Chilkat v9.5.0.80 adds a new BinData function named GetBytesPtr. It returns a pointer to the internal bytes contained within the BinData. This post shows one way of writing those bytes to a Delphi TStream (using the Chilkat non-ActiveX Delphi DLL). procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject); var rawBytes: PByte; ItemCount: Integer; binDat: HCkBinData; Stream: TMemoryStream; Writer: TBinaryWriter; byteArr: TBytes; numBytes: Integer; i: Integer; […]
If you see the error lines “The connection already exists, as far as we know..” followed by “socketError: Broken pipe” in any LastErrorText for a method that sends an HTTP request, it means the following: The server replied to the previous request without a “Connection: close” header, thus allowing the client to keep the connection open for the next request.

The Chilkat v9.5.0.79 version reduces the size of the Android Java .so shared libs by approximately 24%. For example, the armv7l lib is reduced from 9.86MB to 7.56MB. For developers writing C++ code in Android (i.e. using the Android C++ libs downloaded from https://www.chilkatsoft.com/chilkatAndroidCpp.asp), you’ll want to include the following linker options when linking with the Chilkat static libs: -Wl,–gc-sections,–icf=safe […]
This is a walkthrough for getting a “Hello World” working with Chilkat in the Go programming language. We’ll start from scratch by downloading Go and getting a simple Hello World Go example working. Then we’ll install Chilkat and build and run an example program. (1) My Go language installation will be in ~/langDists/go. cd ~ mkdir langDists cd langDists (2) […]
