In AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service), the concept of folders does not exist in the traditional sense as it does in a typical file system. Instead, S3 is a flat storage system where all objects (files) are stored in a single, global namespace. However, AWS S3 simulates a folder-like structure through the use of object key naming conventions. Key Concepts: […]
* Chilkat recommends avoiding the use of Async methods in Classic ASP. In summary, the Chilkat Async methods run in a background thread (within Chilkat) and you don’t want the background thread to be running after the processing of the ASP page is completed. In Classic ASP, creating and managing background threads is not natively supported because Classic ASP is […]
If an HTTP GET works in a browser, but does not work from your application, then check to see if your site uses Cloudfare with the Browser Integrity Check turned on. If so, then for testing purposes, temporarily turn BIC off, and try again. The Browser Integrity Check (BIC) feature in Cloudflare is a security measure designed to protect websites […]

For example, if you wish to sign this XML: <abc> <xyz>test</xyz> </abc> and […]
It’s generally not a good idea to use literal strings containing non-usascii chars in your source code, regardless of programming language. For example, in C++ a literal string would be like this: const char *s = “44ης Οδός, αρ.2”; Or perhaps in another programming language, such as DataFlex, it looks like this: Move “44ης Οδός, αρ.4” to streetAddr If you […]
There’s confusion about the OAuth2 scope required to send email via GMAIL. There are two ways to programmatically send email using your GMail account: Connecting to smtp.gmail.com using the SMTP protocol (i.e. using Chilkat.MailMan) Calling the GMail REST API over HTTPS using Chilkat.Http or Chilkat.Rest. The scope for IMAP, POP, and SMTP access is https://mail.google.com/ See https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/xoauth2-protocol If your […]

This post is to record collected information about EuroCert cloud signing. It seems EuroCert provides a PKCS11 driver DLL for Windows: ECSPKCS11.dll. Question: Does this driver DLL communicate with the EuroCert servers to do the signing in the Cloud? (i.e. where the hash to be signed is sent via some REST API to a EuroCert server to be signed by […]
