Charset (i.e. character encoding) detection for HTML is determined by the presence of META HTML tag such as this: <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″> For XHTML documents, the […]
Cert and CertStore Fix: Auto-cleanup of private key in \Documents and Settings\{User}\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-* when calling Cert.LoadPfxData or Cert.LoadPfxFile. (.NET) Cert.Dispose and CertStore.Dispose will clear internal object and potentially remove private key file if it was temporarily created via LoadPfxData/LoadPfxFile. Email Object Added SetFromMimeBytes method — allowing an email to be loaded directly from a byte array containing raw MIME. FTP2 […]
C++ Libraries Removed internal calls to setlocale so that the locale is never changed from whatever your application may have set it to. Compression Fixed rare PPMD crash. DSA Fixed LoadText method in DSA ActiveX. FTP2 Two additional modes added to SyncLocalTree: mode 5 – Download only missing files or files with size differences. mode 6 – Same as mode […]
SMTP (MailMan) Added the MailMan.SendMimeBytes method to allow for sending the exact MIME source of an email from a byte array. This is useful for emails that have 8bit encodings. (With ActiveX, byte arrays are passed as Variants containing a byte array.) This method is also useful for sending DKIM signed email, because the output of the Chilkat.Dkim signature creation […]
RSA Fixed PEM to XML conversion so that XML is compatible with .NET Framework’s XML requirements. Fixed RSA key generation. In some cases, RSA generated keys were not valid. Verified key acceptance and signature matching between Chilkat, OpenSSL, and .NET MIME / DKIM Fixed DKIM and DomainKeys signature generation. Tested and verified DKIM / DomainKeys signatures in emails sent to […]
Crypt2 Added “UU” and “Base32” to the encoding and decoding capabilities. Any method ending in “ENC” may now encode to/from UU and Base32. The encoding is controlled by the EncodingMode property, which allows for these new encodings, as well as all of the existing ones — Hex, Base64, Quoted-Printable, URL, etc. Added EncodeString and DecodeString methods. Added UuMode and UuFilename […]
