BYOND Version: 341.877

Operating System: Windows XP

Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox 2

Detailed Problem Description:
When trying to use world.Export() with an address beginning with "https:" produces the following error:

"Invalid network address in transmission "

Yet, the page in question is viewable in the DS browser.

Does this have to do with the difference between GET and POST methods, or is it a bug?

I'm not too familiar with the exact limitations of world.Export, so please excuse me if this is not a bug, and please transfer this to the feature request forum. ;)

Thanks much,
Joshua Trim

Mike H	world.Export() currently only supports the http:// (GET method only) and byond:// protocols. Unfortunately, adding https:// support is not an easy task.

Koshigia	Ah. I won't trouble you with asking why. I'm capable of researching it myself. What are the chances of it being implemented?
