Re: [Ftpapi] HTTPAPI upgrade

When I upgraded from 1.29 to 1.42 - a 6 year upgrade - with separate libraries for each, I found that the programs compiled under 1.29 crashed. I seem to remember coming to the conclusion that the crashes related to http_debug (although there's nothing on the face of it that would cause this - it may simply have been that this was the first call to LIBHTTP that was being executed), but perhaps another reason could have been unsuitable references in my binding directory (ie referring to a library by name, or by *LIBL).

Regardless, I simply removed a few hard-coded library references, recompiled the old programs with the new library in the library list and everything worked fine.

Create an empty library, for example LIBHTTPOLD.

Move all the objects from LIBHTTP to the empty library LIBHTTPOLD.

Move all objects from LIBHTTP143 to LIBHTTP.

If for some reason you need to go back to the old version, just reverse it.

Hi

We are using HTTPAPI for many years now,

We need to upgrade to last version 1.43.

We have downloaded it and install library LIBHTTP143 for testing purpose.

Now we would like to know how to proceed the upgrade ?

As the Library LIBHTTP is already in use, by many users and also continuous running jobs, in their Library list

it is difficult to find a time window to proceed with a full reinstallation.

Is Simply replacing the objects within LIBHTTP with those of LIBHTTP143 will work fine ?
