LiveCode Forums

If you want to convert your apps to "web applications" you might consider LiveCode Server. I have looked into it briefly and working with it seems very similar to working with Ruby on Rails. If you have any familiarity with Rails it should be a fairly painless transition. Just FYI.

Are you aware that you should also send an Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip header to receive data fast and efficiently. Yes, I had read that in the documentation and was aware that I should include the header "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip". However, even my working version (where I made a GET requ...

Well, it looks like I am on the verge of learning something new. I thought that the ability to process a POST' was just "inherent" in servers; they were "programmed to handle that". So, I thought it was pretty much optional whether I submitted parameters via the query string or via POST. I now get t...

Thierry, thanks again for the example. I was able to successfully download data placing the API key in the custom header and the parameters on the query string (as you just did in your example). I have a method called "getViaQuery" to accomplish that. But I also tried submitting the parameters via a...

Thank you both, Thierry & MrCoolLion!!! A few comments: MrCoolLion: Thank you. It works perfectly (and you didn't even test it!). I will study it to make sure that I know how it works (I'm pretty sure I do). Just as a test of my understanding, I modified it to change the number of records returned. ...

I want to use LC and an api provided by CoinMarketCap-dot-com to fetch crypto coin data. I have successfully followed the LC tutorial found here (lessons dot livecode dot com /m/4071/l/1325310-how-to-request-a-resource-from-a-rest-api). (I'm limited in what I can post here.) So that simple api reque...

I have a LC project in which I display some images using the "launch" instruction. It works fine in the LC IDE but not in my standalone application on the same machine. I would explain more but after numerous attempts to correct this error on "preview" of this message: "You can’t post image, email o...

When I navigate to a web page I can usually enlarge the font with a key combination (shft-cmd-+ on Mac). The browser widget does not respond to that key combination. Is there a similar key combination that works with the browser widget?

Thanks for the reply.

You are right. It is not LC that hangs. It is the dialog. Cmd-c does close the dialog. That’s better. I have to actually quit LC to switch to a different project.

But, LC seems glitchy under Big Sur. I might decide to downgrade.

Thanks.

I just upgraded to Big Sur. Now when I "Close and Remove From Memory" LC hangs. I assume this is a bug.
