152127 - http_client: HTTP result should be reset with new requests

13r3 Service Release 2 (137786)

138475 - Clarified IHTTPClient::Connected function in documentation

True, if the HTTP client is connected, else false. This just reflects the socket connection state and does not mean, that there is not a socket connect already running!
You can use this function for debugging purposes but not for a state machine!

137366 - JS SDK: Add SmtpClient

We added a new library for sending emails from JS app services.

137924 - PostgreSQL: fixed possible deadlock after a DatabaseError with multiple parallel transactions

13r3 Service Release 4 (137818)

141383 - ICommand read/write with unblocking IO

Previously used function fwrite/fread seem to hang in unknown circumstances if the running process crashed/exited.

Now read/write are used instead on non blocking file descriptors to avoid this.

Attributes "api" and src were missing in "UnRegisterResult" message.

142947 - SDK: Fix for logging output for prepared statements

146977 - lib1: Disable usage of alert(), prompt() and confirm() in apps

Those functions display a modal dialog that stop the execution of the whole browser window until the user clicks a button.

Therefore they must never be used in an app. To enforce that, we re-defined those functions to show a warning in the console, instead.

147715 - SDK: Visual Studio plugin: Changed error message for mismatched platform type

And added solution description to the FAQ of the "Getting Started" article.

13r3 Service Release 8 (137877)

Also it is possible to send a request body and receive a response body for all methods, now.

The new functionality is available for both C++ App Serivces using IHTTPClient and JS App Services using HttpClient.

Main improvements in 13r3

131711 - Access Apis as logged-in user, when connecting to App Object

In 13r2 the rights of the app object were used instead of the rights of the logged in user.

Other improvements in 13r3

133436 - Added DNS retry support in HttpClient

If the socket connect to the first DNS resolution fails, the resolved IP address is marked unsuitable and a second DNS resolution is started, which may return a different address (e.g. first one is an IPv6 address and the second an IPv4 address).

If the socket connect to the second address also fails, the HttpClient gives up.

133031 - Added ECDH(E) library innovaphone.crypto.ecdh.js

This new library can be used for ECDH(E) key agreement.

It can be found in /web1/crypto/innovaphone.crypto.ecdh.js.

114351 - Added remAttribute() to ui1 lib

Corresponding to setAttribute(), but to remove a DOM attribute.

131348 - Added str::from_utf16() and str::to_utf16()

New functions for 'class str':

• str::from_utf16() converts a UTF-16 strings into UTF-8
• str::to_utf16() converts UTF-8 string  into UTF-16

127858 - Added time conversion function to str library

to_time_iso8601

to_time_rfc1123

from_time_iso8601

from_time_rfc1123

from_time_rfc1036

from_time_ansi

120586 - AppWebsocketClient: added auto reconnect possibility

You can now enable an automatic reconnect mechanism with exponantial backoff timeout (1s -> 60s) within the Connect call.

You should then implement the new AppWebsocketClientDisconnected

 callback so that your application knows if the client is currently disconnected.

118649 - FileSystem::ChangeMode returned false on success

true is now returned on success

131496 - Fixed IPdfText::AddHTML to not add spaces on \r or \n

The function added a space for a \r or a \n before instead of ignoring the characters.

119753 - Handle server restart in PostgreSQL driver

A server restart may have not been correctly handled and forwarded to the application.

119252 - JavaScriptRuntime: Support for HttpClient.responseHeader after connection is closed

The function did not return header fields, if the TCP connection was already closed.

This makes sense for HTTP 1.1 transfer with Connection: close.

131392 - JS SDK: Added FileSystem library

Only functionality for now:

• FileSystem.readFile

The library is needed for an infrastructural app by innovaphone. It should not be needed for gerneal apps.

131083 - JS SDK: HttpClient: Send GET/DELETE requests without content type

GET and DELETE requests are now sent without a Content-Type header.

133703 - lib1: Make src values created by ApiConsumer.Src globally unique

The src values were "apisrc-1", "apisrc-2", ...

Now they additionally contain a random value, e.g. "apisrc-28bc6ee6-1", "apisrc-28bc6ee6-2", ... 

This adds to the robustness in cases when a consumer is reloaded and restarts without the provider knowing.

127038 - New API: com.innovaphone.autostart

Hidden apps that declare that API are autostarted by the myApps client.

Important: This mechanism is intended for hidden apps that provide services in the background, only. So the autostart is only done in combination with the hidden flag.

135590 - PbxAdminApi: GetNodes, GetGroups, GetBooleans - allow more instead of last

For compatibility with apiSendSrcMorde

121296 - Possibility to use a distinct SIP URI for badge count subscriptions

If AppInfo.presence is set to true, myApps creates a presence subscription to the App Service in order to monitor the badge count.

Now you can also specify a string containg a SIP URI, if the presence subscription should not be done to the app service directly, but to a different endpoint.

135944 - SDK docu: added hint for LIMIT and OFFSET value data types in database library

The value data type must be defined as 64-bit in the prepared statements.

13r3\.git\sdk\common\service\http_client

13r3\.git\

grepWin

132325 - SDK: added PbxAdminApi GetLocation function

The GetLocation function of the PbxAdminApi can be used to retrieve components of the WebSocket URI that can be used to establish a connection to specific PBX.

131707 - SDK: C++ template remove submodules include

Removed unnecessary include for submodules.mak

119529 - SDK: Config library (JavaScript) handling for Access Denied

Prevent "Uncaught TypeError: message.ConfigItems is undefined" if result of GetConfigItems or ConfigWrite was "AccessDenied" 

123814 - SDK: JS Runtime: Possibility to read httpfiles from app service

AppInstance.httpfiles() lists all httpfiles.

AppInstance.httpfile(filename, binary) returns the file content for the given file name.

123803 - SDK: JS Runtime: Support for wildcards in eval array in config.json

You can execute all JS files in a subtree of the httpfiles.zip. This can be done by using wildcards in entries of the javascript.eval array in the config.json.

Example:

eval : [

    "subfolder/*",

    "service.js"

]

112276 - SDK: json_io - protect against messages with too many items

Decoding messages with more items than JSON_MAX_ITEMS led to a trap.

124421 - TCP Socket: accept() with EAGAIN is ok and shouldn't lead to error logs
