This announcement is for the release of v2.9 of the www package.


Changes in this release

- Follow how most browsers handle 302 redirects for POST operations, rather
than the impractical requirements specified in RFC 2068.
- New option to specify the file name for a multipart/form-data argument.
- TLS 2.0 compatibility.
- Correct missed requirement for the Sec-WebSocket-Key header value.
- Fix handling of fragmented messages on a websocket connection.
- Run websocket tests against a local test server, if available, to reduce
dependence on unreliable public test servers.


Description

The www package provides an easy way to access web resources.
Key features of the package are:
- Fully scripted, no compilation required.
- Commands directly return the requested data without the need to deal with
tokens or cleanup.
- Simple error handling. All failures to complete a requested operation are
signaled using the normal error reporting mechanisms.
- Metadata is made available using return options.
- Cookies, redirects, retries, and challenge-response authentication are all
handled automatically.
- Built-in proxy support. The package will process pac files using duktape,
if available. Otherwise a simple js to Tcl conversion is attempted.
- Coroutine aware. When running in a coroutine, commands will yield when
waiting for data to arrive.
- Completely non-blocking operation, even during name resolution.
- Sub-modules are provided to support client side WebSockets and HTTP/2.

Great work, Schelte!
I would love to see this package as replacement for the core package, as
it cleans-up a lot of issues and makes usage much easier.

Thanks for all,
Harald

Since you posted this link I cannot reached this site, I have the message
"This site canrCOt be reached, ... ERR_CONNECTION_RESET". But when I
use the VPN (Proton VPN) included in Vivaldi browser , I can reach it, the VPN server being then in Netherlands.
My IP is something like ii-iii-iii-ii.mobile.fr.orangecustomers.net and is not a fixed IP. Looking up IP location for chiselapp.com give USA as country.

Is anyone else encountering the same problem ?

Thanks

Yes. A few other people have also reported they cannot reach
chiselapp.com. As a work-around I have published a copy of my repository
at https://www.tclcode.com/repo/www/
Although that site is also hosted in the USA, it seems to be reachable
for people having trouble accessing chiselapp.com.
