Version History

Version 3.90.000 of TracePlus®/Web Detective (Standard Edition) includes the following fixes and enhancements:

• When running .NET applications under Windows 2000 and Windows XP using .NET Framework 1.1, HTTP responses would not be seen by TracePlus. (FIXED)
• HTTP sessions would not display correctly if a web application was using overlapped I/O or I/O completion ports. (FIXED)

Version 3.89.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Some compressed objects received from the server would not be decompressed as expected. (FIXED)
• The context menu in the Protocol was not appearing as expected when right-clicking within the view. (FIXED)
• When text objects were displayed in the Body Content View, the text editor would be incorrectly sized relative to the Body Content View. (FIXED)
• Copying over 3000 items to the clipboard in all views would take a significant length of time. (FIXED)
• HTTP response headers that specify Transfer-Encoding: Chunked, when in reality the data was not chunked might cause TracePlus to crash. (FIXED)
• Support for BCOPY, BDELETE, BMOVE, BPROPFIND, BPROPPATCH, and X-MS-ENUMATTS methods available in Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003. (NEW)

Version 3.85.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Added a new Body Content viewer to the Protocol View. The Body Content View displays the content of the selected HTTP request or response in its native text or graphical format. Text will be displayed with carriage returns and line feeds notated for reference. Tabs are expanded, and word wrapping is turned off. Images will be displayed actual size. Above each image will be displayed a description of the image, including its dimensions and number of colors. If the object does not use a color palette, then the word "RGB" will be displayed. (NEW)
• Added a new Body Content viewer to the Object View. (NEW)
• Support for HTTP headers with either "deflate" and "gzip" content encodings. Headers will be decompressed by TracePlus and displayed in their original format. (NEW)
• Trace files may load incorrectly due to the sort option being added to the Protocol View, which causes records to be loaded in random order (not in sequential order as aspected). The side affect of this means that the "Start at record" option in the Import dialog box would not work as expected. (FIXED)
• The DNS Lookup View has been removed from the product, and replaced with the Body Content View.
• The SSL features may not work correctly if the application is using WININET in a Unicode environment. (FIXED)

Version 3.81.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• The demo version of the product would crash due to a invalid pointer being passed to a memory allocation function.  (FIXED)
• The DNS Lookup View was not working as expected because the logic to implement the feature was missing from WINSDATA.DLL.  (FIXED)
• An error when intercepting the Winsock function accept() may cause the target application to crash or not work as expected.  (FIXED)
• The international date, time, and numeric formatting can be reset to English (United States) by selecting "Use English (U.S.) Formatting" from the View menu. This feature is enabled only if the user locale specified in Windows is OTHER than English (United States). (NEW)

Version 3.80.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Supports the date, time, and numeric formats of over thirty countries:

   

  Australia	France	New Zealand
  Austria	Germany	Norway
  Belgium	Iceland	Paraguay
  Bolivia	Indonesia	Philippines
  Brazil	Ireland	Portugal
  Canada	Italy	South Africa
  Chile	Jamaica	Sweden
  Colombia	Liechenstein	Switzerland
  Denmark	Malaysia	United Kingdom
  Finland	Mexico	Venezuela

  (NEW)

• Now compatible with .NET Web Services, ASP.NET, HTML Applications (HTAs), .NET Remoting, and applications written for the .NET Framework (SSL under .NET is not supported at this time). (NEW)
• When "Clear all Views" was selected, the Details View (the lower half of the Protocol View) would not be cleared. (FIXED)
• The Export feature is now disabled when a trace is started.
• The Process column in the Data View has been modified to display the Process ID in hexidecimal only if Windows 98/ME. The number is now right justified.
• The Clear Internet Explorer Cache option on the View menu did not clear the cache as expected. (FIXED)
• When using Browser automation scripts: The /IE_CLEARCACHE option did not clear the IE cache as expected. (FIXED)
• Modified the saving of application filenames and parameter lists in the Launch dialog box so that embedded quotes would be saved correctly. (FIXED)

Version 3.65.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Single packet headers containing no "Content-Length" field may not appear in the Protocol View until the socket closes. (FIXED)
• When using Browser automation Scripts: The /RESUME command acts as the /START command and starts a new instance of the current application, rather than resuming the capture. (FIXED)
• When using Browser automation Scripts: The /RESUME command will not reopen the log files, therefore information will not be written to the log files after the /RESUME command is issued. (FIXED)

Version 3.64.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• SSL responses displayed by TracePlus may have been cached by Internet Explorer on your system drive. TracePlus now displays these cached items in a brown color in all Views. (NEW)
• The "Automatic" and "ASCII" display options in the Data View Settings tab considered characters greater than ASCII 132 as binary, thus either displaying the data in hex or not displaying it at all. The range considered as ASCII characters has been expanded to ASCII 32-255, thus including international characters. (FIXED)
• The Web Performance dialog box would crash when long URLs were typed into the URL combo box, and the Start button was pressed. (FIXED)
• The Web Performance dialog box did not handle correctly situations where the URL entered into the URL combo box returned an 404 Not Found error. (FIXED)
• URLs that contained an ampersand ("&") within a path or filename would be abnormally truncated. (FIXED)
• Under some circumstances, the TracePlus application would crash with the error "Exception 0x8000003", due to several DebugBreak() statements left in the code. (FIXED)
• When monitoring an HTTP 1.0 data stream, TracePlus would report object sizes of zero because the "Content-Length" header field was missing. (FIXED)

Version 3.61.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• A DNS Lookup View has been added in the Protocol View (next to the Details window). Displays results and response times for host name lookups. (NEW)
• Browser Automation scripts now generate a DNS Lookup Times report in tab limited ASCII format.
• Browser Automation scripts now output DNS Lookup statistics in tab limited ASCII format in addition to the other files. (NEW)
• A new option DNS_LOOKUP:NO_REPORT has been added to the Browser Automation syntax.
• The Save as ASCII feature now outputs DNS Lookup statistics in tab limited ASCII format in addition to the other files. (NEW)
• A "Maximize Pane" feature has been added to the Protocol View and Page View. (NEW)
• A "Restore Panes" feature has been added to the Protocol View and Page View. (NEW)
• TracePlus can now detect applications launched from the Desktop under Windows 2000 if Service Pack 3 or more is installed. This feature is also now compatible with all Security Updates. (FIXED)

Version 3.50.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Previous versions of the Web Detective presented HTTP headers in order that TracePlus intercepted them from the application. Since many Internet applications are multi-threaded, it became time consuming to locate the HTTP request and matching response in the Protocol View. (NEW)
• The Protocol View can sorted by either session ID or sequence number. What happens is that all requests and responses will line up in pairs (except when the client makes more than one request simultaneously on the same socket. This way, you can easily understand the logical grouping of HTTP requests and responses. (NEW)
• The Object View can be sorted by session ID. You can easily visualize the logical grouping of objects via server connections. (NEW)
• The Data View can be sorted by session ID. You can easily visualize the logical order of data packets as they were sent or received via server connections. (NEW)
• The Export as ASCII feature will generate one ASCII file for each of the four Views in realtime while a trace is running. This feature is identical in functionality to how the Browser Automation Scripts generate ASCII files. (NEW)
• TracePlus/Web Detective (Standard Edition) is now compatible with Windows Server 2003. (NEW)
• WININET would report objects retrieved from local cache as a response code 200 (OK), when the response code was 304 (Not Modified). This only occurs on SSL connections. (FIXED)
• The HTML output was significantly enhanced to match the HTML output of TracePlus/Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) and TracePlus/Ethernet. (FIXED)
• Computer Name, IP address, and Service Pack information has added to exported RDF files This information is added when RDF files are created so that you can easily identify RDF files generated on other PCs. (NEW)
• A "Select All" option has been added to the Edit menu and right-click menus for each View. (NEW)
• A "Scroll while Capturing" option has been added to the View menu. This feature determines whether the each View will scroll automatically to the last item in the View when a new item is added. If this option is checked, all Views will scroll automatically, otherwise you can press End or Ctrl+Pg Dn to find the last item in the View. (NEW)

Version 3.25.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

NOTE: If you have previously downloaded the 3.20.000 update, please download this newer update. It corrects a problem with debug code left in the 3.20.000 version that may cause timeout issues with Internet Explorer.

• Disable application debugger detection feature will prevent the application from detecting that it is being run in a debugger. Some well known applications have code in them that prevent applications such as TracePlus from revealing the way that they operate. Such applications abort immediately after they are launched, or disable certain features of the application when a debugger is detected. (NEW).
• SSL POST requests made by Javascript applications would not be seen by TracePlus. (FIXED)
• A new executable called TPBATCH.EXE now ships with TracePlus which provides the Browser Automation Script feature. A sample script is installed with the latest SETUP.EXE and is located in the same directory as TPWEB32.EXE.
• Several new commands were added to the Browser Automation Script feature to support the automation of Internet Explorer:

  /IE_LAUNCH	/IE_CLEARCOOKIES
  /IE_URL	/IE_EXIT
  /IE_CLEAR_CACHE

• The /LOG option will now create the requested filename in the "My Documents" directory if no drive or path is specified before the filename.
• The /PAUSE feature for the Browser Automation Script would pause for only half of the requested number of seconds. (FIXED)
• Added "Clear Internet Explorer Cache" option to the View menu. (NEW).
• Added "Clear Internet Explorer Cookies" option to the View menu. (NEW).
• The "Save as ASCII" option now saves the Data View in a column type format (tab delimited) that is suitable for import into Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet application.
• The Page View was not displaying the last item in the View due to a problem with the fix that was made in version 3.07.000  (MAJOR FIX)

Version 3.07.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• When tracing SSL connections, the cookie passed to the server via an HTTP request would not be displayed. (MAJOR FIX)
• When importing large RDF files, TracePlus may crash in WEBGUI.DLL with an access violation. (MAJOR FIX)
• Uses Windows XP colors and styles (theme) when running under Windows XP. (NEW).

Version 3.06.001 included the following fixes and enhancements

• When exporting the Page View as ASCII, a Date field appears as column 1 in the file. However, the column header was omitted, so all columns appear to have the wrong column header when loaded into a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel.
• The Data View would display up to the number of bytes specified in the "Display up to" option if the "Display all" option was selected in the Data Options dialog box. (MAJOR FIX)
• The Data View would display the entire packet if the "Display up to" option was selected in the Data Options dialog box. (MAJOR FIX)

Version 3.05.000 included the following fixes and enhancements:

• Added a new column called "URL" to the Page View, which displays the actual URL of the specified object (minus the "http://" or https://" prefix). (NEW).
• Added a new column called "URL" to the Object View, which displays the actual URL of the specified object (minus the "http://" or https://" prefix). (NEW).
• When using the "Save as RDF" or "Save as ZIP" features, the contents of the Page View would be saved to a file twice. (MAJOR FIX)

The following fixes and enhancements apply to the Web Performance feature and Validate Links feature:

• An "Exclude URLs" feature was added so that URLs containing with recursive links can be filtered so that the drilldown will not continue endlessly.
• URLs with a trailing slash would be identified as (default page).
• If an image tag contained options other than <IMG SRC=>, then the succeeding HTML would be parsed incorrectly.
• URLs containing parameters were not properly handled, causing the "drilldown" logic to create improperly formatted URLs, causing TracePlus to crash in certain situations.
• URLs with relative paths, i.e. "../assets/image.gif" were not being parsed correctly.
• URLs with root paths, i.e. "./images/button.gif" would generate an improperly formatted URL which would lead to a "404 Not Found" error.
• HTML Page names would be parsed incorrectly if parameters were present.
• A coding error when parsing URLs via WININET could cause memory corruption.
• A blank page name was being displayed when the base page name was determined
• to be a slash ("/"). This has been changed to the phrase "(default page)".
• The column widths of the two list views in each dialog box could not be adjusted while a web site is being tested.
• If either dialog box is maximized or minimized then closed, then the dialog could not
• restored to normal size when the dialog box is displayed again.
• The Web Performance dialog box would not display objects that had a return code of >= 400 in the lower list view, when an HTML object was selected in the upper list view.
• When clicking on a object in the upper list view (both dialog boxes), if the URL was over 256 characters, TracePlus would crash.
• The <BASE HREF> tag was not being checked, so the URL for links relative to that page would be calculated incorrectly.
• The Web Performance feature did not display statistics for certain media types such as .PDF, .WAV, .RM, .AVI, etc.
