URLAccess version history?
URLAccess version history?

I have a Mac Palm conduit that syncs with a server via xmlrpc. This
conduit has to work on 9.2.2 -> the latest OS, so I am using URLAccess
to do the HTTP access. Recently, I upgraded to OS 10.3, and my conduit
stopped working. There are two problems.
(1) Formerly, I had this in my code, because it was the only way I
could get OS 9.2.2 to send a content-length header, and it didn't have
any negative effect on OS 10.2.x:
URLSetProperty(urlRef, kURLHTTPRequestHeader, (void *)
"Content-Length", 14);
However, on OS 10.3, this is generating a malformed content-length
header.
(2) Second, URLAccess previously set the content-type to text/html (no
matter what I tried), but on OS 10.3, it is setting the content-type to
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. My xmlrpc server script isn't
parsing the data properly with that content-type, so on OS 10.3 I need
to set the content-type explicitly.
So, my initial workaround is to check the OS version, and set the URL
properties accordingly:
(void) Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersion, &MacOSVersion);
if(MacOSVersion < 0x1030) {
URLSetProperty(urlRef, kURLHTTPRequestHeader,
(void *) "Content-Length", 14);
} else {
URLSetProperty(urlRef, kURLHTTPRequestHeader,
(void *) "Content-Type: text/xml",
strlen("Content-Type: text/xml"));
}
This works, but I'm wondering if I should instead be checking the
version of URLAccess, not the OS version. Unfortunately, I can't find
any sort of version history for URLAccess on Apple's support or
developer pages. Does anyone know where I might be able to find this
information, or if it is perfectly fine to be looking at the OS version
instead of the URLAccess version?
Thanks.
