  • xtrn/zmachine/getgames.js

    From Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Sun Jun 21 20:37:41 2026
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/d7d1597c7c83b61f440758db
    Modified Files:
    xtrn/zmachine/getgames.js
    Log Message:
    xtrn/zmachine: getgames.js -- clear message when http.js lacks Download()

    Older Synchronet installs ship an exec/load/http.js without HTTPRequest.Download(),
    so getgames' fetches died with an opaque "Download is not a function" (X-Bit hit
    this on a Windows install). Detect it up front: print a clear "update http.js" notice, still install the bundled games, and skip the download entries gracefully
    instead of throwing.
