[x3d-public] Text.url or way to display source code in Castle Model Viewer (CastleScript)

[John Carlson]

I am currently displaying source code by keeping a copy in scene, instead
of downloading or referencing a url in scene, it just seems a bit excessive
for all the possible encodings.   I already have an Inline, how can I also
feed the Inline data to a Text.string?

Apologies if I brought down web3d.org today, I didn’t think single-threaded
code would be too intrusive.  I have commented out/removed the https client
in my menu generator.

The CORS issue is holding back further testing of X3DOM, Sunrize and X_ITE
for AnchorMenu, I’m afraid.  Downloading or recreating the archive might be
a possibility.  Probably Castle Web experiences similar.  I will work on a
zip.

I don’t think I’ll break the GPU, especially if Text.string is truncated?

Seems strange now that many terminals are hardware accelerated.
