Hello,

i have some problems with a stack which i update very often. The stack was created 4 or 5 years ago, maybe even some more years ago. The gets regular updates as my time allows.

In Standalone Settings i have set the option to manually select inclusions. I am working with LC 9.6.1, but tried also with 9.6.0 and 9.5.1 on Mac OS 10.14.6

1. I've added some code to call a url using  
put URL "https:......" into tInfo

This works in the IDE, but not in the standalone, although i have selected INTERNET and SSL&Encryption to be included in the standalone
In the standalone the URL is not fetched and tInfo always is empty. I tried also with http:// instead of https:// but also without success.
Tried with tsNet and without.

Trying this with a new stack works w/o problems.


2. Trying to use the remote debugger, regardless if  in a "real" standalone" or using the test button, does not work. The debugger is not initiated, although i have set red breakpoints and even used the Breakpoint keyword in the script and selected RemoteDebugger to be included in Standalone Settings.

Trying to use the Remote Debugger with a newer stack works w/o a problem.


Did anyone else ever ran into any of these problems with an older stack. Or does anyone have an idea what might cause this?

What i noticed is, that in the cRevGeneral Property Set of the stack there is a property stackfileversion with a value of 5.5.
But changing this or removing that property completely does not help either.


Regards,
Matthias
