Re: [twsocket] Should next ICS version support anything before Delphi XE ?
Hi Still on Delphi 7. My app uses DBISAM v3 from ElevateSoft and Delphi 7 is the last Delphi supported. To go to DelphiAnythingNewer I have to go to DBISAM v4 or ElevateDB - both of these options have substantial work involved for little visible advantage to the user, so for them moment I'm doing the user stuff and sticking with D7.

Hi ! I'm planning the next ICS version. Being unable to use any features added to Delphi in the last 10 years is very restricted. Maybe we need to cease support for old Delphi versions ? Of course ICS V5 and V7 will remains available however, the only changes will be bug fixes. What do you think ? Please keep your answer as short as possible, I just want to have an idea about how many of you are still using an old Delphi version. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

[twsocket] Struggling with SSL SMTP
Hi all I need to add SSL support to my existing application that includes some automated emailing. A local ISP has told some of our users that they must use SSL for their email - not sure of the reasons but it happened when the ISP linked up with Yahoo. I thought the best thing to do would to use the SSL SMTP demo program to prove that I could make the connection before I coded anything into my program. BUT I just can't make it work. The ISP told the user that to make their Outlook email client work that they just had to tick the This server requires a secure connection (SSL) box and as far as I know that is all they have had to do. I'm using their Username/Password/SMTP Host/From/Port in running my test. I've tried various combinations of Authentication and SSL-Type with no success - they usually end up with the message 530 Access denied. The following info messages came up when I tried Plain and Implicit and pressed the following buttons:- Connect Helo Ehlo Auth ! Starting SSL handshake Secure connection with TLSv1, cipher AES256-SHA, 256 secret bits (256 total) 220 smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com ESMTP RequestDone Rq=0 Error=0 HELO ASL3 250 smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com RequestDone Rq=1 Error=0 EHLO ASL3 250-smtp103.tnz.mail.aue.yahoo.com 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME RequestDone Rq=10 Error=0 AUTH PLAIN ci5sY29ub24Aci5sY29ub25AeHRyYS5jby5uegBiZWFyMTAzNg== 530 Access denied RequestDone Rq=11 Error=530 Access denied I also get RequestDone Rq=11 Error=500 STARTTLS is not available. whenever I press the StartTLS button or change the SSL-Type to Explicit.

[twsocket] Upgrading from ICS to ICS-SSL
Hi I am running an older version of ICS - can't see a version number anywhere except that IcsDel60.bpl has a file version of 3.0.0.25. This works fine and I haven't had the need to keep up with current versions. Now a major ISP in New Zealand (where most of our users are) has declared that they will only support SMTP with SSL. I can see how to download the ICS-V5 distribution from www.overbyte.be which says it includes ICS-SSL for free. If I install this, will all my existing code work or will I have to go through and redo everything? I guess I'm asking if the component names are all the same and with the properties set as they currently are, will my programs still work as at present. And I expect that I'll have to set some new properties for SSL. OK for Delphi 6? Trying to gauge the size of the task before I launch into it, so I can schedule an appropriate amount of time.

Re: [twsocket] AV trying to download from a website
Thanks for that Piotr
Indeed it is nil. Obviously I done understand the order of firing of
events.
I followed the example (I think!) and created the stream in DocBegin,
used it RequestDone and freed it in DocEnd - which seems logical but in
debugging I see that DocEnd comes before RequestDone.
Moving the freeing of the stream to RequestDone makes it work - but
then why doesn't the example AV???

Probably you're freeing destination stream before using it. Put
something like
if HttpCli.RcvdStream=nil then
ShowMessage('RcvdStream is NIL, click OK to crash.');
before sl.LoadFromStream(HttpCli.RcvdStream); to check whether that's
the case.

[twsocket] ICS and SMTP secure connections
Hi I have asked here before and got knowledgeable replies but in my ignorance of the inner workings of SMTP etc. I have thoroughly confused myself! The problem I have is in the quote at the foot of this email about an SMTP server requiring a secure connection I have read on the Overbyte website about ICS-SSL and thought that was the answer, but now I look again as far as I can see, ICS-SSL seems to relate to https stuff and servers whereas presumably I need smtps on an smtp client, which doesn't seem to be mentioned. I found code at http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/TSmtpCli.Auth (see below) = Using open to handle all in one request The easiest way to use authentication is to use Open instead of Connect. Open handles the Connect, EHLO and AUTH in one so that you don't need to consider it. This is a typical call to open. Smtp.Username := 'bob'; Smtp.Password := 'test'; Smtp.authtype := smtpAuthAutoSelect; Smtp.open In your requestdone event you handle open and trigger the mailfrom-metohd. = So if I'm only working at the Client end, do I simply stick with the standard TSmtpCli and handle the AuthType Property, using smtpAuthAutoSelect if a secure connection is required and smtpAuthNone otherwise? Or have I got it all wrong? Cheers Jeff === the following comment came from our guy who does the user support role in our company - Xtra is a major ISP in New Zealand = With the advent of the Xtra / Yahoo shambles we are having Xtra customers no longer being able to send email statements or normal emails from APM (our application). Changes are being made to Xtra users systems over a period of time so we will be suffering from creeping death. The problem is that Xtra now want to use port 465 (just to be different to the rest of the world I guess) and also use SSL. We need to make these changes in the APM. The following is an extract from their web site which probably is all you need but if you want more go to http://xtra.co.nz/help?link=rdt and enter port 25 (no quotes) into the Search Xtra Help box then Ctrl+F and search for Server Port Numbers (no quotes) Website Extract Server Port Numbers Under 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)', tick the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)'.

and

Boolean);
var
Len: Integer;
begin
if LineNum sl.Count then

{ Truncate the line if too long (should wrap to next line) }
if Len = MaxLen then
StrPCopy(MsgLine, Copy(sl.Strings[LineNum - 1], 1, MaxLen - 1))
else
StrPCopy(MsgLine, sl.Strings[LineNum - 1]);
end;
end;
... To feed the lines from string list sl

Hello Jeff,
the image gets stripped on the way out. I DON'T want to have the
image sent as an attachment (can already do that) but want it in the
body of the email itself.
The HTML part is an attachment and the images are also attachments. If
you want the images in the html document you have to reference them in
the html document in the right sequence.
A correct email also have a plain text. So if you want to send HTML
email with a reference to an image you put the plain text in the body,
the HTML as attachment and the image also.
Check also THtmlSmtpClient. I think as the name say it will handle a
large part of it for you.

[twsocket] Sending mail with SMTPClient including images
Hi
Currently I have a program that works 99% OK ;-)
I compose a rich text email in
BodyText: TJvRichEdit;
and I send it with code like this:-
if BodyText.PlainText then sl.Text := BodyText.Text
else Common.JvRichEditToHtml.ConvertToHtmlStrings(BodyText, sl);
where sl is a TStringList.
Then (code that was straight out of an example) :-
procedure TSMTPMailMsgForm.SmtpClientGetData(Sender: TObject;
LineNum: Integer; MsgLine: Pointer; MaxLen: Integer; var More:
Boolean);
var
Len: Integer;
begin
if LineNum sl.Count then
More := FALSE
else begin
Len := Length(sl.Strings[LineNum - 1]);
{ Truncate the line if too long (should wrap to next line) }
if Len = MaxLen then
StrPCopy(MsgLine, Copy(sl.Strings[LineNum - 1], 1, MaxLen - 1))
else
StrPCopy(MsgLine, sl.Strings[LineNum - 1]);
end;
end;
Now this works and we get nicely formatted emails sent out. EXCEPT when
the user puts an Image into the BodyText (TJvRichEdit).
In this case the image is simply dropped.
I'm hoping that there is a simple solution that doesn't involve
rewriting too much !

Re: [twsocket] Sending mail with SMTPClient including images
Hi Dod
I understand this bit (I think):-
but an image in a mail is a BASE64 encoded attachement so if you
convert HTMLToString then you'll only get the HTML text part of
your mail, not the attached binary files like
images.
But here, I'm not with you
To do this you may have to decode attached picture into its orignal
non BASE64
fomrmat then load it into you RichEdit.
... Because I have already loaded the image (Code below).
The effect I'm trying to get is exactly like (say) MS Outlook where, in
HTML format mails, you can enter formatted text and past images e.g. a
screen shot. I can get that far with what I have written, except that
the image gets stripped on the way out. I DON'T want to have the image
sent as an attachment (can already do that) but want it in the body of
the email itself.
Cheers
Jeff
This is how the image gets into the richedit:-
i := 0;
while i = 0 do
begin
i := BodyText.FindText('{Other|Photo}', 0, MaxInt, []);
if i = 0 then
begin
BodyText.SelStart := i;
BodyText.SelLength := 13;
with Common.dlgOpenPicture do
begin
InitialDir := Common.GetPreference('Photo Location');
if Execute then
begin
Pict := TPicture.Create;
try
Pict.LoadFromFile(FileName);
BodyText.InsertGraphic(Pict.Graphic, True);
finally
Pict.Free;
end;
end
else break;
end;
end;
end;

[twsocket] Ping stopped working - in fact kills the program first!
Hi I have been making some program changes in the same module as a Ping procedure. On creating the module I now get an error:- Exception EReadError in ... Error reading Ping.OnDnsLookupDone: Invalid property value. In the .dfm module the Ping looks like this :- object Ping: TPing Size = 56 Timeout = 4000 TTL = 64 Flags = 0 OnDnsLookupDone = PingDnsLookupDone Left = 188 Top = 82 end The error goes away if I disconnect the event. I'm not aware of making any change in the Ping area - but I have obviously upset something. I suspect that this has nothing at all to do with ICS - but have no idea what is wrong. Any ideas? Cheers Jeff P.S. Delphi 6 - not sure what version of ICS (can't see a version number anywhere). -- Jeff Cook Aspect Systems Ltd Phone: +64-9-424 5388 Skype: jeffcooknz HYPERLINK http://www.aspect.co.nz/www.aspect.co.nz -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [twsocket] SMTP demo and RichText
Thank you Francois and Arno I'll take your advice and use HTML - for the reasons Francois gave about many email client not supoorting it - but also because I've already solved the problems of converting RTF to HTML for our bulk emails. One downside of doing so is that pretty rich text letters keyed by the user don't always convert into very nice looking HTML (certainly not WYSIWYG) - and I haven't yet addressed the problems of embedded images in the RTF getting converted to HTML. Cheers Jeff P.S. And I think I'd better upgrade ICS to the latest version to see your MailHTML sample -- Jeff Cook Aspect Systems Ltd Phone: +64-9-424 5388 Skype: jeffcooknz www.aspect.co.nz -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Garrels Sent: Tuesday, 16 May 2006 7:22 p.m. To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] SMTP demo and RichText Francois Piette wrote: btw: RTF message is not a very good idea.

[twsocket] SMTP demo and RichText
Hi I'm trying out the MailSnd demo - trying to adapt it to send mail as Rich Text. I've changed the MsgMemo to a TJvRichEdit and have tested by pasting in some rich text - e.g. my sig below is in Comic Sans MS and I can paste this into the message area and retain the font size etc. But when I send the mail to myself, I receive it stripped down to plain text. I've tried changing the ContentType to HTML but it doesn't help (makes it worse by stripping out the CR/LF's. I assume that the problem lies somewhere in procedure TSmtpTestForm.SmtpClientGetData ... but have no idea how to proceed. Is there an easy way? I have got ScroogeXHTML which converts a subset of RTF to HTML - but I really want to be able to email everything in the RichEdit. TIA Jeff P.S. Long time user of ICS but first time user of this elist. P.P.S. Not sure how to tell what version I have - the source seems to be dated 2001-05-19 if that helps - can't see a version number anywhere and I am using Delphi 6 Pro. -- Jeff Cook Aspect Systems Ltd Phone: +64-9-424 5388 Skype: jeffcooknz HYPERLINK http://www.aspect.co.nz/www.aspect.co.nz -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
