OK for the HttpTimeout() function, will reduce the number of optional param for HttpRequest() which is already big.

Maybe the command could be named differently? Such as HTTPRequestE. Adding 'E' to the end, to show it is the Enhanced command, for instance?

Timeout in B9 is not only used in HTTPRequest() but also in ReceiveHTTPFile(), ReceiveHTTPMemory(), HTTPRequestMemory()
(see statusbar when click on one of them)
So HttpTimeout(<value>) will work for all and need only one command.

In my version I simply added the Timeout parameter as last optional parameter.
So no change to available code is needed. Only if you need the parameter.
You can use #Null for Header() map if not used.

My original idea was to use HttpTimeout to set and change as needed.

What about having both a HttpTimeout function and an optional parameter at the end of the HttpRequests? That provides maximum flexibility without breaking code.

DesktopWidth() and DesktopHeight() are returning 1920x1080 even though I am running 4K. Ubuntu 20.04.

Really happy to see all this hard work on Pure Basic. Thank you!

Beta 10 is available, with some more some improvements:

Thank you very much, Fred! I appreciate the promptness.

Thank you Fred and the team for all the hard work.
I hope we are approaching the final version with the changelog shrinking.

Is it possible to automatically add the C compiler in the settings, instead of adding it manually at each beta ?

Just out of curiosity: How does HTTPTimeout work with threads? Separate values or one value? Also, does it return the previous timeout?

It's one value for the whole app, not per thread. It doesn't return the previous timeout.

It is necessary to write about in help.
And for other functions that do not support multithreading, you also need to write in help. To let people know what can't be used in multiple threads.

@Fred: Maybe it's a good idea to get the previous timeout as return value, or by passing special value (like 0 for default and -1 for getting the now set value).

Good idea to get the current timeout. Maybe the same function but with a constant that tells the function to return a timeout value rather than set one. CurrentTimeOut = HTTPTimeout(#Pb_Any) or another constant? Or another function? HTTPGetTimeout() ?

isnt that easy to "remember" using a global variable ?

i.e

global httptimeoutvalue.l

httptimeoutvalue =100
HttpTimeout(httptimeoutvalue)


httptimeoutvalue =500
HttpTimeout(httptimeoutvalue)
