Functions running in IDE, but not running in standalone

Thu Jul 23 17:16:59 EDT 2020

Matthias,

Thanks so much for all of your advice. 

I actually added tsNet as an inclusion very recently when Curry mentioned it, thinking it might help. I have eliminated it from my last version. Its use and its non-use did not change anything.

At this point the only things that seem to be creating my issues are the libURL commands/functions that I am using: libURLLastHTTPHeaders, libURLLastRHHeaders, and libURLSetSSLVerification. So I am going to slowly go back through all of my scripts, and one-by-one eliminate their usage to see what happens. I will report back what I find.

Regards,

Bruce
