Thank you. From now on, use files with wildcards, which is much easier, and use that example in a program.

Webmite
WEB TCP CLIENT REQUEST is not always saving the last packet.

The following code
WEB OPEN TCP CLIENT "api.openweathermap.org",80
WEB TCP CLIENT REQUEST b$,m%(),10000
PAUSE 200
WEB CLOSE TCP CLIENT
PRINT "Length is ";LLEN(m%())
LONGSTRING PRINT  m%()


will return a short string if the "pause 200" delay is not used before closing the stream.

It doesn't seem to matter if the reply is 2 or 20 packets long. It doesn't matter if I am retrieving from my local network or across the WWW. The same 200mS delay is needed.

Replies that fit into one packet don't need the delay before closing.

Forgot to mention some time ago. The VGA version can now optionally use different pins

OPTION VGA PINS HSYNCpin, BLUEpin
The command changes the pins used for VGA display output allowing more flexibility in PCB design or wiring. “HSYNCpin” defines the start of a pair of contiguous GP numbered pins that are connected to HSYNC and VSYNC
“BLUEpin” defines the start of four contiguous GP numbered pins that are connected to BLUE, GREEN_LSB, GREEN_MSB, and RED.

Yes!
That seems to have fixed it. 2k and 20k replies are returned in full without any need for a delay.

Thanks.
