Product Description

Using the Clever Internet Suite you can add instant SSL / TLS / SSH security to your Internet applications and implement many useful Internet-related features:

  • Download and upload files over HTTPS.
  • Post JSON data.
  • REST SOAP client with WSS data protection.
  • Send and retrieve Emails with DKIM signatures.
  • HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP and NNTP client / server components.
  • SFTP client with public-key authorization.
  • OAUTH 2.0 authorization, and many more.

In this new Version 9.6 we have improved the HTTP RIO functionality, added new cryptographic keys and algorithms. The SFTP component was improved, as well.
We have fixed some existing problems with digital signatures and 64bit support in the SSH engine. See the complete change list below.

Starting from the version 8.0 the library was split on design-time and runtime packages. Starting from now, the components can be used by RAD Studio form designer in 64-bit projects.
The basic socket components were replaced and improved. The class inheritance was changed. Please see the Help documentation for more details.
The Help documentation is included in the Clever Internet Suite installation and also available at our website: Clever Internet Suite downloads

  • Fixed bug in the Http client component when working with the HTTP CONNECT proxy.
  • The HttpProxy component hangs when disconnecting from a host - fixed.
  • Fixed bugs in the HttpRequest component when parsing multipart MIME requests.
  • The HttpRequest component caused AV when working in a thread - fixed.
  • Fixed bugs in the SFTP component when downloading and uploading large files.
  • The Invalid signature error was fixed in the SFTP component when downloading and uploading files of specific size.
  • Other minor fixes.

Known problems and restrictions

  • FTP client and server - data connection uses IpV4 protocol only.
  • Socks5 firewall - supports IpV4 only.
  • The HTTP RIO component is available only starting from Delphi 2005 / C++Builder 2006.
  • The SOAP encryption is available only on Win32 platform.
