As far as I know the code posted at RDS is the most recent and most bug
free.
I know for a fact I never used to have to specify the port (":80") at the
end of
an URL.  This baffles me completely.

Tcp4u is released under the LGPL license and the Euphoria wrapper (my part)
is released under the same license.
There is a text file called LGPL.TXT which contains all the details (which I
have not read completely!).
As far as I know you can use the library in your own commercial programs.
I quick look at LGPL.txt seems to say you need to make available object
files for your commercial programs so users canre-link the library if they
ever want to.  I don't know how this would be achieved with Euphoria.

If you gave paying users access to the source code you will have no
problems.
If you don't wan't to do this you will have to contact the author of Tcp4u
and
discuss a different license agreement.
