Not a bug, but a less than clear bit of documentation, I think.
If you do a synchronous get (i.e., by specifying the optional integer
timeout parameter), then the method will return a value so you meed
to assign it to something. If you do not specify a folder item, then
the returned value is a string, and contains the contents of the
page. If, however, you do pass a folderitem AND the synchronous
timeout value, then it returns a boolean.
So, you can do it asynchronously:
h.get(url,f)
and handle the folderItem in the socket's dowmloadCompleted event, or
you can specify a synchronous get to be rturned as a string:
s = h.get(url,t)
or, you can pass both a folder item and a timeout, and assign to a
boolean
b = h.get(url,f,t)
(where h is the socket, s is a string, t is an integer, and b is a
boolean).

Okay this is weird
it says in the language ref that httpsocket.get can take three
parameters
url string, folderitem, integer
but when i use all three it says
requires fewer parameters than were passed
if i put
http.get (str)
it runs fine
but if i put
http.Get (str, fldritem, int)
it wont compile
it was working fine yesterday
now its all screwed and nothing has been changed
ive noticed this before where unchanged code will just stop working
freakin bug or sumthin
anyone have any idea?
i need the httpsocket to download to a file and use synchronous mode
