4D Internet Commands, 64-bit version for OS X

Originally introduced in 4D v14 R4

4D now provides a 64-bit version of 4D Internet Commands for OS X. This version will allow you to use the 4D Internet Commands plug-in on the 4D Server 64-bit version for OS X. For more information, please refer to the 4D Server, 64-bit version for OS X (preview) section.

Installation and use of the 64-bit version of the 4D Internet Commands plug-in for OS X is similar to existing versions, except for the limitations that are listed below.

• The 4D IC 64-bit version must be used with version 14 R3 or higher of the 4D Server 64-bit version for OS X.
• Just like 4D Server, the 64-bit version of 4D IC requires OS X version 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher.

In the 64-bit version of 4D IC for OS X, the length of file names is no longer limited to 62 characters as in existing OS X versions. File names can now be up to 1024 characters, which is the current standard limit for the OS.

The removal of this limitation concerns all commands that handle file names, including FTP, IMAP, MSG, POP, SMTP, and IT commands.

With respect to OS X user interface specificities, the following features are not supported in the 64-bit version of 4D Internet Commands for OS X.

The 4D IC 64-bit version for OS X does not display a progress bar when executing time-consuming operations. The FTP_Progress FTP_Progress command is deprecated in the 64-bit version of OS X.

When called in this environment, the command returns error -2201 (unimplemented feature).

File selector dialog boxes cannot be displayed by the 4D IC 64-bit version plug-in for OS X. With this version, localPath or hostPath parameters are mandatory and must contain valid file paths; otherwise an error -2201 (unimplemented feature) is returned. This syntax concerns all commands that handle file names, including FTP, IMAP, MSG, POP, SMTP, and IT commands.

If you want the user to select files from their computer, we recommend that you call 4D's built-in commands, such as Select document.
