LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?

I believe that LiveCodeServer includes a version of LibCurl and it looks likley to be the cause of the problem. I only have the latest RC version of LiveCode to hand so it may be worth trying my test script out of the version you are running.

I ran this script with LiveCodeServer:

#Start Code
#!livecode                   

set the outputLineEndings to "lf"

put the Version & return

put "http:" && the number of words of URL "http://bbc.co.uk"
put return 

put "https:" && the number of words of URL "https://github.com"
put return
#End Code

and got this:

#Start Output
7.0.1-rc-4
http: 4407
https: 0
#End Output

I then ran the same code modified to run in the message box:

#Start Code
put the Version & return into tTemp

put "http:" && the number of words of URL "http://bbc.co.uk" after tTemp
put return after tTemp

put "https:" && the number of words of URL "https://github.com" after tTemp
put return after tTemp

put tTemp
#End Code

and got this:

#Start Output
7.0.1-rc-4
http: 4407
https: 1068
#End Output

If you can confirm this I will file a bug report.
