  Flickr

I have previously fixed issues with Small Basic Flickr command, due to changes in flickr api.

I had a look at it again as it doesn't work and determined that this time the api key has expired.  I got a new api key and updated LDUtilities.FixFlickr.  It seems to need to download the file rather than just load with ImageList, but the following works (Beta 1.2.25.0).

Code:
LDNetwork.SetSSL()
flickr = LDUtilities.FixFlickr()
imageURL = Flickr.GetRandomPicture("Car")
tmpFile = File.GetTemporaryFilePath()
LDNetwork.DownloadFile(tmpFile,imageURL)
image = ImageList.LoadImage(tmpFile)
File.DeleteFile(tmpFile)
GraphicsWindow.DrawResizedImage(image,0,0,GraphicsWindow.Width,GraphicsWindow.Height)

While reinstating website and extension downloader, I found that various webserver requests, like ftp etc failed.  The solution was to set the following (C#) before starting web requests.

Code:
WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
I then tried one of my old programs that uses a web resource image and it failed.  It was the same SSL security issue.  The same fix, implemented with LDNetwork.SetSSL().  The following SB now works, even with standard SB ImageList web access for networked resources.
Code:
LDNetwork.SetSSL()
image = ImageList.LoadImage("https://litdev.uk/game_images/rubic.png")
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(image,0,0)
This should open up a lot of options for networked resources, and is available with LitDev Beta version (1.2.25.0).
