hi!
How can I do a http download without blocking the UI, using either wxeuphoria or win32lib (I prefer wxeuphoria, but wherever...)
I've tryed the "Asynchronous HTTP" in The Archive (http://www.rapideuphoria.com/http.zip) but it was designed to old "onEvent" win32lib. I've tryed to convert to current "setHandler()" but with no success, im not skilled enough..>
Can anyone more "euphoric" convert this lib? or point me a solution to download a http file without blocking the UI?
Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance

Look at news.ex (or whatever it's called now) in Eu v4.

I've decided to not move to euphoria 4 while it's in beta stage, maybe it's time to move now?
As win32lib have issues with Eu4, and I primarly use win32lib and wxeuphoria, I stayed with 3.11 by now...

Hello xfox26,
To download I use Urlmon.ew (in the Archives) .
It works fine for me. I don't know what you mean by 'blocking the UI'. What's the UI?
I never had any trouble with blocking anything when downloading.

My recommendation is to install wget.exe or curl.exe and then run that command via system() to download the url.
I think you can do system("start wget http://url.tld/page", 2) and it will start the command in the background while allowing your GUI to run.
