• ANNOUNCE: TCLWS 3.4 with flexibility on -host server option

    From Harald Oehlmann@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 18 15:52:24 2021
    Dear TCL Team,

    please allow me to announce TCLWS release 3.4.0, available at:

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tclws

    TCLWS is the SOAP Web Service client and server TCL-only package.

    I use it to communicate with common ERP-Systems (SAP, MS-Dynamics) which
    works great. Due to that usage, the embedded server mode got most love
    the last releases.

    Another annoying drawback for embedded server mode was approached in
    this release:
    The -host parameter was used as the XML namespace of the exchanged
    documents and as access location and defaulted to the current IP. If the current IP changed (WLAN change, network loss), the XML namespace
    changed which resulted in empty received data.
    With this release, the -host parameter is split-up into multiple
    parameters separating the two usages.
    There is a compatibility mode (default), to keep the original behaviour,
    so any old system should still work.
    I only test with the embedded server.

    Another bug introduced with TWAPI TLS support in embedded server was
    also fixed.

    May I also write about the open points I will not address:
    - test on the other servers: tclhttp, wub, wibble, channel. Anything not
    tested does not work ;-)
    - documentation and usage of the -version option I found in Androwish
    but are a mystery to me.
    - documentation and usage of the JSON return option, which is also a
    mystery to me.
    - any still open ticket. I have closed all general or outdated tickets
    today.

    Thank you and take care,
    Harald
