'put URL' fails if previous 'put URL' call hasn't finished

[Trevor DeVore]

Hi,

I have been doing some tests with web connected apps in Revolution and 
came across an interesting behavior with the put URL command.

It seems that if you call 'put URL' once and then issue another 'put 
URL' command before  the first one finishes then the second one will 
not complete but return empty immediately, allowing the second one to 
finish.  I came across this in the following scenario:

1) Option menu calls handler which calls 'put URL'
2) Handler called from the option menu in turn calls another handler 
that uses 'put URL' after a slight delay (using send command).
3) If the second handler hasn't finished downloading the requested data 
and the user makes another selection from the option menu then the 'put 
URL' handler called from the option menu will return empty immediately.

Is there any way around this (i.e. cancel previous put statement) or do 
I just need to modify the interface so that this collision of put 
statements never occurrs?

Thanks,
