No, nothing has changed. The Dictionary entry for textEncode and textDecode still contains this note:
It is highly recommended that any time you interface with things outside LiveCode (files, network sockets, processes, etc) that you explicitly textEncode any text you send outside LiveCode and textDecode all text received into LiveCode. If this doesnt happen, a platform-dependent encoding will be used (which normally does not support Unicode text). Of course, the URL you use today might work fine without textDecode, but another URL and another day you might not be so lucky. put textDecode(URL "http://www.some/service/endpoint","UTF8") into tVariable is still only a single line of code and I very much doubt that you will notice the extra cpu cycles. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
