If this FTP server response is seen in the LastErrorText, it means that the SSL/TLS connection requires a client-side certificate with private key. Prior to connecting, the client-side certificate should be specified by calling the SetSslClientCert, or SetSslClientCertPfx. Make sure to check the return value of these methods for success/failure. If the SetSslClientCert* method fails, then no client-side certificate has […]
Chilkat v9.3.0, being released this week, now supports the ability to create CAdES-BES and CAdES-EPES digital signatures via the MailMan, Mime, and Crypt2 objects. All three objects/classes now include the following new properties: bool CadesEnabled; string CadesSigPolicyId; string CadesSigPolicyUri; string CadesSigPolicyHash; (base64 encoded representation of hash) To create a CAdES-BES signature, simply set the CadesEnabled property = true. For CAdES-EPES, […]
Chilkat version 9.3.0, being released this week, includes new IMAP functionality to fetch emails without downloading attachments, and then subsequently fetch attachments one at a time separately. There is a new boolean property named “AutoDownloadAttachments”, which has a default value of True (YES). If set to False (NO), then all Fetch* methods will not download attachments. Note: “related” items are […]
Chilkat v9.3.0 for Cocoa now includes the asynchronous functionality and event callback functionality that has been available in the C++ libs. Asynchronous methods run in a background thread such that the call immediately returns to the application. Events are not fired w/ asynchronous method calls — your app would periodically check to see if the background task is finished. To […]

A note from a Chilkat customer using the IOS 4.3/5.0 libraries: …when running in the simulator, it ended up in gdb with a “__dlyd__dlyd_start message. I looked around on Google and found this: http://blog.ginzburgconsulting.com/__dyld__dyld_start-error-when-launching-your-ios-app/ So I added the -weak-lSystem flag in Xcode (Targets -> Your target -> Build Setting tab) and it’s running now.

Question: I know it isn’t listed in the documentation, but is there any method to test whether a file has been previously encrypted or not? I would like to perform decryption on a file, but only if it is already encrypted. Answer: A symmetric encryption algorithm is simply a transformation of bytes such that the output has the properties of […]
** The following is a helpful note from a Chilkat customer using the Chilkat Java API in a GlassFish environment: FYI I managed to solve the problem. The following is what I did (in case you may want to help others with a similar need in future) to enable the RSA component to run within a Java EE6 web application […]
A note about building (linking) a project in XCode: If a static lib’s corresponding dylib is in a library search path during linking, Xcode will link to the dylib instead of the static lib. The solution is to move the dylib somewhere else. (from a Chilkat customer) “I created chilkat-9.2.1-macosx-10.5/lib/dylib and moved the dylibs into it. Since my library search […]
