CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Updated TDownloadMgr, TRegistrar and TMailListSubscriber re changes to Post* method signatures in parent TDDabStdWebService class.

* Changed Post* methods of TDDabStdWebService to accept TURIParams parameters rather than TStrings or array of string.
* Removed CreateQueryStrings and temporary StringsToParams methods from TDDabStdWebService.

Added overloaded constructors and Add methods of TURIParams to create params from a TStrings object or an array of strings in form Name=Value.

Flattened class heirachy. No classes now descend from TWebService except TDDabStdWebService. Therefore the methods of TWebService were merged into TDDabStdWebService. Virtual methods of TWebService were combined with their overrides in TDDabStdWebService while other methods of TWebService were simply copied into TDDabStdWebService. TWebService was removed and TDDabStdWebService changed to descend from TBaseWebService.

Made minimal modifications to units required to compile with revised web services classes.

* Rewrote TWebService class to descend from new TBaseWebService class.
* Added some temporary support to minimise changes until testing complete.
* Removed all exception definitions from UWebService: these are now in NsWebServices.UExceptions.

New 3rd party MD5 unit required by new TBaseWebService class. This is from the DelphiDabbler code library. This code will eventually replace the third party MD5.pas.

New web services base class in NsWebServices.UBase along with other new units required to support this class: exceptions, character encoding, URI encoding and URI query string parameters. Modified project files accordingly.

Development branch to overhaul web services code.

Merged trunk changes r712-714 into the new-backend branch.
