I posted a general update to my SSDS Examples site this evening. This update contains changes to three samples: The SSDS-Proxy, SSDS Provision Client, and SSDS Deploy.

SSDS-Proxy (1.5) now returns authority lists for the logged in user and has basic support for BLOB files. This also required updates to the internal HttpClient class and the Caching class to support BinaryWrite. More work is needed soon (for example, this version does not support uploading BLOB files), but this is a bit step forward for making both the Proxy and the underlying HttpClient much more versatile.

SSDS Provision Client (1.7) now supports reading and deleting BLOB files (no upload yet). It also returns the list of authorities for the logged-in user. This means it's now possible to update the general login UI to let users login right away and get direct feedback if the login fails.

SSDSDeploy.exe (1.1) has a bug fix for large files. Actually, the existing code had a nasty bug in the routine that declared the async callback method for the upload. This prevented files larger than twice the buffer size from uploading properly. I also added feedback during the upload process in the for of 'progress dots.' Until I update the SSDS-Procy and Provision Client to support BLOB uploads, this is the easiest way to upload BLOB files to your SSDS account.

As usual, I released this demo app on the CodePlex website under SSDS Examples. The same code can be found at my GoogleCode space, too. Of course, all feedback is welcome on the SSDS Feedback page.
