SMS Component

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The SMS component provides an easy way to manage short message service (SMS) messages from a variety of service providers.

Syntax

nsoftware.CloudSMS.SMS

Remarks

This component provides a single interface that can be used to work with a variety of services. By supporting multiple providers with a single API code may be written once and used to support multiple services. The following providers are currently supported by this component:

Twilio
Sinch
SMSGlobal
SMS.to
Vonage
Clickatell

The component supports sending, scheduling, deleting, updating, listing, fetching, and more. Note that not all services support all operations. See the Service Provider Specific Notes page for more information.

Selecting a Provider

To specify a service provider simply set the ServiceProvider property. To begin, first create an account and register with the desired service provider(s).

Authentication

Once the account is created, the service provider will provide some form of credentials. Assign the provider account credentials to the corresponding AccountKey and AccountSecret properties. As a note, in some cases, the service provider does not provide or require an account secret.

Sending a Message

The Send method is used to send SMS messages without any delay.

The message details are specified by the MessageFrom, MessageRecipients, and MessageBody properties.

sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890"; sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321"; sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message."; string messageId = sms.Send();

Scheduling a Message

Some service providers allow for messages to be scheduled to send at a particular time. The ScheduleMessage method can be used to delay SMS messages from being sent until the specified time.

The message details are specified by the MessageFrom, MessageRecipients, and MessageBody properties. The scheduled time to send is specified by the MessageDate property.

sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890"; sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321"; sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message."; sms.MessageDate = "2023-04-10T20:02:39Z"; string messageId = sms.ScheduleMessage();

Deleting a Message

Some service providers also support "deleting" messages from the account. The DeleteSentMessage and DeleteReceivedMessage methods delete an SMS message that was sent or received, respectively. The particular manner in which the message is deleted depends on the service provider. See the service provider documentation for more details.

In order to delete a message, the corresponding message ID must be provided to the method.

sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890"; sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321"; sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message."; string id = sms.Send(); // Wait for the message to send before deleting. sms.DeleteSentMessage(id);

Updating a Message

Certain service providers support updating sent messages. The specifics of what values can be updated and when the message is still available to be updated depends on the service provider. The UpdateSentMessage method will update a sent SMS message with the values found in its corresponding Messages collection entry.

Listing Messages

If supported by the service provider, the ListSentMessages and ListReceivedMessages methods list sent and received SMS messages, respectively, present on the authenticated account.

In order to refine which messages are listed, service-specific filters may be supplied. See the service documentation for more information about the parameters that can be added as the filter.

string startTime = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"); sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890"; sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321"; sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message."; sms.Send(); // Wait for the message to send before listing only the above message by supplying multiple filters. sms.ListSentMessages("To=" + sms.MessageRecipients + "&DateSent>=" + startTime); foreach (SMSMessage message in sms.Messages) { if (message.From.Equals("+11234567890")) { // . . . } }

Fetching a Message

In certain cases, it is useful to fetch a specific message. If supported, the RetrieveSentMessage and RetrieveReceivedMessage methods can be used to fetch a specific SMS message that was sent or received, respectively, in the authenticated account.

In order to fetch a message, the corresponding message ID must be supplied.

public async Task AddQueryParam(string name, string value, CancellationToken cancellationToken);

Public Sub AddQueryParam(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Value As String)

Async Version
Public Sub AddQueryParam(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Value As String) As Task
Public Sub AddQueryParam(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Value As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task

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 component automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.

For example, this method can be used to limit how many messages are returned when listing: // The PageSize parameter shown here is a Twilio parameter. sms.AddQueryParam("PageSize", "20"); sms.ListSentMessages(""); // The service now returns 20 messages rather than the default.

Config Method (SMS Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Async Version
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As Task(Of String)
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of String)

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.

Sinch

This method cancels rather than deletes and can also be used on a scheduled message.

DoEvents Method (SMS Component)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public void DoEvents();

Async Version
public async Task DoEvents();
public async Task DoEvents(CancellationToken cancellationToken);

Public Sub DoEvents()

Async Version
Public Sub DoEvents() As Task

public async Task<string> HandleWebhook(string headerString, string queryString, byte[] postData, CancellationToken cancellationToken);

Public Function HandleWebhook(ByVal HeaderString As String, ByVal QueryString As String, ByVal PostData As String) As String

Async Version
Public Function HandleWebhook(ByVal HeaderString As String, ByVal QueryString As String, ByVal PostData As String) As Task(Of String)
Public Function HandleWebhook(ByVal HeaderString As String, ByVal QueryString As String, ByVal PostData As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of String)

Remarks

This method takes the HeaderString, QueryString, and PostData to parse the callback request that was made to a web server. Service providers typically support two types of callback endpoints.

The first callback endpoint, delivery reports, give status updates on sent messages. When the method handles these requests, the component will fire the DeliveryReport event.

The second callback endpoint, incoming messages, will fire a request to the web-hook when a new incoming message arrives. When the method handles these requests, the component will fire the IncomingMessage event.

It is important to note that the component will not handle creating the web server to host the web-hook that is specified. The method is intended to be used as a helper method for interpreting the request made to the web-hook.

Remarks

Note: Only spTwilio and spSinch support updating sent or schedule messages.

This method takes the MessageId of the message that is being updated. To update a message, a message must be present in the Messages collection with a matching MessageId. There are a number of ways to populate messages into the collection. The Send and ScheduleMessage methods will populate the Messages collection using the response from the service provider. The RetrieveSentMessage and ListSentMessages methods can be used to populate already sent messages from the service provider directly. Another option is to create a new entry in the Messages collection and set the MessageId field to the specific MessageId. Once the message is populated in the Messages collection, you can change the fields depending on the value of the ServiceProvider.

Service Provider Specific Notes

Twilio

This method can only be used to redact the message by setting the Body to an empty string or cancel a message by updating the MessageStatus.

The SHA-1 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

ThumbprintSHA256
string (read-only)
Default: ""

The SHA-256 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

Usage
string (read-only)
Default: ""

The text description of UsageFlags.

This value will be one or more of the following strings and will be separated by commas:

Digital Signature
Non-Repudiation
Key Encipherment
Data Encipherment
Key Agreement
Certificate Signing
CRL Signing
Encipher Only

If the provider is OpenSSL, the value is a comma-separated list of X.509 certificate extension names.

UsageFlags
int (read-only)
Default: 0

The flags that show intended use for the certificate. The value of UsageFlags is a combination of the following flags:


0x80	Digital Signature
0x40	Non-Repudiation
0x20	Key Encipherment
0x10	Data Encipherment
0x08	Key Agreement
0x04	Certificate Signing
0x02	CRL Signing
0x01	Encipher Only

Please see the Usage field for a text representation of UsageFlags.

This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

Version
string (read-only)
Default: ""

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

Subject
string
Default: ""

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This field will be populated with the full subject of the loaded certificate. When loading a certificate, the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.

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.

Encoded
string
Default: ""

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject fields also may be used to specify a certificate.

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

EncodedB
byte []
Default: ""

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject fields also may be used to specify a certificate.

Config Settings (SMS 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.

SMS Config Settings

DateFormat: The format to use for date and time.

This setting specifies the date format for the date/time fields (e.g MessageDate). Below are the custom date and time format specifiers that can be used:


yyyy	year
MM	month
dd	day
HH	hours (24 hours)
hh	hours (12 hours)
mm	minutes
ss	seconds
fff	milliseconds

These format specifiers can be written in any combination. For example: SMS.Config("DateFormat=yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss");

SMS.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.

MaxMessageResults: The maximum number of results to return when listing messages.

This setting specifies the maximum number of results that should be returned by calling ListReceivedMessages or ListSentMessages. Uses the service provider's default when this setting is set to 0.


Service Provider	Default
Twilio	50
Sinch	30
SMSGlobal	20
SMS.to	15
Vonage	N/A
Clickatell	N/A

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

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

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

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

SMStoMessageType: The type of message that is sent.

This setting changes the type of message that is used when making the request with the Send and ScheduleMessage. When set to 0 (SMS - Default), the component will send SMS messages like normal. If more than one recipient is specified in the MessageRecipients property, then a new object will be created for each message. If set to 1 (Campaign) then in the case where more than one recipient is specified in the MessageRecipients property, the component will use a single object to represent all the messages. This object will instead contain a list of recipients. If set to 2 (Flash), then the component will instead change the endpoint that is being used to make the request to the flash SMS message endpoint.

Note: In some cases, when the mode is set to 0 (SMS) the SMS.to console may still display the messages as a campaign.

SMStoTimezone: The timezone used by SMS.to when sending or scheduling.

The timezone that will be used by SMS.to when sending or scheduling. The value needs to be the TZ database name for the timezone. The TZ database name must be specified. For example, for the EST/EDT timezone, the TZ database name would be "America/New_York". If you do not provide the timezone parameter, then SMS.to uses the timezone from the account settings. By default, SMS.to is set to use UTC if it has not been changed in the account.

TwilioAccountSid: The account to be used when authenticating with a standard API Key.

This configuration setting should be used when ServiceProvider is set to spTwilio and a "standard" API Key is being used to authenticate. When set, the component uses the AccountSID value found here rather than the value in AccountKey, which is useful when authenticating with a "standard" API Key, as that property is already being used for supplying the API Key.

This setting should not be set when authenticating via the AccountSID + AuthToken approach or when using a "main" API Key.

TwilioAuthType: The type of authentication credentials used when authenticating with Twilio.

This configuration setting should be used when ServiceProvider is set to spTwilio. This setting is used to specify which type of credentials (API Keys or Auth tokens) are being used.

When this setting is set to 0 (default) Auth Tokens will be used. To user Auth tokens, supply the Account SID and Auth token to the component's AccountKey and AccountSecret properties, respectively.

Alternatively, when set to 1, the component will authenticate with API Keys. To use API Keys, supply the API Key and API Key Secret to the component's AccountKey and AccountSecret properties, respectively. Then, supply the AccountSID value corresponding to the account to the TwilioAccountSid configuration setting.

TwilioMessagingServiceSid: The messaging service for Twilio.

This configuration setting should be used when ServiceProvider is set to spTwilio. The setting is used to set the messaging service SID that should be used when sending or scheduling message. This setting must be set before calling ScheduleMessage. This setting may be set before calling Send without setting MessageFrom and then Twilio determines the optimal phone number to send from.

VonageConcat: If the current message is a concat-ted message from Vonage.

To be used inside the IncomingMessage event. If true, the current message is a concat-ted message. Concat-ted messages are messages that are too long to be displayed in a single message. Mapped to the concat parameter. See VonageConcatRef, VonageConcatTotal, and VonageConcatPart for more information.

VonageConcatPart: The number of this part in the message.

The number of the current part. The first part will be 1 and is sequential. Mapped to the concat-part parameter.

VonageConcatRef: The transaction reference. All parts of this message share this concat-ref.

The transaction reference; all parts of this message share the same concat reference. Mapped to the concat-ref parameter.

VonageConcatTotal: The number of parts in this concatenated message.

The number of parts in the concat-ted message. Mapped to the concat-ref parameter.

VonageMessageBodyType: The message body type to use when sending a message with Vonage.

The encoding of the message body that is used when sending a message with the Send method. By default, the component is set to use text (0). The setting can also be changed to use unicode (1).

WebhookURL: The web-hook URL that is set when sending a message.

This setting can be set before calling Send or ScheduleMessage to specify the web-hook URL. Depending on the service provider, this web-hook will be used to inform the service provider where to send delivery reports or replies to send messages.


Service Provider	Delivery Report	Replies
Twilio	Yes	No
Sinch	Yes	Yes
SMSGlobal	Yes	No
SMS.to	Yes	No
Vonage	N/A	N/A
Clickatell	N/A	N/A

Service Provider Specific Notes

Sinch: If WebhookURL is set, delivery_report parameter will be "summary".

Vonage: This is not supported by Vonage.

ClickATell: This is not supported by Clickatell.

HTTP Config Settings

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

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

AllowHTTPCompression: This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

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

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.

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

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

If set to True (default), the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the component throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

AllowNTLMFallback: Whether to allow fallback from Negotiate to NTLM when authenticating.

This configuration setting applies only when AuthScheme is set to Negotiate. If set to True, the component will automatically use New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM) if the server does not support Negotiate authentication. Note: The server must indicate that it supports NTLM authentication through the WWW-Authenticate header for the fallback from Negotiate to NTLM to take place. The default value is False.

Append: Whether to append data to LocalFile.

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

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

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

This property is provided so that the HTTP 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]".

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

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

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

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

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

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

The default value is False.

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

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

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

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

If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the component 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 component throws an exception instead.

Following are the valid options:

0 - Never
1 - Always
2 - Same Scheme

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

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

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

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

HTTPVersion: The version of HTTP used by the component.

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

"1.0"
"1.1" (default)
"2.0"
"3.0"

When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.

HTTP/2 Notes

When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.

If the server does not support HTTP/2, the 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/2 is supported on all versions of Windows. If the Windows version is an earlier version than Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2, the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, the system security libraries will be used by default.

HTTP/3 Notes

HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.

When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.

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

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

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

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

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

The default value for KeepAlive is false.

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

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

LogLevel: The level of detail that is logged.

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


0 (None)	No events are logged.
1 (Info - default)	Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose)	Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug)	Debug data are logged.

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

MaxHeaders: Instructs component to save the amount of headers specified that are returned by the server after a Header event has been fired.

This configuration setting should be set when the TransferredHeaders collection is to be populated when a Header event has been fired. This value represents the number of headers that are to be saved 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.

MaxHTTPCookies: Instructs component to save the amount of cookies specified that are returned by the server when a SetCookie event is fired.

This configuration setting should be set when populating the Cookies collection as a result of an HTTP request. This value represents the number of cookies that are to be saved in the collection.

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

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

NegotiatedHTTPVersion: The negotiated HTTP version.

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

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

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

The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TransferredRequest: The full request as sent by the client.

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

.NET Http http = new Http(); http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.PostData = "body"; http.Post("http://someserver.com"); Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest")); C++ HTTP http; http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.SetPostData("body", 5); http.Post("http://someserver.com"); printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));

UseChunkedEncoding: Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.

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

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

UseIDNs: Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.

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

The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified.

UsePlatformDeflate: Whether to use the platform implementation to decompress compressed responses.

This configuration setting specifies whether the platform's deflate-algorithm implementation is used to decompress responses that use compression. If set to True (default), the platform implementation is used. If set to False, an internal implementation is used.

UsePlatformHTTPClient: Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client.

When using this configuration setting, if True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform (URLConnection in Java, WebRequest in .NET, or CFHTTPMessage in Mac/iOS) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments in which direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (e.g., in the Google AppEngine).

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

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

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.

UserAgent: Information about the user agent (browser).

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

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

TCPClient Config Settings

CloseStreamAfterTransfer: If true, the component will close the upload or download stream after the transfer.

This configuration setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. To keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. The default value is True.

ConnectionTimeout: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the component will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

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

This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost: Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

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

FirewallListener: If true, the component binds to a SOCKS firewall as a server (TCPClient only).

This entry is for TCPClient only and does not work for other components that descend from TCPClient.

If this entry is set, the component 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.

FirewallPassword: Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

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

FirewallPort: The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

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

FirewallType: Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:


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 components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser: A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

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

KeepAliveInterval: The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveTime: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger: When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the 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.

LingerTime: Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

LocalHost: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

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

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the 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).

LocalPort: The port in the local host where the component binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

MaxTransferRate: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList: A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive: Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay: Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

UseIPv6: Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the component will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the component will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the component to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:


0	IPv4 only
1	IPv6 only
2	IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

UseNTLMv2: Whether to use NTLM V2.

When authenticating with NTLM, this setting specifies whether NTLM V2 is used. By default this value is False and NTLM V1 will be used. Set this to True to use NTLM V2.

SSL Config Settings

CACertFilePaths: The paths to CA certificate files when using Mono on Unix/Linux.

This configuration setting specifies the paths on disk to certificate authority (CA) certificate files when using Mono on Unix/Linux. It is not applicable in any other circumstances.

The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The component will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found, the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.

The default value is as follows:

/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem

LogSSLPackets: Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is False, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.

ReuseSSLSession: Determines if the SSL session is reused.

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.

SSLCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to be included when performing an SSL handshake.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included with the SSLCert property. Some servers or clients require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL authentication. The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLCheckCRL: Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the component will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the component will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The component will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the component throws an exception.

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.

SSLCheckOCSP: Whether to use OCSP to check the status of the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the component will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the component will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The component will then locate the issuing certificate and make an HTTP request to the OCSP endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation, the component throws an exception.

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.

SSLCipherStrength: The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength is largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.

SSLClientCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see SSLServerCACerts for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when SSLAuthenticateClients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw

d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLEnabledCipherSuites: The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the 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: obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES"); Possible values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:

TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

SSLEnabledProtocols: Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

This configuration setting is used to enable or disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:


TLS1.3	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.

SSLEnableRenegotiation: Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

This configuration setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This configuration setting is false by default, but it can be set to true to enable the extension.

This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLIncludeCertChain: Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This configuration setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.

If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

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.

SSLKeyLogFile: The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.

This configuration setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the 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.

SSLNegotiatedCipher: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength: Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

SSLNegotiatedVersion: Returns the negotiated protocol version.

This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLSecurityFlags: Flags that control certificate verification.

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be ORed together to exclude multiple conditions:


0x00000001	Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002	Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004	Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010	Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020	Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100	Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200	Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400	Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800	Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000	Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000	Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000	Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name).

This functionality is currently not available in Java or when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLServerCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL server certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see SSLClientCACerts for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

... Root Cert...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms: Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

This configuration setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the 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 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.

TLS12SupportedGroups: The supported groups for ECC.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

TLS13KeyShareGroups: The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional roundtrip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.

Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.

In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448"
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1"
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096"
"ffdhe_6144"
"ffdhe_8192"

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms: The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

"ed25519" (default)
"ed448" (default)
"ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
"ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
"ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha512" (default)

The default value is rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448. This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.

TLS13SupportedGroups: The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This configuration setting should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448" (default)
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096" (default)
"ffdhe_6144" (default)
"ffdhe_8192" (default)

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method that does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

FirewallData: Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component 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

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

GUIAvailable: Whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

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 component does not attempt to process external events.

LicenseInfo: Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

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.

MaskSensitiveData: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. In this case, calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments, this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation, set this setting to true.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.

When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
