I'd like to get some experience with libURL; but I'm one of those newbie
types who's using Revolution. If I can work out where to download it from,
should it in principle be possible to use libURL from Revolution 1.0 (which
of course is based on the 2.3.2 MetaCard engine)? Are there any special
things I should do or watch out for?
If that's not going to work, can I ask a couple of questions about http
headers - both for the request and response.
Q1: As I understand it, in MC 2.3.2 you can customise the header of a
request to some extent, by specifying additional text in the httpHeaders
property. But I've read a message from andu (17/7/01) in which he said:
> No need for httpHeaders (obsolete for now) since the library
> implements a full header on its own.
Surely there needs to be some way to specify additional headers - you can't
predict what developers are going to use this for. (For example, they may
need to pass authorisation through; some servers may need a "host" header;
an app might want to specify a referrer, or a user-agent identity, etc....)
Is there a way to customise the request header for an http request in
libURL? If not could there be, please?
Q2: AFAIK, there is no way in MC 2.3.2 (ie in current Rev) to access the
header of an http response. At least, I asked a couple of times on the Rev
list, and nobody ever replied. I find this really restrictive - does libURL
give a better solution to this? If not, could it, please?
