RE: 2 versions of HTTPAPI on one system



Thanks for your response,

I saw the library hard-coded in the clsrc file in several programs and
wanted to make sure I could override them.

Thanks,

Hi Danny,

The current version of HTTPAPI can be installed in any library you want. 
  Just upload the code (or restore the SAVF) to a different library name 
instead of LIBHTTP.

When you run the INSTALL, it'll give you an option to choose the name of 
the library where it builds the objects.

Having said that -- I don't think it'd hurt anything to simply upgrade 
your copy in LIBHTTP.  HTTPAPI is backward compatible... which is to say 
that you can install the new copy without breaking existing code (or, at 
least that's the theory... I could, of course, have made a mistake 
somewhere)

Speaking for myself -- I only support one version of HTTPAPI.  The 
current one.
