The AWS Reference Documentation is not consistent. In some cases, the documentation provides a sample request and sample response. The samples are extremely helpful, and make it easy to implement the call in any programming language. With Chilkat, you can usually generate sample code by pasting the sample request, and the body of the sample response into Chilkat’s online tool […]

The only pitfall is that you have to add it as […]

Carbon Black is security software that can block your application from running unless you whitelist it. Here’s a description of how a Chilkat user discovered that Carbon Black was the cause of his PowerBuilder application not working. We figured out why the executable could not retrieve a token from Box. It was not a firewall/network issue, the application was being […]
