A-Shell Development History

Note that these changes are contained within the ASHNET 1.11.162 library update and are not actually dependent on any particular A-Shell version.

Support secure protocols TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 in HTTP.SBR via the new flags:

Symbol

Value

Description

XHTTPF_SSL_TLS11

&h01000000

TLS 1.1 (or higher)

XHTTPF_SSL_TLS12

&h02000000

TLS 1.2 (or higher)

 

Fix problems with the ashnet.log file (XHTTPF_DEBUG) not getting written or released under some circumstances.
Remove 100 character limit on header lines included at the top of the request (using XHTTPF_HDRBODY). Maximum length is now unlimited, which is useful when headers include lengthy signatures or digests.
Append a connection failure code to the XHTTPF_GETSTSTXT return string, as well as the ashnet.log file to assist with debugging failed connections. See the A-Shell Reference > HTTP.SBR > Connection Failure Codes for a listing of the codes and meanings.
