why the output of network.request is delay?
it is normal?
 

local function networkListener( event )
        if ( event.isError ) then
                print( “Network error!”)

        else
                print ("From server: "…myNewData) -------- IN THIS PART the output is delay…
        end
        return true
end

network.request( “http://1dermindstudios.comyr.com/viewscore.php”, “GET”, networkListener )
