I don't know anything about HTTPS so can't help you there, but I do have a technique for non-blocking shell calls which might help. I have included my ping function below which uses the shell ping command with extra parameters that tell it to send the result to a file. Then I just have a loop that checks for that file and when it has arrived, reads the result that way. Pinging is instant when it works, but takes a long time to fail, so I find this trick works really well. Maybe you could do something similar. function checkPing pIP put specialFolderPath("Desktop") & "/ping.txt" into tFileName if there is a file tFileName then delete file tFileName put "ping -c1 -n " & pIP into tShellCmd put " > " & tFileName & " 2>&1 &" after tShellCmd get shell(tShellCmd) put 0 into timeCheck repeat 50 times add 1 to timeCheck wait 1 tick with messages if there is a file tFileName then put URL ("file:" & tFileName) into tRes if tRes is empty then next repeat -- file created but no result yet put wordOffset("loss", tRes) into tWord if tWord = 0 then next repeat -- file created but result not complete -- if there is a file tFileName then delete file tFileName put word tWord-2 of tRes into tPercent if tPercent = "0%" then return true else return false end if end repeat if there is a file tFileName then delete file tFileName return false end checkPing Cheers, Sarah _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
