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!
