Folks, I am updating a Delphi legacy application which uses OverbyteIcs. The version is not confirmed but I believe it is v6. The package the legacy Delphi application uses is OverbyteIcsBcb100Package.bpl.
This Delphi app successfully uses HTTPCli to download data via HTTP, and in particular can download data via the NTLM security protocol. I am migrating the Delphi app to C++ and all is well apart from the ability to download data using the HTTPCli with NTLM configured. The old version of the application written in Delphi, which can successfully handle NTLM, uses the following 2 lines when NTLM is in use: ipsHTTPS.UseWinInet := True; ipsHTTPS.ProxyServer := '*' + HTTPProxyUser + '*' + HTTPProxyPass; My latest application written in C++, which cannot handle NTLM, uses the following lines when NTLM is in use: HttpCli->ProxyAuth = httpAuthNtlm; HttpCli->ProxyUsername = HTTPProxyUser; HttpCli->ProxyPassword = HTTPProxyPass; Questions: 1) Should the UseWinInet option be available in the C++ version? 2) Are the '*' used in Delphi version for ProxyServer interpreted by Overbyte or are these characters recognised by MS NTLM? Arno has advised me to update to v7, however I am encountering a number of issues migrating. In particular it surrounds the Record Alignment settings and the necessity for my application to use Byte alignment instead of Word alignment as is the default setting for OverbyteIcsv7. I would prefer to utilise the existing package.
