how do you get html on a prim anyway?

The same way you get other visual media streams in SL onto prim surfaces. the only awkward aspect of it is that you need to have enabled media viewing within Second Life to get webpages. This not really an ideal implementation (you don't really need Quicktime to browse a webpage in any form except for embedded quicktime streams), but it's a start.

Now all that's to do is to improve the implementation. Oh, and fix this blasted error - media settings should not be crashing the sim - they're not meant to be anything more than a parameter for clients to parse.

OK, spotted on time, JIRA filled, residents doing promotion of it (we can use some more, only 15 votes so far). If it gets fixed in reasonable time we can all be happy with how we go.

Didn't kill my Havok4 or my Havok1 sim, but Quarl Linden has acknowledged the error so this doesn't need votes.

Indeed, Qarl Linden was assigned to it and it should be fixed quickly enough.

Jay, I actually wondered if it's only Mac-generated bytecode that crashes sims. Did you use Windows to compile and test it on your sims?

No, a Macintosh too, although the compiling of LSL is done by the simulator not by the client.

Using the code segment in the Jira. Maybe there is also something with the page being displayed... I had google showing.

I am sure though that Quarl will sort it out quick smart, he is pretty good at this stuff.
