I'm having lockups when I try to pull an http page using wxURL. It gets stuck at GetInputStream but then appears to work fine after right clicking on the systray icon... I believe it may be the threads issues that are described on this page: http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxURL quote: "Under Windows, wxURL and wxThread may have problems to work well together. Be sure to construct the wxURL and call wxURL::GetInputStream inside the main thread." function get_games() local url = wx.wxURL("http://fly.thruhere.net/status/games.json") local stream = url:GetInputStream() -- freezes here -- frees up if you right click on the systray icon local size = stream:GetSize() local data = stream:Read(size) return data end

I don't get any delays running your code in MS Windows XP using wxlua.exe, wxluafreeze.exe, and wxluaedit.exe. They all get a size of 4 and the stream is: "{ } " Regards, John
which version are you running ? I could only find binaries for 2.8.7 but wxlua is up to 2.8.10... It still happens even when I comment out all other code...

You can download them here, note that 2.8.10 is in the middle since it sorts by name and not by when it was uploaded, apparently. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxlua/files/ > It still happens even when I comment out all other code... Weird, but definitely try the 2.8.10 since I remember some posts to the wxWidgets development list about changes to the socket code a while back and so your problem may be fixed. Regards, John
Works now thanks!
