Major Changes in '''ICS V8.70''' include:
+
Changes in '''ICS V9.3''' include:
  
−
#V8.70 has various minor improvements providing better compatibility with modern compilers such as more unicode overloads to avoid ANSI string warnings and casts, and more use of TBytes to avoid ANSI strings. Updated various samples to use TIcsRestEmail to support OAuth2 authentication for GMail and Outlook that no longer allow old authentication protocols.
+
#V9.3 continues the simplification of use of ICS components by consolidating many types and constants into the OverbyteIcsTypes unit, avoiding projects needing to find and add specific units before they will build.  For XE2 and later, OverbyteIcsTypes and OverbyteIcsSslBase will be added automatically when components needing them are dropped on a form, or that form accessed for existing projects.  One benefit of this change is removing dependence on several units for many components and applications, it should be possible to remove OverbyteIcsWinsock, OverbyteIcsLIBEAY, OverbyteIcsSSLEAY and OverbyteIcsLogger from most applications, and also other units. See https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Updating_projects_to_V9.3 for more information.
−
#The TIcsFileCopy, TIcsFtpMulti and TIcsHttpMulti file transfer components now support file zipping and unzipping using System.Zip in recent Delphi compilers, instead of the obsolete VclZip which is no longer available. Before a file copy or FTP upload, files may be automatically zipped, useful for large log files, after a file copy, FTP or HTTP download, files may be unzipped in various ways.   
+
# Previously, the Windows Certificate Store was supported on Windows for all components and samples, despite it not always being required. There are three new defines {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Clients}, {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Servers} and {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Tools) that determine which components can use the store, at least one must be set or applications that need the store will fail. Although these new defines all default to enabled in the OverbyteIcsDefs.inc supplied with V9.3 and later, unless this file is installed, Windows Certificate Store will be unavailable.  These defines are disabled for non-Windows platforms and for C++ Builder which has bugs.
−
#Added support to TIcsFileCopy to copy file names longer than 259 characters by adding \\?\ to the start of long names passed to Windows APIs, if supported by the disk file system, unicode APIs only. Fixed a problem deleting empty directories after copying. Fixed a problem with BuildDirList2 with COMPILER16_UP.
+
#Added new application independent monitoring, comprising a client component and server sample.  The ICS Application Monitor TIcsAppMonCli client component is designed to report to an ICS Application Monitor server, which will ensure the main application remains running.  The ICS Application Monitor server IcsAppMon.exe is designed to monitor ICS applications using the TIcsAppMonCli client component, and ensure they remain running, restarting the application if it stops or becomes non-responsive, or on demand. Primarily to keep ICS server Windows services running non-stop, but may also be used for network wide monitoring of ICS applications. Client and server both use the TIcsIpStrmLog component with a simple TCP protocol.  More information at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ_ICS_Application_Monitoring
−
#The OverbyteIcsXferTst sample has a new tabs, 'Single File Copy' to test the CopyOneFile method and 'Zip/Unzipping Files' to test zipping and unzipping that has always been supported by the components but not this demo.
+
#The HTTP client components TSslHttpCli and TSslHttpRest have new RespMimeType and RespCharset response properties parsed from the Content-Type header to avoid applications needing to parse this headers.  Fixed a problem in V9.2 where a missing / was added to the start of the request path, but was not needed for absolute paths used for proxies.
−
#Allow content compression for HTTP and FTP using System.Zlib in newer versions of Delphi instead of the OverbyteIcsZLibObj unit to avoid duplication. Only Delphi 11.1 and later have the same ZLIB 1.2.12 as ICS, so will automatically used System.Zip.  Beware a new version of OverbyteIcsDefs.inc is required to allow ZLIB to work correctly, otherwise it will default to using the DLL which is unlikely to be available, it is not in the distribution. So either install the new inc file and customise it, or copy the ZLIB changes to your own inc file.
+
#The TIcsIpStrmLog streaming log component has improvements for TCP Server mode when multiple remote clients connect. Previously the same data was sent to all remote clients (the original concept being remote logging), but now applications can send data to specific remote clients, and more easily check which remote client is receiving data. This change means TIcsIpStrmLog can be used as the core of many TCP servers with different protocols, such as the new IcsAppMon sample, see above.
−
#In TWsocket, added ReceiveTB(var Data : TBytes; MaxLen : Integer = -1): Integer; where MaxLen is optional, to receive TCP data into a TBytes dynamic array of bytes. Also ReceiveFromTB and ReceiveFrom6TB for UDP datagrams. The last release added similar SendTB functions, so buffer pointers and ANSI strings can now be avoided.  
+
#The TSslHttpRest and component has a new way for applications to check SSL certificate chains themselves, ignoring OpenSSL bundle checks, usually for self signed private certificates, maybe checking certificate serials, names or public key. If LogSslVerMethod = logSslVerOwnEvent, a new event OnSslCertVerifyEvent is called so the application can check the chain and change the verify result appropriately.
−
#Added UTF-8 support to TIcsIpStrmLog, to convert received lines from UTF-8 to Unicode with unicode compilers (as String) and converts sent data to UTF-8. Changed FRxBuffer to TBytes, use SendTB and ReceiveTB methods with TBytes.  
+
#Improved the ability to customise SSL ciphers if the ICS defaults need to be changed. TSslContext and TIcsHosts have three properties, SslCipherList for TLSv12 ciphers, SslCipherList13 for TLSv13 ciphers, and SslCryptoGroups sets the cipher curve groups allowed (like P-256 or X25519).  Beware old SslContexts may include group P-512 which must be corrected to T-521.  SSL handshake responses now show the curve group used for OpenSSL 3.2 and later. The OverbyteIcsHttpsTst client sample may be used to test the new cipher options, and they will be read from IcsHosts INI files for servers.
−
#Updated OpenSSL to 3.0.7 and 1.1.1s.  OpenSSL 3.0.6 was withdrawn shortly after  release, we never distributed it.
+
#Added a new web server sample OverbyteIcsBasicWebServer1.dpr which is a simplified version of OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ ignoring configuration INI files, security features, session data, most demo pages and most logging, and settings for localhost set in code, search for IcsHosts to change IP addresses, etc. This sample should be easier to use as a basis for new web server applications.  The existing samples OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ and OverbyteIcsDDWebService have a new index.html template page, and default to localhost 127.0.0.1 with an internal localhost SSL certificate, so should always response to https://localhost/ without any INI file changes.
−
#In OverbyteIcsSslHttpOAuth, added an OAuth2 and Rest Email Microsoft User Authority property to access different user authorities, defaults to 'consumers' but can be changed to 'common' or an Azure Active Directory tenant GUID for corporate accounts.
+
#Fixed an HTTP web server problem in V9.2 to avoid repeated redirection for virtual default page /, was adding /// etc.
−
#Added TIcsRestEmail to support OAuth2 authentication to the OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ, OverbyteIcsSslMultiFtpServ and OverbyteIcsDDWebService samples, since GMail and Outlook that no longer allow old authentication protocols.  
+
#Updated OpenSSL binary and resource files to releases 3.3.2, 3.2.3 and 3.0.15, only one of which will be linked according to defines.
−
#In the TIcsInetAlive component, added a new method AliveMethEither so internet alive checking works if either ping or HTTP works, instead of one or the other.
+
#Restored the sample OverbyteIcsConHttp.dpr which is a console example, now supports SSL by replacing THttpCli with TSslHttpRest, no longer needs any events or a message loop for a single sync request, so a less code than without SSL. Now contacts https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki.
 +
#A lot of changes have been made preparing ICS for Linux.  Corrected loading OpenSSL on Posix, now loads the system supplied OpenSSL 3 DLLs on Ubuntu 22.04. The Linux package now builds correctly, but beware WSocket is not yet supported on Linux so no protocols will work. There is a new IcsPemTest FMX sample that works on Ubuntu 22.04 and which will create ICS signed SSL certificates.  Note, MacOS support is disabled pending the new Posix implementation.

Changes in '''ICS V9.2''' include:
  
−
Major Changes in '''ICS V8.69''' include:
+
#V9.2 is a minor release, fixing a few issues introduced in the last major release, and other bugs located since. There are no breaking or installation changes from V9.1, but if updating from earlier releases please read https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/Updating_projects_to_V9.1
 +
#TIcsMailQueue can now queue a prepared EML file created by another application, or perhaps received by the SMTP Server.  Added optional SkipEmpty argument to StartMailQu method so queue is not started unless there are pending emails waiting to be sent. The sample has 'Send Prepared EML File' to queue an existing EML file rather then preparing email with properties.
 +
#Improved email MIME decoding by supporting embedded boundaries, usually for multipart/alternative parts, within a multipart/mixed message, using code written 20 years ago but suppressed for some reason.  Previously these parts were sometimes left encoded within a part. There is a new property LooseRFC to allow decoding if the boundaries in the body are missing the two required hyphens, usually because the boundary also begins with hyphens. TMimeDecodeEx should now always return the body if no MIME parts are found, and TPartInfo has PLevel which is Part Level, and PInfo which is displayable part information for logs.  The MimeDDemo sample has various improvements to test these features.
 +
#Fixed a nasty Win64 problem reading EC certificates from the Windows Store, which may have caused server crashes, also reproducible in the PemTool listing the Windows Store.  This was due to Win64 bad initialisation of a buffer used for a Crypto API call that failed.
 +
#The HTTP client now check the URL always has / at start of the path, ie add it for test.com?query.  In the REST client, added a sanity check for RawParameters to encode any spaces, which can break the HTTP request.  After a file download completed, check actual file size against response size. The multipart/form-data MimeBoundary no longer includes extra -- at start that are required preceding boundaries within parts, some web servers may have  been unable to decode our MIME encoding.
 +
#The HTTP server has a new method AnswerRedirect for various redirection responses to a new URL. When accessing the default document in a path without a trailing path delimited /, redirect using 301 to the correct path with delimiter instead of adding it locally and displaying the document which will then incorrectly link to pages in a higher level directory. Using the THttpOption hoAddMissPath redirects if the default document is missing perhaps a template or virtual document. Fixed a bug where authenticated POST/PUT requests always returned a 404 error. Added AnswerBodyTB client response with TBytes binary, similar to AnswerString, tested in the sample by supporting favicon.ico request.  Check if the request HTTP version gets corrupted due to spaces in the URL, which are not allowed.  The SslMultiWebServ sample has new web pages to test POST/PUT and template authentication.
 +
#TSslX509Certs has a new function CertResetDomain to reset a certificate order state to None, if the order process stalls or gets confused due to errors. If AcmeV2StartChallgs fails because there are no pending challenges, reset to order to None so it starts again next time and does not loop.
 +
#ICS not longer tries to load OpenSSL RAND_screen function that may be missing from recent DLLs.
 +
#TIcsHttpMulti fixes a bug introduced in V8.66 that stopped the application setting authentication, rather than adding it to the URL, and a Win64 free stream bug.
 +
#TIcsIpStrmLog correctly counts failed client connection attempts if ping is not used first to check the remote IP address. The sample has a new client Retry Attempts box to test this.
 +
#Updated the Snippets sample to use authentication to access some the hardcoded URLs, which started failing after authentication was added to test web server bugs (see above).
 +
#Added OverbyteIcsHttpThrd sample to show how to use TSslHttpRest component in a multi-threaded program.
 +
#Improved Posix support for Linux and Android, not tested or supported yet.  Beware SSL does not correctly load for Posix at the moment.
 +
#Added support for a new feature release of OpenSSL 3.3 with {$DEFINE OpenSSL_33} in the Defs.inc file, ICS includes  new versions of the active versions, 3.3.1, 3.2.2 and 3.0.14, but no longer includes 3.1 since there are two newer feature versions.
 +
#Updated the 'ICS Intermediate Short' SSL certificates, used by ICS to generate temporary server certificates to allow SSL servers to run until a Let's Encrypt or commercial certificate is installed. It now expires after 200 days, 21st December 2024, after which self signed certificates will be used instead, unless a newer 'short' is installed.
 +
#Only Delphi 10.41  and 10.42 (10.4 with updates 1 or 2) will install correctly with the new install packages, the original RTM version does not support the package LIB suffix: $(Auto) so you must change it manually for each package to 21.0.

#Major Changes in ICS V8.69 include:
+
Major Changes in '''ICS V9.1''':
−
#V8.69 has a lot of minor improvements, more HTTP client and server features, better built-in authentication, and added built in file uploading to the REST client component. Also continuing improving all the HTTP samples so they now hopefully test all the features of the ICS HTTP server, specifically adding POST and PUT file uploading,  and a new client login window for interactive authentication with servers.  Also added OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) to ICS, which is used to check SSL/TLS certificates are legitimately issued and not revoked.
 
−
#In the HTTP client, added new methods RequestAsync and RequestSync which start a specified request by parameter, useful to repeat the last request from an event (such as should be trust the certificate and repeat). When using a proxy, make sure Path is not blank which will break proxies, change to / as for non-proxy requests.  GetRequestDoneErrorStr now handles TWsocket errors. Fixed NTLM authentication which got broken in V8.61.  Added a new THttpAuthType of httpAuthDigest2 for Digest with the modern SHA-256 algorithm instead of MD5 used by httpAuthDigest, only with USE_SSL. Added new property WWWAuthInfos array filled after 401/407 failure by parsing AuthorizationRequest headers for AuthType and Realm that may be presented to select an authentication option, get login and repeat request. Remove # fragment anchor rom the URL unless the new Option httpoAllowAnchor is set.
 
−
#In the HTTP REST client, added built in file uploading using POST or PUT. The file name is specified in HttpUploadFile using type HttpUploadStrat ofHttpUploadSimple with parameters in the URL or HttpUploadMIME for multipart with parameters in the first MIME part. Note the applications needs to supply parameters like FileName so the server knows what to do with the file. This may be tested against the ICS web server samples.  Upon request completion, ReasonPhrase now also has status, so OK becomes 200 OK, etc.  Previously the SslRevocation property was only effective when checking the windows certificate store, now it also works with bundle files using the new TOcspHttp component and OCSP stapling if available.
 
−
#In the HTTP server component, now converting FLastModified to UTC/GMT time for the response header.  Added new authentication type atDigestSha2 with a SHA256 hash instead of MD5 with atDigest only supported with USE_SSL. Note: Mozilla Firefox supports Digest SHA-256, Chrome and Edge do not. Added a new client connection OnHttpRespHdr event to allow response headers to be logged, previously only request headers could be logged.  Cleaned up AnswerStream functions so separate lines don't go into send buffer. Added OcspSrvStapling property which should be set to enables OCSP checks and stapling only with AUTO_X509_CERTS define since it adds extra HTTP client code. A revoked certificate will be auto ordered.
 
−
#In TWSocket, added new method SendTB(const Data: TBytes; Len: Integer=-1) where Len is optional, also similar SendToTB and SendToTB6 with TBytes, as an alternative to casting such types to use Send(). Restored the TlsExtension_cb callback for client debugging since ClientHelloCallback only works with servers.
 
−
#In TSslWSocketServer added OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) support with IcsHosts using the TOcspHttp component to confirm server SSL/TLS certificates are legitimate and not revoked for security reasons. The certificate OCSP response is also stapled to the initial SSL/TLS HELO handshake and sent to the client to avoid it needing to lookup OCSP using HTTP itself. OCSP responses are cached and saved to a file for reloading later, but are refreshed every time the certificate is validated, at least once a day. The new server property OcspSrvStapling enables OCSP checks and stapling only with AUTO_X509_CERTS define since it adds extra HTTP client code. A revoked certificate will be auto ordered.  OCSP checking is done in LoadOneCert and the stapled response sent in TriggerSslServerName when checking SNI.  The same OCSP support is available in all ICS servers that use IcsHosts, including FTP, HTTP and TIcsIpStrmLog.
 
−
#All three main HTTP SSL client sample applications FrameBrowserIcs, OverbyteIcsHttpsTst and OverbyteIcsHttpRestTst now support interactive authentication with a new Login window that displays the different methods the server will accept (from the new property WWWAuthInfos array) allowing one to be selected from Basic, Digest MD5, Digest SHA256 and NTLM logins. This window is displayed after an 401 error and the request then repeated.
 
−
#The OverbyteIcsHttpsTst SSL sample now has all the missing features from the non-SSL samples, Content Encoding Gzip tick box to support compression, persistent cookie support, POST/PUT support to either send simple data or upload files in various ways (from OverbyteIcsHttpPost1 sample), may be tested against the ICS web server samples.
 
−
#The OverbyteIcsDDWebService SSL web server sample now builds on unicode compilers. Added authentication for POST requests and new 'Password protected page (POST)' button on the demo menu to test authentication using POST. Fixed web logging to log correct multiple listener.  Builds on unicode compilers. Added Digest SHA-256 authentication page DemoDigest2Auth.html and DemoDigestsAll.html that does both digests.  DemoAuthAll.html no longer does NTLM, use the separate page. Now displays server response headers if box ticked, only displayed request headers before. File Upload Form and Email Form pages now work without exceptions.  The OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ SSL web sample has similar new authentication features and logging fixes.
 
−
#Updated OpenSSL to 3.0.3 and ZLIB (HTTP compression) to 1.2.12, sorry for long delay in updating zlib, now including some important bug fixes, although never saw  any issues with the minimal use ICS makes of it.  Updated the various ICS CA Trusted Stores.
 
−
#The OverbyteIcsPemtool SSL sample now does OCSP checks when examining certificate files.  There is also a new Test Host Certificates tab that tests SSL/TLS handshake and certificates (using TIcsIpStrmLog) for a list of host names and  ports, building a list of host and intermediate certificates that may be further checked and saved as files or added to an intermediate bundle. This new tester should prove useful for debugging sites that return SSL or certificate errors.

+
Although ICS V9.1 does not contain any new components, there are many other SSL/TLS changes that will affect existing applications, but make ICS easier to use and support for the future.
  
−
Major Changes in '''ICS V8.68''' include:
+
#Delphi 10.4 and later now use the same install groups and packages, IcsInstallFmx, IcsInstallVcl and IcsInstallVclFmx, making support a lot easier. Version specific groups remain for Delphi 10.3 and earlier, with new groups D(X)InstallVcl for VCL only replacing the old OverbyteIcs(X) groups, again to simplify support. Dozens of old packages have been removed for this release, so please delete all old groups and packages before installing V9.1, to avoid a mix of old and new packages.  Only C++ 10.4 and later are now supported, but untested.
 +
#The old samples directory has gone and many of the older and little used samples have been archived to a separate download.  The active samples used to test and demonstrate all ICS components are now split into the following paths, in the ICS root directory: All these samples can now be built for Win32 and Win64 platforms.
 +
##demos-delphi-vcl - 45 VCL samples for Windows.
 +
##demos-delphi-extra - four VCL samples that need third party components to build.
 +
##demos-delphi-fmx - seven FMX samples for Windows, not yet tested on MacOS.
 +
##demos-cpp-vcl - all old C++ samples that have not been tested for 10 years, need help.
 +
##demos-data - data files for samples, such as web pages.
 +
#To ease development, linking and future support, some new units have been added by splitting existing units with multiple components, unfortunately this means many existing projects will need one or more of the new units adding to their uses section.  Apologies for the pain, but this should have been done a long time ago.  The main change is splitting out much of the SSL/TLS related code from the massive OverbyteIcsWSocket unit to a new unit OverbyteIcsSslBase.
 +
#Distribution of the ICS OpenSSL files has changed.  Earlier ICS versions required the OpenSSL DLLs to be distributed with applications, and a root CA bundle file to verify SSL/TLS connections, and these needed to be loaded using code.  There was little standardisation over where the OpenSSL DLLs were located, applications tended to keep their own copies alongside other executables, leading to multiple DLL copies and needing the public variable GSSL_DLL_DIR set to a specific directory before OpenSSL was loaded.  Likewise, root CA bundle directories had to be distributed with applications and loaded with code. ICS V9.1 allows five different ways of loading OpenSSL: Which method ICS uses to load OpenSSL depends upon several defines in the .\Source\Include\OverbyteIcsDefs.inc file, please see the readme9.txt file for details. ICS currently includes resource files for three different OpenSSL releases, 3.0`13. 3.1.5 and 3.2.1, which version is linked is controlled by a define. If the OpenSSL DLLs are linked into the application, they are extracted to a version subdirectory, ie C:\ProgramData\ICS-OpenSSL\3012\ so different applications can use different OpenSSL versions.  This happens only once if the files have not already been extracted.  When updating existing projects without using any new defines, the ICS old behaviour of methods 3, 4 and 5 above remain with no changes needed.
 +
##DLLs linked into application as resource files
 +
##DLLs loaded from common directory C:\ProgramData\ICS-OpenSSL\
 +
##OpenSSL DCU linked into application using commercial YuOpenSSL
 +
##DLLs loaded from location specified in public variable GSSL_DLL_DIR
 +
##DLLs loaded according to path, may be found anywhere on PC
 +
#A common IcsSslRootCAStore component is now created at application start-up, to avoid different components needing their own CA stores to verify SSL/TLS certificates, and for applications to load those stores.  The three different CA stores included with ICS are now supplied as resource files, with a define determining which is linked into applications.Another define causes OpenSSL and this store to be loaded at application startup, so OpenSSL is available for allcomponents, without it needing to be loaded again, perhaps repeatedly.  Without new defines, a CA Store can be loaded manually into IcsSslRootCAStore. The ICS servers use CA Stores now use IcsSslRootCAStore and no longer load any files specified.
 +
#All SSL/TLS servers need a certificate and private key to start, even when testing.  Previously ICS supplied some self signed certificates for testing, and also created such certificates automatically if they were missing or if the server was about to order a Let's Encrypt certificate.  Accessing such servers for testing using browsers raised various warnings.ICS now has it's own SSL root certificate 'ICS Root CA' and two intermediates, 'ICS Intermediate' and 'ICS Intermediate Short', the last of which includes a private key so can be used to automatically sign new certificates by ICS server applications, rather than just self signed certificates as before. If the 'ICS Root CA' certificate is installed in the Window Store and browser stores, it should stop certificate warnings appearing. ICS applications automatically trust the ICS root, so will give no warnings. The short intermediate has a maximum 100 day expiry, so new versions will be issued regularly. There is a single function CreateSelfSignCertEx that created signed certificates, and another IcsInstallIcsRoot that installs the ICS root into the Windows Store, so easy to use. It is possible to replace the ICS root with your own private root certificate and have servers create their own certificates against that root, for internal networks.
 +
#The TSslHttpRest component now allows TRestParams to be created as content type 'Form-Data Body' to create MIME multipart/form-data parameters that may include new TParamType of RPTypeFile that specifies a file name whose binary content will be added to the parameters as a file upload, allowing multiple files and extra parameters. TRestParams are now built into a TStream rather than a string to allow larger parameter sizes, tested up to 8GB. The ICS web server samples have improved MIME decoding to accept massive uploads.
 +
#Several client and server components have a new property NoSSL which if set will prevent those components using SSL/TLS for HTTPS or FTPS, even if the application is linked with OpenSSL code.  Beware the IcsSslRootCAStore component must not be initialised by the application.
  
−
#V8.68 is a minor release, mainly HTTP client and server improvements including new request and response headers to assist browser caching and conditional requests, improved error reporting to help diagnose failed HTTP requests, and improvements in the HTTP REST component allowing it to save files including resuming failed downloads and download files of any size.  There are minor fixes in various components, and updates to installing on MacOS and C++ Builder. There is also a new File Clean-Up demo ideal for deleting the old log files that many applications (including some ICS samples) leave on systems.

−
#The HTTP client TSslHttpCli now keeps the Etag response header as ResponseEtag, allowing applications to save it with the page content, and when requesting a refresh to add the request method ReqIfNoneMatch or ReqIfMatch to avoid downloading the page again. Improved RequestDoneError to give more information than a simple abort, added httperrOutOfMemory and httperrBgException which happen while receiving and processing data in the OnDocData event and httperrSslHandShake. For range downloads, added the ContentIfRange request header which can send an RFC1123 date or Etag so a partial download only happens if the file is unchanged.
 
−
#Previously, the HTTPS REST client TSslHttpRest always downloaded content to a TMemoryStream with content size being limited to MaxBodySize (default 100 MByte), and generally restricted by memory to less than 250 MByte.  To remove this limitation, added the HttpMemStrategy property with THttpMemStrategy on how to handle downloads: HttpStratMem only TMemoryStream; HttpStratTemp uses a work file in the system temporary directory for sizes larger than MaxBodySize; HttpStratFile always writes a named file HttpDownFileName (with .part extension during download); HttpStratResume is similar to HttpStratFile but supports resume of failed partial downloads (with .http extension for resume information). Property ResumeMinSize defines the minimum sized partial file that should be resumed, rather than start again (default 64K). Added ShowProgress property that causes download information to be sent to the OnHttpRestProg event.
 
−
#The HTTP server TSslHttpServer now supports the If-Range, If-Match and If-None-Match request headers for conditional pages using Etag or last modified date, and sends 304 not modified for matches, to help with caching. Added an ETag header to responses in AnswerStream and AnswerPage when we can create one from a file modification date and size (base64 CRC32), or if the EntityTag property is specified in the client onGetDocument event before using hgSendDoc or hgSendStream, perhaps a CRC32 of the entire content from a cache. The 304 not modified response now includes more recommended headers. Also add a Date: header to AnswerStream and AnswerPage responses to help with caching.
 
−
#The Multi HTTPS client TIcsHttpMulti has been updated to a fix a problem that meant large files failed download with only an abort error if too large for TMemoryStream, now downloaded to TFileStream with .part extension and renamed up successful completion.
 
−
#The previous ICS release added support for the OpenSSL 3.0 release. Now it's been available for three months it has been added to the main distribution, the samples SslInternet directory now has both OpenSSL 1.1.1m and 3.0.1. ICS now supports YuOpenSSL 3.0 and 1.1.1 vrsions as commercial DCUs allowing applications to be used with OpenSSL without needing separate DLLs.
 
−
#In TIcsFileCopy, the DeleteFiles method now supports a new Zipped property so files are zipped with .zip extension before being deleted, useful for cleaning up old logs to save space (requires VCLZip).  The OverbyteIcsXferTst,dpr sample has a new File Clean-Up tab to test the multiple DeleteFiles method, it allow files older than x days or a specific date range to be archived/zipped (to save space) or deleted, ideal for deleting the old log files that many applications (including some ICS samples) leave on systems.
 
−
#In the FTP client TSslFtpClient, using the PORT command to set Active mode now prevents other FTP clients sharing the same port number and address, usually only a problem with a small port pool (which is not recommended).
 
−
#Updated the trusted root certificate bundle files, lots of changes from Microsoft since June, Google is now issuing it's own certificates. Updated the build-in sslRootCACertsBundle, few gone, now total 59 certificates commonly used.
 
−
#ICS should now build with C++ for RAD Studio 10.4 and 11.0, fixed the 11.0 packages and various Windows API related units, including for Win64.

OpenSSL 3.0 is a major new release, primarily a lot of internal changes to ease long term support. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.0.  There is an optional FIPS module with 3.0 but not available here since our DLLs are not built to standards required for certification. The old engines for special extensions are replaced by new more versatile providers of which the FIPS module is one, a provider legacy.dll contained in the distribution has obsolete ciphers and hash digests that most applications no longer need and which needs to loaded by the application. This version will be supported until September 2026.

Please note that ICS does not use any of the new features in OpenSSL 3.2 or later at present, so continuing to use the latest patch version of 3.0 with security fixes is generally fine.
  
 
The OpenSSL DLLs and EXE files included in the zips above are digitally code signed 'Magenta Systems Ltd', one of the organisations that maintains ICS.  The Magenta Systems Code Signing Trust and Certificate Check component may be used to check the correctly signed DLLs are being used by ICS, with this functionality included in  ICS V8.38 and later.  Beware that Windows needs recent root certificates to check newly signed code, and may give an error if the root store has not been kept current by Windows Update, particularly on older versions of Windows such as XP, Vista and 7.

== Browser Demo Application using HtmlViewer ==

−
This is an example internet browser using the HtmlViewer component from [https://github.com/BerndGabriel/HtmlViewer GitHub (11.8)].
 
−

The browser demo is in the ICS nightly zip, in the folder samples\delphi\browserdemo, the project is FrameBrowserIcs.dpr. An  executable version of the new demo may also be downloaded from here, built with HtmlViewer 11.8 and ICS V8.69, using Delphi 11.0.

The HtmlViewer component must be downloaded and installed before the demo can be built.  The demo is based on FrameBrowserIndy project but with various enhancements, specifically display of all HTTP, SSL and some or all HTML traffic which makes it very useful for debugging the THttpCli component. Recent versions of HtmlViewer also include FrameBrowserIcs.dpr but it has been changed substantially from the ICS version and I've been unable to build it.

−
The Options, Settings window allow the SSL security level to be adjusted to various TLS and cipher variations, which can be useful testing web sites that ICS has difficulty accessing.

The project is a good basic browser for HTML4, but does not support any scripting, so most sites without backward compatibility may appear strange.

ICS is available as source code only. You need Delphi to build the sample programs and create your own application.

ICS versions available:

  • ICS-V9 for Delphi 7 to Delphi 12 / C++ Builder 10.2 to 12, FireMonkey cross platform support for POSIX/MacOS (long term support release, 32 and 64-bit).
  • ICS-V8 for Delphi 7 to Delphi 11 (stable release, no new development, please upgrade to V9).
  • ICS-V7 for Delphi 7 / C++ Builder 2006 to Delphi / C++ Builder XE3 (discontinued and obsolete, please upgrade to V9).
  • ICS-V6 for Delphi 7 / C++ Builder 2006 to Delphi / C++ Builder 2007 (discontinued and obsolete, please upgrade to V9 if you do not have to support Windows versions < W2K).
  • ICS-V5 for Delphi / BCB 1 to Delphi / C++ Builder 2007 and Delphi .NET (discontinued and obsolete, please upgrade to V9).

ICS News

Changes in ICS V9.3 include:

  1. V9.3 continues the simplification of use of ICS components by consolidating many types and constants into the OverbyteIcsTypes unit, avoiding projects needing to find and add specific units before they will build. For XE2 and later, OverbyteIcsTypes and OverbyteIcsSslBase will be added automatically when components needing them are dropped on a form, or that form accessed for existing projects. One benefit of this change is removing dependence on several units for many components and applications, it should be possible to remove OverbyteIcsWinsock, OverbyteIcsLIBEAY, OverbyteIcsSSLEAY and OverbyteIcsLogger from most applications, and also other units. See https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Updating_projects_to_V9.3 for more information.
  2. Previously, the Windows Certificate Store was supported on Windows for all components and samples, despite it not always being required. There are three new defines {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Clients}, {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Servers} and {$DEFINE MSCRYPT_Tools) that determine which components can use the store, at least one must be set or applications that need the store will fail. Although these new defines all default to enabled in the OverbyteIcsDefs.inc supplied with V9.3 and later, unless this file is installed, Windows Certificate Store will be unavailable. These defines are disabled for non-Windows platforms and for C++ Builder which has bugs.
  3. Added new application independent monitoring, comprising a client component and server sample. The ICS Application Monitor TIcsAppMonCli client component is designed to report to an ICS Application Monitor server, which will ensure the main application remains running. The ICS Application Monitor server IcsAppMon.exe is designed to monitor ICS applications using the TIcsAppMonCli client component, and ensure they remain running, restarting the application if it stops or becomes non-responsive, or on demand. Primarily to keep ICS server Windows services running non-stop, but may also be used for network wide monitoring of ICS applications. Client and server both use the TIcsIpStrmLog component with a simple TCP protocol. More information at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ_ICS_Application_Monitoring
  4. The HTTP client components TSslHttpCli and TSslHttpRest have new RespMimeType and RespCharset response properties parsed from the Content-Type header to avoid applications needing to parse this headers. Fixed a problem in V9.2 where a missing / was added to the start of the request path, but was not needed for absolute paths used for proxies.
  5. The TIcsIpStrmLog streaming log component has improvements for TCP Server mode when multiple remote clients connect. Previously the same data was sent to all remote clients (the original concept being remote logging), but now applications can send data to specific remote clients, and more easily check which remote client is receiving data. This change means TIcsIpStrmLog can be used as the core of many TCP servers with different protocols, such as the new IcsAppMon sample, see above.
  6. The TSslHttpRest and component has a new way for applications to check SSL certificate chains themselves, ignoring OpenSSL bundle checks, usually for self signed private certificates, maybe checking certificate serials, names or public key. If LogSslVerMethod = logSslVerOwnEvent, a new event OnSslCertVerifyEvent is called so the application can check the chain and change the verify result appropriately.
  7. Improved the ability to customise SSL ciphers if the ICS defaults need to be changed. TSslContext and TIcsHosts have three properties, SslCipherList for TLSv12 ciphers, SslCipherList13 for TLSv13 ciphers, and SslCryptoGroups sets the cipher curve groups allowed (like P-256 or X25519). Beware old SslContexts may include group P-512 which must be corrected to T-521. SSL handshake responses now show the curve group used for OpenSSL 3.2 and later. The OverbyteIcsHttpsTst client sample may be used to test the new cipher options, and they will be read from IcsHosts INI files for servers.
  8. Added a new web server sample OverbyteIcsBasicWebServer1.dpr which is a simplified version of OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ ignoring configuration INI files, security features, session data, most demo pages and most logging, and settings for localhost set in code, search for IcsHosts to change IP addresses, etc. This sample should be easier to use as a basis for new web server applications. The existing samples OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ and OverbyteIcsDDWebService have a new index.html template page, and default to localhost 127.0.0.1 with an internal localhost SSL certificate, so should always response to https://localhost/ without any INI file changes.
  9. Fixed an HTTP web server problem in V9.2 to avoid repeated redirection for virtual default page /, was adding /// etc.
  10. Updated OpenSSL binary and resource files to releases 3.3.2, 3.2.3 and 3.0.15, only one of which will be linked according to defines.
  11. Restored the sample OverbyteIcsConHttp.dpr which is a console example, now supports SSL by replacing THttpCli with TSslHttpRest, no longer needs any events or a message loop for a single sync request, so a less code than without SSL. Now contacts https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki.
  12. A lot of changes have been made preparing ICS for Linux. Corrected loading OpenSSL on Posix, now loads the system supplied OpenSSL 3 DLLs on Ubuntu 22.04. The Linux package now builds correctly, but beware WSocket is not yet supported on Linux so no protocols will work. There is a new IcsPemTest FMX sample that works on Ubuntu 22.04 and which will create ICS signed SSL certificates. Note, MacOS support is disabled pending the new Posix implementation.

Changes in ICS V9.2 include:

  1. V9.2 is a minor release, fixing a few issues introduced in the last major release, and other bugs located since. There are no breaking or installation changes from V9.1, but if updating from earlier releases please read https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/Updating_projects_to_V9.1
  2. TIcsMailQueue can now queue a prepared EML file created by another application, or perhaps received by the SMTP Server. Added optional SkipEmpty argument to StartMailQu method so queue is not started unless there are pending emails waiting to be sent. The sample has 'Send Prepared EML File' to queue an existing EML file rather then preparing email with properties.
  3. Improved email MIME decoding by supporting embedded boundaries, usually for multipart/alternative parts, within a multipart/mixed message, using code written 20 years ago but suppressed for some reason. Previously these parts were sometimes left encoded within a part. There is a new property LooseRFC to allow decoding if the boundaries in the body are missing the two required hyphens, usually because the boundary also begins with hyphens. TMimeDecodeEx should now always return the body if no MIME parts are found, and TPartInfo has PLevel which is Part Level, and PInfo which is displayable part information for logs. The MimeDDemo sample has various improvements to test these features.
  4. Fixed a nasty Win64 problem reading EC certificates from the Windows Store, which may have caused server crashes, also reproducible in the PemTool listing the Windows Store. This was due to Win64 bad initialisation of a buffer used for a Crypto API call that failed.
  5. The HTTP client now check the URL always has / at start of the path, ie add it for test.com?query. In the REST client, added a sanity check for RawParameters to encode any spaces, which can break the HTTP request. After a file download completed, check actual file size against response size. The multipart/form-data MimeBoundary no longer includes extra -- at start that are required preceding boundaries within parts, some web servers may have been unable to decode our MIME encoding.
  6. The HTTP server has a new method AnswerRedirect for various redirection responses to a new URL. When accessing the default document in a path without a trailing path delimited /, redirect using 301 to the correct path with delimiter instead of adding it locally and displaying the document which will then incorrectly link to pages in a higher level directory. Using the THttpOption hoAddMissPath redirects if the default document is missing perhaps a template or virtual document. Fixed a bug where authenticated POST/PUT requests always returned a 404 error. Added AnswerBodyTB client response with TBytes binary, similar to AnswerString, tested in the sample by supporting favicon.ico request. Check if the request HTTP version gets corrupted due to spaces in the URL, which are not allowed. The SslMultiWebServ sample has new web pages to test POST/PUT and template authentication.
  7. TSslX509Certs has a new function CertResetDomain to reset a certificate order state to None, if the order process stalls or gets confused due to errors. If AcmeV2StartChallgs fails because there are no pending challenges, reset to order to None so it starts again next time and does not loop.
  8. ICS not longer tries to load OpenSSL RAND_screen function that may be missing from recent DLLs.
  9. TIcsHttpMulti fixes a bug introduced in V8.66 that stopped the application setting authentication, rather than adding it to the URL, and a Win64 free stream bug.
  10. TIcsIpStrmLog correctly counts failed client connection attempts if ping is not used first to check the remote IP address. The sample has a new client Retry Attempts box to test this.
  11. Updated the Snippets sample to use authentication to access some the hardcoded URLs, which started failing after authentication was added to test web server bugs (see above).
  12. Added OverbyteIcsHttpThrd sample to show how to use TSslHttpRest component in a multi-threaded program.
  13. Improved Posix support for Linux and Android, not tested or supported yet. Beware SSL does not correctly load for Posix at the moment.
  14. Added support for a new feature release of OpenSSL 3.3 with {$DEFINE OpenSSL_33} in the Defs.inc file, ICS includes new versions of the active versions, 3.3.1, 3.2.2 and 3.0.14, but no longer includes 3.1 since there are two newer feature versions.
  15. Updated the 'ICS Intermediate Short' SSL certificates, used by ICS to generate temporary server certificates to allow SSL servers to run until a Let's Encrypt or commercial certificate is installed. It now expires after 200 days, 21st December 2024, after which self signed certificates will be used instead, unless a newer 'short' is installed.
  16. Only Delphi 10.41 and 10.42 (10.4 with updates 1 or 2) will install correctly with the new install packages, the original RTM version does not support the package LIB suffix: $(Auto) so you must change it manually for each package to 21.0.

Major Changes in ICS V9.1:

Although ICS V9.1 does not contain any new components, there are many other SSL/TLS changes that will affect existing applications, but make ICS easier to use and support for the future.

  1. Delphi 10.4 and later now use the same install groups and packages, IcsInstallFmx, IcsInstallVcl and IcsInstallVclFmx, making support a lot easier. Version specific groups remain for Delphi 10.3 and earlier, with new groups D(X)InstallVcl for VCL only replacing the old OverbyteIcs(X) groups, again to simplify support. Dozens of old packages have been removed for this release, so please delete all old groups and packages before installing V9.1, to avoid a mix of old and new packages. Only C++ 10.4 and later are now supported, but untested.
  2. The old samples directory has gone and many of the older and little used samples have been archived to a separate download. The active samples used to test and demonstrate all ICS components are now split into the following paths, in the ICS root directory: All these samples can now be built for Win32 and Win64 platforms.
    1. demos-delphi-vcl - 45 VCL samples for Windows.
    2. demos-delphi-extra - four VCL samples that need third party components to build.
    3. demos-delphi-fmx - seven FMX samples for Windows, not yet tested on MacOS.
    4. demos-cpp-vcl - all old C++ samples that have not been tested for 10 years, need help.
    5. demos-data - data files for samples, such as web pages.
  3. To ease development, linking and future support, some new units have been added by splitting existing units with multiple components, unfortunately this means many existing projects will need one or more of the new units adding to their uses section. Apologies for the pain, but this should have been done a long time ago. The main change is splitting out much of the SSL/TLS related code from the massive OverbyteIcsWSocket unit to a new unit OverbyteIcsSslBase.
  4. Distribution of the ICS OpenSSL files has changed. Earlier ICS versions required the OpenSSL DLLs to be distributed with applications, and a root CA bundle file to verify SSL/TLS connections, and these needed to be loaded using code. There was little standardisation over where the OpenSSL DLLs were located, applications tended to keep their own copies alongside other executables, leading to multiple DLL copies and needing the public variable GSSL_DLL_DIR set to a specific directory before OpenSSL was loaded. Likewise, root CA bundle directories had to be distributed with applications and loaded with code. ICS V9.1 allows five different ways of loading OpenSSL: Which method ICS uses to load OpenSSL depends upon several defines in the .\Source\Include\OverbyteIcsDefs.inc file, please see the readme9.txt file for details. ICS currently includes resource files for three different OpenSSL releases, 3.0`13. 3.1.5 and 3.2.1, which version is linked is controlled by a define. If the OpenSSL DLLs are linked into the application, they are extracted to a version subdirectory, ie C:\ProgramData\ICS-OpenSSL\3012\ so different applications can use different OpenSSL versions. This happens only once if the files have not already been extracted. When updating existing projects without using any new defines, the ICS old behaviour of methods 3, 4 and 5 above remain with no changes needed.
    1. DLLs linked into application as resource files
    2. DLLs loaded from common directory C:\ProgramData\ICS-OpenSSL\
    3. OpenSSL DCU linked into application using commercial YuOpenSSL
    4. DLLs loaded from location specified in public variable GSSL_DLL_DIR
    5. DLLs loaded according to path, may be found anywhere on PC
  5. A common IcsSslRootCAStore component is now created at application start-up, to avoid different components needing their own CA stores to verify SSL/TLS certificates, and for applications to load those stores. The three different CA stores included with ICS are now supplied as resource files, with a define determining which is linked into applications.Another define causes OpenSSL and this store to be loaded at application startup, so OpenSSL is available for allcomponents, without it needing to be loaded again, perhaps repeatedly. Without new defines, a CA Store can be loaded manually into IcsSslRootCAStore. The ICS servers use CA Stores now use IcsSslRootCAStore and no longer load any files specified.
  6. All SSL/TLS servers need a certificate and private key to start, even when testing. Previously ICS supplied some self signed certificates for testing, and also created such certificates automatically if they were missing or if the server was about to order a Let's Encrypt certificate. Accessing such servers for testing using browsers raised various warnings.ICS now has it's own SSL root certificate 'ICS Root CA' and two intermediates, 'ICS Intermediate' and 'ICS Intermediate Short', the last of which includes a private key so can be used to automatically sign new certificates by ICS server applications, rather than just self signed certificates as before. If the 'ICS Root CA' certificate is installed in the Window Store and browser stores, it should stop certificate warnings appearing. ICS applications automatically trust the ICS root, so will give no warnings. The short intermediate has a maximum 100 day expiry, so new versions will be issued regularly. There is a single function CreateSelfSignCertEx that created signed certificates, and another IcsInstallIcsRoot that installs the ICS root into the Windows Store, so easy to use. It is possible to replace the ICS root with your own private root certificate and have servers create their own certificates against that root, for internal networks.
  7. The TSslHttpRest component now allows TRestParams to be created as content type 'Form-Data Body' to create MIME multipart/form-data parameters that may include new TParamType of RPTypeFile that specifies a file name whose binary content will be added to the parameters as a file upload, allowing multiple files and extra parameters. TRestParams are now built into a TStream rather than a string to allow larger parameter sizes, tested up to 8GB. The ICS web server samples have improved MIME decoding to accept massive uploads.
  8. Several client and server components have a new property NoSSL which if set will prevent those components using SSL/TLS for HTTPS or FTPS, even if the application is linked with OpenSSL code. Beware the IcsSslRootCAStore component must not be initialised by the application.

Version Control System

Using the version control repository is the best choice if you want to get live access to current development files. Overbyte uses a Subversion server and you need to use a Subversion client such as TortoiseSVN or your favorite browser. The URLs are as follows:

ICS Version SVN URL HTTP URL
ICS-V9 svn://svn.overbyte.be/icsv9 https://svn.overbyte.be/svn/icsv9
ICS-V8 svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics/trunk https://svn.overbyte.be/svn/ics/trunk

ICS-V5 svn://svn.overbyte.be/icsv5 https://svn.overbyte.be/svn/icsv5

Use username = ics and password = ics for read access. Write access is only available to TeamICS.

Download OpenSSL Binaries

The OpenSSL binaries are required for all ICS SSL-enabled components.

The 64-bit DLLs are only for use with Delphi applications compiled for the 64-bit platform, the 32-bit DLLs work on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows with 32-bit applications.

Please note older versions of the ICS source code had an internal check to only allow loading of the latest OpenSSL it was tested with, so you could not use new DLLs with an old application without recompiling with the latest version of ICS first.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 and later were only supported by ICS v8, v7 is no longer updated for new OpenSSL versions. This was a long term support version for which free support ceased at the end of 2019 unless you have an OpenSSL Premium Level Support contract for $50,000/year. ICS V8.65 was the last version to support 1.0.2.

OpenSSL 1.1.0 is obsolete and no longer supported. ICS V8.65 is the last version to support 1.1.0.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 was a long term support version and added support for TLSv1.3 RFC8446 and various new cryptographic private key and hash digest types. Delphi applications require ICS V8.57 or later. ICS V8.57 and later include the Win32 and Win64 OpenSSL 1.1.1 files. Support ceased in September 2023 unless you have an OpenSSL Premium Level Support contract for $50,000/year. OpenSSL 1.1.1 only supports Windows Vista and later, not XP. ICS V9.0 was the last version to support 1.1.1.

OpenSSL 3.0 is a major new release, primarily a lot of internal changes to ease long term support. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.0. There is an optional FIPS module with 3.0 but not available here since our DLLs are not built to standards required for certification. The old engines for special extensions are replaced by new more versatile providers of which the FIPS module is one, a provider legacy.dll contained in the distribution has obsolete ciphers and hash digests that most applications no longer need and which needs to loaded by the application. This version will be supported until September 2026.

OpenSSL 3.1 is a minor new release, primarily FIPS improvements. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.1. This version will be supported until March 2025. ICS is no longer updating these DLLs.

OpenSSL 3.2 is a minor new release with QUIC client support for HTTP/3 and many other improvements. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.2. This version will be supported until November 2025.

OpenSSL 3.3 is a minor new release, minor QUIC and other features. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.3. This version will be supported until April 2026.

OpenSSL 3.4 is a minor new release, minor newr features. ICS 8.67 is required to support 3.4. There is a bug fix in ICS 9.4. This version will be supported until October 2026.

Please note that ICS does not use any of the new features in OpenSSL 3.2 or later at present, so continuing to use the latest patch version of 3.0 with security fixes is generally fine.

The OpenSSL DLLs and EXE files included in the zips above are digitally code signed 'Magenta Systems Ltd', one of the organisations that maintains ICS. The Magenta Systems Code Signing Trust and Certificate Check component may be used to check the correctly signed DLLs are being used by ICS, with this functionality included in ICS V8.38 and later. Beware that Windows needs recent root certificates to check newly signed code, and may give an error if the root store has not been kept current by Windows Update, particularly on older versions of Windows such as XP, Vista and 7.

OpenSSL website also links to Win32OpenSSL website providing another build of Win32 DLL binaries. Note note that unlike the builds above builds on that site may have dependencies on Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables (to keep dll files smaller) so make sure you include all the required (and correct) redistributable files in your software installation. You probably don't have to care about that if you use binaries above at the cost of slightly larger DLLs. Also note that site does not keep archives of older versions so you may want to watch their page if you prefer their binaries.
