Thanks, Terry. That's a very useful overview of the state of things with RevOnline. I spoke with Ben about it at our last CM meeting, and he says he's having a team member look into the server-side issues soon (they may have already begun work on that now). That should help with the emails and other...

Thanks for posting that tutorial. There are tons of useful things we can do very securely once shared SSH keys are set up. Well done, very helpful for so many folks here.

@Mag: Thanks for filing the bug report, but it will be very helpful to the team if you could also test this on v6.7. 6.2.2 has already shipped, so of course it can't be enhanced. Any further work would go into a future version, such as v6.7 which is already in testing. 6.7 is especially useful for t...

@ shawnblc: The randomSeed property can be useful in cases where you want psuedorandomization across a repeatable series, but it not generally regarded as being able to increase the breadth of distribution for simulating true randomness. As Hermann suggested, the randseed setting the engine does at ...

Does "calling" mean uploading or downloading? If that latter, HTTP is very efficient.

I think I missed something: what changed, and in which version?

How does this behave in v6.7?

You could use as well custom properties, that would contain the name of the column and be used as a "flag" (to know for instance if the field must be "emptied" before to display another record) I've seen a few people use a similar flag in the object name, in which label fields (those not containing...

If memory serves, libUrlSetSSLVerification only affects libURL, so commands like "get", "put", and "load" will reflect the change to that property, but I believe the browser interface is separate. What is the nature of the issue with the certificate? Does the page load correctly in your mobile brows...

What would be needed to turn that info a handler the RunRev team could use as part of their automated build process?

It occurred to me that it might take longer to explain the language elements needed here than to just illustrate them in action, so I took a moment to write rough drafts of two handlers that may help. The first is used to produce the file that will be copied to the server, containing a list of modif...

Ah, thanks. I've not heard of anyone working with the CMIS standard in LiveCode, but hopefully we'll see someone drop in here who has. If it helps there are SOAP and JSON libraries for LiveCode: http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/405/LibSOAP http://www.rozek.mobi/LiveCode/JSONlib/index_scr_en.html

I'm not sure if this will have everything you're looking for, but Ralf Bitter's RevIgniter is an excellent web framework well worth exploring:

...LiveCode needs plug-ins to do really basic things, such as share on Facebook with the UI Activity View Controller on iOS. In my opinion, this kind of basic functions can't be delegated to third-party plug-ins. It would be nice indeed if LiveCode had built-in support for everything we might need,...

When we're lucky, imagination is always about two steps ahead of our current skills and experience. :) This is useful as it helps keep us motivated to learn, and if there's any consistency with software development over time it's that it involves continual learning. Client-server apps are tremendous...
