Thank you for the response, Narinda. Any suggestions on where I would find that binary, and also how I would then get a php file (with cURL functions) to execute from inside the listener (OWC) without using PHP Execute?
In other words, how to bypass using 4D’s php interpreter and use the one exterior to 4D?
