This is a maintenance release of HTTP Client Deux, a 4th Dimension
component that provides a single set of HTTP request methods for use
throughout your 4D projects. Specifically, HTTP Client Deux provides
cross-platform compatibility for all HTTP operations, significantly
simplifying the need for 4D programmers to request remote HTTP and
HTTPS directly from within 4D code. For most requests, it is as simple
as a single method call to retrieve the remote object.

Versions of HTTP Client Deux for 4D v6.7.x, 4D v6.8.x, and 4D v7.0.x
(4D 2003) are available in this release.

There is a full section of the manual that deals with error codes in
HTTP Client Deux, too.

New versions of all the Affix HTTP Client Deux document is also
included.

HTTP Client Deux provides many automation and management functions for
use in writing HTTP request and response processing code. It
automatically handles most of the common operations involved in
managing HTTP communications in 4D.

HTTP Client Deux works "on top" of TCP Deux, another 4D component
available from DSTi. This provides completely transparent operation
with 4D Internet Commands v6.7.x, 4D Internet Commands v6.8.x, 4D
Internet Commands v7.0.x (2003), Internet ToolKit v2.0.x, and Internet
ToolKit v2.5.x; any of these plugins can be used without any coding
changes. The only exception to this is for HTTPS requests to function
properly you must be using a valid copy of ITK Pro v2.5.x or above or
4D Internet Commands v6.8.1 or above.

TCP Deux does require that the BASh 4D component be installed for it
to operate correctly. BASh is a 4D component available for free from
DSTi and it handles all of the core routines needed to properly run
TCP Deux and HTTP Client Deux.

All of the code within the HTTP Client Deux component is ready to use
immediately. There are no compiler issues to be concerned about; all
of the variables are typed in compiler methods for even the most
stringent 4D developers. Just install the component in your structure
and start calling the methods within it. It is really that simple!

It is required that you are using at least TCP Deux v1.0.1 or above.
It is also recommended that you are using BASh v1.6.0 or above, though
this is not a requirement.

Watch for announcements about updates which will become available, as
we are continually working on improving the documentation and adding
new features to the HTTP Client Deux component.
