Q for Charles:
For me the convenience of being able to deliver a true standalone, with no externals or other components, is very useful on this project. I appreciate the new capabilities Charles is providing in v8.1, but for those projects where I only need simple GET and POST I'm hoping I'll be able to deliver true standalones that don't require that external - is that the case, Charles, or is libURL now fully dependent on the external?

The theory is that you can issue the following command while in the IDE:

dispatch "revUnloadLibrary" to stack "tsNetLibUrl"

Which will remove the dependency of tsNet from libUrl. From the moment you do that, libUrl will revert to its old behaviour and the external will not be included in standalones.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the current RC1 release that means this doesn't work.

I have been meaning to get around to working out why - hopefully I can do so in the next day or two and get this resolved before the final 8.1 release.


Back to the main issue, since I'm seeing good results thus far in my testing (thanks again, Charles) I've submitted an enhancement request to have the function Charles suggested be added to libURL for those who may need it:

Thanks for doing that.  If I get a moment, I will submit a PR for it.

Regards,

Charles
