Re: Microsoft is acquiring GitHub

All data is stored in Germany and Romania only (AFAIK).

Re: Microsoft is acquiring GitHub

I know I'm a bit late in this discussion, but for those who still would like to trade GitHub for something else I would like to share my experience with the Git hosting service https://www.rocketgit.com .

It has all what I was looking for. A very fast service, servers in the EU (Germany) and a no ...

Re: PowerBasic Kaput?

The issue here is making a site GPRD compliant is not an easy task, and while the law was in the work 2 years ago they only voted it 2 months ago very quickly, taking everybody by surprise. It should have come with a grace period or something.

Same for Instapaper:

Re: Same HTTPRequest function as in SpiderBasic

I'm aware of that one, but it's limited to GET operations. I need more than that, like HTTPS (SSL), headers and body (POST/PUT/PATCH).

See the SpiderBasic docs:

Same HTTPRequest function as in SpiderBasic

SpiderBasic has a nice abstracted HTTP(s) request function HTTPRequest which I like to see in PureBasic also. This will make creating web service clients a bit more easier and less error-prone.

NB: With some manual work, and including a CURL lib, you may achieve the same, but that route should not ...

Re: Why I had to stop using PureBasic

I never ever had any virus. Never. Or you have one (sleeping) but you don't know you have one... :)

Maybe PB could add an option that PowerBasic has: “BLOAT”. It increases the exe size with dummy data. Easy to do: IncludeBinay() with big image (used as splashscreen) 8)

we are in the process to ...

Re: Why I had to stop using PureBasic

It’s true that some dumb AV software look at the size of an EXE, and assume that very small ones might be dangerous.

Re: Why I had to stop using PureBasic

Since Windows Vista, which introduced UAC and much stronger security, I permanently stopped using AV because they’re the real viruses. I never ever had any virus. Never.

Rule is of course that you use common sense and make use of the security options an OS provides you:

1) Keep UAC on. It helps ...

Re: Does PB support HTTPS or not?

No,

they don't use an external lib :!:
The additional file only enables access to the low level functions of the inbuild lib. :wink:

Not exactly what I asked, but it works ;)

Thanks for pointing to this; I was afraid that I had to use third-party libs, which I don't want. But this seems a safe ...

Does PB support HTTPS or not?

Hi,

In the interview of 2015 I read that Fred responds to question 55:

“Fred: HTTP lib already support HTTPS. About FTP, I don't know I need to take a look but it's a good idea.”

I’m confused as I thought this isn’t possible.

So, if it’s possible, can someone provide me with a small example of ...

Margin nodes ExplorerTreeGadget

I'm exploring the ExplorerTreeGadget and am using the example GadgetSplitterAdvanced.pb.

What I'm seeing here that there's no margin around the tree nodes (icons). Can this be done?

Re: HTML email body

Are there any other, more simpler, solutions that you know of? I only need a way to just replace the "plain text" (mime) type of body with HTML.

SetMailBody: support for HTML and Plain Text

Currently only a plain text part can be added as a e-mail body.

Please add a possibility to add a HTML body, but also allow a combination of both.

Is it possible to use a HTML email body for SendMail()? I've looked at examples and searched, but couldn't find it.
