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. […]
OAuth2 authentication for desktop apps. Many developers don’t realize that the Chilkat OAuth2 class is for desktop applications. Doing OAuth2 in a web application (where your code runs on a web server) is relatively easy and does not require Chilkat (although Chilkat can be used to assist with some mundane tasks). Working/live examples are […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
