Global Functions

`generateRandomKey ( )` | `webui.t[360]`

Generate a random key. This returns a 128-bit random number as a hex string. This is designed for ephemeral identifiers, such as session keys.

`processNetRequests (doneFunc, timeout?)` | `webui.t[1493]`

Process network requests. Continues until doneFunc() returns true, or a timeout or error occurs. If we return because doneFunc() returned true, we'll return nil. Otherwise, we'll return the NetEvent that terminated the wait.
