Actually, I did post to this list back on November 5th (titled "POST
Question") when I first discovered the problem, but didn't get anything
back that would suggest that the problem is with libURL. I then started
tinkering as best as a novice could, thinking I was doing something
wrong, and that clearly gobbled up lots of time.
Since the problem won't be fixed this release, I'm faced with a bit
of a dilemma since I have a large project already started in 2.4.1, and
it doesn't seem to make sense spending valuable time learning about
hacking libURL or the undocumented intricacies of socket scripting in MC
when I have to produce project content and research. I suppose I could
create an Internet component as a separate application written in 2.3.
But don't get me wrong: I'm not ticked off; I guess I'm expressing the
distinction between those who've adopted MC as a valuable tool for their
own professions (in my case, financial economics) and those who are
full-time programmers. And while I want to learn as much as possible
about MC, time forces me to do it as part of my experience as the former
and not the latter.
Regards,
Greg
