The S3 control provides an easy-to-use interface for Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible services.

Syntax

S3

Remarks

The S3 control allows you to access Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3), as well as other S3-compatible services, in a secure manner using Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL). S3-like services allow you to store arbitrary data objects in various buckets and to access them from anywhere with an internet connection.

A brief synopsis follows, but please refer to Amazon's S3 documentation for more information about the general capabilities of S3.

S3 supports the following providers:

  • Amazon S3
  • Backblaze B2
  • Cloudflare R2
  • Digital Ocean Spaces
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • IBM Cloud Object Storage
  • Linode Object Storage
  • Oort DSS
  • Oracle Cloud Object Storage
  • Seagate Lyve Cloud
  • Wasabi
  • And more!

A "custom provider" option also allows you to interact with any S3-compatible API by specifying its base URL.

Getting Started

To begin, use the ServiceProvider property to select the S3 service provider to use. Then, use the AccessKey and SecretKey properties to specify the access key and secret key that the control should use to sign requests. These keys can be obtained after signing up for an account with the selected service provider.

Working with Buckets

S3 services store objects in various buckets. The following methods can be used to interact with the buckets in an S3 account:

Working with Objects

Once the desired buckets are ready, the following methods can be used to interact with objects:

Working with Multipart Uploads

For S3 providers that support them, multipart uploads make it possible to upload very large objects in multiple parts.

Cloudflare R2 Notes

The Cloudflare R2 service provider possesses the following unique requirements and characteristics:

Other Features

The S3 control also supports a variety of other features, including the following:

  • Versioning support
  • Object metadata manipulation
  • Presigned link generation

""

Remarks

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

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

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

The PrefixList event will fire once for each common prefix returned. If the StorePrefixList configuration setting is enabled, the control also will populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings.

Object Hierarchy Traversal

By using the ObjectDelimiter and ObjectPrefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of objects (or object versions) as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that objects with the following names exist within a bucket:

  • MyCompany/
  • MyCompany/Department1/
  • MyCompany/Department2/
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With ObjectDelimiter set to /, we can set ObjectPrefix to successively "deeper" values before calling ListObjects or ListVersions for the following effect:

ObjectPrefix Value ObjectDelimiter Value Objects Returned Prefixes Returned
(empty) /(none) MyCompany/
MyCompany/ /MyCompany/ MyCompany/Department1/

A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

Syntax

s3control.ProxyUser[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Data Type

String

QueryParamCount Property (S3 Control)

The number of records in the QueryParam arrays.

Syntax

s3control.QueryParamCount[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

The array indices start at 0 and end at QueryParamCount - 1.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

QueryParamName Property (S3 Control)

This property specifies the name of the query parameter.

Syntax

s3control.QueryParamName(QueryParamIndex)[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the name of the query parameter.

This property specifies the name of the query parameter.

The QueryParamIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the QueryParamCount property.

Syntax

s3control.QueryParamValue(QueryParamIndex)[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the value of the query parameter.

This property specifies the value of the query parameter. The control will automatically URL encode this value when sending the request.

The QueryParamIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the QueryParamCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Range Property (S3 Control)

This property includes the range of bytes to request.

Syntax

s3control.Range[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the range of bytes to request from the server. If this property is nonempty when a GetObject request is being constructed, a header like Range: bytes=Range will be added to the request, with Range substituted with the specified value.

Following are the two valid formats for this property's value:

  • StartByte-
  • StartByte-EndByte

Note: If the StartByte property is greater than zero when GetObject is called (i.e., when a download is being resumed), and this property is nonempty, the control will automatically advance the StartByte value in the specified range by StartByte bytes when sending the Range header to the server. This ensures that the previously downloaded data at the start of the specified range are not downloaded again when the download is resumed.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Region Property (S3 Control)

This property includes the region the control will make requests against.

Syntax

s3control.Region[=string]

Default Value

"us-east-1"

Remarks

This property controls which region the control will make requests against; it should be changed to create or access resources in other regions.

Each service provider has a different default region, and the control will automatically set this property to the selected service provider's default region anytime ServiceProvider changes. The custom service provider's "default region" is an empty string (i.e., setting ServiceProvider to spCustom (255) will clear this property).

Note: When the custom service provider is selected, the control uses the base URL specified by the ServiceProviderURL configuration setting to generate request URLs. If the base URL contains a %region% token, the control will replace it with this property's value any time it generates a request URL. Refer to the ServiceProviderURL setting's documentation for more information.

Linode Object Storage Regions

Value Region
us-east-1 (default) US East (Newark)
eu-central-1 EU Central (Frankfurt)

Important: Each "region" supported by Linode's Object Storage service is actually a completely standalone storage cluster. These clusters do not interact with each other in any way, which causes the following nonstandard behaviors:

  • Bucket names may be reused in each region (however, they must still be "globally" unique within each region).
  • The ListBuckets method will return only those buckets located in the currently selected region; there is no way to retrieve a list of all regions' buckets.
  • Similarly, the BucketExists and GetBucketLocation methods consider only those buckets located in the currently selected region.
  • The CopyObject method cannot be used to copy objects to a bucket in another region.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CERTMGR control. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SSLAcceptServerCertStore and set SSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

String

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (S3 Control)

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

s3control.SSLServerCertEncoded

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .SSLServerCertEncodedB.

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

Data Type

Binary String

StartByte Property (S3 Control)

This property includes the byte offset from which to resume the upload or download.

Syntax

s3control.StartByte[=long64]

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the byte offset from which to resume an automatic multipart upload initiated by CreateObject, or a download initiated by GetObject. Refer to those methods' documentation for more information about resuming uploads and downloads.

Note: This property is automatically reset to 0 anytime ServiceProvider changes.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

Timeout Property (S3 Control)

The timeout for the control.

Syntax

s3control.Timeout[=integer]

Default Value

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 control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

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

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.

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

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

UseSSL Property (S3 Control)

This method includes whether to use SSL/TLS when connecting.

Syntax

s3control.UseSSL[=boolean]

Default Value

True

Remarks

This property specifies whether the control should use Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) when connecting.

Note: This property is automatically reset to any time ServiceProvider changes. The control will ignore any attempts to change this property if one of the following providers is selected, because they require SSL/TLS to be used:

  • spDigitalOcean (1)
  • spBackblazeB2 (4)
  • spOracle (8)
  • spSeagateLyveCloud (11)

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

UseVirtualHosting Property (S3 Control)

This property determines which URL style to use when making requests.

Syntax

s3control.UseVirtualHosting[=boolean]

Default Value

True

Remarks

If (default), virtual-hosted-style URLs will be used to make requests: http://yourbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/yourobject.

Note: Hosted-style URLs impose more bucket name restrictions because of DNS server naming restrictions. Refer to Amazon's documentation for more information.

If , path-style URLs will be used to make requests: http://s3.amazonaws.com/yourbucket/yourobject.

Note: When using the spAmazonS3 (0) service provider, keep in mind that Amazon has publicly announced that buckets created after September 30, 2020, will only support virtual-hosted-style URLs. Buckets created on or before September 30, 2020, will continue to support both URL styles.

Note: This property is ignored when ServiceProvider is set to one of the following:

  • spAlibaba (6) Alibaba does not support path-style URLs, only virtual-hosted-style URLs.
  • spOracle (8) Oracle Cloud Object Storage does not support virtual-hosted-style URLs, only path-style URLs.
  • spOortDSS (12) Oort DSS does not support virtual-hosted-style URLs, only path-style URLs.

This property is not available at design time.

Remarks

This property will be populated when ListVersions is called if the results are paged and there are more pages. To list all object versions, continue to call ListVersions until this property returns empty string.

Refer to ListVersions for more information.

Note: This property is cleared any time ServiceProvider changes; marker values are valid only when used with the provider that generated them.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AbortMultipartUpload Method (S3 Control)

This method aborts a multipart upload.

Syntax

s3control.AbortMultipartUpload ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method aborts the multipart upload of the object named ObjectName specified by UploadId.

When this method is called, all parts that have been uploaded for the multipart upload are deleted from the server.

Note: If any part of the upload is currently in progress, it may be necessary to call this method again after the upload is complete.

If this method is called successfully, the specified UploadId will no longer be valid.

AddMetadata Method (S3 Control)

Adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties.

Syntax

s3control.AddMetadata Name, Value

Remarks

This method adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties. Name specifies the name of the item, and Value specifies the value of the item. The server stores metadata names in lowercase.

If Name begins with a service-specific metadata (e.g., x-amz-meta-, x-goog-meta-), it will be stripped off. The control will take care of prepending it when sending metadata to the server.

AddQueryParam Method (S3 Control)

This method adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.

Syntax

s3control.AddQueryParam Name, Value

Remarks

This method is used to add a query parameter to the QueryParams properties. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.

All specified Values will be URL encoded by the control automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.

AppendObject Method (S3 Control)

This method appends data to the end of the existing object specified by ObjectName .

Syntax

s3control.AppendObject ObjectName

Remarks

The data to upload are taken from either or ObjectData (whichever data are found first, when checked in that order).

BucketExists Method (S3 Control)

This method checks whether the bucket exists.

Syntax

s3control.BucketExists 

Remarks

This method checks whether the bucket specified by Bucket exists, returning if so or if not.

Note: When ServiceProvider is spLinode (9), this method considers only buckets located in the currently selected Region. Refer to the Linode section of the Region property's documentation for more information.

CheckVersioningEnabled Method (S3 Control)

This method checks whether versioning is enabled for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

s3control.CheckVersioningEnabled 

Remarks

This method can be used to check whether the bucket currently selected by Bucket has versioning enabled.

Note: If Bucket is empty, or refers to a bucket that does not exist, this property will always return when queried, and any attempts to set it will fail. This behavior also occurs if the currently selected service provider does not support versioning at all.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

Note: When ServiceProvider is spBackblazeB2 (4), this property will always return (assuming Bucket is nonempty), and any attempt to change it will fail; Backblaze B2 buckets are always versioned.

CompleteMultipartUpload Method (S3 Control)

This method completes a multipart upload by assembling previously uploaded parts.

Syntax

s3control.CompleteMultipartUpload ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method completes the multipart upload specified by UploadId. The server will assemble all of the parts that have been uploaded into an object named ObjectName.

Note: This method automatically calls ListParts internally to obtain the information needed to complete the multipart upload. This process does not alter the Parts properties, nor does it cause the PartList event to fire. The spCloudflareR2 (10) ServiceProvider does not support the ListParts S3 operation; thus, when that provider is selected, this method instead relies on the part information contained in the PartInfo[i] configuration setting.

Config Method (S3 Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

s3control.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.

CopyObject Method (S3 Control)

This method copies an object.

Syntax

s3control.CopyObject SrcObjectName, DestBucket, DestObjectName

Remarks

This method copies the object specified by SrcObjectName (in the bucket currently selected by Bucket) to the object specified by DestObjectName in DestBucket. If DestBucket is empty, the bucket specified by Bucket is used as the destination bucket.

If the VersionId property is nonempty, the specified version of the source object will be used as the copy source. In this case, DestObjectName may be the same as SrcObjectName to "promote" the version, copying its contents back to the base object.

If any metadata items are present in the Metadata properties, they will set on the destination object; otherwise, the server will copy any metadata items present on the source object to the destination object.

Notes:

  • Objects may be copied only to buckets that exist within the same region.
  • Objects larger than 5 GB cannot be copied using this method. To copy such objects, start a new multipart upload for the destination object using StartMultipartUpload. Then use the CopyPart method to create parts for that multipart upload using the source object's data.

CopyPart Method (S3 Control)

This method copies the specified object as a part of a multipart upload.

Syntax

s3control.CopyPart SrcObjectName, DestBucket, DestObjectName, DestPartNumber, DestUploadId

Remarks

This method copies data from the object specified by SrcObjectName (in the bucket currently selected by Bucket) to a new multipart upload part for DestObjectName in DestBucket.

The DestPartNumber and DestUploadId parameters should be used in the same manner as the UploadPart method's PartNumber and UploadId parameters.

To copy a specific range of bytes from the source object, set the CopyPartRange configuration setting before calling this method.

Note: This method is not supported when ServiceProvider is spGoogleStorage (2).

CreateBucket Method (S3 Control)

This method creates a new bucket.

Syntax

s3control.CreateBucket 

Remarks

This method creates a new bucket using the name specified by the Bucket property. The bucket is created in the region specified by the Region property.

CreateObject Method (S3 Control)

This method creates a new object in the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

s3control.CreateObject ObjectName

Remarks

This method creates a new object named Object in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If any metadata items are present in the Metadata properties, they will be included in the creation request.

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

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.

This method can automatically handle the multipart upload of objects (see below). If it is desired to manually take control of the multipart upload process, see StartMultipartUpload.

Automatic Multipart Uploads

If more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of data are provided, the control will automatically perform a multipart upload by splitting the data up into parts (sized according to the FragmentSize configuration setting) and uploading them individually. To accomplish this, the control automatically makes calls to StartMultipartUpload, UploadPart, and CompleteMultipartUpload internally; tracks the upload state information using the ResumableUploadState configuration setting; and tracks how much data have been uploaded using the StartByte property. The FragmentComplete event will fire after each part is uploaded.

If, during an automatic multipart upload, any individual request fails, the upload can be resumed be calling this method again with the same parameters, so long as ResumableUploadState and StartByte contain the same values as they did when the upload was interrupted.

When an automatic multipart upload completes successfully, ResumableUploadState is cleared and StartByte is reset to 0.

DeleteBucket Method (S3 Control)

This method deletes a bucket.

Syntax

s3control.DeleteBucket 

Remarks

This method deletes the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Note: For some service providers, bucket names share a global namespace, and it may not be possible to recreate a deleted bucket if its name has been taken by another user in the meantime. Refer to the provider's documentation for more information.

DeleteObject Method (S3 Control)

This method deletes an object.

Syntax

s3control.DeleteObject ObjectName

Remarks

This method deletes the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

If the VersionId property is nonempty, this method deletes the specified version of the object instead.

Deleting Versioned Objects

If a bucket has versioning enabled (i.e., CheckVersioningEnabled returns when queried), and this method is called on an object rather than a specific object version, then instead of actually deleting any data, the server will simply create a special object version called a delete marker.

If an object's latest version is a delete marker, then the server treats the object as if it did not exist (i.e., it does not appear when listing objects or it cannot be downloaded). If, however, all of the previous versions of the object (including the one that existed just before the delete marker was created) still exist, then they can be listed using ListVersions and explicitly can be interacted with by setting VersionId and calling an appropriate method.

To permanently delete objects in a versioning-enabled bucket, each version of the object must be explicitly deleted by setting VersionId before calling this method. This includes any delete marker versions, which can be deleted like any other version.

Refer to Amazon's Deleting Object Versions, Working with Delete Markers, and Removing Delete Markers articles for more information.

DisableVersioning Method (S3 Control)

This method disables versioning for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

s3control.DisableVersioning 

Remarks

This method can be used to disable versioning for the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

DoEvents Method (S3 Control)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

s3control.DoEvents 

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

EnableVersioning Method (S3 Control)

This method enables versioning for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

s3control.EnableVersioning 

Remarks

This method can be used to enable versioning for the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

GetBucketLocation Method (S3 Control)

This method gets a bucket's location.

Syntax

s3control.GetBucketLocation 

Remarks

This method retrieves and returns the location (i.e., region) of the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Note: When ServiceProvider is spLinode (9), this method considers only buckets located in the currently selected Region. Refer to the Linode section of the Region property's documentation for more information.

GetLink Method (S3 Control)

This method creates a link that provides access to an object for a specified amount of time.

Syntax

s3control.GetLink ObjectName, Expires

Remarks

This method creates and returns a preauthenticated link that provides access to the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If the VersionId property is nonempty, a link is created for the specified version of the object.

The Expires parameter specifies how many seconds the link should be valid for. The maximum validity period is seven days.

Note: This method is an offline method that simply generates a presigned URL; no communication with the server takes place.

Note: This method is not supported when ServiceProvider is set to one of the following:

  • spGoogleStorage (2)
  • spOracle (8)

GetObject Method (S3 Control)

This method downloads an object.

Syntax

s3control.GetObject ObjectName

Remarks

This methods downloads the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If the VersionId property is nonempty, the specified version of the object is downloaded instead. The Range property can be used to download a specific range of bytes from the object.

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

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

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading an object looks like this: s3.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

Example 1. 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 = "../MyData.zip"; s3.LocalFile = downloadFile; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetObject() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file s3.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

Example 2. Resuming Encrypted File Downloads:

Resuming encrypted file downloads is supported only when LocalFile has been 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 are downloaded, it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile. s3.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; s3.EncryptionPassword = "password"; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetObject() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded temp file s3.StartByte = new FileInfo(s3.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

GetObjectInfo Method (S3 Control)

This method gets an object's information and metadata.

Syntax

s3control.GetObjectInfo ObjectName

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the object specified by Object in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If the VersionId property is nonempty, information and metadata for the specified version of the object is retrieved instead.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList and MetadataList events and also will repopulate the Objects and Metadata collection properties.

Interrupt Method (S3 Control)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

s3control.Interrupt 

Remarks

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

ListBuckets Method (S3 Control)

This method lists all buckets in the account.

Syntax

s3control.ListBuckets 

Remarks

This method lists all buckets in the account.

Calling this method will fire the BucketList event once for each bucket and also will populate the Buckets properties.

Note: When ServiceProvider is spLinode (9), this method returns only buckets located in the currently selected Region, and it is not possible to retrieve a list of all regions' buckets. Refer to the Linode section of the Region property's documentation for more information.

ListMultipartUploads Method (S3 Control)

This method lists the current multipart uploads.

Syntax

s3control.ListMultipartUploads 

Remarks

This method lists the current multipart uploads in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set to restrict the results to only the multipart uploads whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property also can be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each multipart upload and also will populate the Objects properties.

If more multipart uploads are still available to list when this method returns, the ObjectMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ObjectMarker is empty to accumulate all of the pages of results in the Objects properties.

Note: This method is not supported when ServiceProvider is spOortDSS (12).

Note: When the ServiceProvider is spSeagateLyveCloud (11) the ObjectPrefix property must be specified.

ListObjects Method (S3 Control)

This method lists the objects in a bucket.

Syntax

s3control.ListObjects 

Remarks

This method lists the objects in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set to restrict the results to only those objects whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property also can be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each object and also will populate the Objects properties. It also may fire the PrefixList event and populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings, depending on how the properties discussed above are set.

If more objects are still available to list when this method returns, the ObjectMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ObjectMarker is empty to accumulate all of the pages of results in the Objects properties.

Object Hierarchy Traversal

By using the ObjectDelimiter and ObjectPrefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of objects (or object versions) as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that objects with the following names exist within a bucket:

  • MyCompany/
  • MyCompany/Department1/
  • MyCompany/Department2/
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With ObjectDelimiter set to /, we can set ObjectPrefix to successively "deeper" values before calling ListObjects or ListVersions for the following effect:

ObjectPrefix Value ObjectDelimiter Value Objects Returned Prefixes Returned
(empty) /(none) MyCompany/
MyCompany/ /MyCompany/ MyCompany/Department1/

MyCompany/Department2/

MyCompany/Department2/ /MyCompany/Department2/

MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA

MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

(none)

ListParts Method (S3 Control)

This method lists the parts in a multipart upload.

Syntax

s3control.ListParts ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method lists the parts in the multipart upload of ObjectName specified by UploadId. The MaxParts configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the PartList event once for each part and also will populate the Parts properties.

If more parts are still available to list when this method returns, the PartMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until PartMarker is empty to accumulate all of the pages of results in the Parts properties.

This method does not need to be called before attempting to complete a multipart upload with CompleteMultipartUpload; the control will automatically collect the necessary information internally. Refer to CompleteMultipartUpload for more information.

Note: spCloudflareR2 (10) does not support the ListParts S3 operation.

ListVersions Method (S3 Control)

This method lists the object versions in a bucket.

Syntax

s3control.ListVersions 

Remarks

This method lists the object versions in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set to restrict the results to only the object versions whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property also can be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each object version and also will populate the Objects properties. It also may fire the PrefixList event and populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings, depending on how the properties discussed above are set.

If more object versions are still available to list when this method returns, the VersionMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until VersionMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Objects properties.

Object Hierarchy Traversal

By using the ObjectDelimiter and ObjectPrefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of objects (or object versions) as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that objects with the following names exist within a bucket:

  • MyCompany/
  • MyCompany/Department1/
  • MyCompany/Department2/
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
  • MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With ObjectDelimiter set to /, we can set ObjectPrefix to successively "deeper" values before calling ListObjects or ListVersions for the following effect:

ObjectPrefix Value ObjectDelimiter Value Objects Returned Prefixes Returned
(empty) /(none) MyCompany/
MyCompany/ /MyCompany/ MyCompany/Department1/

MyCompany/Department2/

MyCompany/Department2/ /MyCompany/Department2/

MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA

MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

(none)

Syntax

s3control.ResetHeaders 

Remarks

This method resets all HTTP headers as well as LocalFile to "" (empty string), and clears the Metadata and QueryParams collection properties.

Call this method before creating a new request, so that headers and query parameters from the previous request are not carried over to the next request.

SendCustomRequest Method (S3 Control)

This method sends a custom request to the server.

Syntax

s3control.SendCustomRequest HttpMethod, ObjectName, RequestBody

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the server.

Valid values for HttpMethod are as follows:

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

The ObjectName and RequestBody parameters may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the control does the following:

  1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, based on the following:
  2. Adds request headers from the following:
  3. Signs the request (unless the SignCustomRequest configuration setting is disabled).
  4. Sends the request, including RequestBody if nonempty.
  5. Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders properties; and the response body in the specified LocalFile, or ObjectData (using the same logic as GetObject).

If the response body is XML data, then the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can be used to navigate and extract information from it.

StartMultipartUpload Method (S3 Control)

This method starts a new manual multipart upload.

Syntax

s3control.StartMultipartUpload ObjectName

Remarks

This method starts a new manual multipart upload for an object named ObjectName, in the bucket currently selected by Bucket, and returns the upload Id that the server associates with it. For an automatic multipart upload, see the CreateObject method. This upload Id can then be used to call the following methods:

If any metadata items are present in the Metadata properties, they will be included in the creation request and will be applied to the final object after the multipart upload is completed with CompleteMultipartUpload.

Multipart uploads never expire, they must be explicitly completed or aborted using CompleteMultipartUpload or AbortMultipartUpload. The ListMultipartUploads method can be used to retrieve a list of current multipart uploads.

UpdateBucketACL Method (S3 Control)

This method updates a bucket's canned access policy.

Syntax

s3control.UpdateBucketACL 

Remarks

This method updates the canned access policy of the bucket selected by Bucket to the value specified by AccessPolicy

If the VersionId property is nonempty, the canned access policy of the specified version of the object is updated instead.

UploadPart Method (S3 Control)

This method uploads a multipart upload part.

Syntax

s3control.UploadPart ObjectName, PartNumber, UploadId

Remarks

This method uploads a part for the multipart upload of the object named ObjectName specified by UploadId.

PartNumber specifies the part's number; it must be a value in the range 1 to 10000, inclusive. If a part with the given number already exists in the specified multipart upload, it is replaced with the newly uploaded part.

The data to upload are taken from either LocalFile or ObjectData (whichever data are found first, when checked in that order). Each part must be at least 5 MB in size, except for the last part in the overall multipart upload, which can be any non-zero size.

If the IncludePartMD5 configuration setting is , the control will include an MD5 digest of its data when sending it to the server. The server then will verify that the data were received without corruption.

BucketList Event (S3 Control)

This event fires once for each bucket returned when listing buckets.

Syntax

Sub s3control_BucketList(BucketName As String, CreationDate As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each bucket returned when ListBuckets is called.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket.

CreationDate reflects the bucket's creation date.

EndTransfer Event (S3 Control)

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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.

FragmentComplete Event (S3 Control)

This event fires after each part in an automatic multipart upload is complete.

Syntax

Sub s3control_FragmentComplete(FragmentNumber As Integer, FragmentCount As Integer, Interrupt As Boolean)

Remarks

If, when CreateObject is called, more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of upload data are present, the control will automatically divide the upload data into parts and perform a multipart upload. During the overall upload process, this event will fire after each part is uploaded, providing an indication of overall upload progress.

FragmentNumber is the number of the current part of the upload that has been completed. This value starts at 1.

FragmentCount is the total number of parts that will be uploaded.

Interrupt can be set to to interrupt the upload. The upload may be resumed later.

Refer to CreateObject for more information.

Header Event (S3 Control)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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.

Remarks

This event fires once for each metadata item returned when GetObjectInfo is called.

Name is the name of the metadata item, without the service-specific prefix (e.g., x-amz-meta-, x-goog-meta-).

Note: The server stores metadata names in lowercase.

Value is the metadata item's value.

ObjectList Event (S3 Control)

This event fires once for each object, object version, or multipart upload returned when listing such items.

Syntax

Sub s3control_ObjectList(BucketName As String, ObjectName As String, LastModified As String, Size As Long64, ETag As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String, UploadId As String, VersionId As String, LatestVersion As Boolean, Deleted As Boolean)

Remarks

This event fires once for each object, object version, or multipart upload returned when GetObjectInfo, ListObjects, ListVersions, or ListMultipartUploads is called.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket that the object is in.

ObjectName reflects the name of the object.

LastModified reflects the last modified time of the object. This is not applicable when ListMultipartUploads is called.

Size reflects the size, in bytes, of the object. This is not applicable when ListMultipartUploads is called.

ETag reflects the object's ETag. This is not applicable when ListMultipartUploads is called.

OwnerId and OwnerName reflect the Id and display name of the object's owner, respectively. This is not applicable when GetObjectInfo is called.

UploadId reflects the Id of the multipart upload. This is applicable only when ListMultipartUploads is called.

VersionId reflects the Id of the object version (note that the string null is a valid version Id). This is applicable only when ListVersions is called, or when GetObjectInfo is called while VersionId is nonempty.; is empty in all other cases.

LatestVersion indicates whether this is the latest object version. This is applicable only when ListVersions is called.; is in all other cases.

Deleted indicates whether this object version is a delete marker (refer to DeleteObject for more information). This is applicable only when ListVersions is called, or when GetObjectInfo is called while VersionId is nonempty.; is in all other cases.

PartList Event (S3 Control)

This event fires once for every part returned when listing a multipart upload's parts.

Syntax

Sub s3control_PartList(PartNumber As Integer, ObjectName As String, LastModified As String, Size As Long64, ETag As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String)

Remarks

Sub s3control_PrefixList(BucketName As String, Prefix As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each common prefix returned when ListObjects or ListVersions is called when ObjectDelimiter is nonempty. Refer to ObjectDelimiter for more information.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket that the prefix is in.

Prefix is the common prefix.

Progress Event (S3 Control)

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by 1 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 the note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown.

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 were transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10 MB of data were successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10 MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then will 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.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (S3 Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 Control)

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

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub s3control_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 (S3 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.

S3 Config Settings

AccumulatePages:   Whether the control should accumulate subsequent pages of results when listing them.

This configuration setting controls how the control behaves when listing multiple pages of results. If this setting is enabled, each successive page of results will be appended to the appropriate collection properties until the last page of results has been listed (at which point the next list call will cause said collection to be cleared first). If this setting is disabled, the collection will be cleared every time a page of results is returned.

By default, this setting is enabled, allowing all pages of results to be accumulated in the appropriate collection properties.

ADFSAuthScheme:   The authentication scheme to use with the ADFS STS endpoint.

This property will tell the control which type of authorization to perform when making the GET request to the ADFSSTSEndpoint.

By default, this property is set to 5 (Negotiate), which will use Windows Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication when making the GET request. This configuration setting also can be set to 4 (NTLM), which will use NTLM authentication to attempt authentication with the ADFSSTSEndpoint. If the ADFSUser and ADFSPassword configuration settings are empty, it will use the current user's credentials.

ADFSPassword:   The password to use if the auth scheme is set to NTLM.

This is the password to use if the ADFSAuthScheme configuration setting is set to 4 (NTLM).

ADFSRelyingParty:   The endpoint to request the SAML Response from.

This configuration setting should be set to the Relying Party identity that has been set up in Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) for SAML authentication with AWS. This will be used only when the control is making the GET request to the ADFSSTSEndpoint configuration setting when trying to assume a role with SAML. This must be set alongside the AssumeRoleARN and ADFSSTSEndpoint configuration settings.

ADFSSTSEndpoint:   The endpoint to request the SAML Response from.

This endpoint should point to the ADFS endpoint to make the SAML request. Typically, this endpoint will look something like https://{DOMAIN}/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignOn.aspx. When set, the control will try to make a GET request to this endpoint to get a SAML response. It will then use the SAML response to assume the role defined in the AssumeRoleARN configuration setting using the acquired SAML response. This must be set alongside the AssumeRoleARN and ADFSRelyingParty configuration settings.

ADFSUser:   The username to use if the auth scheme is set to NTLM.

This is the username to use if the ADFSAuthScheme configuration setting is set to 4 (NTLM).

AssumeRoleARN:   Amazon Resource Name used when assuming a role for authentication.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that will be assumed by the control. This must be set alongside AssumeRoleSessionName.

AssumeRoleDuration:   The duration for role session in seconds.

The duration of the role session in seconds. The minimum is 900 seconds (15 minutes) and the maximum is 43200 (12 hours). As a note, the maximum value may be lower based on restrictions placed by the role administrator. If the duration is outside of the range, the request will fail. This setting is optional, but AssumeRoleARN and AssumeRoleSessionName are required for assuming a role.

AssumeRolePrincipalARN:   The Amazon Resource Name of the SAML provider.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the SAML provider in IAM that describes the IdP. This is used when AssumeRole with SAML rather than using an AccessKey and SecretKey.

AssumeRoleSessionName:   Unique name for current role session.

The unique session name to identify a session within a role. Must be set alongside AssumeRoleARN.

AutoDetectSigningRegion:   Whether or not to automatically detect the region from the base URL in order to use it for the HMAC signing process.

When set to (default), the control will automatically try to extract the region from the base URL. When set to , the region provided in the Region property will be used in the signed header for the hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) signature.

AWSProfile:   The name of the AWS CLI profile that the control should use to obtain authentication and region information.

This configuration setting, if nonempty, must contain the name of the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) profile whose authentication and, optionally, regional information the control should use to communicate with the server. To use the default profile, set this configuration setting to default. Refer to the following pages of the AWS CLI documentation for more information about AWS profiles, and the credentials and config files used to store them:

The control supports key-based credential profiles, that is, those that 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 previously, the control also supports the region element, if it is present in the specified profile.

The control 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 control 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.

AWSProfileDir:   The location of the AWS CLI credentials and config files.

This configuration setting specifies the directory that the control should check when attempting to locate the AWS CLI credentials and config files. This setting is used only if the AWSProfile setting is nonempty.

By default, this setting is empty, which will cause the control to check the default location used by the AWS CLI: an .aws directory in the current user's home directory, that is, %UserProfile%\.aws (Windows) or ~/.aws (Linux/macOS).

CloudflareAccountID:   The Cloudflare R2 account ID to use.

When the ServiceProvider property is set to spCloudflareR2 (10), this configuration setting must be set before any requests can be made. This configuration setting is not applicable when ServiceProvider is set to any other value.

Refer to the find zone and account IDs page of the Cloudflare R2 documentation for instructions on how to find your account Id.

ContentRange:   This contains the range of bytes of the current object that are being returned.

When implementing chunked and resumable object downloads by setting the Range property, this configuration setting will contain the returned range of bytes and the total count of bytes for the specified object. This configuration setting will be populated after a call to GetObject

CopyPartRange:   Specifies the range of bytes to copy when calling CopyPart.

This configuration setting optionally specifies the range of bytes to copy from the source object when calling CopyPart. By default, the entire object is copied as the new part. When set, this configuration setting dictates the zero-based range of bytes to copy in the format [first]-[last], as follows: 2048-4096.

Note: This setting is ignored when ServiceProvider is spGoogleStorage (2).

DownloadTempFile:   The temporary file used when downloading encrypted data.

This configuration 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 are 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 GetObject for details.

EncodeSlashInObjectName:   Whether or not to encode slashes in an object name.

When set to (default), the control will URL encode any slashes in an object name when signing a request. This is what Amazon's S3 service expects. Other S3 clones may vary slightly from this rule, requiring that slashes are not encoded. Set this to , to accommodate this rule.

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 as follows:

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

EnforceBucketNameRestrictions:   Whether or not to enforce bucket naming conventions.

When set to (default), the control will not enforce the bucket-naming restrictions. US-based buckets are not subject to the same name restrictions as other locations. When set to , the control will enforce the following restrictions:

  • Bucket names can contain lowercase letters, numbers, periods, underscores, and dashes.
  • Bucket names must start with a number or letter.
  • Bucket names must be between 3 and 63 characters long.
  • Bucket names should not end with a dash.
  • Bucket names cannot contain two adjacent periods.
  • Bucket names cannot contain dashes next to periods.
  • Bucket names must not be formatted as an IP address (e.g., 192.168.5.4).
ETag:   The ETag for the object returned by the server.

This configuration setting contains the ETag for the object returned after GetObject, CreateObject, or CompleteMultipartUpload is called.

The ETag is used to determine if the object has changed since the last operation on the file. Set the IfMatch configuration setting to the ETag to ensure that a new version of the object does not already exist on the server.

ForceDeleteNonEmptyBuckets:   Forces buckets to be deleted even if they aren't empty.

When DeleteBucket is called, if this is set to (default), the bucket will be deleted whether or not it is empty.

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when ServiceProvider is spWasabi (3); other providers do not support deleting nonempty buckets.

FragmentSize:   The part size to use when uploading a new object.

If, when CreateObject is called, more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of upload data are present, the control will automatically split up the upload data into parts and perform a multipart upload. This setting specifies the part size to use.

Valid values are 5242880 (5MB) to 2147483647 (2GB). The default is 26214400 (25 MB).

Note: Applications may need to increase this setting's value to upload very large objects; Amazon only allows 10,000 parts to be uploaded for any given multipart upload.

If the amount of upload data provided when creating an object is less than SimpleUploadLimit bytes, it will be uploaded directly, and thus this setting will not apply.

GoogleProjectId:   The Google project Id to send when using OAuth 2.0 to authenticate to Google Storage.

When the ServiceProvider property is set to spGoogleStorage (2), and the OAuthAuthorization configuration setting is populated, this setting also must be set to use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate to Google Storage.

IfMatch:   Check to make sure the object has not been modified since the last request.

When implementing chunked and resumable object downloads, the IfMatch configuration setting is used to determine if the object has changed since the last chunk was downloaded. Set the IfMatch configuration setting to the ETag of the previous request to tell the control to ensure that the object has not changed before a call to GetObject.

IncludeContentMD5:   Whether an MD5 digest of a custom request's data should be included.

If set to , the control will include an MD5 digest of the RequestBody passed to SendCustomRequest when the request is submitted.

The default value is .

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only if the SignCustomRequest setting is ; otherwise, it is ignored.

IncludeObjectMD5:   Whether an MD5 digest of a object's data should be included.

If set to , the control will include an MD5 digest of an object's data when it is created using CreateObject. (If the control performs an automatic multipart upload, MD5 digests of the individual parts' data will be sent instead, even if IncludePartMD5 is .)

The default value is .

IncludePartMD5:   Whether an MD5 digest of a part's data should be included.

If set to , the control will include an MD5 digest of a part's data when it is uploaded using UploadPart.

The default value is .

LastPartInfo:   The part number and part ETag of the last CopyPart or UploadPart request.

This setting contains the part number and part ETag corresponding to the last CopyPart or UploadPart request made while performing a multipart upload. The part number is specified by each method's partNumber parameter while the part ETag is parsed from the response. The part's number and ETag are separated by the ; character (e.g., part_number;part_etag).

This configuration setting can be used to retrieve part information that can then be stored in PartInfo[i]. Doing so makes the CompleteMultipartUpload method assemble these specific parts instead of calling ListParts internally. If the ServiceProvider property is set to spCloudflareR2 (10), this setting will automatically be updated after calling CopyPart or UploadPart. This configuration setting is read-only.

Note: This configuration setting typically is used only when working with multiple control instances in which the desired provider does not support the ListParts S3 operation, such as Cloudflare R2.

MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive data is masked in the Log event.

This configuration setting controls whether sensitive information is masked when the Log event fires. For instance, the authorization header in the request contains the access key Id. The default value is .

MaxObjects:   The maximum number of results to return when listing objects.

This configuration setting specifies the maximum number of results that should be returned by a call to ListObjects or ListMultipartUploads.

If this setting is -1 (default), the server's default is used. Acceptable values vary by provider.

MaxParts:   The maximum number of results to return when listing parts.

This configuration setting specifies the maximum number of results that should be returned by a call to ListParts.

If this configuration setting is -1 (default), the server's default is used. Acceptable values vary by provider.

OAuthAuthorization:   The OAuth 2.0 authorization token to use to authenticate to Google Storage.

When the ServiceProvider property is set to spGoogleStorage (2), this setting (along with the GoogleProjectId configuration setting) can be set to use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate to Google Storage instead of an AccessKey and SecretKey.

OracleNamespace:   The Oracle Cloud Object Storage namespace to use.

When the ServiceProvider property is set to spOracle (8), this configuration setting must be set to the Oracle Cloud Object Storage namespace associated with the Oracle Cloud account before any requests can be made. This configuration setting is not applicable when ServiceProvider is set to any other value.

Refer to the Understanding Object Storage Namespaces page of the Oracle Cloud documentation for instructions on how to find your account's Object Storage namespace.

OverwriteRemote:   Whether to allow overwrites of existing remote data.

When the ServiceProvider property is set to spAmazonS3 (0), this configuration setting controls whether the existence of an object is checked before it is created by either calling the CreateObject or CompleteMultipartUpload methods. When disabled, the If-None-Match conditional HTTP header is added to the request, and an object will only be created if it does not already exist.

By default, this setting is enabled, and overwrites are allowed.

PartInfo[i]:   The i'th part number and part ETag corresponding to a part of a multipart upload.

When populated, this configuration setting is used by the CompleteMultipartUpload method to assemble these specific parts for a multipart upload instead of calling ListParts internally. The part number and ETag of the most recent multipart upload can be retrieved with the LastPartInfo setting. Each pairing's part number and ETag are separated by the ; character (e.g., part_number;part_etag). If the ServiceProvider property is set to spCloudflareR2 (10), this collection automatically will be updated to include the LastPartInfo after calling CopyPart or UploadPart.

Valid values for i are from 0 to (PartInfoCount -1).

Note: This configuration setting typically is used only when working with multiple control instances in which the desired provider does not support the ListParts S3 operation, such as Cloudflare R2.

string uploadID = s3.StartMultipartUpload("objectName"); s3.UploadPart("objectName", 1, uploadID); string part1 = s3.Config("LastPartInfo"); s3.UploadPart("objectName", 2, uploadID); string part2 = s3.Config("LastPartInfo"); s3.Config("PartInfoCount=2"); s3.Config("PartInfo[0]=" + part1); s3.Config("PartInfo[1]=" + part2); s3.CompleteMultipartUpload("objectName", uploadID);

PartInfoCount:   The number of items in the PartInfo collection.

This configuration setting reflects the number of parts in the PartInfo[i] collection. See PartInfo[i] for more information. If the ServiceProvider property is set to spCloudflareR2 (10), this setting will automatically be updated after calling CopyPart or UploadPart.

Note: This configuration setting typically is used only when working with multiple control instances in which the desired provider does not support the ListParts S3 operation, such as Cloudflare R2.

Prefix[i]:   The i'th common prefix returned.

When StorePrefixList is enabled, this configuration setting can be used to retrieve the common prefixes returned by the most recent ListObjects request. Refer to that method, as well as the ObjectDelimiter property, for more information.

Valid values for i are from 0 to (PrefixCount -1).

PrefixCount:   The number of common prefixes returned.

When StorePrefixList is enabled, this configuration setting reflects the number of common prefixes returned by the most recent ListObjects request.

This configuration setting is always -1 when StorePrefixList is disabled.

ProgressAbsolute:   Whether the control should track transfer progress absolutely.

This configuration 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 configuration 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 were successfully transferred before the interruption.

If this configuration 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 configuration 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 1 percent. Setting this setting to 0 will cause the Progress event to fire every time data are transferred.

Note: 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 configuration setting may be queried after calling any method that sends data to the server to obtain the request data that were transmitted. Such data may be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

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

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

ResponseCacheControl:   Sets the Cache-Control header of the response.

If specified, this configuration setting determines the Cache-Control header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResponseContentDisposition:   Sets the Content-Disposition header of the response.

If specified, this determines the Content-Disposition header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResponseContentEncoding:   Sets the Content-Encoding header of the response.

If specified, this configuration setting determines the Content-Encoding header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResponseContentLanguage:   Sets the Content-Language header of the response.

If specified, this configuration setting determines the Content-Language header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResponseContentType:   Sets the Content-Type header of the response.

If specified, this configuration setting determines the Content-Type header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResponseExpires:   Sets the Expires header of the response.

If specified, this configuration setting determines the Expires header returned by the server.

Note: This is applicable only when calling GetLink.

ResumableUploadState:   Tracks upload state information during an automatic multipart upload.

If, when CreateObject is called, more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of upload data are present, then the control will automatically split up the upload data into parts and perform a multipart upload. This configuration setting keeps track of upload state information needed to resume the upload if it is interrupted.

Refer to CreateObject for more information.

Note: This setting is automatically cleared any time ServiceProvider changes.

SendObjectACLs:   Whether to include object-level ACL headers when making requests.

This configuration setting controls whether object-level access control list (ACL) headers are included when making applicable requests (e.g., CreateObject). When the ServiceProvider property is set to spGoogleStorage (2), it may be necessary to disable this configuration setting if uniform bucket-level access is being used.

By default, this setting is enabled, and object-level ACL headers are included.

ServiceProviderURL:   The base URL to use when communicating with a service provider.

This configuration setting can be used to override the URL that will be used when communicating with a service provider. When the ServiceProvider property is set to spCustom (255), this configuration setting must be set to the custom service provider's base URL before any requests can be made.

When the control uses the specified base URL to generate a request URL, it performs the following transformations (if necessary):

  • If the base URL includes an http[s]:// prefix, it is ignored; the UseSSL property controls whether the control makes secure or plaintext connections.
  • If the base URL contains a %region% token, it is replaced with the Region property's current value.

For example, if this setting is set to http://s3.%region%.myservice.com, UseSSL is , and Region is region-1, then the control will generate request URLs like https://s3.region-1.myservice.com/bucket/... (or like https://bucket.s3.region-1.myservice.com/..., if the UseVirtualHosting property is ).

SessionToken:   The session token to send in the request when using temporary credentials.

When using temporary credentials, AWS requires that you to send the session token provided with the temporary access and secret key in every request.

SignCustomRequest:   Tells the control to sign the outgoing request.

By default, this configuration setting is , and when SendCustomRequest is called, then the control will sign the specified request to authenticate with the service. If set to , the request will be sent as is, without signing.

SigningTime:   A custom date to send to the control to use while signing all requests.

The SigningTime configuration setting can be used to send a custom value for the signature date that are used while signing all requests. This is often used if a machine has not been patched or is sending incorrect date values while attempting to connect.

This value must be provided as a traditional Unix timestamp. A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (00:00:00 January 1, 1970 UTC). An example value for the timestamp would be 1236626334.

SimpleUploadLimit:   The maximum data size the control should attempt to upload directly when creating an object.

When CreateObject is called, the control will automatically split up the upload data into parts and perform a multipart upload if its size is greater than the amount specified by this setting. If the upload data size is less than or equal to the amount specified by this setting, it will be uploaded directly in the object creation request.

Valid values are -1 to 5368709120 (5 GB), inclusive. The default is 104857600 (100 MB). If this configuration setting is set to 0, the control will always perform a multipart upload when creating an object; if it is set to -1, the control will never perform a multipart upload.

StorageClass:   Specifies the storage class to be used for the uploaded object.

This configuration setting specifies the storage class to use for newly created objects; it is used when constructing CreateObject, StartMultipartUpload, and CopyObject requests.

By default, this setting is empty, causing new objects to be created with a provider's default storage class (usually STANDARD, but refer to the provider's documentation for more information). This setting is cleared any time ServiceProvider changes.

Note: The IBM Cloud Object Storage provider assigns storage classes to buckets rather than to individual objects. When ServiceProvider is spIBM (7), this setting can be set to a valid IBM storage class string before calling CreateBucket to create a bucket with the specified storage class. Buckets are created with the standard storage class by default.

StoreObjectData:   Whether control stores object data or not.

This configuration setting can be used to instruct the control whether or not to create a local copy of the data to upload when setting the ObjectData property. When set to , the control will store the data address and length only. This cuts down on the memory usage of the control when uploading files.

The default value for this setting is .

StorePrefixList:   Whether to store the common prefixes returned when listing objects.

If this configuration setting is enabled, the control will populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] settings any time ListObjects is called.

By default, this setting is disabled.

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

This configuration 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 GetObject for more information.

UseEC2RoleCredentials:   Whether to authenticate requests with credentials obtained from the IAM role attached to the EC2 instance.

When the control is running within an Amazon EC2 instance, this setting can be set to authenticate requests using the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role attached to the instance using temporary credentials obtained from the instance metadata service. The IMDSv1 protocol is used by default. Please see the IMDSVersion configuration setting for more information.

For the control 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 . When set to , the control will do the following before each request:

  1. Make a request against the EC2 instance to get the name of the role attached to it.
  2. Make a request against the metadata service to obtain temporary security credentials for the IAM role returned in the previous call.
  3. Parse the response, automatically populating the AccessKey and SecretKey properties and the SessionToken configuration setting.
  4. 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.

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.

Base Config Settings
