Debugging Hint: In any programming language, in any environment, regardless of whether it’s a Chilkat error message or something from Microsoft, if you don’t understand the error message try Googling it.

The Chilkat HTTP component’s FollowRedirects property controls whether 301 and 302 HTTP response statuses (i.e. redirect responses) are automatically followed.

Here’s an example of uploading a file via a POST to Amazon S3: void TestPostAmazonS3Upload(void) { CkHttpRequest req; CkHttp http; bool success; // Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days. success = http.UnlockComponent(“Anything”); if (success != true) { printf(“%s\n”,http.lastErrorText()); return; } req.SetFromUrl(“http://something.s3.amazonaws.com/”); req.UseUpload(); req.AddParam(“key”,”file1005.dat”); req.AddParam(“AWSAccessKeyId”,”AA6SXJPBBBBGSZHEJ6ZZ”); req.AddParam(“acl”,”private”); req.AddParam(“success_action_redirect”,”http://www.something.com/blahblah.php”); req.AddParam(“policy”,”abcdefhijmF0aW9uIjogIjIwMDktMTItMDFUMTI6MDA6MDAuMDAwWiIsImNvbmRpdGlvbnMiOiBbeyJidWNrZXQiOiAidHlwaG9vbmRyaXZlIn0sWyJzdGFydHMtd2l0aCIsIiRrZXkiLCIiXSx7ImFjbCI6ICJwcml2YXRlIn0seyJzdWNjZXNzX2FjdGlvbl9yZWRpcmVjdCI6ICJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnR5cGhvb250b29scy5jb20vdHlwaG9vbmRyaXZlc3RvcC5waHAifSxbInN0YXJ0cy13aXRoIiwiJENvbnRlbnQtVHlwZSIsIiJdXX0=”); req.AddParam(“signature”,”abcdefwFQPpsAAAuCUY2m7g/kkw=”); req.AddParam(“Content-Type”,”application/octet-stream”); // The file must be added last for […]
There are two possible ways to create an ActiveX within HTML. The first is via an Object HTML tag: <object name=”crypt2″ width=0 height=0 classid=”clsid:3352B5B9-82E8-4FFD-9EB1-1A3E60056904″ standby=”Loading Chilkat Crypt2…” type=”application/x-oleobject” codebase=”http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/ChilkatCrypt2.cab”> </object> The 2nd way is to dynamically instantiate it within Javascript: var crypt; crypt = new ActiveXObject(“Chilkat.Crypt2”); If the object is created from within Javascript (via CreateObject), then the ActiveX has […]
Question: I have a question about ‘binding’ Chilkat EMAIL to a specific socket in .NET.
