Thank you. Must have been some old junk laying around somewhere. Cleaned out old files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0 and eventually got everything to install... so far so good! Although my 64-bit app builds are crashing (32-bit works)... but I don't think it's an ICS issue.... time to figure that out now... it's always something, especially with C++Builder. 🙂

Was able to download 8.70 (Delphi 11 only)... but I'm trying to install in Delphi 11.2 (with all C++ Builder files generated because that's what I use) and I'm getting errors: [dcc32 Error] OverbyteIcsSslHttpOAuth.pas(897): E2251 Ambiguous overloaded call to 'IcsShellExec'. Searched for IcsShellExec in the forum and came up with nothing.

Awesome, thanks. But the download the link is not working... any ideas why? A temporary issue I hope.

I "played" with it briefly but had to move on to other things. Never got it to work. Maybe I'll try again and spend more time on it when I eventually upgrade to Rad Studio 11... or by some "magic" maybe they will fix C++ Code Insight in 11 and I won't have to waste time on it..

Great, thank you for the fix.

I am not sure I understand. I have never used any certificate checking. If I request https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-atomic directly, then it works fine. If there is a redirect to that URL, then I get a 400 error.... I'm thinking because it's not removing the fragment part (#aria-atomic).

Sorry about that. Please try https://www.htmlvalidator.com/help.php?h=aria-atomic&m=6 instead of https://www.htmlvalidator.com/help.php?h=aria-atomic&m=6 The "&" should be "&". Not sure if that was my mistake or something trying to be smart and converting the "&" to "&" when I copy and pasted the link. Thanks.

Trying to download a URL with TSslHttpCli. URL is: https://www.htmlvalidator.com/help.php?h=aria-atomic&m=6 Which redirects to: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-atomic Which results in a "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request". I think the 400 is because TSslHttpCli is not removing the fragment (#aria-atomic) when it is requesting the redirected URL. Real browsers work fine. Is this a bug?

Well, you wouldn't be able to detect some issues but a URL/percent encoding checker that would check for invalid encoding like when there is % that is not followed by two hexadecimal digits, and of course if there is that invalid space character. Possibly also detect encoded control characters like %00-%1F. I may have already written something like this a while back (I have to check as I can't remember for sure) but I thought that a function like this might already be in ICS. Not a big issue but perhaps something to consider.

Thanks.... I'll start there and see if I can finally get it to work. If anyone else has any other ideas or resources then please share. Also, I'm still interested if it works for anyone here for any "real world" project.

Doesn't even work for me... it just says "CodeInsight: Stopped". Does Code Insight even work for any C++ users with "real-world" projects?

Every time I update I hold out a little hope that Code Insight will start working again for my real-world C++ projects. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened in years. When I hit Ctrl+Space, it very briefly changes the mouse pointer but does nothing. In the "Projects" Tool Window, there's a "Code Insight Activity" bar. What the heck is that suppose to do? Mine seems to always show "CodeInsight: Stopped". Is there a link that explains everything to check for in order to get Code Insight to work in C++? For example, all the requirements for it to work... and things to avoid that might break it. And it would be extremely useful if there was some way to see any messages that "Code Insight" might generating as to why it is failing. Also, if anyone has a real-world C++ project and Code Insight actually works for you, then please let me know. I'm curious if it works for anything other than tiny demo apps.

Thanks. I've updated and it fixes the issue I mentioned. As you suggested, I'm also using onHeaderData to get the "raw" location URL (before encoding fixes/changes)... and basically throwing a warning if a location change URL contains a space character. While I have your attention... is there a quick "ICS" way/function to check a URL to see if there are any encoding issues with it? Right now I'm only checking for space characters (very basic).

Well, I'm not sure how you are handling this... but when there was a location change to "https://www.htmlvalidator.com/test/contains space.txt" it looks like it encoded the URL to "https://www.htmlvalidator.com/test%2Fcontains%20space.txt", so it fixed the space character but broke the '/' character. Perhaps you should just change space characters to %20?

Hello, I downloaded the latest SVN and it looks like the major issue with the link checker stalling is fixed so thank you very much! A minor issue... it looks like you're fixing the space character in location redirections which I think (in general) is a good idea but because I want my link checker to report issues and errors to the user, is there a way to detect that this fix/correction was done so I can report it to the user?
