Dropbox Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The Dropbox component makes it easy to upload, download, and manage files and folders within Dropbox.
Syntax
TcsDropbox
Remarks
The Dropbox component provides a simple interface to working with Dropbox. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, moving and copying resources, and more.
Authentication
This component requires authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth property to set the appropriate fields for the chosen OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType.
The component has the following defaults:
Authorization Server URL | "https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize" |
Token Server URL | "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token" |
Below is a brief description of the different OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType values that are supported by this component. For a more in-depth description of what needs to be set, refer to the service documentation.
Application Profile
This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the component. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.
To start the authentication and authorization process, the Authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the OAuthAccessToken property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the OAuthRefreshToken property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The component will also cache these tokens along with when the OAuthAccessToken will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the Authorize method is called the component will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new OAuthAccessToken. If the Authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the component will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the OAuthGrantType property. To force the component to only check the access token when the Authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.
A brief description of the supported values for the OAuthGrantType property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.
Authorization Code
When using the Authorization Code grant type, the component will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the component expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the component will parse the authorization code, setting the OAuthAuthorizationCode property, from the redirect. Immediately, the component will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the OAuthRefreshToken property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the component will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.
Example:
Dropbox dropbox = new Dropbox();
dropbox.OAuth.ClientProfile = CloudOAuthClientProfiles.cocpApplication;
dropbox.OAuth.GrantType = OAuthSettingsGrantTypes.cogtAuthorizationCode;
dropbox.OAuth.ClientId = CLIENT_ID;
dropbox.OAuth.ClientSecret = CLIENT_SECRET;
dropbox.Config("OAuthWebServerPort=PORT"); // http://localhost:PORT needs to be a registered redirect URL for the app
dropbox.Authorize();
Implicit
Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.
When using the Implicit grant type, the component will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the component expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerAuthURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the component will parse the access token from the redirect.
A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the component will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.
Web Profile
This profile is similar to setting the component to the Application profile and Authorization Code grant type except the component will not launch the browser. It is typically used in situations where there is a back-end that is supporting some front end. This profile expects that OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, OAuthServerTokenURL, and the OAuthReturnURL properties to be set. Before calling the Authorize method, the OAuthWebAuthURL property should be queried to get a URL. This URL should be used to redirect the user to the authorization page for the service provider. The redirect_uri parameter of this URL is mapped to the OAuthReturnURL property. The OAuthReturnURL property should be set to some web server that will parse the authorization code out of the query parameter from the redirect. Once the authorization code is parsed, it should be passed back to the server where it is then set to the OAuthAuthorizationCode property. Once that is set, the Authorize method can be called to exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token if provided. The component will then cache these values like normal and use them to make requests. If the OAuthRefreshToken field is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the Authorize method can immediately be called to make a request to the token server to get a new access token.
External OAuth Support
For complex profiles or grant types, or for more control of the flow, it is possible to perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth component or a separate process. Once complete you should have an authorization string which looks like:Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE
Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the Authorization property will cause the component to ignore the values set in the OAuth property.
For Example:
Oauth oauth = new Oauth();
oauth.GrantType = OauthGrantTypes.ogtAuthorizationCode;
oauth.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID";
oauth.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET";
oauth.ServerAuthURL = "https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize";
oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token";
oauth.WebServerPort = PORT; // http://localhost:PORT needs to be a registered redirect URL for the app
dropbox.Authorization = oauth.GetAuthorization();
Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.
Addressing Resources
Dropbox typically allows resources to be addressed in multiple ways:
- Using a path (e.g., /path/to/resource.txt).
- Using a resource Id (e.g, id:xxxxx).
- Using an Id-based relative path (e.g., id:xxxxx/relative/path/test.txt, where the Id is that of a folder resource).
- For certain methods, using a revision Id (e.g., rev:xxxxx).
Listing Resources
ListResources lists resources within the specified folder. Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources properties.
If there are still more resources available to list when this method returns, the ResourceMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ResourceMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Resources properties.
// ResourceList event handler.
dropbox.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};
do {
dropbox.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Process resources here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dropbox.ResourceMarker));
Downloading Files
The DownloadFile method downloads file resources.
If LocalFile is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by ResourceData.
To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.
Download Notes
In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this:
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
Resuming Downloads
The component also supports resuming failed downloads by using the StartByte property. If a download is interrupted, set StartByte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download.
string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.LocalFile = downloadFile;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
dropbox.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
Resuming Encrypted File Downloads
Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.
If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the component creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.
To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with StartByte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.EncryptionPassword = "password";
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially download temp file
dropbox.StartByte = new FileInfo(dropbox.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
Uploading Files
The UploadFile method uploads new file resources.
If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ResourceData will be used.
To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.
Upload Notes
Dropbox offers two ways to upload a file. For smaller files a simple upload option is provided to upload data in one request. This is the default option. For larger files, uploads can be fragmented into multiple pieces, allowing resuming of uploads that may be interrupted.
Simple
By default the component uses the simple upload mechanism.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");
Resumable
To enable resumable uploads set UseResumableUpload to true. This is recommended for large files. The component will automatically fragment the specified file into smaller pieces and upload each individually. FragmentSize may be set to specify the size of the fragment if desired. The default fragment size is 10 MB.
When UseResumableUpload is set to true and UploadFile is called, a resumable upload session is started by the component. UploadSessionId is populated with a resumable upload session Id identifying the session (this value may be needed for additional operations if the upload does not complete normally).
During a resumable upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The component also updates StartByte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.
If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that UploadSessionId and StartByte are populated (if the same instance of the component is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.
Note that if the upload is not resumed after some time the upload session will expire.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte and ResumeURL are already populated from the previous
//upload attempt.
dropbox.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

__property String SSLServerCertSubject = { read=FSSLServerCertSubject };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.
If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.
If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
String
SSLServerCertEncoded Property (Dropbox Component)
This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).
Syntax
__property String SSLServerCertEncoded = { read=FSSLServerCertEncoded }; __property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLServerCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLServerCertEncodedB };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This is 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.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Byte Array
StartByte Property (Dropbox Component)
The byte offset from which to start the upload or download.
Syntax
__property __int64 StartByte = { read=FStartByte, write=FSetStartByte };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property may be set to resume an upload or download; it specifies the offset in the file from which to resume. See UploadFile and DownloadFile for details about resuming uploads and downloads.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Long64
Timeout Property (Dropbox Component)
This property includes the timeout for the component.
Syntax
__property int Timeout = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout };
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 component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The component 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 component raises an exception.
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
UploadSessionId Property (Dropbox Component)
The Id of the resumable upload session.
Syntax
__property String UploadSessionId = { read=FUploadSessionId, write=FSetUploadSessionId };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the Id of the resumable upload session. This is populated by the component when UseResumableUpload is set to true and UploadFile is called to initiate the upload.
This must be set when resuming an upload. See UploadFile for details.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
String
UseResumableUpload Property (Dropbox Component)
Whether to use resumable uploads.
Syntax
__property bool UseResumableUpload = { read=FUseResumableUpload, write=FSetUseResumableUpload };
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property controls whether simple or resumable uploads are used when UploadFile is called. The default value is false (simple uploads are used).
Refer to UploadFile for more information.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
AddQueryParam Method (Dropbox Component)
Adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.
Syntax
void __fastcall AddQueryParam(String Name, String 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 component automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.
Authorize Method (Dropbox Component)
Get the authorization string required to access the protected resource.
Syntax
void __fastcall Authorize();
Remarks
This method is used to get an access token that is required to access the protected resource. The method will act differently based on what is set in the OAuthClientProfile property and the OAuthGrantType property. This method is not to be used in conjunction with the Authorization property. It should instead be used when setting the OAuth property.
For more information, see the introduction section.
CalcAuthorization Method (Dropbox Component)
Calculates the Authorization header based on provided credentials.
Syntax
void __fastcall CalcAuthorization();
Remarks
This method calculates the Authorization value using the values provided in AuthScheme, User and Password.
In most cases this method does not need to be called. The component will automatically calculate any required authorization values when a method is called such as Get or Post.
This method may be useful in cases where the Authorization value needs to be calculated prior to sending a request.
Config Method (Dropbox Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.
CopyResource Method (Dropbox Component)
Copies a resource.
Syntax
String __fastcall CopyResource(String FromResource, String ToResourcePath);
Remarks
This method copies the resource FromResource to a new path ToResourcePath, and returns the Id of the newly-copied resource.
FromResource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id. ToResourcePath must be a path or an Id-based relative path (it must always end with the desired name of the file/folder resource being copied).
The AllowCopySharedFolders configuration setting must be enabled before calling this method in order to copy shared resources.
The RenameIfExists configuration setting may be enabled before calling this method to have the server automatically resolve naming conflicts.
CreateFolder Method (Dropbox Component)
Creates a new folder resource.
Syntax
String __fastcall CreateFolder(String NewFolderPath);
Remarks
This method creates a new folder resource at the path NewFolderPath, and returns the Id of the newly-created folder resource.
NewFolderPath must be a folder path, or an Id-based relative folder path.
The RenameIfExists configuration setting may be enabled before calling this method to have the server automatically resolve naming conflicts.
CreateLink Method (Dropbox Component)
Creates a shared link for a resource.
Syntax
String __fastcall CreateLink(String Resource);
Remarks
This method creates a shared link for the resource specified by Resource and returns it.
Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id.
The CreateLinkExpiration, CreateLinkVisibility, and CreateLinkPassword configuration settings can be used to customize the settings used to create the shared link.
// Create a password-protected shared link for the given file.
dropbox.Config("CreateLinkPassword=password");
string sharingUrl = dropbox.CreateLink("/work_stuff/serious_business/best_cat_pictures.zip");
DeleteResource Method (Dropbox Component)
Deletes a resource.
Syntax
void __fastcall DeleteResource(String Resource);
Remarks
This method deletes the resource specified by Resource.
Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id.
When deleting file resources, the IfRevision configuration setting can be set to a revision Id before calling this method. This will ensure that the server only deletes the file resource if its latest revision Id matches the one provided.
For Dropbox Business accounts, the PermanentlyDelete configuration setting can be enabled to delete resources permanently.
DownloadFile Method (Dropbox Component)
Downloads a file resource.
Syntax
void __fastcall DownloadFile(String Resource);
Remarks
This method downloads the file resource specified by Resource. If the AllowFolderDownloads configuration setting is enabled, it can also be used to download a folder resource as a ZIP file.
Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, a resource Id, or (for file resources only) a revision Id.
For file resources, the DownloadType property can be used to control whether this method downloads the file contents (default), a file preview, or a file thumbnail. The latter two options are only available for certain file types; refer to DownloadType for more information.
Note that certain file resources are "export-only"; when downloading such a file resource to a LocalFile, the component will append the file extension of export file format (if the name of the given LocalFile does not already end with said extension). Refer to the ResourceExportExtension property for more information.
If LocalFile is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by ResourceData.
To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.
Download Notes
In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this:
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
Resuming Downloads
The component also supports resuming failed downloads by using the StartByte property. If a download is interrupted, set StartByte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download.
string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.LocalFile = downloadFile;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
dropbox.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
Resuming Encrypted File Downloads
Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.
If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the component creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.
To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with StartByte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.EncryptionPassword = "password";
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially download temp file
dropbox.StartByte = new FileInfo(dropbox.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
dropbox.DownloadFile(dropbox.Resources[0].Id);
GetAccountInfo Method (Dropbox Component)
Gets information about the current user's account and space usage.
Syntax
void __fastcall GetAccountInfo();
Remarks
This method gets information about the current user's account and space usage, populating the Account object property's properties. This method will also populate the following configuration settings, if necessary:
GetCurrentChangeMarker Method (Dropbox Component)
Gets the most current change marker.
Syntax
void __fastcall GetCurrentChangeMarker(String FolderResource);
Remarks
This method populates NextChangeMarker with the most current change marker available. Like ListChanges, it may be limited to only changes within a certain FolderResource; and is sensitive to the IncludeDeleted, IncludeMounted, MaxResults, and RecurseSubfolders configuration settings.
FolderResource must be a folder path, an Id-based relative folder path, a folder resource Id, or empty string (the root folder).
Refer to ListChanges for more information.
GetResourceInfo Method (Dropbox Component)
Gets information about a specific resource.
Syntax
void __fastcall GetResourceInfo(String Resource);
Remarks
This method gets information about the resource specified by Resource.
Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, a resource Id, or (for file resources) a revision Id. Empty string (the root folder) is not supported.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event, and will populate the Resources properties with a single item (clearing any previously-held items in the process).
Interrupt Method (Dropbox Component)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
void __fastcall Interrupt();
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ListChanges Method (Dropbox Component)
Lists changes to resources.
Syntax
void __fastcall ListChanges(String FolderResource);
Remarks
This method lists changes to resources within the specified FolderResource.
FolderResource must be a folder path, an Id-based relative folder path, a folder resource Id, or empty string (the root folder). The IncludeDeleted, IncludeMounted, MaxResults, and RecurseSubfolders configuration settings may be used to further control the scope of the results.
Note that the values of FolderResource and the aforementioned configuration settings are all ignored if either ChangeMarker or NextChangeMarker is populated (the markers encode the values used originally).
Starting from a Baseline State
For most use-cases, it is necessary to obtain a baseline state first in order to have a context onto which later changes can be applied.
To obtain a baseline state, ensure that both ChangeMarker and NextChangeMarker are empty, and then call ListChanges. Then follow the process described in the "General Usage" section (below) until ChangeMarker is empty, keeping in mind that the results being returned are not necessarily* changes, but rather the current state of resources within the scope determined by FolderResource, IncludeDeleted, IncludeMounted, and RecurseSubfolders.
*If any resources in the aforementioned scope are changed before all result pages of the baseline have been returned, Dropbox may append those change items to the end of the baseline's results. Refer to the "Usage Considerations" section (below) for more information.
Starting from the Latest State
For use-cases that don't require a baseline state (e.g., perhaps an application just displays a "ticker" with change information), call GetCurrentChangeMarker. This will populate NextChangeMarker immediately.
General Usage
When this method is called, it will use the change marker stored in either ChangeMarker or NextChangeMarker (only one can be populated at a time) to request the next page of changes. This method causes the ResourceList event to fire once for each change, and will also populate the Resources properties.
If there are still more changes available to list when this method returns, the ChangeMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ChangeMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Resources properties. (Once there aren't any more changes available to list, the NextChangeMarker property will be populated instead.)
When NextChangeMarker is populated, it is always populated with a value that (at the time of population) points to the most current state. (Since "the most current state" implies that there are no further changes to list, calling ListChanges immediately after NextChangeMarker is populated will not return any further changes.)
Example of Getting a Baseline and then Listing Changes
// Get the baseline state first.
Dropbox dropbox = new Dropbox();
dropbox.ListChanges("");
do {
// Continue to call ListChanges() until ChangeMarker is the empty string (indicating there
// are no more changes to list).
dropbox.ListChanges("");
} while (dropbox.ChangeMarker.Length > 0);
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Apply the baseline state.
}
// Now NextChangeMarker will be populated. If we were to call ListChanges() again right now,
// nothing would be listed and NextChangeMarker would still be populated.
// Wait at least 2 minutes for changes to occur. Assume something changes while we wait.
dropbox.WaitForChanges(120); // (Note that this is a blocking call.)
dropbox.ListChanges("");
do {
dropbox.ListChanges("");
} while (dropbox.ChangeMarker.Length > 0);
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Apply the changes.
}
Usage Considerations
When working with Dropbox changes, keep in mind that it is possible for a resource, uniquely identified by its Id, to appear more than once in a change set. (This can happen if changes are being listed, and then a change occurs before all result pages in the change set are returned; Dropbox will then typically append the new change to the end of the current change set.) Since a Dropbox change always reflects the latest state of a resource, just use the latest one.ListResources Method (Dropbox Component)
Lists resources.
Syntax
void __fastcall ListResources(String FolderResource);
Remarks
This method lists resources within the specified FolderResource.
FolderResource must be a folder path, an Id-based relative folder path, a folder resource Id, or empty string (the root folder). The IncludeDeleted, IncludeMounted, MaxResults, and RecurseSubfolders configuration settings may be used to further control the scope of the results.
Note that the values of FolderResource and the aforementioned configuration settings are all ignored if ResourceMarker is populated (the marker encodes the values used originally).
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources properties.
If there are still more resources available to list when this method returns, the ResourceMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ResourceMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Resources properties.
// ResourceList event handler.
dropbox.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};
do {
dropbox.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Process resources here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dropbox.ResourceMarker));
ListRevisions Method (Dropbox Component)
Lists revisions for a file path or file resource Id.
Syntax
void __fastcall ListRevisions(String FileResource);
Remarks
This method lists revisions for a specific file path or for a specific file resource Id. This method is not supported for folder resources.
FileResource must be a file path, an Id-based relative file path, or a file resource Id.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources properties.
The MaxRevisionResults configuration setting controls the maximum number of results returned. (Note that unlike the component's other listing methods, the results returned by this method are never paged; MaxRevisionResults specifies the overall limit rather than the page size limit.)
Path-based vs. Id-based Revision Histories
When listing revisions, the server can return the revision history either by path or by Id. A path's revision history will include revisions for any and all files that have been located there; while an Id's revision history will only return revisions for the associated file resource (regardless of where it's been located over time).
By default, the component chooses which mode the server should use automatically each time ListRevisions is called based on the kind of resource identifier passed for the FileResource parameter. If a path (or an Id-based relative path) is provided, it chooses the path-based mode; and if a file resource Id is provided, it chooses the Id-based mode.
The ListRevisionsMode configuration setting can be used to explicitly control which revision listing mode the server should use.
// ResourceList event handler.
dropbox.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name + ", Revision: " + e.Revision);
};
dropbox.ListRevisions("/work_stuff/serious_business/best_cat_pictures.zip");
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Process resource revisions here.
}
ListSharedLinks Method (Dropbox Component)
Lists shared links created by the current user.
Syntax
void __fastcall ListSharedLinks(String Resource);
Remarks
This method lists shared links created by the current user. If Resource is empty string, all of the user's shared links will be returned. If Resource is non-empty, the results will be limited to just shared links that provide access to the resource in question (direct links and links to any parent folders).
Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, a resource Id, or empty string.
Calling this method will fire the SharedLinkList event once for each shared link, and will also populate the SharedLinks properties.
If there are still more shared links available to list when this method returns, the SharedLinkMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until SharedLinkMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the SharedLinks properties.
// SharedLinkList event handler.
dropbox.OnSharedLinkList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name + ", URL: " + e.URL);
};
// List all of the shared links created by the current user.
do {
dropbox.ListSharedLinks("");
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.SharedLinks.Count; i++) {
// Process shared links here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dropbox.SharedLinkMarker));
MoveResource Method (Dropbox Component)
Moves a resource.
Syntax
void __fastcall MoveResource(String FromResource, String ToResourcePath);
Remarks
This method moves the resource FromResource to a new path ToResourcePath.
FromResource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id. ToResourcePath must be a path or an Id-based relative path (it must always end with the name of the file/folder resource being moved).
The AllowOwnershipTransfers configuration setting must be enabled before calling this method if a move operation would result in the current user transferring their ownership to another user (or to a team).
The RenameIfExists configuration setting may be enabled before calling this method to have the server automatically resolve naming conflicts.
Reset Method (Dropbox Component)
Resets the component to its initial state.
Syntax
void __fastcall Reset();
Remarks
This method resets the component to its initial state.
RestoreResource Method (Dropbox Component)
Restores a given file resource revision.
Syntax
String __fastcall RestoreResource(String Revision, String ToResourcePath);
Remarks
This method restores a the specified Revision of a file resource, saving it to the given path ToResourcePath. Restoring a deleted file resource can also be done using this method as long as the revision Id is known (there's no way to obtain revision Ids for file resources which have already been deleted; this is a limitation of the Dropbox API).
Revision must be a revision Id. ToResourcePath must be a file path (and it must end with the desired name of the file resource being restored).
RevokeLink Method (Dropbox Component)
Revokes a shared link.
Syntax
void __fastcall RevokeLink(String SharedLink);
Remarks
This method revokes an existing shared link; SharedLink must be a shared link URL.
Keep in mind that a resource may still be accessible after revoking its shared link if shared links still exist for any of its parent folders. The ListSharedLinks method can be used to get a list of all existing links that provide access to any given resource.
Search Method (Dropbox Component)
Searches for resources.
Syntax
void __fastcall Search(String FolderResource, String Query);
Remarks
This method searches for resources matching Query within the specified FolderResource.
FolderResource must be a folder path, an Id-based, relative folder path, a folder resource Id, or empty string (in which case the current user's entire Dropbox is searched). The SearchCategories, SearchFileExtensions, SearchKind, and SearchNamesOnly properties may be used to further control the search options the server uses.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each search result, and will also populate the Resources properties.
If there are still more search results available to list when this method returns, the SearchMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until SearchMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Resources properties.
The MaxSearchResults configuration setting can be used to control how many results are returned each time this method is called.
SendCustomRequest Method (Dropbox Component)
Sends a custom request to the Dropbox API.
Syntax
void __fastcall SendCustomRequest(String HttpMethod, String RequestPath, String RequestBody);
Remarks
This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the Dropbox API.
Valid values for HttpMethod are:
- GET
- POST (default if empty)
The value passed for RequestPath must already be URL-encoded in a manner acceptable to the Dropbox API. The RequestBody parameter may be empty if not needed.
Usage
When this method is called, the component does the following:
- Builds a request URL, including query parameters, as follows:
- The specified RequestPath is appended to the Dropbox API endpoint, https://api.dropboxapi.com/2.
- All query parameters in the QueryParams properties are added to the request URL.
- Sends the request using the specified HttpMethod, the request URL build in step 1, the header information held by Authorization and OtherHeaders, and the given RequestBody (if non-empty).
- Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders properties, and the response body in the specified LocalFile, or ResourceData (using the same logic as DownloadFile).
If the response body is JSON data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
UploadFile Method (Dropbox Component)
Uploads a file resource.
Syntax
String __fastcall UploadFile(String NewFileResource);
Remarks
This method uploads a new file resource (or potentially updates or overwrites an existing one). The Id of the newly-created (or updated) file resource is returned.
NewFileResource must be a file path, an Id-based relative file path, or (only when updating/overwriting) a file resource Id.
Name Conflict Resolution
The component automatically chooses how the server should resolve name conflicts (which occur if the specified NewFileResource already exists) based on the current values of the IfRevision and RenameIfExists configuration settings and the Overwrite property. The following steps describe how the choice is made:
- If the uploaded file data is identical to the contents of the existing file resource, the server will always ignore the upload attempt and return a successful response, regardless of what IfRevision, RenameIfExists, and Overwrite are currently set to. (This is a Dropbox server-side behavior that cannot be changed.)
- Otherwise, if IfRevision is populated, then the existing file resource will have its contents updated as long as its latest revision Id matches the one held by IfRevision. If the revision Ids don't match, then RenameIfExists decides the outcome:
- If RenameIfExists is true, then a new file resource is created with a unique name that contains "conflicted copy".
- If RenameIfExists is false, then the upload fails.
- Otherwise, if RenameIfExists is true, then a new file resource is created with a unique name.
- Otherwise, if Overwrite is true, then the existing file resource is overwritten with a new one.
- Otherwise, the upload fails.
If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ResourceData will be used.
To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.
Upload Notes
Dropbox offers two ways to upload a file. For smaller files a simple upload option is provided to upload data in one request. This is the default option. For larger files, uploads can be fragmented into multiple pieces, allowing resuming of uploads that may be interrupted.
Simple
By default the component uses the simple upload mechanism.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");
Resumable
To enable resumable uploads set UseResumableUpload to true. This is recommended for large files. The component will automatically fragment the specified file into smaller pieces and upload each individually. FragmentSize may be set to specify the size of the fragment if desired. The default fragment size is 10 MB.
When UseResumableUpload is set to true and UploadFile is called, a resumable upload session is started by the component. UploadSessionId is populated with a resumable upload session Id identifying the session (this value may be needed for additional operations if the upload does not complete normally).
During a resumable upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The component also updates StartByte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.
If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that UploadSessionId and StartByte are populated (if the same instance of the component is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.
Note that if the upload is not resumed after some time the upload session will expire.
dropbox.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
dropbox.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte and ResumeURL are already populated from the previous
//upload attempt.
dropbox.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
WaitForChanges Method (Dropbox Component)
Waits a certain amount of time for changes to occur.
Syntax
bool __fastcall WaitForChanges(int Timeout);
Remarks
This method blocks for Timeout seconds, waiting for changes to occur within the scope represented by the current NextChangeMarker (which must already be populated). If any changes occur, returns true; otherwise returns false.
Timeout must be a value between 30 and 480 seconds (inclusive). Note that Dropbox also adds 90 seconds of random jitter to this value. This method may return early if changes occur before the total timeout expires.
If this method returns true, use ListChanges to retrieve the changes.
Note that this method will automatically change the value of Timeout property as necessary when called; and will restore the original value before returning.
// Get the baseline state first.
Dropbox dropbox = new Dropbox();
dropbox.ListChanges("");
do {
// Continue to call ListChanges() until ChangeMarker is the empty string (indicating there
// are no more changes to list).
dropbox.ListChanges("");
} while (dropbox.ChangeMarker.Length > 0);
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Apply the baseline state.
}
// Now NextChangeMarker will be populated. If we were to call ListChanges() again right now,
// nothing would be listed and NextChangeMarker would still be populated.
// Wait at least 2 minutes for changes to occur. Assume something changes while we wait.
dropbox.WaitForChanges(120); // (Note that this is a blocking call.)
dropbox.ListChanges("");
do {
dropbox.ListChanges("");
} while (dropbox.ChangeMarker.Length > 0);
for (int i = 0; i < dropbox.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Apply the changes.
}
EndTransfer Event (Dropbox Component)
This event fires when a document finishes transferring.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; } TcsDropboxEndTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxEndTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxEndTransferEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxEndTransferEvent OnEndTransfer = { read=FOnEndTransfer, write=FOnEndTransfer };
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 (Dropbox Component)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ErrorCode; String Description; } TcsDropboxErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxErrorEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.
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 (Dropbox Component)
Fires after each fragment of a resumable upload is completed.
Syntax
typedef struct { int FragmentNumber; int FragmentCount; bool Interrupt; } TcsDropboxFragmentCompleteEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxFragmentCompleteEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxFragmentCompleteEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxFragmentCompleteEvent OnFragmentComplete = { read=FOnFragmentComplete, write=FOnFragmentComplete };
Remarks
When UseResumableUpload is true and UploadFile is called, this event will fire after each fragment is uploaded, providing an indication of overall upload progress.
FragmentNumber is the number of the current fragment that has completed. This value starts at 1.
FragmentCount is the total number of fragments that will be uploaded.
Interrupt can be set to true to interrupt the upload. The upload may be resumed later.
Header Event (Dropbox Component)
This event is fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Field; String Value; } TcsDropboxHeaderEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxHeaderEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxHeaderEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxHeaderEvent OnHeader = { read=FOnHeader, write=FOnHeader };
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 (Dropbox Component)
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
typedef struct { int LogLevel; String Message; String LogType; } TcsDropboxLogEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxLogEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxLogEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxLogEvent OnLog = { read=FOnLog, write=FOnLog };
Remarks
This event fires once for each log message generated by the component. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
Message is the log entry.
LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:
- "Info"
- "RequestHeaders"
- "ResponseHeaders"
- "RequestBody"
- "ResponseBody"
- "ProxyRequest"
- "ProxyResponse"
- "FirewallRequest"
- "FirewallResponse"
Progress Event (Dropbox Component)
Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; __int64 BytesTransferred; __int64 TotalBytes; int PercentDone; } TcsDropboxProgressEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxProgressEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxProgressEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxProgressEvent OnProgress = { read=FOnProgress, write=FOnProgress };
Remarks
This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.
Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).
BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).
TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.
PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.
Note: By default, the component tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.
For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.
This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the component will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.
ResourceList Event (Dropbox Component)
Fires once for each resource returned when listing resources, changes, or revisions.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Id; String Name; String Path; int ResourceType; String ModifiedTime; __int64 Size; int AccessType; String Revision; String Hash; bool Deleted; } TcsDropboxResourceListEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxResourceListEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxResourceListEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxResourceListEvent OnResourceList = { read=FOnResourceList, write=FOnResourceList };
Remarks
This event fires once for each resource returned when ListResources, GetResourceInfo, Search, ListChanges, or ListRevisions is called.
Id is the Id of the resource.
Name is the name of the resource.
Path is the path of the resource.
ResourceType reflects the resource's type. Possible values are:
0 (drtFile) | A file. |
1 (drtFolder) | A folder. |
ModifiedTime reflects the last modified time of the file resource, as reported by the server. Not applicable for folder resources. Timestamps are formatted according to ISO 8601 and are always in UTC time.
Size is the size of the file resource, in bytes. Not applicable for folder resources.
AccessType reflects the type of access the current user has to the resource. Possible values are:
0 (atUnrestricted) | The user's access to the resource is not restricted. |
1 (atReadOnly) | The user has read-only access to the resource. This indicates that the resource is, or is located within, a read-only shared folder. |
2 (atLimited) | The user has limited access to the immediate contents of the folder resource (by virtue of having access to one or more other resources located somewhere within the folder). See further notes below. Only applicable to folders. |
3 (atNoAccess) | The user is allowed to see that the folder resource exists, but may not access its contents. Only applicable to folders. |
An access type of 2 (atLimited) still allows the user to call ListResources for a folder, but the results will be limited to the subset of resources within that folder that the user can actually access (including any further limited-access subfolders).
Revision is the revision Id of the file resource. Note applicable for folder resources.
Hash holds a hash of the file resource's content. Not applicable for folder resources.
Deleted indicates whether the resource has been deleted.
SharedLinkList Event (Dropbox Component)
Fires once for each shared link returned when listing shared links.
Syntax
typedef struct { String URL; String Name; String Id; String Path; int ResourceType; int Visibility; String Expires; } TcsDropboxSharedLinkListEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxSharedLinkListEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxSharedLinkListEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxSharedLinkListEvent OnSharedLinkList = { read=FOnSharedLinkList, write=FOnSharedLinkList };
Remarks
This event fires once for each shared link returned when ListSharedLinks is called.
URL is the URL of the shared link.
Name is the name of the linked resource.
Id is Id of the linked resource.
Path is the path of the linked resource.
ResourceType reflects the linked resource's type. Possible values are:
0 (lrtFile) | A file. |
1 (lrtFolder) | A folder. |
Visibility reflects the visibility of the link. Possible values are:
0 (lvPublic) | Anyone with the link can access the linked resource. |
1 (lvTeamOnly) | Only members of the same team with the link can access the linked resource. (Only applicable to Dropbox Business.) |
2 (lvPassword) | Anyone with the link and the link's password can access the linked resource. |
3 (lvTeamAndPassword) | Only members of the same team with the link and the link's password can access the linked resource. (Only applicable to Dropbox Business.) |
4 (lvSharedFolderOnly) | Only members (with the link) of the shared folder containing the linked resource can access it. |
Expires is the expiration timestamp of the link (or empty string, if the link doesn't expire). Timestamps are formatted according to ISO 8601 and are always in UTC time.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (Dropbox Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
typedef struct { String CertEncoded; DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB; String CertSubject; String CertIssuer; String Status; bool Accept; } TcsDropboxSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };
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 (Dropbox Component)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Message; } TcsDropboxSSLStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxSSLStatusEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (Dropbox Component)
This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; } TcsDropboxStartTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxStartTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxStartTransferEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxStartTransferEvent OnStartTransfer = { read=FOnStartTransfer, write=FOnStartTransfer };
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 (Dropbox Component)
This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; __int64 BytesTransferred; int PercentDone; String Text; DynamicArray<Byte> TextB; } TcsDropboxTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TcsDropboxTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TcsDropboxTransferEventParams *e); __property TcsDropboxTransferEvent OnTransfer = { read=FOnTransfer, write=FOnTransfer };
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 (Dropbox Component)
The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.Dropbox Config Settings
By default, this setting is enabled, allowing all pages of results to be accumulated in the appropriate collection properties.
This setting is disabled by default.
This setting is disabled by default.
This setting is disabled by default.
Timestamps are formatted according to ISO 8601 and are always in UTC time.
Timestamps are formatted according to ISO 8601 and are always in UTC time.
0 (default) | Public | Anyone with the link can access the linked resource. |
1 | Team only | Only members of the same team with the link can access the linked resource. (Only applicable to Dropbox Business.) |
2 | Password | Anyone with the link and the link's password can access the linked resource. |
Note that links created for team resources are subject to the team's access policies, and thus may end up with a different visibility than was requested.
yyyy | year |
MM | month |
dd | day |
hh | hours |
mm | minutes |
ss | seconds |
fff | milliseconds |
These format specifiers can be written in any combination. For example:
DropBox.Config("DateFormat=yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss");
DropBox.Config("DateFormat=dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
If this setting is not specified, the default date/time format will be yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ. This is from ISO 8601.
When downloading encrypted data with LocalFile set, the component will automatically create a temporary file at TempPath to hold the encrypted file contents. When the download is complete, the data is decrypted to LocalFile.
If the download is interrupted, the specified file will hold the partially downloaded encrypted file contents. Before resuming the download, this setting must be set to a valid file containing the partially encrypted file contents. See DownloadFile for details.
This setting accepts a hex encoded value.
This setting accepts a hex encoded value.
- 0 (default) - PBKDF1
- 1 - PBKDF2
The default value is 10485760 (10MB).
- DeleteResource: Prevents the deletion from occurring if the specified revision Id does not match the latest revision Id of the file resource specified by the Resource method parameter. (Not supported when deleting folder resources.)
- UploadFile: Refer to the UploadFile method's documentation for information.
Note that Dropbox only returns a very limited subset of metadata for deleted resources; this is a limitation of the Dropbox API that cannot be changed. Specifically, the following properties are returned:
- ResourceDeleted (always true)
- ResourceName
- ResourcePath
This setting is disabled by default.
This setting is enabled by default.
By default, the component chooses which mode the server should use automatically each time ListRevisions is called based on the kind of resource identifier passed for the FileResource parameter. If a path (or an Id-based relative path) is provided, it chooses the path-based mode; and if a file resource Id is provided, it chooses the Id-based mode.
This setting can be used to explicitly control which revision listing mode the server should use. Possible values are:
0 (default) | Auto | The component will automatically choose which mode the server uses based on the kind of resource identifier passed to ListRevisions. |
1 | Path | The server will always list revisions by path. If a file resource Id is passed to ListRevisions, the server will use the path of the file associated with that Id. |
2 | Id | The server will always list revisions by file resource Id. If a path (or an Id-based relative path) is provided, the server will use the Id of the file at that path. |
Acceptable values are from 1 to 2000 inclusive. The default is -1, which causes the server's default to be used.
Acceptable values are from 1 to 100 inclusive. The default is -1, which causes the server's default (10) to be used.
Acceptable values are from 1 to 1000 inclusive. The default is -1, which causes the server's default (100) to be used.
This setting is disabled by default; UploadFile will cause the server to send file upload/update notifications.
This setting is disabled by default. Permanent deletion is only supported for Dropbox Business.
If this setting is enabled (default), then when a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by the Progress event will account for the data that was successfully transferred before the interruption.
If this setting is disabled, then the component 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.
The default value, 1, will cause the Progress event to fire each time the event's PercentDone parameter value increases by one percent. Setting this setting to 0 will cause the Progress event to fire every time data is transferred.
Note that the Progress event will always fire once at the beginning and end of a transfer, regardless of this setting's value. Also, if PercentDone cannot be calculated for a particular transfer (e.g., for downloads that use chunked transfer encoding), then the component will behave as if this setting were 0 for the duration of the transfer.
This setting is disabled by default.
The name the server choses will be always unique; it will append a number to the end of the original name (for files, before the extension). That number will be incremented until a unique name is found.
This setting is disabled by default. Note that, when calling UploadFile, this setting takes precedence over the Overwrite property if both are enabled.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.
When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XText, XParent, XSubTree, XChildCount, XChildName[i], and XChildXText[i] providing other properties of the element.
XPath syntax 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. |
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:
Description | XML XPath | JSON XPath |
Document root | / | /json |
Specific element | /firstlevel/one | /json/firstlevel/one |
i-th child | /firstlevel/two/item[2] | /json/firstlevel/two/[2] |
This list is not exhaustive, but it provides a general idea of the possibilities.

OAuth Config Settings
Bearer (default) | When the access token returned by the server is a Bearer type, the authorization string returned by Authorize will be in the format "Bearer access_token". This can be supplied as the value of the HTTP Authorization header. |
For example, when using the Authorization Code grant type, the OAuthRefreshToken property should be set to a valid refresh token. When using the Client Credential grant type however, the component does not need any additional properties set as it can already get a new access token without user interaction.
If set to true (default) the redirect_uri will be sent in all cases. If set to false the redirect_uri will only be sent if it has a value.
To parse the payload for specific claims, see OAuthJWTXPath.

Description | JSON XPath |
Document root | /json |
Specific element | /json/element_one |
Username Claim (Microsoft Specific) | /json/preferred_username |

Gmail gmail = new Gmail();
gmail.Config("OAuthTransferredRequest=on");
gmail.Authorize();
Console.WriteLine(gmail.Config("OAuthTransferredRequest"));
C++
Gmail gmail;
gmail.Config("OAuthTransferredRequest=on");
gmail.Authorize();
printf("%s\r\n", gmail.Config("OAuthTransferredRequest"));
This setting can also be set to activate or deactivate the web server. Under normal circumstances, this would not be required as the component will automatically start and stop the web server when Authorize is called. In certain cases, it is required to start the webserver before calling Authorize. For example, if the OAuthReturnURL needs to be set to a relay server, then you will need to start the web server manually. Another example would be when the OAuthReUseWebServer is set to true, the server will not be automatically stopped, and this configuration setting must be set to "false" to stop the embedded web server.
The OAuthWebServerCertStoreType property specifies the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthWebServerCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in OAuthWebServerCertStorePassword.
OAuthWebServerCertStore is used in conjunction with the OAuthWebServerCertSubject property in order to specify the certificate to be used during SSL.
Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.
The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
ROOT | Root certificates. |
When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).
Note: This is required when OAuthWebServerSSLEnabled is set to true.
Note: This is only applicable when OAuthWebServerSSLEnabled is set to true.
0 | User - This is the default for Windows. This specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note: This store type is not available in Java. |
1 | Machine - For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: This store type is not available in Java. |
2 | PFXFile - The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates. |
3 | PFXBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) format. |
4 | JKSFile - The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note: This store type is available only in Java. |
5 | JKSBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: This store type is available only in Java. |
6 | PEMKeyFile - The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
7 | PEMKeyBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
14 | PPKFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
15 | PPKBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
16 | XMLFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format. |
17 | XMLBlob - The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format. |
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
Note: This is required when OAuthWebServerSSLEnabled is set to true.
The default value is localhost.
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the component adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the component raises an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.
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]".
The default value is False.
If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the component raises an exception.
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 component raises an exception instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is false.
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. Note: The CodePage setting must be set to a value capable of interpreting the specified host name. For instance, to specify UTF-8, set CodePage to 65001.
When True (default), the component will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

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 component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component 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).
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.
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.

SSL Config Settings
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.
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.
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.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the component 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 component is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. 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.
When set to 0 (default), the component 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.
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.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the component 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:

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the component 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 component 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.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
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.
When set, the component 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 component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

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 ...

When specified the component 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 component raises an exception.
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.
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)
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:

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to true. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all components of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is applicable only on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
