What’s going on with Chilkat support today….
1. Encountered SMTP response of “503: Bad sequence of commands”. Would need to see the contents of MailMan.LastErrorText for the call to SendEmail, and also the MailMan.SmtpSessionLog. It’s likely a case where the server does not handle SMTP pipelining, and the MailMan.SmtpPipelining property would need to be set to false. SMTP pipelining is a way to reduce the number of round-trips (send message, get response) needed to send an email.
2. Investigating claim that in PureBasic,the call to CkDateTime::ckGetAsTimestamp(DateTime, bLocal) crashes with a “Invalid memory access error”, but only on MacOS and MacOS M1. We suspect a wild goose chase here, but we’ll check it out anyway… (Yes, it was a wild goose chase. Everything tested to be fine.)
3. Helping to create/send signed SOAP XML message to TenneT web services (http://sys.svc.tennet.nl/Nominations/sendSchedule) The best way to solve such a
4. Investigating claim that a PDF signed using this code (in Python) results in a signed PDF where the signature is not visible. Found out the customer was viewing the signed PDF in Chrome, which for some reason does not show the signature. However, in Acrobat the signature is visible and appears OK. Also tested in FireFox: Appears OK. Tested in Microsoft Edge: The PDF signature does not show. In summary: Acrobat and Firefox show PDF signatures OK, Chrome and Edge do not.
5. If a PFX fails to load with the error “Unexpected ASN.1 (3)”, it is because the application atempted to load the binary DER for an X.509 certificate instead of the binary DER for a PKCS12/PFX. Chilkat was updated to automatically detect the X.509 DER format and load it without error. Thus, a call to Cert.LoadPfxFile, or CertStore.LoadPfxData, etc. will still work even if a standalone X.509 cert is passed in.
