[wxlua-users] wxURL locking on GetInputStream()

[Daniel A. <mr....@gm...>]

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
