I originally, accidently posted this to TiddlyWeb forum...obviously it
should be here -

Hi All

In the interest of keeping things light on the loading side (and
minimize duplication in the myriads of TW that keep populating my
laptop) I often use MasterIncludesPlugin so that the plugins are all
stored in a sepearte file.....very handy when working locally.

When I try this from my server......its does not work. I have just
found that even when the MasterIncludesPlugin scheme is used in from a
Dropbox file..... when I open a TW as a local file in my Dropbox...it
opens up fine. When I open the same file using its URL (in this case
its in the Public dropbox folder)........ blanck page!!!!!!

When I open it using its URL, and with Firebug activated what I get is
an error in the MasterIncludePlugin.js file (which is supposed to be
loading the plugins) -

the error message is "     getXMLHttpRequest is not defined ", and the
line 126
"var XHR = getXMLHttpRequest();"

Anyone with good javascript able to tell me whats happening...and more
importantly how to fix it?

Its rather frustrating...MasterIncludes is a great Plugin...but only
works locally!!!!

Thanks
Skye

I believe this issue should be discussed on [twdev].

Looking at that ancient code of mine, I'm of course[1] rather
embarrassed. While I no longer maintain MIP, anyone is welcome to
patch
it or take over maintainership.

Looks like the `getRemoteData` function needs to be rewritten - though
that would mean making it asynchronous, which could have big
implications...

So now the question is....Is anyone interested to look into this
question.

I find MasterIncludes very handy. For example in my courses, the
"information sheets" are individual TWs using the same format and,
more importantly the same plugins.....so in Dropbox I can have one
copy of the pluginins and then dozens of eficient TWs full of
data...that pull in the plugins from MasterIncludes.........saves
duplicating all those plugins dozens and dozens of times.......

When done through Dropbox all this works superbly.... but I sometimes
want to put those information sheet on my server....and now
masterIncludes doesn´t work....so I have to have the plugins
duplocated on my server inside every TW...and obviously the TWS get
bigger and slower to open up...over http......

SO.....its a great Plugin !!! Anyone with energy to help is work over
http as well???

Thanks in advance
Skye
