OAuth Control
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The OAuth control is used to authorize a client and provide an authorization string used in future requests.
Syntax
OAuth
Remarks
The OAuth control supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over SSL/TLS the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL related settings are also supported via the Config method.
The OAuth control provides an easy way to obtain an authorization string for future requests to a service. The control implements an OAuth 2.0 client.
To begin using the control, first register your application with the service you want to use. During this process, obtain a ClientId and ClientSecret as well as the ServerAuthURL and ServerTokenURL for the authorization server. Then set ClientProfile to the client profile that best describes your situation and call GetAuthorization.
The following client profiles are currently supported by the control:
- Application (desktop application)
- Web (server-side application, such as a website)
- Device (an application without browser access, such as a game console)
- Mobile (phone or tablet application)
- JWT (server-to-server authentication using a JWT Bearer Token, such as Google service account authentication)
Application Profile
The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.
Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the control will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The control will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the control will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.
Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.
Fourth, the control will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.
The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
The following is a simple example:
component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";
component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization();
HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");
Web Profile
The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.
Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.
Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
Device Profile
The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The control will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.
Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The control will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.
Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.
Mobile Profile
The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the control will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.
JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile
The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.
First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.
Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:
- JWTIssuer (required)
- JWTAudience (required)
- JWTCertStoreType (required)
- JWTCertStore (required)
- JWTCertStorePassword (required)
- JWTCertSubject (required)
- JWTSubject
- JWTValidityTime
- JWTSignatureAlgorithm

AccessToken Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the access token returned by the authorization server.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AccessToken[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property will be populated with the access token returned by the authorization server after a call to GetAuthorization. This will be the raw access token, whereas the return value from the GetAuthorization method will also include the required data so that it can be passed directly to the Authorization property of other components or added as the value of the authorization header in another client implementation.
Data Type
String
AccessTokenExp Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the lifetime of the access token.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AccessTokenExp
Default Value
0
Remarks
This setting holds the lifetime of the access token in seconds. For instance the value 3600 indicates that the token will expire in one hour from the time it was generated.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
Integer
AuthorizationCode Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the authorization code that is exchanged for an access token.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AuthorizationCode[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is used with the AuthorizationCode GrantType. When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication (Application flow), this property will be informational only, as the GetAuthorization method will automatically exchange this code for a token with the authorization server specified in ServerTokenURL.
When ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb (Web flow), this property needs to be set to the authorization code returned from the authorization server. Typically, this value is parsed when the service redirects the user back to your website. See ClientProfile for more information.
If this property is set before calling GetAuthorization, the control will not make a request to the authorization sever and instead will attempt to exchange the code with the authorization server for an access token.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
String
AuthorizationScope Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the scope request or response parameter used during authorization.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AuthorizationScope[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
If the scope is not set, the authorization server will use the default access scope for your application as determined by the server. To request a specific access scope, set this property to a space-separated list of strings as defined by the authorization server.
After calling GetAuthorization, this property will be updated with the scope sent in the response from the server and will indicate the scope that was actually granted.
Data Type
String
ClientId Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the Id of the client assigned when registering the application.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.ClientId[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property holds the Id of the client that was assigned when initially registering the application with the authorization server. This value must be specified before calling GetAuthorization or GetAuthorizationURL.
Data Type
String
ClientProfile Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the type of client that is requesting authorization.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.ClientProfile[=integer]
Possible Values
ocpApplication(0), ocpWeb(1), ocpDevice(2), ocpMobile(3), ocpJWT(4)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This defines the type of client that will be requesting authorization. Set this before calling GetAuthorization to inform the control to act accordingly. Possible values are as follows:
0 (ocpApplication - default) | User application, such as a Windows form application |
1 (ocpWeb) | Server-side application, such as a website |
2 (ocpDevice) | Device application without a browser, such as a game console |
3 (ocpMobile) | Mobile application with browser support, such as a smart phone or tablet |
4 (ocpBrowser) | Client-side browser application, such as JavaScript |
5 (ocpJWT) | Server-to-Server authentication using a JWT Bearer Token |
Application Profile
The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.
Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the control will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The control will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the control will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.
Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.
Fourth, the control will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.
The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
The following is a simple example:
component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";
component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization();
HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");
Web Profile
The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.
Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.
Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
Device Profile
The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The control will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.
Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The control will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.
Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.
Mobile Profile
The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the control will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.
JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile
The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.
First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.
Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:
- JWTIssuer (required)
- JWTAudience (required)
- JWTCertStoreType (required)
- JWTCertStore (required)
- JWTCertStorePassword (required)
- JWTCertSubject (required)
- JWTSubject
- JWTValidityTime
- JWTSignatureAlgorithm

Possible Values
frNever(0), frAlways(1), frSameScheme(2)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the control returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.
If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the control fails with an error.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), 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. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), 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 frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the control fails with an error instead.

GrantType Property (OAuth Control)
This property includes the OAuth grant type used to acquire an OAuth access token.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.GrantType[=integer]
Possible Values
ogtAuthorizationCode(0), ogtImplicit(1), ogtPassword(2), ogtClientCredentials(3), ogtAdminConsent(4)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This setting specifies the type of grant to obtain. In most cases the Authorization Code grant type (default) is used, so it is typically not necessary to change this. The supported values are:
0 (ogtAuthorizationCode - Default) | Authorization Code grant type |
1 (ogtImplicit) | Implicit grant type |
2 (ogtPassword) | Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type |
3 (ogtClientCredentials) | Client Credentials grant type |
4 (ogtAdminConsent) | Admin consent for Microsoft API application scopes |
For all grant types listed set ClientProfile to Application.
The Authorization Code grant is the most commonly used grant type. It follows the flow described for the Application Client Profile section in the OAuth introduction page.
Implicit grants are similar to Authorization Code, except that a Bearer token is returned directly from the authorization server without requiring a second step to exchange a code for a bearer token. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization.The Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type may be used to authenticate on behalf of a resource owner with the owner's credentials. Authentication is performed directly and the user is not prompted to authenticate the application. To use this grant type set:
- PasswordGrantUsername to the username of the resource owner
- ClientSecret to the password of the resource owner
- ClientId optional, set to the client id for the resource
- ServerTokenURL
The Client Credentials grant type is typically used for server-to-server authentication. The client authenticates directly to the authentication server and receives a token without any user interaction. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization.The AdminConsent grant type is used when setting up application permissions for apps that authenticate to Microsoft. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization. The control will then start the embedded web server, fire the LaunchBrowser event, and open the admin consent page URL.If the Admin consents to the scopes, the tenant ID can be accessed through the Microsoft365AdminConsentTenant configuration and is often needed for authenticating a client later (eg. Client Credentials Grant Flow). Once the Admin consents once, they typically will not need to go through the process again unless the scopes of the application change.
If the Admin does not consent to the scopes, the error message can be found in the Microsoft365AdminConsentError configuration setting and the error description can be found in the Microsoft365AdminConsentErrorDesc configuration setting.
Data Type
Integer

Syntax
oauthcontrol.LocalHost[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
The LocalHost 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface.
If the control is connected, the LocalHost 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 multi-homed 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.
Data Type
String
OtherHeaders Property (OAuth Control)

This method adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AddCookie CookieName, CookieValue
Remarks
This property adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers. Please refer to the Cookies property for more information on cookies and how they are managed.
AddParam Method (OAuth Control)
This method adds a name-value pair to the query string parameters of outgoing request.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.AddParam ParamName, ParamValue
Remarks
This method can be used to add query string parameters to the outgoing request. One common use for this method would be to add the state parameter to the request, which can be used when the ClientProfile is ocpWeb to add user-defined data. The authorization server will include the state parameter in the response and will be available in the post back to your server, which will allow you to maintain state in your application.
Config Method (OAuth Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.Config ConfigurationString
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
DoEvents Method (OAuth Control)
Processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.DoEvents
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
GetAuthorization Method (OAuth Control)
This method gets the authorization string required to access the protected resource.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.GetAuthorization
Remarks
This method performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OAuth control for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.
After authorization is completed, this method will return the authorization string, which can be passed directly to the authorization property of any other component. This can also be passed as the value of the HTTP authorization header to other implementations that access the protected resource as well.
The AccessToken property should be cleared before calling this method.
GetAuthorizationURL Method (OAuth Control)
This method builds and returns the URL to which the user should be redirected for authorization.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.GetAuthorizationURL
Remarks
When this method is called, the control will return the URL used for authorization. The control will not make any connections, but instead it will return the URL to you so that you may redirect the user to this location. This is useful when ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb. Before calling this method, set the following:
GetParam Method (OAuth Control)
This method gets a specific parameter from a query string.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.GetParam ParamName
Remarks
This method can be used to get a specific parameter from a query string.
For example, when using the ocpApplication profile, this method can be used in the ReturnURL event to query the parameters that are returned from the authorization server. Then, it can be called after GetAuthorization completes to query the parameters that the token server responded with.
string authorizationString = oauth.GetAuthorization();
string stateValue = oauth.GetParam("state");
Interrupt Method (OAuth Control)
Interrupt the current method.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.Interrupt
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
Reset Method (OAuth Control)
Reset the control.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.Reset
Remarks
This method will reset the control's properties to their default values.
StartWebServer Method (OAuth Control)
This method starts the embedded web server.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.StartWebServer
Remarks
This method starts the embedded web server. This method can be used to manually start the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, this is not needed as the component will automatically start and stop the web server when GetAuthorization is called. You may decide, however, to start the web server manually before calling GetAuthorization. When called, this method will also populate ReturnURL with the address of the embedded server.
StopWebServer Method (OAuth Control)
This method stops the embedded web server.
Syntax
oauthcontrol.StopWebServer
Remarks
This method stops the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, the web server will be stopped automatically during the authorization process when GetAuthorization is called. If ReUseWebServer is set to True, the server will not be automatically stopped, and this method must be called to stop the embedded web server.
Connected Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Connected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".
If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
ConnectionStatus Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_ConnectionStatus(ConnectionEvent As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |

Firewall host disconnected. |
Disconnected Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired when a connection is closed.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Disconnected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".
If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
EndTransfer Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)
Remarks
The EndTransfer event is fired first when the client finishes sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then 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 (OAuth Control)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
Header Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)
Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.
If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
LaunchBrowser Event (OAuth Control)
This event fires before launching a browser with the authorization URL.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_LaunchBrowser(URL As String, Command As String)
Remarks
When the ClientProfile property is set to ocpApplication and GetAuthorization is called, the control will fire this event with the Command, which will be executed by the control. The URL parameter will be the authorization URL that the user will be directed to authenticate.
Within this event, you may override the current value of either Command or URL and provide your own value. If Command is set to an empty string, the control will not attempt to launch the browser and instead you will be responsible for directing the user to the authorization URL specified by the URL parameter.
In Windows, ShellExecute is used to execute Command, which limits the verbs available for use in Command to:
- edit
- explore
- find
- open
Log Event (OAuth Control)
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)
Remarks
This event fires once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
Message is the log entry.
LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:
- "Info"
- "RequestHeaders"
- "ResponseHeaders"
- "RequestBody"
- "ResponseBody"
- "ProxyRequest"
- "ProxyResponse"
- "FirewallRequest"
- "FirewallResponse"
Redirect Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired when a redirection is received from the server.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Redirect(Location As String, Accept As Boolean)
Remarks
This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the control fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.
ReturnURL Event (OAuth Control)
This event fires when the user is redirected to the embedded web server.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_ReturnURL(URLPath As String, QueryString As String, ResponseHeaders As String, ResponseBody As String)
Remarks
When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication and the embedded web server is used (default), this event will fire when the user is redirected from the authorization server back to the local embedded web server. The event provides an opportunity to set the ResponseHeaders and ResponseBody and to provide a custom response that the user will see in their browser.
URLPath and QueryString are informational parameters that show the values sent by the authorization server.
Additionally, the Params* properties will be populated. This allows the GetParam method to be used to get a specific parameter returned from the authorization server when used within this event.
SetCookie Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired for every cookie set by the server.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_SetCookie(Name As String, Value As String, Expires As String, Domain As String, Path As String, Secure As Boolean)
Remarks
The SetCookie event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.
The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.
The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.
The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.
The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.
The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (OAuth Control)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (OAuth Control)
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)
Remarks
The StartTransfer event is fired first when the client starts sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then 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.
Status Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Status(HTTPVersion As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").
StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").
Transfer Event (OAuth Control)
This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
Sub oauthcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
Config Settings (OAuth Control)
The control accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.OAuth Config Settings
Bearer (default) | When the access token returned by the server is a Bearer type, the authorization string returned by GetAuthorization will be in the format "Bearer access_token". This can be supplied as the value of the HTTP authorization header. |
component.Config("FormVarCount=2");
component.Config("FormVarName[0]=myvar");
component.Config("FormVarValue[0]=myvalue");
component.Config("FormVarName[1]=testname");
component.Config("FormVarValue[1]=testvalue");
The value will be URL encoded by the control
If set to True (default), the redirect_uri will be sent in all cases. If set to False, the redirect_uri will be sent only if it has a value.
The JWTCertStoreType field specifies the type of certificate store specified by JWTCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in JWTCertStorePassword.
JWTCertStore is used in conjunction with the JWTCertSubject field to specify the JWT signing certificate.
Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.
The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
ROOT | Root certificates. |
When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).
Note: This is required when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.
Note: This is applicable only when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.
0 | User - This is the default for Windows. This specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note: This store type is not available in Java. |
1 | Machine - For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: This store type is not available in Java. |
2 | PFXFile - The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates. |
3 | PFXBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) format. |
4 | JKSFile - The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note: This store type is available only in Java. |
5 | JKSBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: This store type is available only in Java. |
6 | PEMKeyFile - The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
7 | PEMKeyBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
14 | PPKFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
15 | PPKBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
16 | XMLFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format. |
17 | XMLBlob - The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format. |
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
Note: This is required when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.

XPath Syntax
XPath syntax is available for the payload of JWT based access tokens if available. An XPath is a series of one or more element accessors separated by the / character, for example: /A/B/C/D.
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. |
Description | JSON XPath |
Document root | /json |
Specific element | /json/element_one |
Username Claim (Microsoft Specific) | /json/preferred_username |
Registered Application Name Claim (Microsoft Specific) | /json/app_displayname |
This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but should provide a general idea of the possibilities. To get the text of the specified element, see JWTXText.
The current element is specified in the JWTXPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

When GetAuthorization is called, if Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability are specified, the control will attempt to discover the Office 365 services for which the user has access and find a service that matches the requirements specified in Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability. If a service is found, the control will then obtain authorization to access that service. If authorization is successful, Office365ServiceEndpoint will hold the service endpoint URL to which requests should be made.
Example. OneDrive for Business:
oauth.Config("Office365ServiceCapability=MyFiles");
oauth.Config("Office365ServiceAPIVersion=v2.0");
string authString = oauth.GetAuthorization();
string endpointURL = oauth.Config("Office365ServiceEndpoint");
- 1 (Plain)
- 2 (S256/SHA256 - default)
The default value is "localhost".
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the control adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the control will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the control fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP control can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the control.
The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
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 control fails with an error.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the control fails with an error instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the control will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
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 .
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the control beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. Note: The CodePage setting must be set to a value capable of interpreting the specified host name. For instance, to specify UTF-8, set CodePage to 65001.
When True (default), the control 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 controls 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 controls 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 control returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface.
If the control is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed 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; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in 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 config is set to false.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the control is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the control is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
