 Ah, that would explain it.

libUrl should deal with this. It’s a fairly common transfer method. (Sorry,

Yes, the code is in there to deal with it.

I have seen similar problem when interacting with wordpress. There are
plug-ins that mess up the headers for the XML RPC requests. Livecode never
thinks it is done getting data because the content length header is not
accurate.  Seeing as this problem occurred after an upgrade on the server
the content size information seems like a possible a cause.
