Sure, tested the tsNet Indy version (using LC server Indy) too, there is no “external: unlicensed (tsNet)” error. Copied the .so file to the externals folder, all .lc files are in /var/www/html/. Ralf > On 2. Jun 2017, at 23:01, Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode >

Simply a creative contribution to this thread: Here are direct links. Worth waiting for loading, it's faster than you expect. (Also loading times has been essentially improved with my tests). [EU] http://hyperhh.org/html5/LCImageToolboxHTML5-9.0.0-dp-4hhX.html [US]

Hi Ralf, did you try the tsNet external for Indy, also? Btw: How did you install tsNet external. Where did you place the .so and the .livecodescriptfile? Regards, Matthias Matthias Rebbe +49 5741 31 ‌matthiasrebbe.eu ‌ > Am 29.05.2017 um 18:29 schrieb Ralf

Anyway, I really appreciate how easy it is to get at any of you and how much you're paying attention to the pulse out here. The sharing of thinking/philosophy is really important because that flavor matters when we are planning to build something. On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 10:30 AM, Mike Kerner

We really should start to split this thread into branches, for example [A] HTML5 deployment and "do as javascript" as already implemented [B] HTML5 deployment and using widgets (not the browser widget) [C] HTML5 in LC Builder (and the browser widget, javascript via FFI) [D] LC Builder:
