WebOne 0.17.5

[atauenis]

New stable version of WebOne, released 25.05.2025 after 25 commits.

• Added support for online installing of MS Internet Explorer components, such as ActiveX controls.
• Added support for online installing of MS Windows Media Player codecs.
• MSIE and WMP component search engine is configuring via new configuration file section [ActiveXGallery]. This is intended to keep this feature work after shutdown of http://activex.microsoft.com/.
• Added support for online updating Windows Media Player 6.x -> 6.4, 7.0 -> 7.1.
• Improvement in Web-FTP client. Now it is displaying icons for known file types. Also improved the look of its interface.
• Internal content server is now supporting subdirectories.
• Fixed redirection of Firefox 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.x default start pages.
• Fixed 'utf-8; charset=UTF-8' is not a supported encoding name error on some pages.
• Fixed IndexOutOfRangeException in some cases (some error pages).
• Fixed crashing on video converting with an unhandled OverflowException.
• Fixed Microsoft MPEG4 codec online installing in Windows Media Player 6.
• Windows builds: updated bundled versions of FFmpeg, Yt-Dlp applications, used by ROVP. The probably most wanted is that VK Video and VK Clips are now working again after website update.
• WebOne is now using HTTPS for all incoming requests using HTTPS protocol, without waiting for 302 redirect from remote server. Probably this may help a bit with false bot detections. This can be disabled by DontPreferHTTPS=true in configuration.
