Charles, first… let me congratulate you for getting this into LiveCode
As it turns out, I was experiencing the infamous silent network API blocking
when there is a failed network call… I think there is an error reporting bug
somewhere as I believe in earlier versions a script error would be trigger with
some expression like
"last connection incomplete…." I don't remember the exact wording, I know I did
see it the other day..but as long as this state persists, no further libURL
commands will work.
I must have run one test in the msg box with a bad password, I had a password
with !! in it and I believe those need to be urlEncoded first before passing to
the url string.
So, after that silent failure, (socket still open but broken?) the network API
was "stuck" and subsequent tests all failed… after rebooting this morning,
everything is working.
I swear I saw that old error message the other day… but today looking through
all 893 lines of the scriptExecutionErrors I can' find it.
I think the old method to clean up was to issue a close all sockets command or
something, but it's vague… I haven't played with this for years since we turned
off FTP on our servers.
Thanks for your examples. When I get time to wrap my head around it… I will see
if I can contribute to the dictionary. Still not sure how to go about that.
If you can advise on the method to clean up the network interface after
failures, that would be great.

hmmm... that should work and does here.
