Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands, March 20, 2019–Troi today announced the immediate availability of Troi URL Plug-in 6.0 for FileMaker 17.

What is Troi URL Plug-in?

Troi URL Plug-in can help you fill in forms on internet, all from FileMaker Pro. It also retrieves data or images from web sites.

• use the POST command to fill in a web form and retrieve the result directly in FileMaker Pro
• use the GET command to retrieve data
• use the PUT command to to transfer files or upload data to web servers
• use the DELETE command to delete items on web servers
• use a secure connection (HTTPS) using SSL
• get access to password protected web pages, including web services that require OAuth authorization
• get JPEG, PNG and GIF images directly into a container field
• specify cookies and proxy server settings
• send tweets to Twitter with ease!

What is new in version 6.0?

We rewrote Troi URL Plug-in for FileMaker 17 and it now has the following new functionality:

• Tested and made compatible with FileMaker Pro 17.0.4.
• Added new TURL_AuthorizeWithCallbackScript function, which lets a user authorize Troi URL Plug-in to use a web service, for example Twitter. After authorization a script is triggered with a script parameter which contains the access token and secret. By storing these you can then use the web service (like sending a tweet). Currently this is a macOS only function.
• (Windows) Added code signing to the plug-in for Windows. (On macOS code signing was already added in version 5.0).
• The plug-in now indicates if an external script step is compatible with a product. The step is shown in grey if it is incompatible for that product (for example for iOS) in the script editing pane (center) and the script steps pane (right).
• (macOS) Prepared the plug-in for notarization: the plug-in can now be added to a runtime, to create a hardened FileMaker runtime app which can be notarized by Apple. Notarization gives users more confidence, as the runtime has been checked by Apple for malicious components.
• Modernized the code, made small bug fixes and updated the User Guide and example files.
• IMPORTANT (macOS only) The minimum supported FileMaker version is now FileMaker Pro 14. Also the minimum supported Mac OS version is now OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). You can keep using v5.x for older versions of FileMaker Pro or Mac OS X.
• (macOS) The plug-in no longer has the 32-bit code included.
