It stopped working well with CURL 8.10.
I noticed it with my newsletter sender.
Rebuild plugin with newer CURL 8.10.1 and worked again.

Is this relevant to the issue I reported here: MBS 242pr4 CURLS broke my apps - #10 by Christian_Schmitz?

6

No. It was a little regression in CURL, which was fixed quickly.

7

On a working project, my first experience with this pr1 is that I am suddenly getting CURL error 55 on FTP TLS uploads. Also, the newly-created directory names are gobbledygook on the server. This is on Xojo 2024r3.

I’m doing fine on 24.4 till I have time to look at this further.

I had a crash with CurlsMultiMBS from 24.4 downloading some images from the web. This was the first crash in years.

9

Is it only CURLSMultiMBS that has issues in 24.4, and no others (such as CURLSMBS)?

10

I don’t notice any other changes myself. CURL 8.10 had a regression, which was fixed in 8.10.1.

If anyone has an issue with CURL, please send me a sample project via email to check.
So I can see if this may be a bug in curl, a bug in the plugin or a problem in the project.

Do you happen to want to add some interesting ios things like:
NFC ? NFC | Apple Developer Documentation

May I ask you more details on this, please?

For a client the “o” key didn’t work with Swiss keyboard and not with English one.

The dead key handling was wrong and we unintentionally made the o a ø which caused it to fail.

Possible, but not sure how big interest is.

I remember having dealt with this bug myself (since I always use Swiss keyboards) several years ago.
At that time, I thought it was a bug in Mac OS or in my code (the app would receive keystrokes from a remote computer (Mac OS, Windows or Linux), translate them for Mac OS and simulate pressing them).
Since the “o” key didn’t work, I assumed the conversion didn’t work. It really was a mess and I stacked workarounds up to making an unreliable puzzling code. I’m happy to read where the bug was, so I’ll take a look to simplify my overcomplicated code!
