AddHeaderParam Method

Adds additional header parameters.

Syntax

• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddHeaderParam(const char* lpszname, const char* lpszvalue, int idataType);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddHeaderParam(LPCWSTR lpszname, LPCWSTR lpszvalue, INT idataType);

- (void)addHeaderParam:(NSString*)name :(NSString*)value :(int)dataType;

Remarks

This method is used to add additional header parameters before calling Encrypt.

The Name and Value parameters define the name and value of the parameter respectively. The DataType parameter specifies the JSON data type of the value. Possible values for DataType are:

• 0 (Object)
• 1 (Array)
• 2 (String)
• 3 (Number)
• 4 (Bool)
• 5 (Null)

{
	"alg": "A256GCMKW",
	"crit": [
		"exp"
	],
	"enc": "A128CBC-HS256",
	"exp": 12345687,
	"iv": "SFZ9o0KKN8qF8yod",
	"tag": "tREHGKuViLo7s3QpRTulkg",
	"type": "JWT"
}

The following code can be used:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe();
jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256GCMKW;
jwe.KeyB = key;
jwe.AddHeaderParam("type", "JWT", 2);
jwe.AddHeaderParam("crit", "[\"exp\"]", 1);
jwe.AddHeaderParam("exp", "12345687", 3);
jwe.InputMessage = "test";
jwe.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Note: When calling Encrypt the class will automatically add headers based on the selected EncryptionAlgorithm and other properties that may be set.

Parameters Automatically Set:

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
