The Dreaded tsNet "Error Previous request not completed" iOS app

[Ralph DiMola]

J,

Thanks to you and Charles! I wonder what changed to start this? Was tsNet or
the mobile OSs not strict enough before and these errors were dropping on
the floor or is it a bug introduced by either tsNet or the mobile OSs?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I asked about the same thing a month ago. Here's the reply by Charles
Warwick:
<https://www.mail-archive.com/use-livecode@lists.runrev.com/msg113554.html>

The essence is:
"In order to fix this, you can use tsNet's asynchronous commands (e.g.
tsNetGet instead of tsNetGetSync, tsNetPost instead of tsNetPostSync, ...)
or libURL's "load URL" command.  The "load URL" command only support HTTP
GET requests which means that if you need to use other types of requests
(e.g. POST) then use the tsNet functions directly."

Rather than rewrite all my scripts I settled for a short wait between
requests.
