It should just return the content without the chunk marker thingies.

I’m using an older version. But if you run this script in a card with two fields, you should see it is using "chunked" encoding. The returned data in field 2 has no chunk markers. Is that what you see with your version?

on mouseUp
   libURLSetLogField "field 1"
   put "http://www.lacscentre.com/chunkcheck/chunkcheck.php" into tUrl
   put url tUrl into field 2
end mouseUp

I don’t know of any way to force the remote server to not use chunked encoding. 

Can you see the pattern of the chunk markers in the data you are getting back? The markers should be on a separate line starting with a hexadecimal value indicating the chunk length, followed possibly by some semicolon delimited parameters, and then a CRLF line ending.
