Plugin Update – HTTP POST, Base64, preferences, zips and more
We’ve finalised the set of features to be included in the next update to our free FileMaker plugin. This one includes :
- Changes to the SQL library to work with the new SQL API on FileMaker Pro 11 and later. This has more options and allows for a more robust feature set from now on.
- Changed the url functions to do HTTPS as well as HTTP.
- Two new functions to get and set preferences inside files in the user’s folder.
- HTTP Post on top of the HTTP Get function. Plus additional functionality with this to set and retrieve headers and other result codes.
- An Open file function.
- Ability to zip and unzip files from within FileMaker.
- An optional starting folder for the select file and select folder functions.
- An encoding function to specify the encoding type, you can select any of these : http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
- Improved error handling
- Base64 encoding and decoding
