Well, as promised on this fantastic 4th of July weekend I’m delivering everyone a great new version of WWWinamp

Mostly a bug fixer with some improvements to make it easier for people creating their own scripts! There are several users active here on my blog who are creating AJAX enabled skins and it was confusing the rules as to which files were passed to the Scripting Engine and which files were just treated as is.

Well, the rule of thumb in previous versions was that if the file was consided to have a MIME type of “text/html”, it would be sent to the Scripting Engine. This pretty much meant only *.htm and *.html files. At users requests, I’ve added a new configuration key to the WWWinamp.config file (WWWinamp.HTTP.ScriptFiles) which allows users to list which files are actually passed to the Scripting Engine.

Also in this version, I fixed an issue in the WWWinamp.config file which would keep the WCF service from starting.

Because of these changes, I suggest everyone use the WWWinamp.config file packaged with this build and just set back up your default configurations.

If you don’t feel like updating your configuration file.. well.. your WCF service just won’t work and WWWinamp will default back to using “text/html” MIME typed files as scripts.

Here’s the full changelog:

• [HTTP] Better handling of malformed HTTP Requests
• Added more user friendly help to some of the most commonly reported errors
• Added ability to specify file extensions that are sent to the Scripting Engine
• Increased performance of the Scripting Engine
• Fixed issue with WCF endpoint being misconfigured in the WWWinamp.config file

Cheers!
