Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
A problem in handling XHTML responses w.r.t. recognizing charset encodings was fixed. Also, the handling of image URLs that include params (such as http://c.s-microsoft.com/de-de/CMSImages/CloseButtonWhite.png?version=a83f6b77-9d8f-c696-27dd-cfd779da1a95 ) was fixed.

It can be via “CID” or by URL w/ matching Content-Location header field. Chilkat can do both […]
Question: I’m spidering search results and trying to archive hundreds of pages to MHT’s. I’m testing your control and found it much slower than Internet Explorer. Also, while I’m not doing this now, is this control threadsafe if I ever wanted to try that to improve performance? Answer: Internet Explorer is faster because it uses multiple […]
Question: My HTML page requires authentication to access. If I try to download it with Chilkat MHT, I get the following text in the mht.LastErrorText property: ChilkatLog: GetMHT: version: 5.2.1 DllDate: Sep 12 2008 Username: *** Component: .NET 2.0 url: http://***.aspx root_url: http://*** base_url: http://*** url: http://***.aspx Not yet connected to web server.
