Jacque, GET and POST are perfectly supported on both iOS and Android. If you send them to an LC server script (connected to the DB in localhost mode), you will no more have to compose with any latency anymore.
working example : on the iOS/Android mobile client app side : set the socketTimeoutInterval to 60000 set httpHeaders to "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & return post URLEncode(gAppVars["MobileAppID"] & "=" & hexDigest("publicmclt") & "&" & prevSession & "&stock_decrement=-1") to URL MIAS put it into tResponse on the server side, each DB opened connexion (PostgreSQL 8.4 on Pancake in my case) need to be closed before the request is returned to the mobile app. This kind of procedure respond in just some ticks (+ network latency itself witch is < 100-300 ms from pancake witch is, in my case, hosted at less than 600 miles from my office) Pierre > Le 21 mars 2015 à 20:01, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> a écrit : > > Ralph DiMola wrote: > > > Richard Gaskin wrote: > > > >>How does LC connect to the database socket on platforms where it > >> provides no socket support? > > > > Magic. > > I'm intrigued.
