Hello,

I've take a look at the Plugin sources to make them Delphi Seattle compatible (AnsiString vs WideString)

But even under Delphi 6/7 the actual code is wrong

first tip, Delphi string is PAnsiChar compatible, there's always a #0 at the end of a string

procedure DeleDSendFileData(const aFileData: string);
var callBackData: TCallBackRecord;
begin
with callBackData do begin
RequestID := PR_SETDATA;
RequestXML := PChar(aFileData); //StrNew(PChar(aFileData));
ResponseXML := nil;
ResponseSize := Length(aFileData);
DeledCallBack(callBackData);
// StrDispose(RequestXML);
end;
end;

the second function can use the same fix and there's an error anyway on StrDispose...and there's no need to allocate the PChar twice Smile

function DeleDRetrieveSceneData(const aRequestXML: AnsiString): AnsiString;
var callBackData: TCallBackRecord;
callBackResult: integer;
begin
if not Assigned(DeleDCallback) then exit;

// find out how much memory we need for the specific request
with callBackData do begin
RequestID := PR_GETMEM;
RequestXML := PAnsiChar(aRequestXML); //StrNew(PChar(aRequestXML));
ResponseXML := nil;
ResponseSize := 0;
callBackResult := DeledCallBack(callBackData);
// StrDispose(ResponseXML); <<<< wrong pointer !
end;

// retrieve the actual XML data
if callBackResult = PE_NOERROR then begin
with callBackData do begin
SetLength(Result, callBackData.ResponseSize);
FillChar(Result[1], Length(Result), 0);

RequestID := PR_GETDATA;
// RequestXML := StrNew(PChar(aRequestXML));
ResponseXML := PAnsiChar(Result);
callBackResult := DeledCallBack(callBackData);
// StrDispose(RequestXML);
end;
end;

// raise error if needed
if callBackResult <> PE_NOERROR then
raise Exception.Create(Format('DeleD callback returned error code %d', [callBackResult]));
end;

I use AnsiString and PAnsiChar for Delphi > 2009 of course.

BTW: a better option would be

with callBackData do begin
RequestID := PR_ALLOCATE_AND_GETDATA;
RequestXML := PAnsiChar(aRequestXML);
ResponseXML := nil;
ResponseSize := 0;
callBackResult := DeledCallBack(callBackData);
end;

with callBackData do begin

// copy response
SetString(Result, ResponseXML, ResponseSize);

RequestID := PR_FREEMEM; // release ResponseXML
callBackResult := DeledCallBack(callBackData);
end;

Good find! Cool

Btw, I'm not actively maintaining the DeleD & plugin sourcecode anymore (don't even have Delphi installed atm) so I'm not going to alter it in the code myself. But very nice job - and do keep at it, because I like learning things like this. Smile

Yes I know, you're working on a Web based version, very nice indeed Smile
