The class library supports:

  • SMTP and POP3 Email support
    SMTP Send Mail capability both in blocking synchronous and asynchronous modes. Support for file attachments, CCs and BCCs, special content types (HTML or XML messages for example) and more. All you need is a mail server to send message through (your ISP's or your own) and off you go. POP3 support provides a separate class to handle mail retrieval with an easy to use interface to retrieving, parsing and managing messages in a POP3 mailbox.
     

  • HTTP - Access Web content from VFP
    Grab any content from the Web using the HTTP protocol. Download files or access HTML pages, submit and drive Web based forms, send XML from client to server and back or build custom distributed front ends (ie. like a SOAP client). HTTP is the key protocol for distributed applications and wwIPStuff includes the wwHTTP class that includes full support for all of the important features of the HTTP protocol including authentication, proxy support, timeouts, SSL/HTTPS encryption, cookies and more. Supports both high level and low level interfaces. The high level interface takes two lines of code to retrieve a Web page into a string or file.
     

  • Advanced HTTP support
    In addition, tools required for efficient HTTP operation are also included such as fast URLEncoding/URLDecoding using fast C code routines, UTF-8 encoding/decoding, binary packaging for DBF files for transfer over HTTP, as well as inclusion of the powerful wwXML class which can be used to convert VFP cursors and objects into XML.
     

  • FTP - Transfer files
    New updated wwFTP class allows for file downloads and uploads. Low and high level methods for simple transfers and control over the connection are supported.

Because wwIPStuff doesn't use the MAPI or CDO Windows components there are no security limitations that these components have to deal with.
