POP3 Headers and Attachment Info

The POP3 protocol is not very feature rich. To download an email “header” the POP3 client must issue a “TOP” command. The following text is from RFC 1939 and describes the response to the TOP command: … After the initial +OK, the POP3 server sends the headers of the message, the blank line separating the headers from the body, and […]

Diffie-Hellman Random Number Generation

Question: (Regarding the Chilkat Diffie-Hellman Component/Library) If it is possible, we´d like to know what algorithm is used to generate random numbers because one of our clients is very strict with security and they demand us this information. Answer: The most difficult problem in implementing a good random number generator is in generating a good seed value for a starting […]

GZip Inflate/Deflate vs Compress/Uncompress clarification

In a nutshell, a GZIP file consists of a header followed by compressed data (using the “deflate” compression algorithm), followed by a trailer. The GZIP file format is specified here: GZIP file format. The Chilkat GZip component’s Compress* and Uncompress* methods read and write the GZIP file format. Data passed to an Uncompress* method should contain the header, compressed data, […]

HTML-to-XML Conversion: DropTagType clarification.

Question: I instantiated the HtmlToXml component correctly but the DropTagType method did not drop the HTML tags as I expected: Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“span font p I”) Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“<span> <font> <p> <I>”) Answer: Call DropTagType once for each type of tag to be dropped (i.e. discarded) from the output. The tag string is case-insensitive: Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“span”) Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“i”) Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“p”) Htmltoxml.DropTagType(“font”)
