Troi URL Version and Update
History
Troi URL Plug-in versions for FileMaker Pro 7, 8 and 8.5
Version 2.0.2 (for FileMaker 7, 8 and 8.5)
(November 7th, 2006)
- (Windows) Fixed a problem where after installing Internet Explorer 7 the plug-in would return an error of $$87.
- (Windows) When using the TURL_Post function with the -NotEncoded switch: the plug-in now no longer adds "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" to the headers.
- (Mac OS X) Added "-DontAutoRedirect" switch for the TURL_Get and TURL_Post function.
- (Mac OS X) Added "-AllowAnyRootCertificate" switch which can be added to HTTPS TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions. This switch will allow root certificates from unrecognized certification authorities. Note that this is less secure.
- Added user interface for explicitly setting a proxy in the example file "FillForm.fp7".
- Corrected wrong field for the -NotEncoded switch on the layout of the example file "FillForm.fp7".
- Fixed a problem in the example files "GetPage.fp7" and "GetImages.fp7". The button "Set proxy server" now executes the correct script.
- (Windows) Changed the error code returned when a timeout occurs: instead of $$12002 the plug-in now returns $$-4230, as on Mac OS X.
- Changed name of user guide to be more clear for which plug-in it refers to.
Version 2.0.1 (for FileMaker 8.5, 8 and 7)
(August 22nd, 2006)
- Added the new function TURL_GetLastProperties, which returns information about the last image downloaded. You can ask for image type, width and height. Also fixed a bug in the windows version
- (Windows) Fixed bug in TURL_GetLastProperties.
- Improved the GetImages.fp7 example file.
- Added a consistency check for missing resources. The plug-in will now notice missing resources for example after being incorrectly zipped or tarred.
Version 2.0b2 (for FileMaker 8.5, 8 and 7)
(August 2nd, 2006)
- Fixed a bug where after disabling and re-enabling the plug-in not all the functions of the plug-in would be available.

- (Mac OS X) Fixed a problem where the plug-in would not work after using the AutoUpdate feature of FileMaker Server.
Version 2.0b1 (for FileMaker 8.5, 8 and 7)
(July 24th, 2006)
- First public beta for FileMaker Pro 8.5. On Mac the plug-in is now an Universal plug-in which runs on PowerPC-based and on Intel-based Macs.
- Added "-ExtraImageCheck" switch to the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions. This will
make the plug-in do extra checking on the returned data if the data might be a image after all even if the images on the web site doesn't have a .png or .gif extension.
- Added new function: TURL_GetLastProperties, to retrieve the last image properties: image type, image height and width.
- Added switch -ReturnDataAfterError to TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions. This will return the error code followed by the data. Useful for debugging when partial data is returned.
- (Mac OS X) the "-Portnumber =xxx" switch now also works in TURL_Post.
- The plug-in now recovers better from some errors in the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions.
- Made the plug-in functions also visible in Custom Functions.
- Improved file type checking for images, especially GIFs, in the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions.
- Improved error handling in the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions.
- Added sanity checks to the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions. The plug-in now checks if returned images are corrupt or invalid. If this is the case error $$-4247 is returned. This can prevent FileMaker from hanging on the invalid image.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in the TURL_Get and TURL_Post functions, where with some long URLs would return with error code $$-2131.

Troi URL Plug-in versions for FileMaker Pro 6
What's new in
Troi URL Plug-in 1.3 (21 September 2005)
- New version also accepts registration of Troi URL
Plug-in 1.8.
- Updated package and release notes.
What's
new in Troi URL Plug-in 1.2 (10-August-2004)
- (Mac OS) Added support for customizing the header
sent to web servers on Mac OS and Mac OS X, through the
new TURL-SetCustomHeader function. This allows you to set
the content-type too: for example "Content-type:
text/html" or "Content-type: text/xml". Added DRAFT
layout for this in the GetPage.fp5 file.
- Added -ExtraCRLFafterData switch to the TURL-POST
function. This allows you to add CRLF at the end of the
data.
|
IMPORTANT Changed behavior: On Windows
the TURL-POST function would add an extra CRLF at
the end of the data it sends to the web server.
This caused problems with some web servers.
Starting with this version of the plug-in this
extra CRLF is no longer added. Please use the
-ExtraCRLFafterData switch if you need the CRLF at
the end.
|
- (Mac OS) Improved correct display of dialog messages,
like when the plug-in has stopped working. Also moved
resources to a range not affected by the FileMaker
application.
- When you specify a too long timeout value in the
TURL-POST and the TURL-GET function, the plug-in now
returns $$-4239, indicating the timeout is too big.
- Added documentation on checkboxes and radiobuttons in
the TURL-POST function.
- Improved the FillForm.fp5 example file, to use the
custom headers if necessary.
- (Mac OS) fixed a bug, when a web page is not
available on the web server. Instead of an empty page the
error code 404 is now returned.
- Fixed an error in the TURL-GET and TURL-POST function
where the switch "-TimeoutSecs=301" (or bigger) would
result in an inaccurate error code kErrPortNrOutOfRange
($$-4228) instead of kErrTimeOutOutOfRange
($$-4239).
What's new in
Troi URL Plug-in 1.1
Troi URL Plug-in 1.1 adds these new functions and
features:
- Added support for cookies. On Mac OS and Mac OS X,
this is done through the new TURL-SetCookies function. On
Windows cookies are handled automatically by the
operating system.
- Added support for secure connections (HTTPS) using
SSL on Windows. (Mac OS already supported HTTPS).
- (Mac OS only) Fixed a bug which could crash
FileMaker, if the URL did not exist and the progress
dialog was shown.
- (Windows only) Fixed a problem where the plug-in
would not return all data for a password protected web
page.
- Changed the implementation on Windows. System
requirements on Windows are now: Windows 98, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6), Windows 2000, Windows
XP. We no longer support older Windows versions.
- Updated the user guide and example files.
What's new in
Troi URL Plug-in 1.0.1
Troi URL Plug-in 1.0.1 version is a small update, mainly
for Windows users of the plug-in. Version 1.0.1 has these
changes for Windows only :
- Timeout error fixed: we fixed a problem where the
plug-in would always return with a timeout error code
$$-4230 for certain URLs.
- Extra length bytes at certain points in the returned
HTML are now removed.
- When an authorization error occurs the plug-in now
returns $$-30776 (URLAuthenticationError) , instead of
showing the error page from the browser itself.
- When a timeout occurs the plug-in now always returns
error code $$-4230, instead of $$-3259 in some
cases.
NOTE The Mac OS Plug-in was not changed.
Version 1.0.1 of the Mac OS plug-in is the same as the 1.0
version. We only changed the version number to keep in sync
with the Windows version.
Furthermore we:
- added a "For Solution developers" folder, with
information about distributing this plug-in.
- corrected a few errors in the user guide
- added 5 questions to the Troi
URL plug-in FAQ and a Proxy
settings page to our web site.
-
What's new in
Troi URL Plug-in 1.0
The 1.0 version had these new features:
- Added support for Proxy
servers on Windows. (Mac OS already supported Proxy
servers.
- Added the function TURL-ToHTTP, which can encode text
in to HTTP format.
- You can now set a custom text for the name of the
user agent the plug-in sends to a server, so the plug-in
can pretend to be a specific browser.
- You can now customize the text and button of the
progress dialog box (Mac OS only).
- On Mac OS and Mac OS X long operations now can be
canceled by pressing the Esc key or Command-Period.
- Changed the default timeout to 15 seconds.
- If there is no protocol at the beginning of an URL,
the plug-in now adds "http://" before it.
- A few bugs have been fixed.

guide, so you can get started more easily.
