ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 91
Important For better performance in FileMaker WebDirect, be sure that Select entire contents is
selected.
Notes
• Insert From URL supports UTF-8 only.
• In FileMaker WebDirect:
• If Perform without dialog is deselected, this script step runs as if Automatically
encode URL is selected.
• If Select entire contents is deselected, and Insert From URL inserts content into a text
field, the contents from the URL are appended to the text field. Multiple fetches can
result in unpredictable results and slower performance.
• httppost and httpspost are custom schemes defined by FileMaker Pro that enable you to
send HTTP POST data. See About importing data using an HTTP request.
