Are you sure it's about being offline? Because I got a report with RNOXfer that it doesn't work at all with AmiTCP/IP 3.x even if it'd be online. AmiTCP/IP 4.x and other newer stacks do work, so some component probably requires new enough bsdsocket.library or so. Is it hURL itself or AmiSSL or something else, I don't know.

I tested it in WinUAE and on my real Amiga. In Both cases, if you are not online this Error comes up and Program terminates and if your are online you can start the Program and use the Downloadfile-Function for example.

I use EasyNet for Internet-/Network-Connection and that was bundled with AmiTCP3.x and 4.0+ seems to be commercial.

I'm also getting this error when running IvoRSS (HollywoodPlayer window) in my recently installed MOS 3.18 Mac Mini. It works in my PowerBook. And it doesn't matter if it is online (I'm writing this on the Mac Mini).

Forgot to mention, HW 10 and hURL 2.0

Thanks for the report, I'll check what's causing this.

AmiSSL seems to require bsdsocket V4: https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic ... #msg858415

"So if you installed version 3 of AmiTCP, you also have version 3 of bsdsocket.library which is too old for AmiSSL. You have to install AmiTCP V4 or Genesis or Miami or Roadshow instead."

Ok, this could explain the problem but I'm wondering why Fingus reported that the problem exists on WinUAE as well. WinUAE should have a v4 bsdsocket.library...

Go offline, start Winuae, test again

Ok, right, with no Internet connection WinUAE won't install bsdsocket.library at all. At startup hURL will try to initialize AmiSSL and that will fail if it can't open bsdsocket.library so I think it is normal behaviour. Without an internet connection hURL can't work. To make it work without bsdsocket.library curl initialization would have to be postponed and every single method in hURL would need to check if curl has been initialized or not which is a lot of work. Don't think that is worth the effort.

BTW. now I remember that I don't @REQUIRE the hURL plugin in most of my programs, I just load it later or on-demand with LoadPlugin() and handle errors if that fails (#ERR_PLUGINDOUBLET too). In this way programs can work without a (online) TCP/IP stack.
