v9.5.0.34 Micro Update: SSL/TLS Perfect Forward Secrecy, Minor HTTP and ASN.1 Fixes

The internal Chilkat SSL/TLS implementation now supports the TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA and TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA cipher suites. These allow for perfect forward secrecy. Note: This is implemented on the client-side for all protocols using SSL/TLS. The SSL/TLS client provides the server with a list of algorithms it supports, and it is the server that decides which is to be used. These new algorithms are […]

v9.5.0.32 Micro Update: HTTP Connection Left in Invalid State after Event Callback Aborts Operation

The Chilkat HTTP component has a set of methods and properties that allow already-existing methods to be called asynchronously. For […]
