libUrl documentation and download

[Dave Cragg]

Hi

Until the RunRev site has the libUrl documentation back up again, you 
can view it here:

<http://www.lacscentre.co.uk/liburl/>

You can also get an updater for the latest version (1.1.1 or 1.0.16) 
there as well. (Note that the previously announced betas of these 
versions introduced a bug that might affect POST commands to some http 
servers. So anyone using those betas should probably upgrade.)

The updater is semi-intelligent in that it will install the appropriate 
version for the engine you currently have installed. But if you later 
swap engines, and keep the same mctools.mc stack, you may end up with 
the wrong version. So it's probably best to keep the updater around, 
and run it again if you ever swap engines.

As discussed before, I was thinking about a more intelligent version 
that would keep two library stacks in custom properties, and load the 
appropriate one with a libraryStack handler. But I'm currently against 
the idea for two reasons;

1.  It makes accessing/editing the script more difficult for 
developers, and I really want people to access the scripts and fix 
problems they find.

2.  It's quite possible that future versions of libUrl will introduce 
more new syntax from newer engines, and therefore we'll need an even 
smarter (thus bug-prone) loading system.

But as always, I'm open to opinions.

Cheers
Dave

PS  I just made a late booking for EuroRevCon, so looking forward to 
meeting those of you who'll be there.
