Hi Carl, This is what I discovered. No matter what I do, if my script is run from outside my rebol dir, the script will not have any non-loopback interface connections. So if my directory is "c:\rebol\view" and my script is in "d:\scripts", it won't open the port except as loopback.
Here's something that I'm now trying to work out and I'll probably start a new topic for it later if I can't find an answer soon: I've been running the "5 page" Rebol webserver that is supposed to handle cgi, etc. but for some reason I can't get it to handle POST-ing forms; it'll handle GET just fine. I know my script works because I tested it with Aprelium(which I like but suspect it'll be overwhelmed when I start taking on 1000+ connections at a time), so I suspect that the webserv.r isn't passing the POST data along to the form action script. P.S. I just upgraded View to 2.6.0 and when I run it, it no longer opens the Desktop by default, is there a good way to change this?
