Chilkat Binary Encoding List

Throughout the Chilkat API there are method arguments and properties to indicate an encoding. These are encodings for binary data such as “hex”, “base64”, etc. Note: These are not character encodings. A character encoding, such as “utf-8” indicates the byte representation of a character. A binary encoding, such as “base64”, represents non-character binary data in printable string form. Wherever an […]

v9.5.0.49 Micro Update: New Features, Fixes, Changes, etc.

Encoding: Added Base58 encoding as an additional choice for all places where an encoding (such as “base64”, “hex”, etc.) can be selected. Crypt2: Beware of using the GenEncodedSecretKey method — just after v9.5.0.49 was released, it was discovered that this property ignored the encoding (such as “base64” or “hex”) of the 2nd arg and instead followed the encoding as specified […]

HTTP Upload vs. SOAP Request (how they are different)

What is the difference between an HTTP Upload and a SOAP Request? An upload is an HTTP request that uses the multipart/form-data content-type. (All HTTP requests and responses are MIME, and the format of a given request is determined by the content-type.) A SOAP request, on the other hand, has a content-type of text/xml, which means it is composed of […]

Mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built “MSIL” and “AMD64”

For the following Visual Studio warning, see http://www.chilkatforum.com/questions/8087/mismatch-between-the-processor-architecture-of-the-project-being-built-msil-and-the-processor-architecture-of-the-reference-chilkatdotnet45-amd64 There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built “MSIL” and the processor architecture of the reference “ChilkatDotNet45”, “AMD64”. This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your […]

SSL/TLS: Chilkat will by-default disallow all possible usage of RSA keys that are […]

Dynamically Loading .NET Assembly (32-bit or 64-bit)

Found a nice technique for dynamically loading a native .NET assembly and automatically choosing the appropriate one to match the loading process’s address space (32-bit or 64-bit). The source is located here: http://www.chilkatforum.com/questions/2966/why-separate-32-and-64-bit-chilkat-libraries-for-net and reproduced here: — I prefer another solution to this problem. It allows you to have a mix of 32 and 64 bit apps in the same […]

v9.5.0.47 Micro Update: New Features, Fixes, Changes, etc.

FTP2: The MLSD extension was not used in some cases where the FTP server actually supported it. Certificates: When finding the issuer (internally), Chilkat will always first check for an authority key identifier, and if found will search for the cert with the matching subject key identifier. Otherwise it will locate the issuer by distinguished name. TLS: Fixed the “Unsupported […]

The Chilkat […]
