Retrieving network operation results with Lingo
Lingo can retrieve network operation results, such as a text result, a unique identifier for a network operation, a file's MIME type, and the date an HTTP item was last modified.
A returned network ID is for the network operation whose results are being retrieved.
To retrieve the text result of a network operation:
Use the netTextResult()
function. See netTextResult()
.
To retrieve the "date last modified" string from the HTTP header for a specific item:
Use the netLastModDate()
function. See netLastModDate()
.
To obtain the MIME type of the HTTP item:
Use the netMIME()
function. See netMIME()
.
To conserve memory, Director discards the results of the netTextResult()
, netDone()
, netError()
, netMIME()
, and netLastModDate()
functions within a short time after the operation completes successfully.

To determine the state of a network operation that retrieves data:
Use the getStreamStatus()
function or the on streamStatus
event handler. See getStreamStatus()
or on streamStatus
.
