Question: I’m going to be using them in VB.Net to process a GMail inbox. In GMail they use Labels instead of folders. Are the labels that belong to an email visible via your tool? Ideally the VB application would process the inbox, and perform actions based on the label. Answer: I investigated and it refreshed my memory. GMail “labels” are […]
The following problem is common. The goal is to match the signature produced by this OpenSSL command w/ Chilkat: cat in.txt | openssl dgst -sha1 -sign myPrivateKey.pem | openssl enc -base64 The “gotcha” is when the input text file ends with a linefeed character (a single byte having value 0x0A), but the programmer does not realize it. The bytes passed […]
This happens if the Chilkat ActiveX objects are dragged and dropped onto your formvia the “Project–>Components” menu. Instead, add a reference to the objects via the “Project–>References” menu. Instances of the object should be created dynamically. For example: Dim imap as ChilkatImap Set imap = New ChilkatImap
One possible cause of this socket connect error is when an Anti-Virus program blocks the connection. This can happen if the AV program is blocking the outbound port. If some programs can connect to a given remote host:port, but your application cannot, then check your Anti-Virus program to see if exceptions were made for specific programs, but not for your […]

SSH/SFTP servers are notoriously bad at providing any sort of useful information about the cause of a problem. This is one of those cases. It was discovered that for one particular server, if a remote file is opened (via the OpenFile method) using “readWrite” access, then the OpenFile succeeds, but a subsequent call to a method such as ReadFileBytes fails. […]

In C++ Builder, when passing a string to an ActiveX (COM) function, a BSTR is required. This is different than a NULL-terminated WideString. The correct syntax looks like this: long lSuccess; BSTR bstr = SysAllocString(L”UnlockCode”); spChilkatMHT->UnlockComponent (bstr, &lSuccess); SysFreeString( bstr ); The following is incorrect because a NULL-terminated WideString is passed, and not a BSTR: // This code will probably […]
