I did not know that. I thought all DNS was case insensitive not just the TLD. I never seen it to the contrary. The Unicode thing is scary though. It validates my surfing habits. I never use email links. If I get an email from say my bank I always type the URL into a browser or a verified bookmark

JB, Thanks for the comment. Yes, I went back to my previous use of “_” in the file name. All is working now. It was the difference between “l” and “L” in a file name. Sheesh! Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On Jun 25, 2020, at 2:27 PM, JB via use-livecode > wrote: >

I don’t think the underscore character “_” should cause any problems in the pathname but if you use a space in the name you need to be sure and enclose the pathname in quotes or it will fail. JB > On Jun 25, 2020, at 1:53 PM, Terry Judd via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 26/06/2020, 02:40, "use-

Folks: Thanks for you input. What I found out is that the iPhone cares very much about case in text, but running the app on my desktop didn’t care about case, so I had a mystery solved only by going down every blind alley until I finally found the offending code. It also seems, but I haven’t te
