Troi Automatisering releases URL Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 8

Updated plug-in for FileMaker Pro 8 lets you get and post data and retrieve images from the Internet.

February 6th, 2006, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi
Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi URL Plug-in
1.8.2 for FileMaker Pro 8.


What is Troi URL Plug-in?

Troi URL Plug-in can help you fill in forms on the Internet, all from
FileMaker Pro. It also retrieves data or images from any HTTP URL.

You can:
- use the POST command to fill in a web form and retrieve the
result directly in FileMaker
- use the GET command to retrieve data
- use a secure connection (HTTPS) using SSL
- get access to password protected web pages
- encode text into HTTP format
- send cookies with a request
- show a custom progress dialog during the retrieval (Mac OS only)
- get JPEG and also GIF images directly into a container field


Suggested Uses

Troi URL plug-in allows you to:
- fill in forms on web sites or your intranet
- get online data like stock quotes, weather reports, etc.
- automatically add information to listings and online databases
- search the Internet for terms or other specific items
- get the time of your city

All these features also work in a runtime solution.


What is new in version 1.8.2?

Troi URL Plug-in 1.8.2 is written for FileMaker 7 and 8. This release
adds these new features:
- Added new function: TURL_SetProxy. This gives you an explicit way
to set a proxy server.
- Added switch to TURL_POST: “-NotEncoded”. This switch will send
the post data without any encoding for “www-form-urlencoded”.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a memory leak in TURL_GET and TURL_POST, which
could return error code $$24 and eventually lead to a crash.
- (Windows) Improved proxy handling code on Windows.

This plug-in opens new possibilities to get all sorts of data from
the Internet. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see
what you can do with it!
