tcpcmd Change Notes

1.0B7.2 CHANGE NOTES (8/8/97)

1. Several scripts in the interfaces table were updated to work with the New Improved error handling in NetEvents.

Scripts affected were (all in tcpcmd.interfaces): bufferedGet, bufferedPut, getResponse, sendCommand, tcpRead, tcpWrite.

2. tcpcmd.interfaces.tcpRead (7/10/97)

Was sending a lot of events when using NetEvents during the read loop when reading on slow connection.

Added a 30-tick wait in the loop. This should cut down on the number of calls to NetEvents.

This change has no affect when using the built-in UCMD.

3. tcpcmd.http.getMethodComplex (7/4/97)

Was failing on protected realms (tcpcmd.getProtectedURL) on some servers. Turns out that some servers were case-sensitive on the "Basic" authentication header field.

I changed to the mixed-case as specified in the http spec and all is well now.

4. tcpcmd.sendNews (7/4/97)

New verb lets you post messages to newsgroups! Bare-bones in this version - only string parameters are allowed.

Authorized posting is supported with optional username and password parameters.

5. tcpcmd.nntp (7/4/97)

Added the start of the nntp table. Now, you can build news reader clients in Frontier!

6. tcpcmd.interfaces.getResponse (7/4/97)

Made necessary changes to support NetEvents 1.0 and the return-immediately-if-no-data-pending behavior.
