I just remembered I have a server running FMS 19.5 where HomeURL is working fine. If I compare the two XML files, I see an interesting difference:
jwpc_prefs.xml in FMS 19.5 - works!
jwpc_prefs.xml in FMS 19.6.2- broken
I see a number of differences:
- the working file has 2 lines, and BBEdit says it's using Unix (LF), and it seems to have garbage
characters (Note: BBEdit soft line wrapping is enabled for both windows) - the broken file is pretty formatted, and BBEdit says it's using WIndows (CRLF)
- the broken file is missing the serverid value
