SocketTools Scripting Edition   
http://www.catalyst.com

SocketTools Scripting Edition consists of Component Object Model (COM) libraries designed primarily for use in scripting languages such as VBScript, JavaScript and PHP. While the interface to the Scripting Edition components is similar to the ActiveX controls in the Visual Edition, the internal design has significant differences. The Scripting Edition components do not have the inherent overhead of ActiveX controls and they implement a threading model that makes them much more efficient to use with Active Server Pages (ASP) and similar environments. Unlike other software development toolkits which may use complicated data structures or require a complex interdependency between objects, the SocketTools interface is designed to be simple to understand and use. For example, there are no language specific constructs like C unions in our Library Edition API. By focusing on providing a clean interface that only requires intrinsic data types and simple structures, SocketTools can be used in a wide variety of programming languages beyond just C and C++. Likewise, our Visual and Scripting Edition components implement a straight-forward interface that is designed to be compatible with virtually any language that can use COM objects.

SocketTools Secure Library Edition

The SocketTools Secure Library Edition includes standard Windows dynamic link libraries (DLLs) which can be used in a wide variety of programming languages such as Visual Studio.NET, Visual C++, Visual Basic and Delphi. The SocketTools Library Edition API has over 800 functions which can be used to develop applications that meet a wide range of needs. SocketTools covers it all, including uploading and downloading files, sending and retrieving email, remote command execution, terminal emulation, and much more. The SocketTools Secure Library Edition also includes support for the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Security Layer (TLS) protocols which are used to ensure that data exchanged between the local system and a remote host is secure and encrypted. Your data is protected by industrial strength 128-bit encryption, with full support for client certificates. Using the popular SocketWrench library that is part of SocketTools, you can also write your own, custom secure server applications. And there's no need for you to understand the details of certificate management, data encryption or how the security protocols work. All it takes is a few lines of code to enable the security features, and SocketTools handles the rest! The following protocols are supported by the SocketTools Secure Library Edition: Domain Name Service (DNS), File Encoding and Compression, File Transfer Protocol (FTPS), Finger Protocol, Gopher Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPS), Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTPS), Network Time Protocol, Post Office Protocol (POP3S), Remote Access Services (RAS), Remote Command Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTPS), Terminal Emulation, Telnet Protocol, Whois Porotocol, Windows Sockets (SocketWrench).

SocketTools Secure Visual Edition

SocketTools Secure Visual Edition is a collection of controls that supports secure data connections over the Internet or a local network. It includes client interfaces for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) compliant versions of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), File Transfer Protocol (FTPS), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTPS) and other popular application protocols PLUS all the standard Visual Edition components. Almost all details of the standard SSL protocol are hidden within the controls, enabling developers to produce secure client applications with only small additional considerations beyond those needed for non-secure versions of those same applications. All versions of Visual Basic from 5.0 and later are supported, and the ActiveX controls can be used with any 32-bit development tool that supports COM and the ActiveX control specification. The following protocols are supported by the SocketTools Secure Visual Edition: Domain Name Service (DNS), File Encoding and Compression, File Transfer Protocol (FTPS), Finger Protocol, Gopher Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPS), Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTPS), Network Time Protocol, Post Office Protocol (POP3S), Remote Access Services (RAS), Remote Command Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTPS), Terminal Emulation, Telnet Protocol, Whois Porotocol, Windows Sockets (SocketWrench).
