I never thought he was taunting me or anyone else. I thought he was being flippant and dismissive. Hardly better than taunting, but not taunting per se.
If my intent was to say “Bugger off and write your own” I’d have said so.
But that is NOT what I said.
I merely stated that IF a person needs a protocol like FTP, HTTP 1.1, etc implemented and we haven’t done so yet or haven’t updated ours to support whatever protocol you need then it IS possible for someone to create it.
Nothing more - nothing less.
And yes some protocols are decidedly difficult to implement.
I particularly loathe SMTP/POP with all the non-standard servers present on the internet.
There already is an HTTP 1.1 socket class available…for years now. I wrote it. its free to use as well 
Don’t know Why this thread was resurrected.
While I don’t know web stuff, but it go me curious enough to google…
According to Wikipedia:
Which I would think would be very important for the WE and for many uses … Wikipedia also says:
So it is is in common use and the standard has existed for over ****14 **** years…
Given all that why is it not in Xojo already?

It got resurrected because dark pixel had been looking for http 1.1 availability as apis are denying requests made from xojos httpsocket class. Http 1.0 has been obsolete for almost all of those 14 years and most API services are now requiring HTTP1.1 (like fbook… which is why I’m the only known developer to create fbook api classes) the classes I wrote also implement resume downloads and all the 1.1 features perhaps I should send to norm or someone with the proposal giving up all rights to the code just so it can be looked over and the httpsocket class in the studio updated to reflect 1.1 protocol? (Even not using the classes directly. …it’s always good to have a “starting reference” to work with.
[quote=36640:@Rick Araujo]It’s done. I already offered it ready to Xojo, few posts above.
It’s landed on Xojo’s lap, we don’t need more efforts transferred to the user’s responsibility.[/quote]
Do you sell these components? any way to get them?
It looks like Xojo recently added HTTP/1.1 support to the new framework.
Rather than upgrade to the new framework or pay for a plugin I’ve written an open-source Realbasic/Xojo wrapper for libcurl. It has excellent support for HTTP/1.1 and even experimental support for HTTP/2.0.
