AmazonSecrets Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The AmazonSecrets class provides an easy-to-use interface for Amazon's Secrets Manager service.
Syntax
class cloudkeys.AmazonSecrets
Remarks
The AmazonSecrets class makes it easy to work with the Amazon Secrets Manager service in a secure manner using TLS. Amazon Secrets Manager allows you to securely store secrets (e.g., passwords, symmetric keys, etc.) in the cloud so that the aren't persisted locally. This class helps you to create, manage, and access those secrets.
To begin, register for an AWS account and obtain an access_key and secret_key to use for authentication.
Resource Terminology
A secret in Amazon Secrets Manager is a container for one or more secret versions, which is where secret data is actually stored. Each secret version can have between zero and 20 staging labels attached to it at any given time.
A staging label is a simple string that can be used instead of a version Id to refer to a particular secret version when retrieving secret data. A staging label can only be attached to one version of a secret at any given time. The server ensures that there is always exactly one version of a secret with the special staging label AWSCURRENT, but otherwise you are free to apply any staging labels to any secret versions you choose.
Secret versions that do not have any staging labels attached to them are considered deprecated, and the server may delete them at any time without warning. Deprecated secret versions are not shown in a secret's version list unless explicitly asked for.
Using the Class
The create_secret method will create a new secret with an initial secret version that holds the specified secret data. To change a secret's data, create a new version of it using the create_version method.
To retrieve a secret's data, call the get_secret method, and specify the specific version (either by Id or using a staging label) whose data should be retrieved. If no particular version is specified, the version with the AWSCURRENT staging label is used.
Secrets that will no longer be used can be deleted using the delete_secret method, either immediately or after a waiting period. If a secret is scheduled for deletion later, then during said waiting period the deletion can be canceled using cancel_deletion.
// Creates a new secret with the textual data "Test123" named MySecret.
// The initial secret version will have only the "AWSCURRENT" staging label.
amazonsecrets.SecretString = "Test123";
amazonsecrets.CreateSecret("MySecret", "A description of my secret.");
// Creates a new secret version with the textual data "Cats456" and
// attaches the staging labels "AWSCURRENT" (which gets moved from the previous version)
// and "best-version" to it.
amazonsecrets.SecretString = "Cats456";
amazonsecrets.CreateVersion("MySecret", "AWSCURRENT,best-version");
// Downloads the latest secret version's data to a local file.
amazonsecrets.LocalFile = "C:\temp\secret.txt";
amazonsecrets.GetSecret("MySecret", "", "");
// Schedules the secret, and all its versions, for deletion after 10 days.
amazonsecrets.DeleteSecret("MySecret", 10);
// Cancels the scheduled deletion.
amazonsecrets.CancelDeletion("MySecret");
To list secrets, use the list_secrets method. To list a secret's versions, use the list_versions method.
// If there are many secrets to list, there may be multiple pages of results. This will
// cause all pages of results to be accumulated into the Secrets collection property.
do {
amazonsecrets.ListSecrets();
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(amazonsecrets.SecretMarker));
// A similar thing applies to secret versions as well.
do {
amazonsecrets.ListVersions("MySecret");
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(amazonsecrets.VersionMarker));
The class also supports other functionality, including:
- Adding, removing, and moving staging labels between secret versions using move_staging_label.
- Retrieval of information for a single secret with get_secret_info.
- Random password generation using gen_random_password.
- And more!

This property is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy.
Syntax
def get_proxy_auth_scheme() -> int: ... def set_proxy_auth_scheme(value: int) -> None: ...
proxy_auth_scheme = property(get_proxy_auth_scheme, set_proxy_auth_scheme)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are set.
proxy_auth_scheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, proxy_auth_scheme is authBasic (0), and if the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.
For security reasons, setting this property will clear the values of proxy_user and proxy_password.
proxy_auto_detect Property
This property tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available.
Syntax
def get_proxy_auto_detect() -> bool: ... def set_proxy_auto_detect(value: bool) -> None: ...
proxy_auto_detect = property(get_proxy_auto_detect, set_proxy_auto_detect)
Default Value

proxy_password = property(get_proxy_password, set_proxy_password)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to Basic Authentication, the proxy_user and proxy_password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to Digest Authentication, the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If proxy_auth_scheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
proxy_port Property
This property contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80).
Syntax
def get_proxy_port() -> int: ... def set_proxy_port(value: int) -> None: ...
proxy_port = property(get_proxy_port, set_proxy_port)
Default Value
80
Remarks
This property contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy proxy_server (default 80). See the description of the proxy_server property for details.

ssl_provider = property(get_ssl_provider, set_ssl_provider)
Default Value
0
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.

60
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 do_events 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 fails with an error.
Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. 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.

create_version Method
Creates a new secret version.
Syntax
def create_version(secret_id: str, staging_labels: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method creates a new version of the secret specified by SecretId. The secret data is taken from the specified local_file or the secret_data or secret_string property; it may be up to 65536 bytes in length. The Id of the newly-created secret version is returned.
The value passed for SecretId must the ARN or name of a secret in the current account and region.
The value passed for StagingLabels must be a comma-separated list of staging labels to attach to the new version; up to 20 staging labels can be attached to a secret version. If empty string is passed, AWSCURRENT is assumed. The server may do the following things depending on which staging labels are specified:
- If any of the specified staging labels are currently attached to other versions of this secret, they are moved from those versions to the new one.
- If the AWSCURRENT staging label is attached to the new version, the server will automatically move the AWSPREVIOUS staging label to the version that AWSCURRENT was previously attached to.
delete_secret Method
Deletes a secret and all of its versions.
Syntax
def delete_secret(secret_id: str, days_to_wait: int) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method deletes the secret specified by SecretId, and all of its versions, either immediately or after a waiting period depending on the value passed for DaysToWait.
The value passed for SecretId must the ARN or name of a secret in the current account and region.
If 0 is passed for DaysToWait, the secret is deleted immediately. Otherwise, DaysToWait must be a value in the range 7 to 30 (inclusive), which will cause the secret to be scheduled for deletion. During the waiting period:
- The secret's data cannot be retrieved from any secret version.
- The deletion can be canceled by calling the cancel_deletion method.
do_events Method
Processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
def do_events() -> None: ...
Remarks
When do_events is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
gen_random_password Method
Returns a server-generated random password that complies with the given criteria.
Syntax
def gen_random_password(length: int, lowercase: bool, uppercase: bool, numbers: bool, punctuation: bool, spaces: bool, exclude_chars: str, require_each: bool) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method requests and returns a random password generated by the server based on a number of criteria.
The Length parameter specifies how long the password must be; it must be a value in the range 1 to 4096 (inclusive).
The Lowercase, Uppercase, Numbers, Punctuation, and Spaces parameters specify whether the server is allowed to include characters of each type. The Lowercase and Uppercase types cover ASCII characters only. For Punctuation, the applicable characters are: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
The ExcludeChars parameters specifies a list of characters that must not be included in the password. For example, passing &" - would exclude ampersands, double quotes, spaces, and hyphens.
The RequireEach parameter specifies whether the server must include at least one of each allowed character type in the password.
get_secret Method
Retrieves a secret version's data.
Syntax
def get_secret(secret_id: str, version_id: str, staging_label: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method retrieves the secret data held by a version of the secret specified by SecretId. The exact version whose data should be retrieved is specified by either VersionId or StagingLabel (if both are specified, the latter is ignored). If neither are specified, the data from the secret version with the AWSCURRENT staging label is retrieved.
The value passed for SecretId must the ARN or name of a secret in the current account and region.
The secret data is returned via the specified local_file or the secret_data or secret_string property.
get_secret_info Method
Gets information about a secret.
Syntax
def get_secret_info(secret_id: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method gets information about the secret specified by SecretId.
When the information is returned, the class clears the Secret* properties and repopulates them with a single item that contains the secret's information, and also repopulates the Version* properties (however, not all properties are populated). The on_secret_list and on_version_list events are also fired.
list_secrets Method
Lists secrets in the current account and region.
Syntax
def list_secrets() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method lists the secrets in the current account and region. Note that, by default, secrets that have been scheduled for deletion are not included in the results; the IncludeDeleted configuration setting can be used to control this behavior.
Calling this method will fire the on_secret_list event once for each secret, and will also populate the Secret* properties. If the AlwaysParseVersions configuration setting is enabled, each secret's basic version information will also be parsed and used to populate the Version* properties and fire the on_version_list event.
If there are still more secrets available to list when this method returns, the secret_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until secret_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Secret* properties.
The MaxSecrets configuration setting can be used to control the maximum number of results to return at once.
list_versions Method
List the secret versions for the specified secret.
Syntax
def list_versions(secret_id: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method lists the secret versions for the secret specified by SecretId. Note that by default, only non-deprecated versions are returned (i.e., those with at least one staging label attached to them); the IncludeDeprecated configuration setting can be used to control this behavior.
Calling this method will fire the on_version_list event once for each secret version, and will also populate the Version* properties.
If there are still more secret versions available to list when this method returns, the version_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until version_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Version* properties.
The MaxSecrets configuration setting can be used to control the maximum number of results to return at once.
move_staging_label Method
Adds, removes, or moves a staging label.
Syntax
def move_staging_label(secret_id: str, staging_label: str, from_version_id: str, to_version_id: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method adds, removes, or moves a staging label between versions of the secret specified by SecretId.
The value passed for SecretId must the ARN or name of a secret in the current account and region.
The StagingLabel parameter specifies the staging label that should be added, removed, or moved. If the staging label is AWSCURRENT, it cannot be removed, only moved, and the server will automatically move the AWSPREVIOUS staging label to the secret version specified by FromVersionId.
The FromVersionId and ToVersionId parameters specify which version(s) to operate against. When adding a new staging label to a secret version, only ToVersionId must be specified. When removing a staging label from a version, only FromVersionId must be specified. When moving an existing staging label from one version to another, both FromVersionId and ToVersionId must be specified.
reset Method
Resets the class to its initial state.
Syntax
def reset() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method resets the class to its initial state.
send_custom_request Method
Sends a custom request to the server.
Syntax
def send_custom_request(action: str, body: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the server. The value passed for the Action parameter must be one of the actions described in the Amazon Secrets Manager documentation.
When this method is called, the class does the following:
- Builds a request URL, including query parameters, based on the following:
- region
- QueryParam*
- Adds request headers from other_headers.
- Adds the specified request Body, if non-empty.
- Signs the request.
- Sends the request to the server.
- Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeader* properties; and the response body in the specified local_file or secret_data.
If the response body is JSON data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
update_secret Method
Updates a secret's information.
Syntax
def update_secret(secret_id: str, description: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method updates the information of the secret specified by SecretId.
The value passed for SecretId must the ARN or name of a secret in the current account and region.
The Description parameter specifies the secret's new description (which may be empty).
The KMSKeyId configuration setting can also be set before calling this method to change the AWS KMS key used to encrypt the secret. However, if the KMS key used to encrypt a secret is changed, it is important that the secret's data be updated at least once using create_version. When a new version is created, the server decrypts the secret using the old KMS key and re-encrypts it using the new one. If the old KMS key is deleted or disabled before this occurs, the server will no longer be able to decrypt the secret, effectively causing its data to be lost.
on_end_transfer Event
This event fires when a document finishes transferring.
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsEndTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsEndTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_end_transfer.setter def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks

Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
on_header Event
This event is fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsHeaderEventParams(object): @property def field() -> str: ... @property def value() -> str: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_header() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsHeaderEventParams], None]: ... @on_header.setter def on_header(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsHeaderEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.
If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
on_log Event
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsLogEventParams(object): @property def log_level() -> int: ... @property def message() -> str: ... @property def log_type() -> str: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_log() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsLogEventParams], None]: ... @on_log.setter def on_log(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsLogEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks

3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
Message is the log entry.
LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:
- "Info"
- "RequestHeaders"
- "ResponseHeaders"
- "RequestBody"
- "ResponseBody"

on_ssl_server_authentication Event
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object): @property def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ... @property def cert_subject() -> str: ... @property def cert_issuer() -> str: ... @property def status() -> str: ... @property def accept() -> bool: ... @accept.setter def accept(value) -> None: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_server_authentication.setter def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
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.
on_ssl_status Event
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsSSLStatusEventParams(object): @property def message() -> str: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_status.setter def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

on_start_transfer Event
This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsStartTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsStartTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_start_transfer.setter def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_start_transfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
on_transfer Event
This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
class AmazonSecretsTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... @property def bytes_transferred() -> int: ... @property def percent_done() -> int: ... @property def text() -> bytes: ... # In class AmazonSecrets: @property def on_transfer() -> Callable[[AmazonSecretsTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_transfer.setter def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AmazonSecretsTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).
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.
on_version_list Event
Fires once for each secret version when listing secret versions.
Syntax

Remarks
This event fires once for each secret version returned when list_versions, get_secret_info, or (if the AlwaysParseVersions configuration setting is enabled) list_secrets is called. Note that CreationDate and LastAccessDate are only populated when list_versions is called.
SecretARN reflects the Amazon resource name of the secret this is a version of.
SecretName reflects the name of the secret this is a version of.
VersionId reflects the Id of the secret version.
StagingLabels reflects a comma-separated list of staging labels attached to the secret version.
CreationDate reflects the secret version's creation date, in seconds since the Unix epoch (including fractional seconds).
LastAccessDate reflects the secret version's last access date, in seconds since the Unix epoch. It provides date-level resolution only, the time is not included.
AmazonSecrets Config Settings
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.AmazonSecrets Config Settings
By default, this setting is enabled, allowing all pages of results to be accumulated in the appropriate collection properties.
If this setting is enabled, the class will also parse version information included in each secret item returned when list_secrets is called, and all secrets' version information will be accumulated in Version* and exposed via on_version_list.
The class supports key-based credential profiles; i.e., those which include the aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, and (optionally) aws_session_token elements. Role-based profiles are not supported at this time.
In addition to the authentication-related elements mentioned above, the class also supports the region element, if it is present in the specified profile.
The class searches for the specified profile's information in the credentials and config files. The AWSProfileDir setting can be used to configure the directory where the class looks for these files. If the aforementioned files do not exist, or the specified profile cannot be found or is missing information, an error will occur.
By default, this setting is empty, which will cause the class to check the default location used by the AWS CLI: an .aws directory in the current user's home directory; i.e., %UserProfile%\.aws (Windows) or ~/.aws (Linux/macOS).
By default, this setting is disabled, and secret scheduled for deletion are not included in the list_secrets results.
By default, this setting is disabled, and deprecated secret versions are not included in the list_versions results.
This setting can also be set before calling update_secret to change the KMS key used to encrypt the secret; refer to that method's documentation for more information.
If this setting is -1 (default), the server chooses an appropriate default. Otherwise, the setting must be set to a value in the range 1 to 100.
When the secret data is provided via the secret_data or the secret_string property, the class always knows which field to store the data in based on which property is populated. However, when data is provided via a local_file , the class cannot determine which field is more suitable, so it chooses based how this setting is set.
By default, this setting is enabled, and the class will use the binary data field to store the secret data in the cases described above. Disabling this setting will cause the class to use the textual data field instead. Note that attempting to send non-textual data when this setting is disabled is likely to result in data loss or other problems.
In order for the class to be able to auto-obtain authentication credentials, the EC2 instance must have an "instance profile" with an appropriate IAM role attached to it. Refer to the "Using an IAM Role to Grant Permissions to Applications Running on Amazon EC2 Instances" page in the Amazon IAM documentation for more information.
By default, this setting is False. When set to True the class will do the following before each request:
- Make a request against the EC2 instance to get the name of the role attached to it.
- Make a request against the metadata service to initiate a session. The request returns a token that must be included in subsequent requests.
- Parse the response, automatically populating the access_key and secret_key properties and the SessionToken configuration setting.
- Execute the original request using the temporary security credentials that were acquired.
Note: This setting is ignored if the AWSProfile setting is set to a profile that includes credential information.
By default, this setting is disabled, and the normal (non-FIPS) endpoint is used.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XText, XParent, XSubTree, XChildCount, XChildName[i], and XChildXText[i] providing other properties of the element.
XPath Syntax
XPath syntax is available for both XML and JSON documents. An XPath is a series of one or more element accessors separated by the / character, for example: /A/B/C/D. An XPath can be absolute (i.e., it starts with /), or it can be relative to the current xpath location.
The following are possible values for an element accessor, which operates relative to the current location specified by the XPath accessors which proceed it in the overall XPath string:
Accessor | Description |
name | The first element with a particular name. Can be *. |
[i] | The i-th element. |
name[i] | The i-th element with a particular name. |
[last()] | The last element. |
[last()-i] | The element i before the last element. |
name[@attrname="attrvalue"] | The first element with a particular name that contains the specified attribute-value pair.
Supports single and double quotes. (XML Only) |
. | The current element. |
.. | The parent element. |
XPath Examples
Assuming the following XML response:
<firstlevel> <one>value</one> <two> <item>first</item> <item>second</item> </two> <three>value three</three> </firstlevel>
Or, alternatively, the following JSON response:
{ "firstlevel": { "one": "value", "two": ["first", "second"], "three": "value three" } }
Here are some examples of valid XPaths:
Description | XML XPath | JSON XPath |
Document root | / | /json |
Specific element | /firstlevel/one | /json/firstlevel/one |
i-th child | /firstlevel/two/item[2] | /json/firstlevel/two/[2] |
This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but should provide a general idea of the possibilities.
The current element is specified via the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
The current element is specified in the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.
The auth_scheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time user and password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
The default value is False.
If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new url is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the class fails with an error.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, user and password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A on_redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the on_redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class fails with an error instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is False.
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. Note: The CodePage setting must be set to a value capable of interpreting the specified host name. For instance, to specify UTF-8, set CodePage to 65001. In the C++ Edition for Windows, the *W version of the class must be used. For instance, DNSW or HTTPW.
Note: This setting is applicable only to Mac/iOS editions.
When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.
Override the default with the name and version of your software.
TCPClient Config Settings
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.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
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.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
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.
In multi-homed 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 local_host 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by local_port after the connection is established.
local_port cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an eol string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the on_data_in 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 on_data_in 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.

SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the on_ssl_status event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this setting has no effect if ssl_provider is set to Platform.
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 etc). OpenSSL recommends to use the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
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
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
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".
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.
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.
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
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 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 only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
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 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 only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the on_ssl_status event.
Use this 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 config setting.
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 ssl_provider is set to Platform:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) [Platform Only] |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) [Platform Only] |
SSLEnabledProtocols - TLS 1.3 Notes
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the ssl_provider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions which are designed to run on Windows ssl_provider 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 only supported 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 only available 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 the above 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 ssl_provider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and ssl_provider needs to be set to platform.
This setting is only applicable when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the on_ssl_server_authentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
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 traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This setting is only applicable when ssl_provider is set to Internal.

The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the class fails with an error.
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 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.
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and ssl_provider 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)
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 setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified 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:

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to True. This is a static setting which applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is only applicable on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS-compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to False by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to True by default.
To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
