Hmm. I thought you could still get URL "blah blah" on mobile and it would work. In fact, though the functionality differs slightly, you can use the load command on mobile too. Perhaps this would be useful? If you're using http urls, the only real difference in load between desktop and mobile, is that desktop caches. On mobile, you use the "with message" form and the contents of the load are sent as a parameter to the handling message. I don't think you need to worry about "unload" on mobile either. The nice thing about load is that, even if it takes a while for the load to complete, you don't lose functionality in your app while its waiting. Load is non-blocking. When it completes, the designated message fires, and you can deal with it.
It has been a while since I've used load on mobile though, so it might now cache, so, ymmv. Yep, just checked the dictionary for load, and it says this: The iOS and Android engines do not support 'libUrl' but allows you to use load in the background. So my guess is that load still does not cache, but even so, it may work well for your needs. On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 4:05 PM, J.
