Chilkat HTTP ActiveX download

v9.4 [Dec 23, 2012]
(backward compatibility) Removed the deprecated CkCrypt and CkFtp C classes. (CkCrypt2 and CkFtp2 have been the primary C classes for encryption and FTP for many years.)
(backward compatibility) Removed the deprecated Chilkat.Crypt and Chilkat.Ftp .NET classes. (The primary Chilkat .NET classes for encryption and FTP have been Chilkat.Crypt2 and Chilkat.Ftp2 for many years.)
(backward compatibility) Removed the “Blacklist” class wherever it may have been present. This class has been deprecated for many years, and the online documentation for it was removed many years ago.
(backward compatibility, C API) All C method arguments that were pointers to objects have now become references to objects. For example, if a method argument was “CkCert *”, it is now “CkCert &”. This cause a compilation error, but the coding fix is very simple (just dereference the pointer that is passed). There are two exceptions. One is for CkXml::Search* methods where the 1st argument may be NULL, and therefore the pointer argument (CkXml *) was maintained. The second is for event callback objects (see below).
(backward compatibility, C Zip) The standard way of setting an progress monitoring callback object is via the put_EventCallbackObject method. This applies to all Chilkat C classes. The event callback object can be set by passing a pointer to the event callback object, or passing a NULL to suppress event callbacks. Previous to v9.4.0, the CkZip class had two versions of many methods: one where the last argument was a “CkZipProgress *”, and the other where it did not exist. The methods having the last argument of “CkZipProgress *” have been dropped. The event callback must be strictly set via the put_EventCallbackObject method.
(backward compatibility, C Zip) The CkZipEntry::InflateToString and CkZipEntry::InflateToString2 methods are replaced with a single UnzipToString method: bool CkZipEntry::UnzipToString(int lineEndingBehavior, const char *srcCharset, CkString &outStr);The line ending behavior can have one of three values: 0 = leave line endings unchanged, 1 = convert all line endings to bare LF’s, 2 = convert all line endings to CRLF’s. The source charset is required to tell the method how to interpret the bytes of the text data. For example, it could be “ansi” or “utf-8″, or “windows-1252″, etc.
(FTP2) CreatePlan/PutPlan forward slash/backslash problems fixed. On Windows systems, items in the “already done” log were unnecessarily re-uploaded because of these differences.
(XMP) Fixed a problem in ChilkatXmp.NewXmp in the ActiveX build. There was no problem in NewXmp in other builds.
(Email/MailMan) Fixed problem w/ using ReplacePatterns where replacements were not made for recipient email addresses.
(backward-compatibility, HTTP) Changed the default value of the HttpRequest.Charset property from utf-8 to ANSI.
(HTTP) SynchronousRequest returned NULL if the HTTP response code was 404. Instead will return the response object so that the full response information is available to the application.
(IMAP) Added CloseMailbox and CheckForNewEmail methods. These will be in the online reference documentation soon.
(ALL) If “?” char is in the file path, then it’s automatically replaced with an underscore when
saving / opening files on the Windows OS. (The ‘?’ character is not allowed to be in a filename or path on the Windows OS)
(IMAP) Added the ListSubscribed method. It is the same as ListMailboxes, but returns the subset of subscribed mailboxes.
(ActiveX) Chilkat ActiveX’s are fully disabled when used within the context of Internet Explorer (i.e. as a client-side ActiveX running within the browser). They are now entirely incapable of doing anything when existing within the context of IE (for example, when embedded within VBScript or Javascript inside HTML and running within the browser).
(FTP2) A date/time parsing problem w/ Microsoft FTP server directory listings was fixed.
(Objective-C) Any occurance of “CkoString” in method arguments was replaced with “NSString”. (The use of “CkoString” was a code generation error.) There is no actual “CkoString” object in the Chilkat Objective-C API.
(HTML-to-Text) The DecodeHtmlEntities property defaulted to false when it should’ve been true (as documented).
(Crypt, HTTP, etc.) Default URL encoding is now according to RFC 3986.
(Unicode C ) The Ck*W.h header files were missing “#pragma pack (pop)” at the end of each file.
(Zip) The OpenZip will scan forward for the actual start of a .zip. However, the zip must begin on a 4-byte boundary. A typical .zip archive obviously begins at the 1st byte (location 0). However, this makes it possible for OpenZip to be used with self-extracting EXE’s where the zip is stored unmodified within the .exe.
(EMail) Email.UnpackHtml will automatically add a META tag to indicate the charset if it does not yet exist.
(VC Libraries) Add SP1 builds for C libs for VS2005, VS2008, and VS2010.

v9.3 [Apr 30, 2012]
- Added a free supporting CkDateTime object for date/time functionality. The use of SYSTEMTIME will become deprecated in favor of methods that instead return a CkDateTime object. More information about this will be added to www.example-code.com, as well as the reference documentation.
- A memory leak in the SynchronousRequest method was fixed. The memory leak only occurred in the ActiveX build.
