SpiderBasic

- Added: HTTPInfo() to get more info when using HTTPRequest()
- Added: HTTPTimeout() to control the timeout of HTTPRequest()



Thanks for implementing these! :) I'd just started building a Web UI for a headless backend service (RESTful APis) using another tool, but now I think that I have all ...

Salut Fred,

Can you tell us whether this feature will be included in a 3.0.x release? I'm now at the stage where I have to decide on using something else for an admin app I wanted to make in SB. But it needs full access to HTTP verbs, headers, status codes as the service is REST based.

Not ...

For a brief while in the 90s I coded in SQLWindows 4 then 5 (and SQLBase) at an investment bank in Paris. Loved that outliner environment. Went to the launch event of 5.0 in London (or maybe it was launched elsewhere and had a London event too, I forget)

A few years ago I reached out to one of ...

Thanks.

Also sorry, I appear to have started this thread in the wrong forum!

An extra error line on my other Linux laptop, also running latest Zorin 17.1 (Ubuntu 22.04)

Peter - thanks for that, I'll look into it to see whether it plugs the gap.

Fred - thank you, that would be fantastic.

Hi Fred, just to report that on Zorin 17.1 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04, I have this issue:

$ ./launch.sh

Salut Fred,

Please could you add HttpInfo() to SB, as exists in PB? It's absence means I cannot use SB with many of the REST APIs that I use, as processing of the status code is critical in most of these scenarios. eg an API may well send back a 200 for a resource being successfully manipulated ...

BTW Fred, if I may make a small suggestion? I'd replace the default city skyline graphic on the main website with a cutout of the IDE with both the SB code and WebView showing - this would help somebody who landed on the site have some idea as to what this looks like/is (same for the PB site I'd say ...

Wow. I had no idea that SpiderBasic had evolved so much this year. I just dropped in now on a whim, saw the 3.00 announcement and downloaded it. What a HUGE step forward. I've not written any SB web apps in several years, but I think it's now time to brush up my spider senses and have another go ...
