open secure socket... using certificate

According to the Dictionary in LC 9.5.1 there is this command: open secure socket [from [localHostName][:localPort]] [to] socketID [with message callbackMessage] [without verification] *[using certificate certificate and key key]* However I can't get it to work. open secure socket to

Re: opened socket in IDE prevents script changes

Hi Bernd Thanks for the suggestion. But I think the evidence points away from this. One thing I've done is - change the script (could be just addition of a comment) - copy entire script - apply & close - re-open script editor --> *change is missing* - close IDE - re-open LC - open stack script

Re: opened socket in IDE prevents script changes

I'm seeing exactly the same range of behaviours I described earlier for 9.5.1 on Win 10 but with 9.6.1 on OS X. It's very strange that Alex is also editing scripts with sockets opened/closed but not losing changes made in the script editor. I also had 3 crashes on OS X within 30 minutes of

Re: opened socket in IDE prevents script changes

"do i understand it correctly that both, server and client stack, can communicate with each other using sockets in one instance of the LC IDE" Your understanding is correct. On the other project (where I didn't have this current problem) I had half a dozen clients and 1 "server" running in the

Re: opened socket in IDE prevents script changes

Thanks Alex for your quick response. I'll try with 9.6.1 on Mac. The only other difference between us is that my sockets are interacting with a process outside of LC. But I can't see why that would make a difference (particularly once I've closed all sockets, I wouldn't expect sockets to

This is a strange phenomenon.I wonder if anyone else has seen this. Livecode 9.5.1 Windows 10. If a socket is opened then changes to scripts in the IDE are not applied/saved. There's no error message. It *appears* from the IDE that the changes are applied (i.e. the changes are visible in the
