I'll give the upgrade a try. If anyone here can point me to any
significant gotchas I'd like to know them in advance.
4D 2003.7
-- 4D Server (Win 2K)
-- 4D Client (Mac OS X)
-- Currently runs Active4D 3.0.1b7
-- ITK 2.6.1b1 (Modified Shell)
-- WebSTAR 4.3.5 (Planning move to Apache)
From what I've seen on this list it appears that 4.0 is designed for
Fusebox and is configured with the assumption you will use it.
Unfortunately, the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" does apply to some
things and as much as I'd like too, rewriting all of our web apps in
Fusebox will probably never happen.
I still have a question about the about url encode query (see below).

You should be using 'url encode query' on the keys and values separately.
Since the value I'm encoding is a full URL that contains path and query
parameters should I expect url encode query to encode /,?,&, and =
characters?
Also, we are still using 3.01b7.
Ouch... I know the old saying is "If it ain't broke don't fix it," but
in this case it _is_ broke. The upgrade from 3.01b7 to v4 is fairly
smooth for most.
In my debugging I'm seeing some unexpected behavior with "get query
params". Mantis doesn't indicate that there was ever a bug with this
command. For example if I encode a ? (%3f) in my "from" value, Active
4D would return a result that stopped at the character before that
encoded character.
Encoding/decoding of query params was broken in 3.01 and fixed in v4.
Thanks,
Brad
