[Active4d-dev] CR's at end of HTTP response

[Steve Alex]

I'm trying to convert our last few web methods that are not in A4D and 
ran into a problem. A forms application we've used for years 
(InformedFiller/Desktop eForms from FileNet) uses HTTP to talk to 4D. 
You can do lookups, submits or auto-increments and use JavaScript to 
drive it.

I seemed to remember I had problems with auto-increment when you opened 
up a new form (e.g., next PO number). Setting the response to 
text/plain ended up to the standard two CR at end of response and that 
messed up the field. My solution was to send an html blob:

        TEXT TO BLOB($POnum;$htmlBlob;Text without length )
        SEND HTML BLOB($htmlBlob;".txt")
Since I can't  use those commands, I've tried to convert it to A4D, but 
everything I've tried in A4d sends the two CR's. (wrapper to put text 
in blob and then write($blob) or write blob($blob;".txt))

Any ideas on how to get rid of the CR? Guess I can just leave it alone 
(called with A4D_PreOnWebConnectionHook), but the purpose was not to 
have every request go through the hook.

For what it is worth, the OS X version of the forms package Desktop 
eForm is a piece of crap, but we have not found a replacement 
(scriptable paper form application with smarts). It should deal the 
with the CR's, but it does not.
