Internet ToolKit (ITK) is an inexpensive yet extremely powerful external for 4th Dimension that allows you to transform any 4D database into an Internet server or client.
ITK can be used in all 4D products to provide complete TCP/IP connectivity for your application.
You can use ITK to implement FTP (File Transfer Protocol) servers, email (using SMTP and POP3), news servers, mailing list, and Web clients. You can even design your own custom TCP/IP protocols, to implement application-to-application communications like data synchronization thanks to its low-level approach.
Utility commands are provided to convert PICT to GIF, encode files using MacBinary, BinHex or uuencode, and to convert text to HTML, with options for URL encoding and ISO character conversions, Base64, Quoted Printable, etc.
ITK adds more than 110 commands to 4th Dimension's language, enabling low and high level control of TCP/IP stacks, including UDP and DNS. |
