client might ask you if you know about, or they may ask you whether that other tool might b

I happen to agree. As a newbie to Live Code, I am not really qualified to lecture on it, but as a graphic, video and audio professional, I am fully qualified to talk about anything in those realms. I do own Franklin 3D and do have many 3D animation and modelling programs, so I could be of h
