AzureFile Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The AzureFile class provides an easy to use interface to Microsoft's Azure File Storage service.
Syntax
cloudstorage.AzureFile
Remarks
The AzureFile class offers an easy-to-use API for the Microsoft Azure File Storage service. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, file manipulation, and more.
Authentication
Authentication is simple, set the Account property to the name of the Azure Storage account to operate against, and set the AccessKey property to an Azure access key associated with that account.
Addressing Resources
Azure File Storage accounts can contain one or more file shares. Use the ListShares method to list available shares, and select which one the class should operate against using the Share property.
After selecting a share, address the files and folders within it using Linux-style absolute paths. Unless otherwise specified, the class always works in terms of absolute paths, and will always prepend a forward slash (/) to any path passed to it that does not already start with one.
Listing Directory Contents
ListResources lists resources (files and folders) within the specified directory. Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources collection.
// ResourceList event handler.
azurefile.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};
azurefile.Share = "myshare";
do {
azurefile.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");
for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Process resources here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ResourceMarker));
Downloading Files
The DownloadFile method downloads files.
If a stream has been specified using SetDownloadStream, the file data will be sent through it. If a stream is not specified, and 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:
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
Resuming Downloads
The class 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";
azurefile.LocalFile = downloadFile;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
Resuming Encrypted File Downloads
Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.
If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class 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.
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.EncryptionPassword = "password";
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially download temp file
azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(azurefile.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
Uploading Files
The UploadFile method uploads new files.
If SetUploadStream has been used to set an upload stream, it will take priority as the file data source. 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
The UploadFile method is a convenience method that performs a resumable file upload. When called, the class first uses CreateFile to initialize a new file entry on the server; and then it fragments the file data into smaller pieces and calls PutRange multiple times in succession to upload those fragments. The fragment size is fixed at 4MB (this is a server limitation that cannot be changed).
During the upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class 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 StartByte is populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). If uploading from a stream, be sure to reset its position to where it was the first time the upload was started (typically the beginning). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt.
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
MemoryStream uploadStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("../MyFile.zip"));
azurefile.SetUploadStream(uploadStream);
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt.
//You MUST reset the stream's position to where it was when you first started the upload!
uploadStream.Position = 0;
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

EncryptionPassword Property (AzureFile Class)
The encryption password.
Syntax
public String getEncryptionPassword(); public void setEncryptionPassword(String encryptionPassword);
Default Value
""
Remarks
If this property is populated when UploadFile or DownloadFile is called, the class will attempt to encrypt or decrypt the data before uploading or after downloading it.
The class uses the value specified here to generate the necessary encryption Key and IV values using the PKCS5 password digest algorithm. This provides a simpler alternative to creating and managing Key and IV values directly.
However, it is also possible to explicitly specify the Key and IV values to use by setting the EncryptionKey and EncryptionIV configuration settings. This may be necessary if, e.g., the data needs to be encrypted/decrypted by another utility which generates Key and IV values differently.
This property is not available at design time.
Firewall Property (AzureFile Class)
A set of properties related to firewall access.
Syntax
public Firewall getFirewall(); public void setFirewall(Firewall firewall);
Remarks
This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.Idle Property (AzureFile Class)
The current status of the class.
Syntax
public boolean isIdle();

This property is read-only.
LocalFile Property (AzureFile Class)
The location of the local file.
Syntax
public String getLocalFile(); public void setLocalFile(String localFile);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the location of a file on disk. This is used as the source file when calling UploadFile or PutRange, and as the destination file when calling DownloadFile.
Note that if SetUploadStream or SetDownloadStream is called, the specified stream will be used instead of the file set here.
LocalHost Property (AzureFile Class)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
public String getLocalHost(); public void setLocalHost(String localHost);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
Metadata Property (AzureFile Class)
A collection of metadata items.

""
Remarks
This property will be populated when ListShares is called if the results are paged and there are more pages. To list all shares, continue to call ListShares until this property returns empty string.
Refer to ListShares for more information.
This property is not available at design time.
Shares Property (AzureFile Class)
A collection of shares.
Syntax
public AzureFileShareList getShares();
Remarks
This collection holds a list of shares.
Calling ListShares or GetShareInfo will populate this collection.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Please refer to the AzureFileShare type for a complete list of fields.SSLAcceptServerCert Property (AzureFile Class)
Instructs the class to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLAcceptServerCert(); public void setSSLAcceptServerCert(Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert);
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.
You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.
Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLCert Property (AzureFile Class)
The certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);
Remarks
This property includes the digital certificate that the class will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLProvider Property (AzureFile Class)
The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
public int getSSLProvider(); public void setSSLProvider(int SSLProvider); Enumerated values: public final static int sslpAutomatic = 0; public final static int sslpPlatform = 1; public final static int sslpInternal = 2;
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.
Possible values are as follows:
0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |
In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used.
SSLServerCert Property (AzureFile Class)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLServerCert();
Remarks
This property contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.StartByte Property (AzureFile Class)
The byte offset from which to start the upload or download.
Syntax
public long getStartByte(); public void setStartByte(long startByte);
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property may be set to resume an upload or download; it specifies the offset in the file (or stream, when uploading) from which to resume. See UploadFile and DownloadFile for details about resuming uploads and downloads.
When uploading from a stream, the class will always seek forward in the stream if the value of StartByte is greater than 0 when UploadFile is called. Keep this in mind when resuming interrupted uploads.
This property is not available at design time.
Timeout Property (AzureFile Class)
The timeout for the class.
Syntax
public int getTimeout(); public void setTimeout(int timeout);
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 class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.
If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class throws 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.
UseSSL Property (AzureFile Class)
Whether to use SSL/TLS when connecting.
Syntax
public boolean isUseSSL(); public void setUseSSL(boolean useSSL);
Default Value
True
Remarks
This property specifies whether the class should use SSL/TLS when connecting.
This property is not available at design time.
AbortCopy Method (AzureFile Class)
Aborts a copy operation.
Syntax
public void abortCopy(String destFilePath, String copyId);
Remarks
This method aborts the copy operation identified by the given CopyId for the destination file at DestFilePath in the share currently selected by Share.
Note that the destination file will still exist after aborting a copy operation, but it will be empty.
AddMetadata Method (AzureFile Class)
Adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties.
Syntax
public void addMetadata(String name, String value);
Remarks
This method adds a metadata item to the Metadata collection. Name specifies the name of the item, and Value specifies the value of the item.
Note that the class will automatically prepend x-ms-meta- to metadata item names (as necessary) when they are submitted to the server. Also note that while metadata item names are case-preserving, they are not case-sensitive.
AddQueryParam Method (AzureFile Class)
Adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.
Syntax
public void addQueryParam(String name, String value);
Remarks
This method is used to add a query parameter to the QueryParams collection. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.
All specified Values will be URL encoded by the class automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.
Authorize Method (AzureFile Class)
Get the authorization string required to access the protected resource.
Syntax
public void 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 ClientProfile field and the GrantType field. 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.
ClearRange Method (AzureFile Class)
Clears a range of bytes from a file.
Syntax
public void clearRange(String filePath, long first, long last);
Remarks
This method clears the range of bytes from First to Last (inclusive) from the file at FilePath in the share currently selected by Share.
The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file. When this method is called, the server frees any such chunks that are completely covered by the specified range of bytes ([First]-[Last]), and writes 0s to the appropriate portions of any chunks which are not completely covered by that range.
Freed chunks are not included in the results returned by GetRanges.
Config Method (AzureFile Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
public String config(String configurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
CopyFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Copies a file.
Syntax
public String copyFile(String fromFilePath, String toFilePath, String toShare);
Remarks
This method copies the file at FromFilePath (in the share currently selected by Share) to the path ToFilePath in the share ToShare. If this method finishes successfully, it will either return an asynchronous copy operation Id, or an empty string (if the copy has finished already).
If ToShare is empty, the current value of Share will be used instead. If ToShare is non-empty, the value will automatically be lowercased when preparing the request.
Any parent folders included in ToFilePath must already exist.
If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
As long as the server doesn't return an error, this method will always populate the CopyId and CopyStatus configuration settings (and clear CopyProgress and CopyStatusDesc).
Asynchronous Copy Notes
As mentioned, this method will return a copy operation Id if the copy operation was started asynchronously. In this case, use the GetFileInfo method to poll the destination file's information, which will cause the CopyStatus, CopyStatusDesc, and CopyProgress configuration settings to be refreshed.
A copy operation whose CopyStatus is still pending may also be aborted by passing the copy operation Id returned by this method (or later retrieved from CopyId) to the AbortCopy method.
// Copy a file to another location within the same share.
string copyResult = azurefile.CopyFile("/folder1/important.zip", "/folder2/secrets.zip", "");
// If the returned value *isn't* empty string, then we'll monitor the status of the
// asynchronous copy operation by polling once every 2 seconds using GetFileInfo().
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(copyResult)) {
do {
azurefile.GetFileInfo("/folder2/secrets.zip");
Console.WriteLine("Copy progress: " + azurefile.Config("CopyProgress"));
} while (azurefile.Config("CopyStatus") == "pending");
}
CreateFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Initializes a new file.
Syntax
public String createFile(String newFilePath, long fileLength);
Remarks
This method initializes a new file with a given FileLength (in bytes) at the specified NewFilePath in the share currently selected by Share. The path of the newly-initialized file is returned.
Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.
If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata collection will be sent along with the creation request.
Note: This method is typically only useful for advanced use-cases. To upload a file, just call UploadFile.
Usage Notes
This method does not upload or otherwise allocate any data, it just creates the file entry and "reserves" storage space for it. After a file has been created with this method, the following methods can be used to manipulate its data:
- The PutRange method can be used to upload ranges of data (up to 4MB at once) to the file.
- The ClearRange method can be used to clear an arbitrary range of data from the file, allowing the server to release the associated storage resources.
- The GetRanges method can be used to obtain a list of all data ranges present in the file.
CreateFolder Method (AzureFile Class)
Creates a new folder.
Syntax
public String createFolder(String newFolderPath);
Remarks
This method creates a new folder at the specified NewFolderPath in the share currently selected by Share. The path of the newly-created folder is returned.
Any parent folders included in NewFolderPath must already exist.
If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata collection will be sent along with the creation request.
CreateShare Method (AzureFile Class)
Creates a new share.
Syntax
public void createShare();
Remarks
This method creates a new share using the name specified by the Share property.
If the CreateShareQuota configuration setting is a positive, non-zero integer when this method is called, the share will be created with a space quota of that many GB. A share's space quota may be changed at any time using the SetShareQuota method.
If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata collection will be sent along with the creation request.
Share Name Rules
Share names must adhere to the following rules:
- Must be 3 to 63 characters long.
- Must start with a letter or number; and may only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- All letters much be lowercase. (For convenience, the class will automatically lowercase all letters in any value assigned to Share.)
- All hyphens must be immediately preceded and followed by a letter or number (consecutive hyphens are not allowed).
DeleteFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Deletes a file.
Syntax
public void deleteFile(String filePath);
Remarks
This method deletes the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share.
DeleteFolder Method (AzureFile Class)
Deletes a folder.
Syntax
public void deleteFolder(String folderPath);
Remarks
This method deletes the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by Share.
Only empty folders may be deleted; non-empty folders must be emptied first.
DeleteShare Method (AzureFile Class)
Deletes a share.
Syntax
public void deleteShare();
Remarks
This method deletes the share currently selected by the Share property.
If the currently selected Share has any snapshots associated with it, and the DeleteShareSnapshots configuration setting is disabled (default) when this method is called, the server will return an error. Shares with snapshots can only be deleted after enabling DeleteShareSnapshots.
Note that, according to the Azure File Storage documentation, a share's name cannot be reused until at least 30 seconds after its deletion.
DownloadFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Downloads a file.
Syntax
public void downloadFile(String filePath);
Remarks
This method downloads the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share.
If a stream has been specified using SetDownloadStream, the file data will be sent through it. If a stream is not specified, and 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:
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
Resuming Downloads
The class 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";
azurefile.LocalFile = downloadFile;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
Resuming Encrypted File Downloads
Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.
If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class 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.
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.EncryptionPassword = "password";
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:
//Get the size of the partially download temp file
azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(azurefile.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);
GetFileInfo Method (AzureFile Class)
Gets a file's information and metadata.
Syntax
public void getFileInfo(String filePath);
Remarks
This method gets information and metadata for the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event, will re-populate the Resources collection with a single item, and will re-populate the Metadata collection with any metadata currently associated with the file.
GetFolderInfo Method (AzureFile Class)
Gets a folder's information and metadata.
Syntax
public void getFolderInfo(String folderPath);
Remarks
This method gets information and metadata for the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by Share.
FolderPath can be empty string to get information about the root folder of the share.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event, will re-populate the Resources collection with a single item, and will re-populate the Metadata collection with any metadata currently associated with the folder.
GetLink Method (AzureFile Class)
Creates a link that provides access to a share or file.
Syntax
public String getLink(String filePath, String permissions, String startTime, String expiryTime);
Remarks
This method creates and returns a shared access signature (SAS), which is a link that provides access to a specific share or file. The following table indicates which inputs must be provided to produce a link of the desired type:
Permissions specifies what permissions the SAS grants, in the form of an abbreviated permissions list. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format this value.
StartTime and ExpiryTime specify the UTC start and end times of the SAS's validity interval. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format these values.
StartTime may be empty, in which case the server will assume that the link is valid immediately. Permissions and ExpiryTime must both be non-empty, unless an si query parameter that references a stored access policy (which has corresponding non-empty values) is present in the QueryParams collection.
If any of the query parameters listed below are present in the QueryParams collection when this method is called, they will be included when creating the SAS. All other application-specified query parameters are ignored.
- Response headers: rscc, rscd, rsce, rscl, rsct
- IP address (single or range): sip
- Allowed HTTP protocol(s): spr
- Stored access policy ("signed identifier"): si
For more information about SAS links, refer to Azure's Create a Service SAS article.
GetRanges Method (AzureFile Class)
Gets the list of allocated data ranges in a file.
Syntax
public void getRanges(String filePath);
Remarks
This method gets the list of allocated data ranges in the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share and populates the Ranges collection with the results.
The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file; thus, the size of every range returned by this method will always be a multiple of 512. Chunks that are not currently allocated (either because no data has been written to them, or because they've been freed with ClearRange) will not be returned by this method.
GetShareInfo Method (AzureFile Class)
Gets a share's information and metadata.
Syntax
public void getShareInfo();
Remarks
This method gets information and metadata for the share currently selected by the Share property.
Calling this method will fire the ShareList event, will re-populate the Shares collection with a single item, and will re-populate the Metadata collection with any metadata currently associated with the share.
Interrupt Method (AzureFile Class)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
public void interrupt();
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ListResources Method (AzureFile Class)
Lists resources in a given folder.
Syntax
public void listResources(String folderPath);
Remarks
This method lists the resources in the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by Share.
Before calling this method, the Prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned.
Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resources collection.
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 collection. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Resources collection every time a page of results is returned.
Note that the server only returns the following resource fields when listing resources (use GetFileInfo or GetFolderInfo to retrieve all fields for a specific resource):
// ResourceList event handler.
azurefile.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};
azurefile.Share = "myshare";
do {
azurefile.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");
for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Resources.Count; i++) {
// Process resources here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ResourceMarker));
ListShares Method (AzureFile Class)
Lists shares in the file storage account.
Syntax
public void listShares();
Remarks
This method lists the shares in the file storage account specified by the Account property.
Before calling this method, the Prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned.
Calling this method will fire the ShareList event once for each share, and will also populate the Shares collection.
If there are still more shares available to list when this method returns, the ShareMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ShareMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Shares collection. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Shares collection every time a page of results is returned.
Note that the server does not return the shares' SpaceUsed field when listing shares; use GetShareInfo to retrieve all fields for a specific share.
// ShareList event handler.
azurefile.OnShareList += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};
do {
azurefile.ListShares();
for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Shares.Count; i++) {
// Process shares here.
}
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ShareMarker));
PutRange Method (AzureFile Class)
Uploads a range of data to a file.
Syntax
public void putRange(String filePath, long writeOffset);
Remarks
This method uploads a range of data to the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share. The data to upload cannot be larger than 4MB (4194304 bytes), and is written to the file at the given WriteOffset (specified in bytes).
The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file. However, neither the WriteOffset nor the length of the data to upload need be a multiple of 512. Any portions of a chunk not written to will be populated with 0s.
Note that, according to the Azure File Storage documentation, this operation requires a write lock on the entire file in order to complete successfully.
RenameFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Renames a file.
Syntax
public void renameFile(String oldFilePath, String newFilePath);
Remarks
This method moves and/or renames an existing file on the server at the specified OldFilePath in the share currently selected by Share. The NewFilePath parameter indicates the new location and name of the file.
Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.
The Overwrite property can optionally be enabled to overwrite the file if it already exists at the location specified by NewFilePath.
RenameFolder Method (AzureFile Class)
Renames a directory.
Syntax
public void renameFolder(String oldDirPath, String newDirPath);
Remarks
This method moves and/or renames an existing folder on the server at the specified OldDirPath in the share currently selected by Share. The NewDirPath parameter indicates the new location and name of the folder.
Any parent folders included in NewDirPath must already exist.
Reset Method (AzureFile Class)
Resets the class to its initial state.
Syntax
public void reset();
Remarks
This method resets the class to its initial state.
ResizeFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Resizes a file.
Syntax
public void resizeFile(String filePath, long newSize);
Remarks
This method resizes the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by Share. NewSize, which is specified in bytes, cannot be negative.
SetDownloadStream Method (AzureFile Class)
Sets the stream to which downloaded data will be written.
Syntax
public void setDownloadStream(java.io.OutputStream downloadStream);
Remarks
If a download stream is set before data is downloaded, the downloaded data will be written to the stream. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0.
Note: Passing a non-null value for DownloadStream will cause LocalFile to be cleared. Similarly, setting LocalFile to a non-empty value will discard any stream set using this method.
SetShareQuota Method (AzureFile Class)
Sets a share's space quota.
Syntax
public void setShareQuota(int quota);
Remarks
This method sets the size, in GB, of the space quota imposed on the share currently selected by the Share property. Quota must be greater than 0.
It is legal to lower a share's quota to a value less than its current space usage. However, doing so will prevent new space from being allocated until either the space usage falls below quota or the quota is raised above the space usage.
SetUploadStream Method (AzureFile Class)
Sets the stream from which data is read when uploading.
Syntax
public void setUploadStream(java.io.InputStream uploadStream);
Remarks
If an upload stream is set before data is uploaded, the content of the stream will be read by the class and uploaded to the server. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0.
Note: Passing a non-null value for UploadStream will cause LocalFile to be cleared. Similarly, setting LocalFile to a non-empty value will discard any stream set using this method.
UpdateMetadata Method (AzureFile Class)
Sets the metadata for a file, folder, or share.
Syntax
public void updateMetadata(String path, int resourceType);
Remarks
This method sets the metadata for a file, folder, or share to the items currently held by the Metadata collection. The ResourceType parameter indicates the kind of resource the class should prepare the request for; possible values are:
- 0: Set the metadata for the file at the specified Path in the share currently selected by Share.
- 1: Set the metadata for the folder at the specified Path in the share currently selected by Share.
- 2: Set the metadata for the share currently selected by Share (Path is ignored).
Note that it is not possible to do a partial metadata update. That is, all metadata currently associated with the remote entity will be replaced with the metadata sent in the request.
UploadFile Method (AzureFile Class)
Uploads a new file resource.
Syntax
public String uploadFile(String newFilePath);
Remarks
This method uploads a new file resource at the specified NewFilePath in the share currently selected by Share. The path of the newly-created file is returned.
Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.
If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata collection will be sent along with the creation request.
If SetUploadStream has been used to set an upload stream, it will take priority as the file data source. 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
The UploadFile method is a convenience method that performs a resumable file upload. When called, the class first uses CreateFile to initialize a new file entry on the server; and then it fragments the file data into smaller pieces and calls PutRange multiple times in succession to upload those fragments. The fragment size is fixed at 4MB (this is a server limitation that cannot be changed).
During the upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class 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 StartByte is populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). If uploading from a stream, be sure to reset its position to where it was the first time the upload was started (typically the beginning). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.
azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt.
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
MemoryStream uploadStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("../MyFile.zip"));
azurefile.SetUploadStream(uploadStream);
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
//The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download.
//Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt.
//You MUST reset the stream's position to where it was when you first started the upload!
uploadStream.Position = 0;
azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");
EndTransfer Event (AzureFile Class)
This event fires when a document finishes transferring.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void endTransfer(AzureFileEndTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileEndTransferEvent { public int direction; }
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 (AzureFile Class)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void error(AzureFileErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class throws 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 (AzureFile Class)
Fires after each fragment of a resumable upload is completed.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void fragmentComplete(AzureFileFragmentCompleteEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileFragmentCompleteEvent { public int fragmentNumber; public int fragmentCount; public boolean interrupt; //read-write }
Remarks
When 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 begins 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 (AzureFile Class)
Fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void header(AzureFileHeaderEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileHeaderEvent { public String field; public String value; }
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 (AzureFile Class)
Fired once for each log message.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void log(AzureFileLogEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileLogEvent { public int logLevel; public String message; public String logType; }
Remarks
This event is fired once for each log message generated by the class. 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"

Progress Event (AzureFile Class)
Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void progress(AzureFileProgressEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileProgressEvent { public int direction; public long bytesTransferred; public long totalBytes; public int percentDone; }
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 class 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 class 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 (AzureFile Class)
Fires once for each resource returned when listing resources.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void resourceList(AzureFileResourceListEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileResourceListEvent { public String name; public String path; public String share; public int resourceType; public String modifiedTime; public long size; public String ETag; }
Remarks
This event fires once for each resource returned when ListResources, GetFileInfo, or GetFolderInfo is called.
Name is the name of the resource.
Path is the full path of the resource (not including the share).
Share is the name of the share the resource resides in.
ResourceType reflects the resource's type. Possible values are:
0 (afrtFile) | A file. |
1 (afrtFolder) | A folder. |
ModifiedTime is the last modified time of the resource, formatted according to RFC 1123. (Note: this parameter is not populated by calls to ListResources.)
Size is the size of the file. Always 0 for folders.
ETag is the ETag of the resource. (Note: this parameter is not populated by calls to ListResources.)
ShareList Event (AzureFile Class)
Fires once for each share returned when listing shares.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void shareList(AzureFileShareListEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileShareListEvent { public String name; public String modifiedTime; public String ETag; public int quota; }
Remarks
This event fires once for each share returned when ListShares or GetShareInfo is called.
Name is the name of the share.
ModifiedTime is the last modified time of the share, formatted according to RFC 1123.
ETag is the ETag of the share.
Quota is the share's space quota, in GB.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (AzureFile Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void SSLServerAuthentication(AzureFileSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileSSLServerAuthenticationEvent { public byte[] certEncoded; public String certSubject; public String certIssuer; public String status; public boolean accept; //read-write }
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 (AzureFile Class)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(AzureFileSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (AzureFile Class)
This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void startTransfer(AzureFileStartTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileStartTransferEvent { public int direction; }
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 (AzureFile Class)
Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureFileEventListener implements AzureFileEventListener { ... public void transfer(AzureFileTransferEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureFileTransferEvent { public int direction; public long bytesTransferred; public int percentDone; public byte[] text; }
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.

RefreshToken
String
Default Value: ""
Specifies the refresh token received from or sent to the authorization server. This field is set automatically if a refresh token is retrieved from the token server. If the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting is set to true, and the GrantType field is set to a grant that can use refresh tokens.
RequestRefreshToken
boolean
Default Value: True
Specifies whether the class will request a refresh token during authorization. By default, this value is True.
When True, the class will automatically add the necessary scopes or parameters to obtain a refresh token. When False, this field will have no effect. If the necessary scopes or parameters are specified manually, a refresh token can still be obtained.
Note: This field is only applicable when the GrantType field is set to cogtAuthorizationCode.
ReturnURL
String
Default Value: ""
The URL where the user (browser) returns after authenticating. This field is mapped to the redirect_uri parameter when making a request to the authorization server. Typically, this is automatically set by the class when using the embedded web server. If the OAuthWebServerPort or OAuthWebServerHost configuration settings is set, then this field should be set to match. If using the Web client profile, this should be set to the place where the authorization code will be parsed out of the response after the user finishes authorizing.
ServerAuthURL

Proxy Type
The proxy the class will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
AuthScheme
int
Default Value: 0
The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.
AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the class will attempt basic authentication.
If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.
For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.

Default Value: False
Whether to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Windows.
Password
String
Default Value: ""

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Port
int
Default Value: 80
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.
Server
String
Default Value: ""
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.
If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
SSL
int
Default Value: 0
When to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:
psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the class will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the class will use the psNever option. |
psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL-enabled. |
psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL-enabled. |
psTunnel (3) | The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. |
User

public QueryParam( name, value);
Config Settings (AzureFile Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.AzureFile Config Settings
By default, this setting is enabled, allowing all pages of results to be accumulated in the appropriate collection property.
Note that this setting cannot be changed.
This setting is populated after calling CopyFile, or after calling GetFileInfo for the destination file in a copy operation.
Calling CopyFile will clear this setting; call GetFileInfo for the destination file in a copy operation to populate it.
- pending
- success
- aborted
- failed
This setting is populated after calling CopyFile, or after calling GetFileInfo for the destination file in a copy operation.
- If the operation is pending, the description may reflect any non-fatal errors which have occurred thus far.
- If the operation is failed, the description will detail the fatal error which caused the failure.
- Otherwise, the description will always be empty.
Calling CopyFile will clear this setting; call GetFileInfo for the destination file in a copy operation to populate it.
If set to 0 (default), no explicit space quota is imposed on the share when it is created. Note that a share's space quota may be changed at any time using the SetShareQuota method.
If this setting is disabled (default), calling DeleteShare will fail if the specified share has any snapshots associated with it.
When downloading encrypted data with LocalFile set, the class 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
In most cases, the default endpoint suffix is the correct choice. This setting should only be changed if the class needs to use an endpoint suffix associated with a specific National Cloud Deployment, in which case it should be set to one of the values shown in this table:
National Cloud | Endpoint Suffix |
Azure global service | .core.windows.net (default) |
Azure Government (US) | .core.usgovcloudapi.net |
Azure Germany | .core.cloudapi.de |
Azure China | .core.chinacloudapi.cn |
Please note that each National Cloud Deployment also has its own corresponding application registration portal and OAuth endpoints, both of which are completely separate from those used for/by the global Azure Storage services. Applications that wish to work with a specific National Cloud Deployment must use that National Cloud Deployment's app registration portal and OAuth endpoints to register and authenticate in order for the class to successfully communicate using the National Cloud Deployment-specific endpoint. Refer to Microsoft's National Cloud Authentication article for more information.
If this setting is -1 (default), the server's default (5000) is used. Acceptable values are 1 to 5000 (inclusive).
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 class 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 class will behave as if this setting were 0 for the duration of the transfer.
By default, this setting is disabled, and resources are not automatically created with metadata.
If this setting is disabled (default), or if this setting is enabled but there are no Metadata items, then the server will copy the original metadata from the source file to the destination file.

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

HTTP Config Settings
When True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.
The 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 class throws 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 class throws 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 class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/2 is supported on all platforms. The class will use the internal security implementation in all cases when connecting.
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).
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified.
When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.
Override the default with the name and version of your software.
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the class acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
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.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
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.
If set to True, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the class is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
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.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Note: This value must be set after SSLProvider is set.
Example values:

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 class will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the class when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
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.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
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]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
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-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the class throws 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:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)

- "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
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:

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Base Config Settings
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the class does not attempt to process external events.
- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
The Java edition requires installation of the FIPS-certified Bouncy Castle library regardless of the target operating system. This can be downloaded from https://www.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/. Only the "Provider" library is needed. The jar file should then be installed in a JRE search path.
The following classes must be imported in the application in which the component will be used:
import java.security.Security;
import org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider;
The Bouncy Castle provider must be added as a valid provider and must also be configured to operate in FIPS mode:
System.setProperty("org.bouncycastle.fips.approved_only","true");
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleFipsProvider());
When UseFIPSCompliantAPI is true, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-enabled classes can optionally be configured to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Bouncy Castle library. When SSLProvider is set to sslpAutomatic (default) or sslpInternal, an internal TLS implementation is used, but all cryptographic operations are offloaded to the Bouncy Castle FIPS provider to achieve FIPS-compliant operation. If SSLProvider is set to sslpPlatform, the Bouncy Castle JSSE will be used in place of the internal TLS implementation.
To enable the use of the Bouncy Castle JSSE take the following steps in addition to the steps above. Both the Bouncy Castle FIPS provider and the Bouncy Castle JSSE must be configured to use the Bouncy Castle TLS library in FIPS mode. Obtain the Bouncy Castle TLS library from https://www.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/. The jar file should then be installed in a JRE search path.
The following classes must be imported in the application in which the component will be used:
import java.security.Security;
import org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider;
//required to use BCJSSE when SSLProvider is set to sslpPlatform
import org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.BouncyCastleJsseProvider;
The Bouncy Castle provider must be added as a valid provider and also must be configured to operate in FIPS mode:
System.setProperty("org.bouncycastle.fips.approved_only","true");
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleFipsProvider());
//required to use BCJSSE when SSLProvider is set to sslpPlatform
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleJsseProvider("fips:BCFIPS"));
//optional - configure logging level of BCJSSE
Logger.getLogger("org.bouncycastle.jsse").setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.OFF);
//configure the class to use BCJSSE
component.setSSLProvider(1); //platform
component.config("UseFIPSCompliantAPI=true");
Note: TLS 1.3 support requires the Bouncy Castle TLS library version 1.0.14 or later.
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 classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
