HTMLMailer Module

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The HTMLMailer Module is used to send HTML emails, including embedded images.

Syntax

IPWorksEDI.HTMLMailer

Remarks

The HTMLMailer Class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections (RFC 2487). When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The class sends a message (provided in MessageHTML and MessageText). The HTML message may contain references to images that are automatically embedded into the message.

The MessageHTML property contains the HTML version of the message. The corresponding plaintext version is provided in the MessageText property.

When MessageHTML is set, the class automatically computes a plaintext version of the text and puts it into MessageText. You may choose to override this default text with your own version.

The recipients are specified by the SendTo, Cc, and BCc properties, and the message subject by the Subject property.

Once all the appropriate properties have been set, call the Send method and your message will be sent to its intended recipient(s).

Other SMTP headers may be specified through the OtherHeaders property. Information about interaction with the server is provided by the PITrail event.

- (NSString*)attachmentName:(int)attachmentIndex;
- (void)setAttachmentName:(int)attachmentIndex :(NSString*)newAttachmentName;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the path of a file on your system to be sent as an attachment with your message. The class will open the file and encode its contents in MIME format.

Example 1: Adding an Attachment

component.AddAttachment("C:\file1.zip"); component.AddAttachment("C:\file2.zip"); component.Send(); Example 3: Using an Attachments Array

component.AttachmentCount = 1; component.AttachmentName(0) = "name"; component.AttachmentFile(0) = "C:\file.txt";

AuthMechanism Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property is used when connecting to the mail server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var authMechanism: HTMLMailerAuthMechanisms {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum HTMLMailerAuthMechanisms: Int32 {
  case amUserPassword = 0
  case amCRAMMD5 = 1
  case amNTLM = 2
  case amAPOP = 3
  case amSASLPlain = 4
  case amSASLDigestMD5 = 5
  case amKerberos = 6
  case amXOAUTH2 = 7
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=authMechanism,setter=setAuthMechanism:) int authMechanism;

- (int)authMechanism;
- (void)setAuthMechanism :(int)newAuthMechanism;

Default Value

Remarks

This is the authentication mechanism property to be used when connecting to the mail server.

By default, this property is amUserPassword (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the AUTH command is sent to the server for authentication. If this property is set to amCRAMMD5 (1), CRAM-MD5 authentication is used instead.

If this property is set to amNTLM (2), NTLM authentication will be used.

If this property is set to amKerberos (6), Kerberos authentication will be used.

Note: This functionality is available only in Windows.

When set to amXOAUTH2 (7), set User to the username and AuthorizationIdentity to the OAuth token. See AuthorizationIdentity for details.

BCc Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var bcc: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=BCc,setter=setBCc:) NSString* BCc;

- (NSString*)BCc;
- (void)setBCc :(NSString*)newBCc;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for blind carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination. Because no BCc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses, individual recipients never see the list of the other recipients.

The class will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will fire an Error event only if the same thing happens with an email address specified in this property.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Cc Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var cc: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=cc,setter=setCc:) NSString* cc;

- (NSString*)cc;
- (void)setCc :(NSString*)newCc;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination, and a Cc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses. This header is sent to every recipient of the message. If you don't want to copy this information to every recipient, then use blind carbon copies instead (see the description of the BCc).

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Connected Property (HTMLMailer Module)

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var importance: HTMLMailerImportances {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum HTMLMailerImportances: Int32 {
  case miUnspecified = 0
  case miHigh = 1
  case miNormal = 2
  case miLow = 3
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=importance,setter=setImportance:) int importance;

- (int)importance;
- (void)setImportance :(int)newImportance;

LastReply Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property indicates the last reply received from the server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var lastReply: String {
  get {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=lastReply) NSString* lastReply;

- (NSString*)lastReply;

Default Value

Remarks

This property indicates the last reply received from the server. It can be used for informational purposes. The same information and more also can be retrieved through the PITrail event.

This property is read-only.

LocalHost Property (HTMLMailer Module)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var localHost: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localHost,setter=setLocalHost:) NSString* localHost;

- (NSString*)localHost;
- (void)setLocalHost :(NSString*)newLocalHost;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

MailPort Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the server port for SMTP (default 25).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var mailPort: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=mailPort,setter=setMailPort:) int mailPort;

- (int)mailPort;
- (void)setMailPort :(int)newMailPort;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the server port for SMTP (default 25). A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

For an implicit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use port 465 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).

MailServer Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var mailServer: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=mailServer,setter=setMailServer:) NSString* mailServer;

- (NSString*)mailServer;
- (void)setMailServer :(NSString*)newMailServer;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or domain name for a mail relay through which messages will be routed. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

The current version of the class does not provide a default value for the mail relay. You must provide a host name yourself. Generally, any internet host with an SMTP server will suffice (e.g., a UNIX host), but it is preferable to select a MailServer that is close to the machine sending mail.

If this property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

MessageDate Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the date of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var messageDate: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageDate,setter=setMessageDate:) NSString* messageDate;

- (NSString*)messageDate;
- (void)setMessageDate :(NSString*)newMessageDate;

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, then a Date SMTP header is created and attached to the message. If it is an empty string, then the date information is added by the mail relay(s) the message goes through.

Special case: If this property is set to the special value "*", a Date SMTP header reflecting the current date and time is generated when MessageHeaders is computed and the message is sent. This is the default behavior of the class

RFC 822 contains detailed date format specifications. An example of a valid date is "Fri, 1 Mar 96 21:24:52 EST".

MessageHTML Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the HTML version of the message.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var messageHTML: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageHTML,setter=setMessageHTML:) NSString* messageHTML;

- (NSString*)messageHTML;
- (void)setMessageHTML :(NSString*)newMessageHTML;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the HTML version of the message.

When this property is set, the class automatically computes a plaintext version of the text and puts it into MessageText. You may choose to override this default text with your own version.

Example. Setting MessageHTML:

component.MessageHTML = "Hello, my name is Tom";

MessageId Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the message identifier for the message.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var messageId: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageId,setter=setMessageId:) NSString* messageId;

- (NSString*)messageId;
- (void)setMessageId :(NSString*)newMessageId;

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

This property contains the message identifier for the message. When set, the value of MessageId is used as the Message-Id header value of the message. A special value of "*" will automatically generate a random unique identifier for the message.

MessageRecipients Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the collection of recipients of the message.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var messageRecipients: Array<MessageRecipient> {
  get {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageRecipientCount,setter=setMessageRecipientCount:) int messageRecipientCount;

- (int)messageRecipientCount;
- (void)setMessageRecipientCount :(int)newMessageRecipientCount;

- (NSString*)messageRecipientAddress:(int)recipientIndex;
- (void)setMessageRecipientAddress:(int)recipientIndex :(NSString*)newMessageRecipientAddress;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=otherHeaders,setter=setOtherHeaders:) NSString* otherHeaders;

- (NSString*)otherHeaders;
- (void)setOtherHeaders :(NSString*)newOtherHeaders;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains a string of headers to be appended to the message headers created from other properties like SendTo, Subject, and so on.

The headers must be of the format "header: value" as specified in RFC 822. Header lines should be separated by .

Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, message delivery might not be successful.

This property is useful for extending the functionality of the class. A good example is delivery of MIME-encoded messages.

Special case: If this property starts with an empty line (CRLF), then the value of this property is used instead of the normally computed message headers.

Example. Sending an Email with an Additional Header:

component.MailServer = "MyServer"; component.From = "me@server.com"; component.SendTo = "recipient@server.com"; component.Subject = "My Subject"; component.MessageText = "This is the message body."; component.OtherHeaders = "HeaderName: HeaderValue"; component.Send();

- (BOOL)parseHTML;
- (void)setParseHTML :(BOOL)newParseHTML;

Default Value

True

Remarks

This property controls the behavior of the MessageHTML property. If ParseHTML is set to False, you must provide valid values in MessageHTML, MessageText, and Images.

Password Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes a password for logon to the MailServer .

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var password: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=password,setter=setPassword:) NSString* password;

- (NSString*)password;
- (void)setPassword :(NSString*)newPassword;

Default Value

Remarks

If this property is set to a nonempty string, then when connecting to the MailServer an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMechanism) command is sent to provide authentication information for the user.

Priority Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the priority of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var priority: HTMLMailerPriorities {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

  case epUnspecified = 0
  case epNormal = 1
  case epUrgent = 2
  case epNonUrgent = 3
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=priority,setter=setPriority:) int priority;

- (int)priority;
- (void)setPriority :(int)newPriority;

Default Value

Remarks

When this property is set, a priority header will be added to the message. Priority is an indication about the delivery priority of the message. The possible values are epNormal, epUrgent, and epNonUrgent.

ReadReceiptTo Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the email address to send a read-receipt to.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var readReceiptTo: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=readReceiptTo,setter=setReadReceiptTo:) NSString* readReceiptTo;

- (NSString*)readReceiptTo;
- (void)setReadReceiptTo :(NSString*)newReadReceiptTo;

Default Value

Remarks

When this property is set, a Disposition-Notification-To header is added to the message. This property should be set to an email address that should receive the read-receipt.

ReplyTo Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes a mail address to which to reply (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var replyTo: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=replyTo,setter=setReplyTo:) NSString* replyTo;

- (NSString*)replyTo;
- (void)setReplyTo :(NSString*)newReplyTo;

Default Value

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, a Reply-To SMTP header is created for the message. This header shows the address to use for replies, which is useful if this address is different from the one in From.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

SendTo Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for destinations (required).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var sendTo: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}

- (NSString*)sendTo;
- (void)setSendTo :(NSString*)newSendTo;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each of them, and a To SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses.

Examples of valid addresses are as follows: "Friendly Name" <address@company.com> or address@company.com

The class will fail if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will silently ignore the error if the same thing happens with an email address specified in BCc.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

Sensitivity Property (HTMLMailer Module)

- (int)SSLProvider;
- (void)setSSLProvider :(int)newSSLProvider;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are as follows:


0 (sslpAutomatic - default)	Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform)	Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal)	Uses the internal implementation.

Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, the platform implementation will be used by default in all cases in the macOS edition.

1 (sslImplicit)	The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established.
2 (sslExplicit)	The class will first connect in plaintext, and then will explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS.
3 (sslNone - default)	No SSL negotiation; no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode.

Subject Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the subject of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var subject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=subject,setter=setSubject:) NSString* subject;

- (NSString*)subject;
- (void)setSubject :(NSString*)newSubject;

Default Value

Remarks

The string in this property is sent with a Subject SMTP header to the mail recipient.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Timeout Property (HTMLMailer Module)

The timeout for the module.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var timeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

User Property (HTMLMailer Module)

This property includes the user identifier needed to log in as in the MailServer .

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var user: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=user,setter=setUser:) NSString* user;

- (NSString*)user;
- (void)setUser :(NSString*)newUser;

Default Value

Remarks

If this property is set to a nonempty string, then when connecting to the MailServer an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMechanism) command is sent to provide authentication information for the user.

AddAttachment Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This adds FileName as an attachment.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func addAttachment(fileName: String) throws -> Void

- (void)addAttachment:(NSString*)fileName;

Remarks

This method adds the file name as an attachment. The full list of attachments is contained in the Attachments property.

Example 1: Adding an Attachment

component.AddAttachment("C:\file1.zip"); component.AddAttachment("C:\file2.zip"); component.Send(); Example 3: Using an Attachments Array

component.AttachmentCount = 1; component.AttachmentName(0) = "name"; component.AttachmentFile(0) = "C:\file.txt";

CalcMessageText Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method populates MessageText with the plaintext version of the message.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func calcMessageText() throws -> Void

- (void)calcMessageText;

Remarks

This method parses MessageHTML or HTMLFile and calculates a plaintext version of the message. The plaintext version is stored in the MessageText property.

Calling this method is optional. When the Send method is called, the class will automatically calculate a plaintext version of the message. This may be called in cases in which the plaintext version will be set explicitly. For instance:

component.MessageHTML="<html><body>Test Message</body></html>"; component.CalcMessageText(); component.MessageText = "A new custom plaintext message";

Config Method (HTMLMailer Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Connect Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func connect() throws -> Void

- (void)connect;

Remarks

This method connects to the mail relay and sends the SMTP HELO command, thus preparing to send messages. Any number of messages can later be sent using the Send method.

Example. Connecting and Sending an Email:

control.MailServer = "MyServer" control.From = "me@server.com" control.SendTo = "recipient@server.com" control.Subject = "My Subject" control.MessageText = "This is the message body" control.Connect() control.Send() control.Disconnect()

Disconnect Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method disconnects from the SMTP server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func disconnect() throws -> Void

- (void)disconnect;

Remarks

This method disconnects from the mail relay.

DoEvents Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func processQueue(queueDir: String) throws -> Void

- (void)processQueue:(NSString*)queueDir;

Remarks

This method sends the messages that previously have been queued into QueueDir. The PITrail event shows the interaction with the server as messages are processed.

This method looks in the directory for files with the extension ".queued" and starts processing them.

When processing starts, the file extension is changed to ".sending". If an error happens at this stage, the sending process is aborted, and the file extension is changed to ".failed".

If the file is successfully sent, the file is normally deleted, unless the KeepQueue configuration setting is set to True, in which case the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the queue file is not deleted.

Queue Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method queues the message into QueueDir .

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func queue(queueDir: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)queue:(NSString*)queueDir;

Remarks

This method queues the message into QueueDir. The message is queued into a unique file into the directory QueueDir for future processing.

QueueDir must already exist, or an error will be generated. Alternatively, QueueDir may be set to "*" to return the result as a string instead of writing it to a file.

This method returns the name of the unique queue file created in QueueDir. The file extension is ".queued".

Please refer to the ProcessQueue method for more information on email queue processing.

Remarks

This method resets all the message headers to "" (empty string). Use this method before creating a new message, so that headers from the previous message are not carried over to the next one.

Send Method (HTMLMailer Module)

This method sends the current message and MIME-encoded attachment.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func send() throws -> Void

- (void)send;

Remarks

This method sends the current message and MIME-encoded attachment. If the class is not connected to the mail relay, a connection is created, the message is sent, and then the connection is closed unless an error occurs.

If the class is already connected (by use of the Connect method), the connection will remain open after the message is sent. To disconnect, call the Disconnect method.

Example. Send an HTML Email:

HTMLMailerControl.MailServer = "myserver" HTMLMailerControl.SendTo = "recipient@myserver.com" HTMLMailerControl.From = "me@myserver.com" HTMLMailerControl.Subject = "My Subject" HTMLMailerControl.MessageHTML = "Hello, my name is Tom" HTMLMailerControl.Send

	Firewall connection complete.
	Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable).
	Remote host connection complete.
	Remote host disconnected.
	SSL or S/Shell connection broken.
	Firewall host disconnected.

StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

EndTransfer Event (HTMLMailer Module)

This event is fired when the message text completes transferring.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onEndTransfer(direction: Int32)

- (void)onEndTransfer:(int)direction;

Remarks

If MessageText is not empty, the EndTransfer event is fired when the MessageText finishes transferring from the local host to the MailServer. If MessageText is empty, the event is not fired.

If a file is attached to the MessageText via the AttachedFile property, then EndTransfer fires again when the file finishes transferring. For more information, go to the description of the AttachedFile property.

- (void)onPITrail:(int)direction :(NSString*)message;

Remarks

The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of the interaction between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.

The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:


0 (Client)	The `Message` originates from the client.
1 (Server)	The `Message` originates from the server.
2 (Info)	The `Message` is an informative message originating from the client software (the class code).

SSLServerAuthentication Event (HTMLMailer Module)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (HTMLMailer Module)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

Remarks

If MessageText is not empty, the StartTransfer event is fired when the MessageText starts transferring from the local host to the MailServer. If MessageText is empty, the event is not fired.

If a file is attached to the MessageText via the AttachedFile property, then StartTransfer fires again when the file starts transferring. Please go to the description of the AttachedFile property for more information.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Transfer Event (HTMLMailer Module)

This event is fired when the message text is transferred to MailServer .

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onTransfer(direction: Int32, bytesTransferred: Int64, percentDone: Int32, text: Data)

- (void)onTransfer:(int)direction :(long long)bytesTransferred :(int)percentDone :(NSData*)text;

Remarks

One or more Transfer events are fired during message delivery. Messages consist of MessageText and an optional AttachedFile. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes sent starting from the beginning of MessageText or AttachedFile.

Text contains the current portion of the message being sent.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Config Settings (HTMLMailer Module)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

HTMLMailer Config Settings

AttachmentEncoding[index]: Content-Transfer-Encoding for attached file (at index).

This configuration setting allows you to set the Content-Transfer-Encoding for each attached file in the Attachments array property. Valid array indices are from 0 to AttachmentCount -1. When set to one of the following integer values, the attachment will be encoded using the specified encoding. The following encodings are supported:


0	7-bit
1	Quoted-Printable
2	Base64
3	8-bit

AttachmentText[index]: Add the text into the attachment at the specified index.

If this is set, text will be added into the attachment at the specified index. All data entered must be hex-encoded data. The class will then decode the hex-encoded data and insert the data into the attachment.

AttachmentType[index]: Content-type for attached file (at index).

This configuration setting allows you to set the Content-Type for each attached file in the Attachments array property. Valid array indices are from 0 to AttachmentCount -1. To set the Content-Type for the attachment at index 2, you would set the string "AttachmentType[2]=application/octet-stream".

Charset: When set, the charset Content-Type attribute will be added using the specified value.

This property is used to specify the "charset" Content-Type attribute for both the HTML (MessageHTML) and plain text (MessageText) part headers. The default value is "" (empty string) in which case the charset attribute will not be added to the Content-Type header.

ExcludeTags: Specifies tags that will be excluded when calculating MessageText.

This property can be used to specify tags that will be excluded when the class calculates MessageText after MessageHTML has been set. Set this to a comma-separated list of tags, like "script,style". The default value is an empty string, so all tags will be included in MessageText.

MessageTextEncoding: When set, the MessageHTML and MessageText values will be encoded using the specified encoding.

When set to one of the following integer values, both the MessageHTML and MessageText properties will be encoded using the specified encoding. The "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header will also be set for both the HTML and plain text parts. The following encodings are supported:


0	7-bit
1	Quoted-Printable
2	Base64
3	8-bit

OverrideFileName: If set to true, the AttachmentName property value will be used to set the MIME part FileName attribute.

When set to True, the AttachmentsName value specified will be used to set the FileName attribute of the Content-Disposition header. The default value is False, in which case, the component will use the same name as the file being added.

TempFilePath: If set, the temporary files created during message creation will be put in the path specified.

The TempFilePath configuration sets the path at which the temporary files will be created.

UseTempFile: Determines if temporary files are used during message creation.

When , the class will create temporary files on disk at the path specified by TempFilePath as necessary during message creation. Set this to , to disable the creation of temporary files. When set to , the message will be created entirely in memory. The default value is .

SMTP Config Settings

AllowEmptyTo: If set to True, then the SendTo property is not required.

Normally, the SendTo property is required to send a message. If AllowEmptyTo is True, then this is not the case, and messages can be sent with just one or both of Cc and BCc set.

AuthorizationIdentity: The value to use as the authorization identity when SASL authentication is used.

When AuthMechanism is set to amXOAUTH2, you may use this configuration setting to specify an authorization identity to be used when authenticating. In the case of amXOAUTH2, this should be your OAUTH authorization string. For instance:

Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q

Note: When using amXOAUTH2, User must be specified, but Password is not required.

Charset: When set, the message headers will be encoded using the specified Charset.

This configuration setting is used to specify the "charset" to be used to encode the message headers. For example, to use UTF-8 you can set this property to "UTF-8". The default value is "" (empty string) in which case the headers will not be encoded.

Hello: The argument for HELO (herald) command to the server (defaults to local host name).

The Hello property specifies a string to send to the MailServer at connection time as an argument to the SMTP HELO command. This generally identifies the host sending mail, and that is why the Hello property defaults to the name of the local host. The property is provided in case the class does not accept the default value and a custom value (e.g., a fully qualified domain name) must be sent.

If AllowExtensions is True, the EHLO command will be sent instead of the HELO command.

KeepQueue: If set to True, queued files are not deleted after a successful send.

Normally, ProcessQueue deletes queued files after processing them. If KeepQueue is True, then the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the files are not deleted.

MaxHeaderLength: Maximum length for headers to avoid line folding (default 80).

The MaxHeaderLength specifies the maximum line length supported by the mail delivery system. Any headers longer than MaxHeaderLength are folded as specified in RFC 822.

It is generally a good idea to use a MaxHeaderLength of less than 100 bytes, although different mail relays and mail servers have different requirements for header lengths.

MessageHeadersString: String representation of RFC822-encoded headers of the message.

This setting holds the full headers of the message in RFC 822 format. Use this along with TransferText to store the entire message in RFC 822 format.

Example: smtp1.Send(); string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");

MessageIdAlgorithm: Determines the algorithm used to hash the random MessageId.

The MessageIdAlgorithm specifies which algorithm to use in the hash for the MessageId when the property is set to "*". The default value is "SHA1".

Possible values are as follows:

"MD5"
"SHA1" (default)
"SHA256"

OtherHeaders: An RFC 822 compliant string consisting of extra headers.

This is the same as the OtherHeaders property. This configuration setting is exposed for use by classs that are inherited from SMTP.

ReturnPath: Sets the Return-Path to be used for sending email.

This is the same as the ReturnPath property. This configuration setting is exposed for use by classs that are inherited from SMTP.

SendRSET: Whether to send RSET command.

By default, the class will periodically send the RSET command to the server. Changing this configuration setting to False will prevent the RSET command from being sent. This can be useful when interacting with some servers that do not respond properly to the RSET command.

StopOnBccErrors: Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the BCCs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Bcc address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every Bcc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is False.

StopOnCcErrors: Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the CCs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Cc address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every Cc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

StopOnToErrors: Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the TOs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a To address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every To that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

TransferText: String representation of RFC822-encoded body of the message.

This configuration setting holds the full body of the message in RFC 822 format. Use this along with MessageHeadersString to store the entire message in RFC 822 format.

Example: smtp1.Send(); string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");

TCPClient Config Settings

ConnectionTimeout: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect: Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost: Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPassword: Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class .

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort: The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType: Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:


0	No firewall (default setting).
1	Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80.
2	Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
3	Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
10	Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser: A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class .

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveInterval: The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveTime: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger: When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime: Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

LocalHost: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort: The port in the local host where the class binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

MaxTransferRate: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList: A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive: Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay: Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

UseIPv6: Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:


0	IPv4 only
1	IPv6 only
2	IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

SSL Config Settings

LogSSLPackets: Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is False, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.

OpenSSLCADir: The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCAFile: Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCipherList: A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".

OpenSSLPrngSeedData: The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.

ReuseSSLSession: Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to True, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

The target host name is the same.
The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
The application process that calls the function is the same.
The logon session is the same.
The instance of the class is the same.

SSLCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to be included when performing an SSL handshake.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included with the SSLCert property. Some servers or clients require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL authentication. The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp
... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLCheckCRL: Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the class will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The class will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the class .

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

SSLCheckOCSP: Whether to use OCSP to check the status of the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the class will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The class will then locate the issuing certificate and make an HTTP request to the OCSP endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation, the class .

When set to 0 (default), the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

SSLCipherStrength: The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength is largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.

SSLClientCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see SSLServerCACerts for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when SSLAuthenticateClients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLEnabledCipherSuites: The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following: obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES"); Possible values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

SSLEnabledProtocols: Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

This configuration setting is used to enable or disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:


TLS1.3	12288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.2	3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1	768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client)
TLS1	192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client)
SSL3	48 (Hex 30)
SSL2	12 (Hex 0C)

Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.

SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:

By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.

In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.

If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:

The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.

SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:

SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the class when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.

SSLEnableRenegotiation: Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

This configuration setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This configuration setting is by default, but it can be set to to enable the extension.

This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLIncludeCertChain: Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This configuration setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.

If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

SSLKeyLogFile: The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.

This configuration setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLNegotiatedCipher: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength: Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

SSLNegotiatedVersion: Returns the negotiated protocol version.

This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");

SSLSecurityFlags: Flags that control certificate verification.

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be ORed together to exclude multiple conditions:


0x00000001	Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002	Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004	Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010	Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020	Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100	Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200	Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400	Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800	Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000	Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000	Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000	Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name).

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLServerCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL server certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see SSLClientCACerts for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms: Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

This configuration setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the class .

The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance: component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal; component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2 component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa"); The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.

To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.

TLS12SupportedGroups: The supported groups for ECC.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

TLS13KeyShareGroups: The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional roundtrip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.

Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.

In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448"
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1"
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096"
"ffdhe_6144"
"ffdhe_8192"

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms: The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

"ed25519" (default)
"ed448" (default)
"ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
"ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
"ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha512" (default)

The default value is rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448. This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.

TLS13SupportedGroups: The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This configuration setting should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448" (default)
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096" (default)
"ffdhe_6144" (default)
"ffdhe_8192" (default)

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method that does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

FirewallData: Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
