Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
Question: My site has Google analytics (each page includes urchin.js), but when I use the Chilkat HTTP component, I don’t see the cookies. I can see the cookies using FireFox. What’s the problem? Answer: Cookies may be sent by the server via the Set-Cookie header. Chilkat HTTP looks for this header in the HTTP response […]

I would use this info to know when to resend the email. Answer: Sometimes you’ll receive […]
HTTP upload requires code both client-side and server-side code to be functioning correctly. Imagine you are trying to do an HTTP upload from your application (using the Chilkat Upload component) and something is not working. How do you debug? Is the client-side application at fault?

The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed Metabase Property (IIS 6.0) specifies the maximum number of bytes allowed in the entity body of an ASP request. The default value is 2MB. To upload files greater than this size, this IIS metabase property must be changed on the server.
Given that your SFTP client might be communicating with servers on different operating systems, what is the proper syntax for an absolute filepath? On a Linux system, there is no “C” drive. Let’s do some experimentation…. For this experiment, we have two SSH servers: 1) A Tectia server running on a Windows platform. 2) An […]
Question: In our application we have the need to encrypt a 19 character simple string value. When running through the sample test program I found that the resulting encrypted string varied in size from at least 44 to 64 characters depending on the encoding type parameter.

Question: My question is how to I send the contents of a MS-Word document as the body of the email (not as an attachment)? Answer: You cannot. Most email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, etc.) are not capable of displaying MS-Word documents directly. (I’m not sure if Outlook does, I’ve never tested it…) Therefore, you would […]
