Oh, that's a bit worrying .... I'm just starting a project that will use
httpd, and it might in the medium term need to receive large data sets.
But for now, similar to this case of yours for "serving" files, it only
needs to send large data sets, and I have tested that pretty thoroughly
already so I'm comfortable it'll do that just fine.

Hi Alex, yes that would definitely be a great option for a high performance
solution that would work well in the background.
I did tests on such a solution a while back (for a similar task), but found
that the httpd library was not able to receive large pieces of binary
data. It worked beautiful with small chunks.
So I don't know if it was me, if it was a missing feature in the library,
but I will be investigating it again soon enough.
Thanks for the reminder

OK, here's a "really out there" suggestion ....
1. Run a local web server to serve files (locally only).
Can be done various ways, including (easily) via LC and the httpd
library,
(build that server as a standalone and have it running -
started from your app if need be...)
2. in your stack, just do
load url ("http://localhost:8080/myfilename";) with message "mycallback"
and handle the file once it has been read in the "mycallback" handler

Hey folks,
I'm having trouble finding a combination of settings that allows my file
loading to seem to happen in the background.
repeat while read_result is not "eof"
read from file ThisFile for (1024 * 1000) bytes
put the result into read_result
put it after IntoThisVariable
add length(it) to amount_read
TSTProgress amount_read,ExpectedSize,"%","Loading File ..."
(Progress Indicator Handler)
wait 10 milliseconds with messages
end repeat
no matter what I try, its still sluggish, and it seems like messages are
still accumilating instead of being processed by the engine.
Am I missing something? Normally waiting with messages sufficiently
frees
the engine to allow the UI to remain responsive.
Thanks,
Tom
