The Webhelp is hosted by site44.com and its address is (say) https://myhelp.site44.com.
I need my program to be able to open the webhelp in the user's default browser. The old way was to transmit the password in the URL like so:
Code: Select all
https://password=mypassword@myhelp.site44.com
Code: Select all
sCommand := 'https://password=mypassword@myhelp.site44.com';
{$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
ShellExecute(0, 'OPEN', PChar(sCommand), '', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL);
{$ENDIF MSWINDOWS}
{$IFDEF POSIX}
_system(PAnsiChar('open ' + '"' + AnsiString(sCommand) + '"'));
{$ENDIF POSIX}
I know you are not familiar with Firemonkey but I am hoping you may be able to indicate some general approach to programmatically accessing Webhelp on an https site. If you can do so, then maybe I can adapt the approach to Firemonkey.
I've tried asking on the Firemonkey section of Stackoverflow but so far none of the Firemonkey experts there have been able to assist.
