POST messages sometimes blocked - Rick Johnson - 01-27-2022
I know this probably can't be fixed in code, but I hope other CORE developers can share some of their experiences in dealing with this.
The internetPOST class works great, but sometimes users are unable to send POST messages for activation of their plugins. Usually when this happens, the asynchronous request goes to the error callback where it receives the message "The operation completed successfully” -- even though it was not successful at all. Their POST messages never reach my server.
Usually this is caused by an HTTP blocker installed for either Mac or Windows, and temporarily turning it off solves the problem. One of my users figured out how to make an exception for it when Norton Life-Lock was blocking it.
Another user has Avast anti-virus on his PC, and turning it off doesn't help, but he was able to activate AG plugins with no problem. Another user, a big tech company, activated plugins on seven PCs, then a few months later an eighth PC was unable to send an activation request. Their IT guy activated his plugin in a test from his home, but it continued to fail in the office and they're agitated that I can't help.
I suppose one approach would be a special build of the plugin that would automatically activate when it recognized a certain machineUUID.
Any suggestions regarding coding or just customer support would be very much appreciated!
