The HadoopDFS control provides easy access to files stored in HDFS clusters.

Syntax

HadoopDFS

Remarks

The HadoopDFS control offers an easy-to-use API compatible with any Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) cluster that exposes Hadoop's standard WebHDFS REST API. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, file manipulation and organization, and more.

Authentication

First, set the URL property to the base WebHDFS URL of the server (see URL for more details).

Depending on how the server is configured, there are a few different authentication mechanisms that might be used; or, the server might not require authentication at all). Refer to the AuthMechanism property for more information about configuring the control to authenticate correctly.

Addressing Resources

HDFS addresses resources (files, directories, and symlinks) using Linux-style absolute paths. Unless otherwise specified, the control always works in terms of absolute paths, and will always prepend a forward slash (/) to any path passed to it that does not already start with one.

Listing Directory Contents

ListResources lists resources (files, directories, and symlinks) within the specified directory. Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources properties. // ResourceList event handler. hdfs.OnResourceList += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine(e.Name); }; hdfs.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats"); for (int i = 0; i < hdfs.Resources.Count; i++) { // Process resources here. }

Downloading Files

The DownloadFile method downloads files.

If LocalFile is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by ResourceData.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this: hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The control also supports resuming failed downloads by using the StartByte property. If a download is interrupted, set StartByte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.LocalFile = downloadFile; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.

If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the control creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with StartByte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile. hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.EncryptionPassword = "password"; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially download temp file hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(hdfs.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Uploading Files

The UploadFile method uploads new files.

If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ResourceData will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword. hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

Additional Functionality

The HadoopDFS control offers advanced functionality beyond simple uploads and downloads. For instance:

Data Type

Integer

Authorization Property (HadoopDFS Control)

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Token.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.Authorization[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This control supports authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth property, using the OAuth control or a separate process. If using the OAuth property, then the Authorization property will not be used.

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN
Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Refer to AuthMechanism for more information.

Data Type

String

DirSummaryDirCount Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The number of subdirectories within the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryDirCount

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of subdirectories within the directory.

This property reflects the number of subdirectories contained within the directory, calculated recursively. Note that this count will always include the directory itself; i.e., this property would return 1 for a directory with no subfolders.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummaryFileCount Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The number of files within the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryFileCount

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of files within the directory.

This property reflects the number of files contained within the directory, calculated recursively.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummaryNameQuota Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The name quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryNameQuota

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The name quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the name quota imposed on the directory, or -1 if the directory doesn't have a name quota set.

A name quota limits the number of files and directories that can be created within a directory (calculated recursively). Note that a directory's own name is counted against its own quota, so the minimum name quota that may be applied to a directory is 1 (which will force the directory to stay empty).

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummarySize Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The total size of the directory contents, excluding file replicas.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummarySize

Default Value

0

Remarks

The total size of the directory contents, excluding file replicas.

This property reflects the total size (in bytes) of the directory's contents, calculated recursively.

Unlike DirSummarySpaceUsed, this property's value does not take file replicas into account, and thus should not be interpreted as the actual number of bytes the directory's contents use on disk.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummarySpaceQuota Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The space quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummarySpaceQuota

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The space quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the overall space quota (in bytes) imposed on the directory, or -1 if the directory doesn't have a space quota set.

A space quota limits the total number of bytes the files within a directory (or any of its subdirectories) may consume across all storage mediums. Space quotas are tracked separately from each directory's various DirSummaryStorageQuotas, and only one space quota may be applied to any given directory.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummarySpaceUsed Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The total amount of space the directory consumes on disk.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummarySpaceUsed

Default Value

0

Remarks

The total amount of space the directory consumes on disk.

This property reflects the total amount of space (in bytes) that the directory's contents, calculated recursively, consume on disk.

Unlike DirSummarySize, this property's value includes space consumed by file replicas.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummaryStorageQuota Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The storage type quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryStorageQuota

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The storage type quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the storage type quota (in bytes) imposed on the directory for the DirSummaryStorageQuotaType currently selected by DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex.

Storage type quotas limit the number of bytes that files within a directory (or any of its subdirectories) may consume on specific types of storage mediums. Multiple storage type quotas, each associated with a different type of storage medium, may be imposed on a directory simultaneously. Storage type quotas are tracked separately from a directory's overall DirSummarySpaceQuota.

Use DirSummaryStorageQuotaCount to determine how many storage type quotas are imposed on a directory, and DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex to select which storage type quota's information to reflect in the DirSummaryStorageQuota, DirSummaryStorageQuotaType, and DirSummaryStorageQuotaUsed properties.

Note that it is possible for a storage type quota to be imposed on a directory without actually restricting any space usage, in which case this property's value will be -1.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

DirSummaryStorageQuotaCount Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The number of storage type quotas associated with the directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryStorageQuotaCount

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of storage type quotas associated with the directory.

This property reflects the number of storage type quotas associated with the directory. Use the DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex property to select which storage type quota's information to reflect in the DirSummaryStorageQuota, DirSummaryStorageQuotaType, and DirSummaryStorageQuotaUsed properties.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex Property (HadoopDFS Control)

Selects the storage type quota to show information for.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex

Default Value

-1

Remarks

Selects the storage type quota to show information for.

This property selects which storage type quota's information to reflect in the DirSummaryStorageQuota, DirSummaryStorageQuotaType, and DirSummaryStorageQuotaUsed properties; those properties are re-populated when this property's value is changed.

Valid values for this property are -1 to (DirSummaryStorageQuotaCount - 1); invalid indices are ignored. The default value is 0 if DirSummaryStorageQuotaCount is greater than 0, and -1 otherwise.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

DirSummaryStorageQuotaType Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The storage type associated with the storage type quota.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryStorageQuotaType

Default Value

""

Remarks

The storage type associated with the storage type quota.

This property reflects the storage type associated with the storage type quota currently selected by DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

DirSummaryStorageQuotaUsed Property (HadoopDFS Control)

The number of bytes consumed for the storage type quota.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DirSummaryStorageQuotaUsed

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of bytes consumed for the storage type quota.

This property reflects the number of bytes that have been consumed for the storage type quota currently selected by DirSummaryStorageQuotaIndex

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

The encryption password.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.EncryptionPassword[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property is populated when UploadFile or DownloadFile is called, the control will attempt to encrypt or decrypt the data before uploading or after downloading it.

CalcAuthorization Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Calculates the Authorization header based on provided credentials.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.CalcAuthorization 

Remarks

This method calculates the Authorization value using the values provided in AuthScheme, User and Password.

In most cases this method does not need to be called. The control will automatically calculate any required authorization values when a method is called such as Get or Post.

This method may be useful in cases where the Authorization value needs to be calculated prior to sending a request.

Config Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, 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.

DeleteResource Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Deletes a resource.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DeleteResource Path

Remarks

This method deletes the resource at Path.

The RecursiveDelete configuration setting can be used to control whether this method will recursively delete non-empty directories (it is enabled by default).

DoCustomOp Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Executes an arbitrary WebHDFS operation.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DoCustomOp HttpMethod, RequestPath, Op

Remarks

This method can be used to execute any WebHDFS operation the control does not explicitly implement.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

  • GET (default if empty)
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE

RequestPath must either be a valid resource path, or empty string. Op must be a valid WebHDFS operation (refer to the Hadoop WebHDFS documentation for a full list of supported operations).

Usage

When this method is called, the control will do the following:

  1. Build a request URL using URL, RequestPath, Op, and the query parameters held by the QueryParams properties.
  2. Send the request using the given HttpMethod, the request URL built in step 1, the headers held by OtherHeaders, and the currently-configured authentication (if any; refer to AuthMechanism for more information). The request is always sent with an empty body.
  3. Store the response headers in the ParsedHeaders properties, and the response body in the specified LocalFile, or ResourceData (using the same logic as DownloadFile).

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.

DownloadFile Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Downloads a file.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.DownloadFile FilePath

Remarks

This method downloads the file at FilePath.

If LocalFile is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by ResourceData.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this: hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The control also supports resuming failed downloads by using the StartByte property. If a download is interrupted, set StartByte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.LocalFile = downloadFile; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.

If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the control creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with StartByte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile. hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.EncryptionPassword = "password"; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially download temp file hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(hdfs.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

GetDirSummary Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Gets a content summary for a directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.GetDirSummary DirPath

Remarks

This method gets a content summary for the directory at DirPath, populating the DirSummary object property's properties.

DirPath may be empty to get a content summary for the root directory (/).

GetResourceInfo Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Gets information about a specific resource.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.GetResourceInfo Path

Remarks

This method gets information about the resource at Path. Path may be empty to get information about the root directory (/).

Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event, and will populate the Resources properties with a single item (clearing any previously-held items in the process).

Interrupt Method (HadoopDFS Control)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

JoinFileBlocks Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Joins multiple files' blocks together into one file.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.JoinFileBlocks TargetFilePath, SourceFilePaths

Remarks

This method joins the blocks from the files at one or more SourceFilePaths onto the end of the file at TargetFilePath. (If this operations is successful, the original source files will no longer be accessible.)

The order of the source files' paths in SourceFilePaths determines the order in which their blocks are joined onto the file at TargetFilePath.

Usage Constraints

The server imposes a number of constraints that must be satisfied in order for the join operation to complete successfully.

TargetFilePath and SourceFilePaths must both be non-empty.

SourceFilePaths must be specified as a comma-separated list of source file paths, with no duplicates or paths that match TargetFilePath.

Additionally, all files referred to by both TargetFilePath and SourceFilePaths must satisfy the following constraints:

  • All files must already exist.
  • All files must be located in the exact same directory (i.e., all files must be siblings).
  • The block size of all source files must be less than or equal to the block size of the target file.

If any of the above constraints are not satisfied, the server will return an error.

The control will take care of verifying that all parameters are non-empty and that all paths begin with a forward slash (/).

ListResources Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Lists resources in a given directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.ListResources DirPath

Remarks

This method lists resources within the directory at DirPath.

Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources properties.

DirPath may be empty to list resources in the root directory (/). // ResourceList event handler. hdfs.OnResourceList += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine(e.Name); }; hdfs.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats"); for (int i = 0; i < hdfs.Resources.Count; i++) { // Process resources here. }

MakeDirectory Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Makes a directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.MakeDirectory NewDirPath

Remarks

This method makes a new directory at NewDirPath and returns the full path of the new directory. Any non-existent parent directories will also be created.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the directory will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.

MoveResource Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Moves a resource.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.MoveResource FromPath, ToPath

Remarks

This method moves the resource at FromPath to ToPath.

Reset Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Resets the control to its initial state.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method resets the control to its initial state.

SetFileReplication Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Sets the replication factor for a file.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.SetFileReplication FilePath, Replication

Remarks

This method sets the replication factor for the file at FilePath to Replication.

Valid values for Replication are 1 through 32767 (inclusive); or 0 to reset the file's replication factor back to the server default.

SetOwner Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Sets a resource's owner and/or group.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.SetOwner Path, Owner, Group

Remarks

This method set the owner and/or group of the resource at Path to the given values.

If non-empty, Owner must be a valid user name, and Group must be a valid group name. If either parameter is empty, the file's current value will remain unchanged. (If both parameters are empty, no request is sent.)

SetPermission Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Assigns the given permission to a resource.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.SetPermission Path, Permission

Remarks

This method assigns the given Permission to the resource at Path.

Permission must be formatted as an octal permission string. If Permission is empty string, the resource's permission will be reset to the server default (755).

SetTimes Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Sets a resource's modification and/or access times.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.SetTimes Path, ModifiedTime, AccessTime

Remarks

This method sets the modification and/or access times of the resource at Path to the given values.

Both ModifiedTime and AccessTime should be specified as a number of milliseconds relative to the Unix epoch. If either parameter is negative, the file's current value will remain unchanged. (If both parameters are negative, no request is sent.)

TruncateFile Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Truncates a file to a given size.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.TruncateFile FilePath, NewSize

Remarks

This method truncates the file at FilePath to the given NewSize (specified in bytes). NewSize must not be less than 0 or greater than the file's current size.

This method returns if the file has been truncated successfully and is immediately ready for further modifications.

This method returns if the server is still in the process of truncating the file (this could happen, e.g., if the server needs to truncate multiple replicas of the file). In this case, the server will reject any further attempts to modify the file until it has finished truncating it. Monitor the file's size using GetResourceInfo to determine when the truncation process has finished.

UploadFile Method (HadoopDFS Control)

Uploads a file.

Syntax

hadoopdfscontrol.UploadFile NewFilePath

Remarks

This method uploads a new file to NewFilePath and returns the full path of the uploaded file. If a file already exists on the server at NewFilePath, the Overwrite property controls whether the server will overwrite the file or return an error.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the file will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.

If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ResourceData will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword. hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; hdfs.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

EndTransfer Event (HadoopDFS Control)

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

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

Error Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control 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.

Header Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

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).

Log Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

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).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

  • "Info"
  • "RequestHeaders"
  • "ResponseHeaders"
  • "RequestBody"
  • "ResponseBody"
  • "ProxyRequest"
  • "ProxyResponse"
  • "FirewallRequest"
  • "FirewallResponse"

Progress Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_Progress(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, TotalBytes As Long64, PercentDone As Integer)

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the control tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the control will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

ResourceList Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fires once for each resource returned when listing resources.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_ResourceList(Name As String, Path As String, ResourceType As Integer, ModifiedTime As Long64, AccessTime As Long64, Size As Long64, Permission As String, Owner As String, Group As String, Replication As Integer)

Remarks

This event fires once for each resource returned when ListResources or GetResourceInfo is called.

Name is the name of the resource.

Path is the full path of the resource.

ResourceType reflects the resource's type. Possible values are:

0 (hrtFile) A file.
1 (hrtDirectory) A directory.
2 (hrtSymLink) A symlink.

ModifiedTime and AccessTime reflect the resource's last modified and last access times, in milliseconds relative to the Unix epoch.

Size reflects the size of the file, in bytes. Always 0 for directories.

Permission reflects the resource's permission bits, represented as an octal string (e.g., 755).

Owner is the name of the resource's owner.

Group is the name of the resource's group.

Replication reflects the file's replication factor. Always 0 for directories.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

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 (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (HadoopDFS Control)

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The StartTransfer 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.

Transfer Event (HadoopDFS Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub hadoopdfscontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

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.

Config Settings (HadoopDFS Control)

The control 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 control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

HadoopDFS Config Settings

CreatePermission:   The permission to assign when creating resources.

This setting specifies the permission the server should assign to new resources created with UploadFile and MakeDirectory.

This setting must be formatted as an octal string; it is empty by default, causing the server's default (755) to be used.

DownloadTempFile:   The temporary file used when downloading encrypted data.

This setting specifies the temporary file used when downloading encrypted data.

When downloading encrypted data with LocalFile set, the control will automatically create a temporary file at TempPath to hold the encrypted file contents. When the download is complete, the data is decrypted to LocalFile.

If the download is interrupted, the specified file will hold the partially downloaded encrypted file contents. Before resuming the download, this setting must be set to a valid file containing the partially encrypted file contents. See DownloadFile for details.

EncryptionIV:   The initialization vector to be used for encryption/decryption.

When encrypting or decrypting a file, this setting may be set to specify the initialization vector. Normally the control will derive this value automatically from EncryptionPassword.

This setting accepts a hex encoded value.

EncryptionKey:   The key to use during encryption/decryption.

When encrypting or decrypting a file, this setting may be set to specify the key to use. Normally the control will derive this value automatically from EncryptionPassword.

This setting accepts a hex encoded value.

EncryptionPasswordKDF:   The KDF algorithm to use during password based encryption and decryption.

This setting specified the Key Derivation Function (KDF) used to derive a key from the specified EncryptionPassword. Possible values are:

  • 0 (default) - PBKDF1
  • 1 - PBKDF2
Note: PBKDF1 is not FIPS compliant. When operating in FIPS mode PBKDF2 should be used.

HomeDir:   Can be queried to obtain the current user's home directory path.

This setting can be queried to obtain the current user's home directory path. Note that the server does not guarantee that a directory actually exists at the returned path.

ProgressAbsolute:   Whether the control should track transfer progress absolutely.

This setting controls whether the control tracks upload and download progress absolutely or relatively, with regards to the values reported via the Progress event when an interrupted transfer is resumed.

If this setting is enabled (default), then when a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by the Progress event will account for the data that was successfully transferred before the interruption.

If this setting is disabled, then the control will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers, and the values reported by the Progress event will start at 0 rather than from the number of bytes already transferred.

Refer to the Progress event for more information.

ProgressStep:   How often the progress event should be fired, in terms of percentage.

This setting controls how often the control will fire the Progress event during an upload or download, in terms of percentage. Valid values are 0 to 99, inclusive.

The default value, 1, will cause the Progress event to fire each time the event's PercentDone parameter value increases by one percent. Setting this setting to 0 will cause the Progress event to fire every time data is transferred.

Note that the Progress event will always fire once at the beginning and end of a transfer, regardless of this setting's value. Also, if PercentDone cannot be calculated for a particular transfer (e.g., for downloads that use chunked transfer encoding), then the control will behave as if this setting were 0 for the duration of the transfer.

RawRequest:   Returns the data that was sent to the server.

This setting may be queried after calling any method that sends data to the server to obtain the request data that was transmitted. Such data may be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

RawResponse:   Returns the data that was received from the server.

This setting may be queried after calling any method that sends data to the server to obtain the response data that was received. Such data may be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

RecursiveDelete:   Whether to recursively delete non-empty directories.

This setting specifies whether non-empty directories should be recursively deleted when DeleteResource is called.

By default this setting is enabled. If this setting is disabled, non-empty directories must be emptied before they can be deleted.

TempPath:   The path to the directory where temporary files are created.

This setting specifies the path where temporary files are created when downloading encrypted files. If not specified, the system's temporary directory is used. Refer to DownloadTempFile and DownloadFile for more information.

XChildCount:   The number of child elements of the current element.

This configuration settings specifies the number of child attributes of the current element. The XChild configuration settings will be indexed from 0 to (XChildCount - 1).

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XChildName[i]:   The name of the child element.

This configuration setting provides the name of the i-th child element of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XChildXText[i]:   The inner text of the child element.

This configuration setting provides the inner text of the i-th child element of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XElement:   The name of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the name of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XParent:   The parent of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the parent of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XPath:   Provides a way to point to a specific element in the returned XML or JSON response.

The XPath setting allows you to point to specific elements in the XML or JSON response.

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 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.
Note: XPath indices are 1-based.

For example, assume the following XML and JSON responses.

XML:

<firstlevel>
  <one>value</one>
  <two>
    <item>first</item>
    <item>second</item>
  </two>
  <three>value three</three>
</firstlevel>

JSON:

{
  "firstlevel": {
    "one": "value",
    "two": ["first", "second"],
    "three": "value three"
  }
}

The following are examples of valid XPaths for these responses:

DescriptionXML 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 list is not exhaustive, but it provides a general idea of the possibilities.

XSubTree:   A snapshot of the current element in the document.

This configuration setting provides the entirety of the current element (including its subelements).

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XText:   The text of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the inner text of the current element.

The current element is specified in the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

HTTP Config Settings

AcceptEncoding:   Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports.

When AllowHTTPCompression is True, the control adds an Accept-Encoding header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This configuration setting allows you to change the value of the Accept-Encoding header. Note: The control only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.

AllowHTTPCompression:   This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

This configuration setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to True (default), the control will accept compressed data. It then will uncompress the data it has received. The control will handle data compressed by both gzip and deflate compression algorithms.

When True, the control 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.

AllowHTTPFallback:   Whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1.

This configuration setting controls whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fall back to HTTP/1.1 when the server does not support HTTP/2. This setting is applicable only when HTTPVersion is set to "2.0".

If set to True (default), the control will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the control fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

Append:   Whether to append data to LocalFile.

This configuration setting determines whether data will be appended when writing to LocalFile. When set to True, downloaded data will be appended to LocalFile. This may be used in conjunction with Range to resume a failed download. This is applicable only when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

Authorization:   The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

This property is provided so that the HTTP control can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the control.

The AuthScheme 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]".

BytesTransferred:   Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data.

This configuration setting returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, before the component processes the data, whether it is chunked or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

ChunkSize:   Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding.

This is applicable only when UseChunkedEncoding is True. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.

CompressHTTPRequest:   Set to true to compress the body of a PUT or POST request.

If set to True, the body of a PUT or POST request will be compressed into gzip format before sending the request. The "Content-Encoding" header is also added to the outgoing request.

The default value is False.

EncodeURL:   If set to True the URL will be encoded by the control.

If set to True, the URL passed to the control will be URL encoded. The default value is False.

FollowRedirects:   Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the control returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to 1 (always), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

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 control 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 Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the 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 control fails with an error instead.

Following are the valid options:

  • 0 - Never
  • 1 - Always
  • 2 - Same Scheme

GetOn302Redirect:   If set to True the control will perform a GET on the new location.

The default value is False. If set to True, the control will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise, it will use the same HTTP method again.

HTTP2HeadersWithoutIndexing:   HTTP2 headers that should not update the dynamic header table with incremental indexing.

HTTP/2 servers maintain a dynamic table of headers and values seen over the course of a connection. Typically, these headers are inserted into the table through incremental indexing (also known as HPACK, defined in RFC 7541). To tell the component not to use incremental indexing for certain headers, and thus not update the dynamic table, set this configuration option to a comma-delimited list of the header names.

HTTPVersion:   The version of HTTP used by the control.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the control. Possible values are as follows:

  • "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 control 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.

IfModifiedSince:   A date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

If this setting contains a nonempty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: if the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the component throws an exception

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example: Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

KeepAlive:   Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.

If , the component will not send the Connection: Close header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note: Not all servers support persistent connections. If , the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is .

KerberosSPN:   The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.

If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

This configuration setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Log event. Possible values are as follows:

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).

MaxRedirectAttempts:   Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request.

When FollowRedirects is set to any value other than frNever, the control will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20.

NegotiatedHTTPVersion:   The negotiated HTTP version.

This configuration setting may be queried after the request is complete to indicate the HTTP version used. When HTTPVersion is set to "2.0" (if the server does not support "2.0"), then the control will fall back to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which version was used.

OtherHeaders:   Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

This configuration setting can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers.

The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) .

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 control beyond what is provided.

ProxyAuthorization:   The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server.

This is similar to the Authorization configuration setting, but is used for proxy authorization. If this configuration setting contains a nonempty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy Authorization information to the server. If ProxyUser and ProxyPassword are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by ProxyAuthScheme.

ProxyAuthScheme:   The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPassword:   A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPort:   Port for the proxy server (default 80).

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyServer:   Name or IP address of a proxy server (optional).

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

SentHeaders:   The full set of headers as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as sent by the client.

StatusCode:   The status code of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the result code of the last response from the server.

StatusLine:   The first line of the last response from the server.

This setting contains the first line of the last response from the server. The format of the line will be [HTTP version] [Result Code] [Description].

TransferredData:   The contents of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the contents of the last response from the server.

TransferredDataLimit:   The maximum number of incoming bytes to be stored by the control.

If TransferredDataLimit is set to 0 (default), no limits are imposed. Otherwise, this reflects the maximum number of incoming bytes that can be stored by the control.

TransferredHeaders:   The full set of headers as received from the server.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.

TransferredRequest:   The full request as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the full request as sent by the client. For performance reasons, the request is not normally saved. Set this configuration setting to ON before making a request to enable it. Following are examples of this request:

.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"));

UseChunkedEncoding:   Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.

If UseChunkedEncoding is set to True, the control will use HTTP-chunked encoding when posting, if possible. HTTP-chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once. If set to False, the control will not use HTTP-chunked encoding. The default value is False.

Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.

UseIDNs:   Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.

This configuration setting specifies whether hostnames containing non-ASCII characters are encoded to internationalized domain names. When set to True, if a hostname contains non-ASCII characters, it is encoded using Punycode to an IDN (internationalized domain name).

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.

UseProxyAutoConfigURL:   Whether to use a Proxy auto-config file when attempting a connection.

This configuration specifies whether the control will attempt to use the Proxy auto-config URL when establishing a connection and ProxyAutoDetect is set to True.

When True (default), the control will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

UserAgent:   Information about the user agent (browser).

This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default setting is "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com".

Override the default with the name and version of your software.

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 control will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

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

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls 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 controls 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 control fails with an error.

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

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:

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

Note: This setting is provided for use by controls 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 control fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by controls 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 control 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 control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface.

If the control 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 control binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the control 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 control will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the control will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the control 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 control 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 control 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 control will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the control will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The control 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 control fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the control. 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 control will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the control will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The control 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 control fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the control 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
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp
... 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 control 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:

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.

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:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1768 (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 control 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 control 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 control 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 control 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.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm 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("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm 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("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");

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:

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore 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 control 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 control 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 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 control 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 control is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
