Just an update, the httpd library works on mobile. The httpd library I’m mentioning here is the one bundled with LiveCode. I think Malte built it, it is very similar to the one I built in the past but I am sure it is a bit smarter.
I’ve created a demo stack at: https://andregarzia.com/files/mobile-web-server-test.livecode.gz <https://andregarzia.com/files/mobile-web-server-test.livecode.gz> that I tested on Android (on a real device) and on the iPhone Simulator on my macOS, both worked. Apparently there is a bug in the 9.6.3-rc-2. If you set “allow http connections” on Android, it fails to build the app. I had to go to the custom properties editor to delete that prop manually because I couldn’t edit it on the standalone application settings after first trying to use it. Hope this helps Bernard. > On 25 Jul 2021, at 22:30, Andre Garzia <an...@andregarzia.com> wrote: > > I love when you folks call me a young man :-) I’ve been 41 for a while now > and no one asks for my ID when I buy a beer anymore. > > Well, back on topic, is there something wrong with the HTTPD library that > LiveCode ships right now?
