Troi Automatisering releases URL Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 6

New cross platform plug-in lets you post and retrieve information from the Internet.

Alphen a/d Rijn, The Netherlands, September 23rd, 2002--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of a new public beta version of the Troi URL Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 6.

What is Troi URL Plug-in?

Troi URL Plug-in can help you fill in forms on the Internet, all from FileMaker Pro. It also retrieves data from any HTTP URL.

You can:

  • use the POST command to fill in a web form and retrieve the result directly in FileMaker
  • use the GET command to retrieve data
  • use a secure connection (HTTPS) using SSL (currently Mac OS only)
  • get access to password protected web pages

Suggested Uses

Troi URL plug-in allows you to:

  • fill in forms on web sites or your intranet
  • get online data like stock quotes, weather reports, etc.
  • automatically add information to listings and online databases
  • search the Internet for terms or other specific items (like in Sherlock)

New Features

The new beta version of Troi URL Plug-in fixes some bugs, specifically with URLs to ports other than 80 (Windows only). The download now also has better documentation, like a user guide and a function overview. We also added the functions TURL-SetUserName and TURL-SetPassword, enabling access to password protected web pages.

This plug-in opens new possibilities to interact with the Internet in powerful ways. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!

Pricing & Availability

A fully functional version of Troi URL Plug-in 0.9b2 is available for downloading at Troi's Web site at:: <http://www.troi.com/software/urlplugin.html>.

Note that this is a beta release, there may still be bugs in this version. Please be careful, save other work first and test this software using a test database. This beta version will expire on 30 October 2002. We expect to release the final version before that date.

Troi URL Plug-in 0.9b2 works with FileMaker Pro 6 and FileMaker Pro 5.x. The plug-in is available for Mac OS 9.0.4 or later, including Mac OS X (10.1 or later), and for Windows 95/98/Me and NT/2000/XP. The plug-in should also run without problems on any machine that is able to run FileMaker Pro 4.0, FileMaker Pro 4.1 and runtimes from FileMaker Developer Edition 4.0, but we have not tested this.

Licenses cost US$ 59 per user. Details on developer licenses and multi-user discounts can be found on our web site. You can order licenses from our web site.
