Chilkat 27-Jan-2022 – ReceiveRate/SendRate Event Callbacks Fixed

1. Older programming languages such as VB6 and FoxPro run as 32-bit applications. Always. Even on 64-bit Windows computers. You should always use the 32-bit ActiveX (not the 64-bit ActiveX). If you use the 64-bit ActiveX, such as with FoxPro, you’ll get the 0x80020010: Invalid Callee error: 2. The Http.ReceiveRate and Http.SendRate event callbacks were not firing for .NET Core […]

Chilkat 19-Jan-2022 Added 3 New Key Exchange Algorithms for SSH

What’s happening in Chilkat support today.. – Added the following key exchange algorithms to Chilkat’s internal SSH transport: diffie-hellman-group16-sha512, diffie-hellman-group18-sha512, diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 This makes Chilkat compatible with servers that might limit kex algorithms to only these (which is very rare). No changes to the application are needed. The new algorithms apply to any SSH connection, including those for SFTP. Chilkat 14-Jan-2022 […]

What’s happening in Chilkat support today.. 1. The Chilkat.Rest AllowHeaderQB property didn’t prevent Q/B encoding of 8-bit MIME headers (i.e. header fields containing non-us-ascii chars).  Technically, it should be OK to “Q” or “B” encode HTTP request headers as per MIME specifications, but some servers don’t recognize the encoding.    This was fixed. 2. Fixed the following PDF error when trying […]

What’s going on in Chilkat support today… 1. IMAP MOVE command:  Is it possible to get the old UID’s mapped to the new UID’s for messages that are moved?   The answer is:  I don’t know.  One would need to examine the IMAP response to the MOVE command (the MOVE command is an IMAP extension not supported on many IMAP servers).   […]

What’s going on w/ Chilkat today… 1.

What’s going on in Chilkat support today? 1. A web server was responding with LF-only line endings in the HTTP response header.  (The HTTP and MIME standard specifies that headers should have CRLF line endings.)  Chilkat was “fixed” to accommodate the LF-only response header. 2. Started publishing packages for Electron versions 12 to 16, starting with MacOSX and 64-bit Linux. […]

What’s going on in Chilkat support today… 1. Is the Nvidia Jetson Nano development platform supported?   Yes, you would use the downloads for aarch64-linux.  For example, if C/C++, use the Aarch64 download here:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/chilkatLinux.asp 2. OLE error code 0x80020011: Does not support a collection.   For this kind of thing, you should always Google the error message. For example, Google “0x80020011 […]
