Troi Automatisering releases URL Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 6

New cross platform plug-in lets you post and retrieve information from the Internet.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, April 1st, 2003--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of the 1.1 version of the Troi URL Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 6.

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 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)

Peter Baanen, company president, states: "Cookies and cross platform HTTPS support were the main features still lacking from Troi URL Plug-in. With this release you can finally have your secure cookies and that's no joke!"

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 (like in Sherlock)
  • get the time of your city

All these features also work in a runtime solution.

What is new in version 1.1?

Troi URL Plug-in 1.1 adds these new functions and features:

  • Added support for cookies. On Mac OS and Mac OS X, this is done through the new TURL-SetCookies function. On Windows cookies are handled automatically by the operating system.
  • Added support for secure connections (HTTPS) using SSL on Windows. (Mac OS already supported HTTPS).
  • (Mac OS only) Fixed a bug which could crash FileMaker, if the URL did not exist and the progress dialog was shown.
  • (Windows only) Fixed a problem where the plug-in would not return all data for a password protected web page.
  • Updated the user guide and example files.

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!
