The 'test' button is handy - but it's not the only way.
In fact, I rarely use it - I build my standalones, then try it out on 2
or 3 platforms (OK, this may be very untypical, because I am just
starting to play with mobile and html5 ... but I suspect it will
continue to be a viable work-flow - if only because of frequent
interruptions, etc.) So I would hope to be able to run the server, and
then make multiple tests with a single standalone.
You said "[HTTPd library] ... now that we have one included in the IDE
we ...". So is it the intention that this library is only available in
the IDE, and won't be available for inclusion in a standalone, or for
use from LCServer ? (I can't see it in the list of inclusions in the
SB, unlike diff, getopt, etc. - though that list is getting long enough
that scrolling through it to see if something is there or not is
becoming inexact).

This will let you access your standalone by opening your web browser and visiting
http://localhost:8080 <http://localhost:8080/>.
What ? IMO, this is just plain "wrong".
I think there’s a couple of things here. The scope of the original HTML5
implementation did not include writing a HTTP server in LCS. It was before my
time at the company but I believe a significant proportion of the project was
Peter’s first thing he did in LC and he probably wasn’t aware of the fact
there’s a few HTTPd implementations around the community. Anyway, now that we
have one included in the IDE we definitely want to implement a deploy library
so that you just need to click the Test button and it will pop up in your
browser. Bonus points for being able to add extra browsers so you can choose a
target.
I create a report about this a while back
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19909
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19909>
Anyway, this could either be contributed by someone in the community or done in
house when we get a chance.

Monte
