Hello everyone, saldations to all!
Well, I am new to the forum, so I apologize if there is already a topic talking about it.
I started to become familiar with bgt at the end of last year and I'm using it intensively to create interesting things that are not necessarily games yet, but some useful utilities mainly with audio interfaces that is what can be done better And more easily with it.
I can post other topics with more detail about this if someone is interested to make your contribution.
During my studies and practices, I realized that it is not possible to access pages and sites that use the https protocol, as is the case of this site. BGT hangs and a system error message appears saying that the program has stopped working etc etc.
I assume you should have noticed this already and would like to hear from you to see if there are any other alternatives that can solve this problem.
I thought about using Wget along with bgt, but my question is about sending information via post as is done with the http object. In fact, I think it would be a
good solution.
But will wget work in background mode?
I've tried some command line applications and ffplay for example does not work in background mode when run by the run () function.
What do you think?
Regards

You could make a wget executable that uses the --background flag. Also there's curl. I'd imagine some DLL's exist for this, but I haven't come across any.

@cartertemm
Thanks, I did not know wget had this parameter. I'm going to do some experiments here.

Hi.
I found out, from working with https, that when you wan't to call an url using https you can just call http.
Like if you would need to call https://google.com just call http://google.com
That works.

The problem is that this does not work for some websites. If you try to switch from https to http, some use redirection and the address returns to https...
