Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0

Over 'here' in "naughty" Bulgaria where I have the cheapest internet package available I found that LC 9.0 for Linux took 3 minutes to download . . . and that was absolutely fine. Ookla says that my download rate is 10.78 Mbps and my upload rate is 6.28 Mbps, which is super because I don't

Re: Guessing game

I guess I see your perspective. For me it’s totally the right and natural thing. It’s automatically reset at the end if the handler. Personally I’d go the other way and say that if the lock messages were set command calls trapped by anything above in the hierarchy should also not get executed. I

Re: Guessing game

Yes, for the purposes it was designed for (stopping the triggering of system messages) the "lock messages" command is very useful. The problem with getProp and setProp is that those triggers occur in response to *custom* properties, not system properties. As originally implemented (and as

great news for me thank you. on top of that I can run 1 of these services on each core listening to a different port. thanks for the links to the benchmarks. On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 3:12 PM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Tom Glod wrote: > > > What

Re: Guessing game

cREVGeneral is an example of where recursion would be a problem. In the common library there are getProp and setProp handlers that depend on lock messages. The handlers intercept the message and in some cases need to lock messages to get the system property before continuing (so a pass would not

AW: tsnet on Mac doesn't follows htaccess rewrite rule

FYI: As far, as a short test showed, LiveCode is sending two different user agents (if you don't overwrite the http headers). User agent: "LiveCode (Win32)" and "LiveCode (MacOS)". So probably I will be at least able to redirect my Windows requests to another host. Tiemo -Ursprüngliche

Hmm, thanks for the discussion. I see that it is not a straightforward issue, and I am probably forced to get my hands dirty in the world of Windows. I am aching for a very simple set of step-by-step instructions, but of course that is not the job of anyone on this list! BTW, I am also asking

commandine standalone using 100% of core on doing what?

Hi folks, I wanted to benchmark the httpd library and decided to create a command line server application. I run it using "-ui" command ... and I use the "on Startup" message to print out a welcome message" thats all I have so far. But my executable process is using up 100% of the core .

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0

It is true that you paid for a 190Mbit connection. Not all servers will be able to saturate that size of a pipe. The amount a service can pump out will be based on many factors like level of network activity at that moment, health of the hops between you and the server, general network traffic

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0

Hi Mark, I didn't think I was going to get it coming down in 20 seconds - only that what I have paid for and was getting for at least 3 months has gone down by from 190 to 40 MBits. It does mean though I can download from multiple sites at the same time without slowing down at the higher speed -

Re: [ANN] Release 9.0.0

Hi I downloaded it in about 2 minutes - at 40MBits/s download . Which prompted me to check the speed. When I upgraded and paid extra it was 190MBits/s, so they are cheating me - need to find time to phone the ~@"£$ up and listen to some Chamber Musaq Lagi On 3 April 2018 at 14:01,

Re: [OT, maybe] - configuring a Windows Installer for a Standalone

Just poking around, a manifest is like a config file for the app. As I mentioned, your installer maker solution may have a way to configure one. If not, apparently there are solutions that allow you to post process your executable to include one. Also worth considering, in the Windows tab of
