An easy-to-use CoAP client and server implementation.
Syntax
ipworksiot::CoAP
Remarks
The CoAP struct provides a lightweight, fully-featured CoAP client and server implementation with DTLS support.
Using the Struct in Client Mode
While in client mode (i.e., the listening property is disabled; its default setting), the struct can be used to send requests to a CoAP server. It can also be used to register as an observer for various server-side resources, causing the server to send notifications anytime said resources change.
By default, the component operates in NoSec mode as defined by RFC 7252. Certificate mode DTLS can be enabled by setting ssl_enabled to True. UseRawPublicKey can be used to enable Raw Public Key mode.
When DTLS is enabled, relevant handshake details will be reported by the on_ssl_status event. Initially, the server will present its certificate to the client. The certificate is validated by the system and the status is provided within the on_ssl_server_authentication event. If the Accept parameter of the on_ssl_server_authentication event is false, the Status parameter will tell you why. You can then set the Accept parameter to true to manually force acceptance of the server certificate.
In some cases, the server requires the client to present a certificate as well. In this case, a valid certificate will need to be specified via the ssl_cert property. This process may look like the following:
coapclient.OnSSLServerAuthentication += (o, e) => {
if (e.Accept) return;
Console.Write("Server provided the following certificate:\nIssuer: " + e.CertIssuer + "\nSubject: " + e.CertSubject + "\n");
Console.Write("The following problems have been determined for this certificate: " + e.Status + "\n");
Console.Write("Would you like to accept anyways? [y/n] ");
if (Console.Read() == 'y') e.Accept = true;
};
coapclient.SSLEnabled = true;
coapclient.RemoteHost = "remote_ip";
coapclient.RemotePort = 1234;
coapclient.Timeout = 30;
// if client authentication is applicable
coapclient.SSLCert = new Certificate("/path/to/cert.pfx", CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "cert_password", "cert_subject");
To send a request, populate the request_data, request_content_format, request_e_tag, and request_options properties (if necessary, and as applicable), then call one of the following methods:
The methods above require a URI as a parameter. The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
Once a response is received, the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties will be populated, and the on_request_complete event will fire. (If the request times out, the properties are not populated, but the event still fires.)
coap.OnRequestComplete += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Request complete!");
Console.WriteLine(coap.ResponseCode);
};
// Make a GET request to download a picture.
coap.Get("coap://mycoapserver/pictures/animals/cats4.dat?format=png");
// Imaginary function which accepts PNG image data and displays the picture to the user.
showPicture(coap.ResponseDataB);
To observe a resource, call the start_observing method. Assuming the server accepts the observer registration request, it will begin sending notifications for the resource anytime it changes. Each change notification will cause the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties to be populated, and the on_notification event to fire.
To stop observing a resource, either call stop_observing with the same URI value used to call start_observing, or set the on_notification event's StopObserving parameter to True.
coap.OnNotification += (s, e) => {
// Notifications can arrive out of order; only print to the log if this is the latest one we've received.
if (e.IsLatest) {
Console.WriteLine("Received notification for the resource at: " + e.URI);
Console.WriteLine("New Value: " + coap.ResponseData);
}
}
// Start observing a temperature sensor's data. Assume temperature values are sent back in text format.
coap.StartObserving("coap://mycoapserver/home/living_room/sensors/temperature?unit=fahrenheit");
// Assume the server accepts the request and starts sending notifications every so often.
// ...
// Later, stop observing the resource.
coap.StopObserving("coap://mycoapserver/home/living_room/sensors/temperature?unit=fahrenheit");
Using the Struct in Server Mode
To operate in server mode, set the local_port to the port the struct should listen on (typically 5683, the standard CoAP port), then enable the listening property. Each time a request arrives, the request_data, request_content_format, request_e_tag, and request_options properties will be populated, and the on_request event will fire.
By default, the component operates in NoSec mode as defined by RFC 7252. Certificate mode DTLS can be enabled by setting ssl_enabled to True. UseRawPublicKey can be used to enable Raw Public Key mode.
When DTLS is enabled, a valid certificate must be selected before the server can start listening for incoming connections. The certificate can be specified via the ssl_cert property. Note the certificate must contain a private key.
After doing so, calling start_listening will cause the struct to start listening for incoming connections. The struct will listen on the interface defined by local_host and local_port, if specified. Otherwise, these values will be set by the struct. If applicable, these values must be set before calling start_listening. For example:
//coapserver.LocalHost = "some_ip_address";
//coapserver.LocalPort = 1234;
coapserver.SSLCert = new Certificate("/path/to/cert.pfx", CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "cert_password", "cert_subject");
coapserver.StartListening();
Console.WriteLine("Listening on: " + coapserver.LocalHost + ":" + coapserver.LocalPort);
while (coapserver.Listening) {
coapserver.DoEvents();
}
A response can be sent by populating the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties as desired before the event finishes. Alternatively, the on_request event's SendResponse parameter can be set to False in order to send a response back later. In this case, the RequestId value from the event should be used to call the send_response method later.
coap.OnRequest += (s, e) => {
// For the purpose of this snippet, assume we only service GET requests, which have a method code of 1.
if (e.Method == 1) {
Console.WriteLine("GET request received for URI path: " + e.URIPath + " and URI query params: " + e.URIQuery);
coap.ResponseCode = "2.05"; // "Content".
// Imaginary methods that look up the data and content format of the resource based on the URI path and URI query parameters.
coap.ResponseData = lookupResourceData(e.URIPath, e.URIQuery);
coap.ResponseContentFormat = lookupResourceContentFormat(e.URIPath, e.URIQuery);
} else {
coap.ResponseCode = "4.05"; // "Method Not Allowed".
coap.ResponseData = "Only GET requests are allowed."; // Include a diagnostic payload.
coap.ResponseContentFormat = "";
}
// Alternatively, this event could simply save the e.RequestId value somewhere, then some other code could fill in the Response*
// properties and call the SendResponse() method later.
};
coap.OnResponseComplete += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Response sent for request with Id " + e.RequestId);
};
In server mode, the struct can also support resource observation. When a client attempts to register itself as an observer of a resource, the on_register event will fire; setting this event's Accept parameter to True will cause the struct to accept the registration.
To notify clients that a resource has changed, populate the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties as desired, and then call the send_notification method, passing it the URI of a resource that has registered observers.
When a client has unregistered from further change notifications, the on_unregistered event will fire.
coap.OnRegister += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Client " + e.RemoteHost + ":" + e.RemotePort + " has registered for notifications for the URI " + e.URI);
// Imaginary method that helps ensure the application keeps track of observed URIs. The struct itself maintains the
// list of observers for each URI, so the application just needs to know that there are observers in the first place.
observerRegisteredForURI(e.URI);
e.Accept = true;
};
coap.OnUnregistered += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Client " + e.RemoteHost + ":" + e.RemotePort + " has unregistered from notifications for the URI " + e.URI);
// As above, imaginary method that helps ensure the application keeps track of observed URIs.
observerUnregisteredForURI(e.URI);
};
// Somewhere else in the application, this sort of code might get called after a resource changes to inform any observers of
// the change. We use another imaginary method here to check if the changed resource is observed, and to get its information.
if (isResourceObserved()) {
coap.ResponseCode = "2.05"; // "Content".
coap.ResponseDataB = getResourceContent();
coap.ResponseContentFormat = getResourceContentFormat();
coap.SendNotification(getResourceURI());
}
Object Lifetime
The new() method returns a mutable reference to a struct instance. The object itself is kept in the global list maintained by IPWorksIoT. Due to this, the CoAP struct cannot be disposed of automatically. Please, call the dispose(&mut self) method of CoAP when you have finished using the instance.

listening property (CoAP Struct)
Whether the struct should operate in server mode by listening for incoming requests.
Syntax
fn listening(&self ) -> Result<bool, IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property indicates whether the struct operates in server mode or client mode.
When this property is false (default), the struct operate in client mode, allowing applications to send requests using the get, post, send_custom_request, etc. methods.
When this property is true, the struct listens on local_port for incoming CoAP requests, firing the on_request event anytime one arrives. Applications can service these requests directly during on_request events, or send separate responses later using the send_response method.
Applications that wish to use the struct in server mode should set the local_port property to the desired listening port (such as 5683, the standard CoAP port) before calling start_listening. Otherwise the system will choose a port at random.
Use the start_listening and stop_listening methods to control whether the struct is listening.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
bool
local_host property (CoAP Struct)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
fn local_host(&self ) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
fn set_local_host(&self, value : &str) -> Option<IPWorksIoTError> fn set_local_host_ref(&self, value : &String) -> Option<IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the struct initiate connections (or accept in the case of server structs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the struct is connected, the local_host property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
NOTE: local_host is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
Data Type
String
local_port property (CoAP Struct)
This property includes the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port in the local host where UDP binds.
Syntax
fn local_port(&self ) -> Result<i32, IPWorksIoTError>
fn set_local_port(&self, value : i32) -> Option<IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
0
Remarks
The local_port property must be set before UDP is activated (active is set to True). This instructs the struct to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.
Setting it to 0 (default) enables the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by the local_port property after the connection is established.
local_port cannot be changed once the struct is active. Any attempt to set the local_port property when the struct is active will generate an error.
The local_port property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.
Data Type
i32
pending_request_count property (CoAP Struct)
The number of records in the PendingRequest arrays.
Syntax
fn pending_request_count(&self ) -> Result<i32, IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property controls the size of the following arrays:
- pending_request_id
- pending_request_method
- pending_request_remote_host
- pending_request_remote_port
- pending_request_token
- pending_request_uri
This property is read-only.
Data Type
i32
pending_request_method property (CoAP Struct)
The request's method.
Syntax
fn pending_request_method(&self , PendingRequestIndex : i32) -> Result<i32, IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
0
Remarks
The request's method.
This property reflects the request's method code, which must be a value in the range 0 to 31. The following table provides a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the more common method codes; refer to the IANA's CoAP Method Codes registry for a full list.
| Method Code | Name |
| 1 | GET |
| 2 | POST |
| 3 | PUT |
| 4 | DELETE |
| 5 | FETCH |
| 6 | PATCH |
The PendingRequestIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PendingRequestCount property.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
i32
pending_request_remote_host property (CoAP Struct)
The remote host associated with the request.
Syntax
fn pending_request_remote_host(&self , PendingRequestIndex : i32) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
""
Remarks

If the key is found, ssl_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
Vec
timeout property (CoAP Struct)
A timeout for the struct.
Syntax
fn timeout(&self ) -> Result<i32, IPWorksIoTError>
fn set_timeout(&self, value : i32) -> Option<IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
60
Remarks
This property specifies the number of seconds that the struct should wait, synchronously, for a response to be received. A value of 0 means that the struct will send the request data (when operating in client mode) or the response data (when operating in server mode) asynchronously, and then wait indefinitely, firing the applicable event once complete.
The struct will use do_events to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, ensuring that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.
If timeout expires, and the response has not yet been received, the struct throws an exception.
Data Type
i32
use_confirmable_messages property (CoAP Struct)
Whether to use confirmable message.
Syntax
fn use_confirmable_messages(&self ) -> Result<bool, IPWorksIoTError>
fn set_use_confirmable_messages(&self, value : bool) -> Option<IPWorksIoTError>
Default Value
true
Remarks
This property specifies whether the struct should send requests (if operating in client mode; i.e., when the listening property is disabled) or responses (if operating in server mode; i.e., when the listening property is enabled) using confirmable messages instead of unconfirmable messages.
Using confirmable messages increases reliability, since the struct will automatically retransmit a message until it receives a confirmation from the remote host that the message was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the retransmission process.
Using non-confirmable messages reduces the amount of network traffic, but at the cost of reliability, since the struct has no way to know whether a given message was received by the remote host, or lost in transit.
Data Type
bool
cancel_request method (CoAP Struct)
Cancels a pending request.
Syntax
fn cancel_request(&self, request_id : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method cancels the request in the pending_requests properties identified by RequestId.
When the struct is operating in client mode, the requests in the pending_requests properties represent outgoing requests for which responses have not yet been received. Canceling one will cause the on_request_complete event to fire with an appropriate ErrorCode and ErrorDescription.
When the struct is operating in server mode, the requests in the pending_requests properties represent incoming requests for which responses have not yet been sent. Canceling one will cause the on_response_complete event to fire with an appropriate ErrorCode and ErrorDescription.
config method (CoAP Struct)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
fn config(&self, configuration_string : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
config is a generic method available in every struct. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the struct.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, 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.
delete method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a DELETE request to the server.
Syntax
fn delete(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends the server a DELETE request for the resource identified by URI. If the request_e_tag property is non-empty, its value will be used to include an Etag option in the request. Any additional options present in the request_options properties will be included as well.
The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the request message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the server that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the request.
If the timeout property is greater than 0, this method will block until either a response is received, the specified timeout interval elapses, or (if use_confirmable_messages is enabled) the retransmission period elapses; whichever occurs first. It will then return empty string.
If the timeout property is 0, a record of the request will be added to the pending_requests properties, and this method will finish immediately, returning an Id for the request. Passing this Id to the cancel_request method will cancel the request (assuming it is still pending at that time).
Once a response is received, or the request times out, the struct will do the following:
- Populate the Response* properties (unless the request timed out).
- Remove the request record from the pending_requests properties, if necessary.
- Fire the on_request_complete event.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
do_events method (CoAP Struct)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
fn do_events(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
When do_events is called, the struct processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
get method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a GET request to the server.
Syntax
fn get(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends the server a GET request for the resource identified by URI. If the request_e_tag property is non-empty, its value will be used to include an Etag option in the request. Any additional options present in the request_options properties will be included as well.
The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the request message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the server that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the request.
If the timeout property is greater than 0, this method will block until either a response is received, the specified timeout interval elapses, or (if use_confirmable_messages is enabled) the retransmission period elapses; whichever occurs first. It will then return empty string.
If the timeout property is 0, a record of the request will be added to the pending_requests properties, and this method will finish immediately, returning an Id for the request. Passing this Id to the cancel_request method will cancel the request (assuming it is still pending at that time).
Once a response is received, or the request times out, the struct will do the following:
- Populate the Response* properties (unless the request timed out).
- Remove the request record from the pending_requests properties, if necessary.
- Fire the on_request_complete event.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
post method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a POST request to the server.
Syntax
fn post(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends the server a POST request for the resource identified by URI. The request_data property specifies the data that will be sent in the request. If the request_content_format and/or request_e_tag properties are non-empty, their values will be used to include Content-Format and Etag options in the request (respectively). Any additional options present in the request_options properties will be included as well.
The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the request message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the server that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the request.
If the timeout property is greater than 0, this method will block until either a response is received, the specified timeout interval elapses, or (if use_confirmable_messages is enabled) the retransmission period elapses; whichever occurs first. It will then return empty string.
If the timeout property is 0, a record of the request will be added to the pending_requests properties, and this method will finish immediately, returning an Id for the request. Passing this Id to the cancel_request method will cancel the request (assuming it is still pending at that time).
Once a response is received, or the request times out, the struct will do the following:
- Populate the Response* properties (unless the request timed out).
- Remove the request record from the pending_requests properties, if necessary.
- Fire the on_request_complete event.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
put method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a PUT request to the server.
Syntax
fn put(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends the server a PUT request for the resource identified by URI. The request_data property specifies the data that will be sent in the request. If the request_content_format and/or request_e_tag properties are non-empty, their values will be used to include Content-Format and Etag options in the request (respectively). Any additional options present in the request_options properties will be included as well.
The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the request message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the server that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the request.
If the timeout property is greater than 0, this method will block until either a response is received, the specified timeout interval elapses, or (if use_confirmable_messages is enabled) the retransmission period elapses; whichever occurs first. It will then return empty string.
If the timeout property is 0, a record of the request will be added to the pending_requests properties, and this method will finish immediately, returning an Id for the request. Passing this Id to the cancel_request method will cancel the request (assuming it is still pending at that time).
Once a response is received, or the request times out, the struct will do the following:
- Populate the Response* properties (unless the request timed out).
- Remove the request record from the pending_requests properties, if necessary.
- Fire the on_request_complete event.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
reset method (CoAP Struct)
This method will reset the struct.
Syntax
fn reset(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method will reset the struct's properties to their default values.
send_custom_request method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a custom request to the server.
Syntax
fn send_custom_request(&self, uri : &str, method : i32) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends the server a custom request for the resource identified by URI. The Method parameter specifies the request's method code. The following table provides a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the more common method codes; refer to the IANA's CoAP Method Codes registry for a full list.
| Method Code | Name |
| 1 | GET |
| 2 | POST |
| 3 | PUT |
| 4 | DELETE |
| 5 | FETCH |
| 6 | PATCH |
The request_data property specifies the data that will be sent in the request. If the request_content_format and/or request_e_tag properties are non-empty, their values will be used to include Content-Format and Etag options in the request (respectively). Any additional options present in the request_options properties will be included as well.
The format of the URI parameter is coap://hostname:port/resource. The port is optional, and if not specified will default to 5683. For instance coap://myserver/test and coap://myserver:5683/test are equivalent.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the request message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the server that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the request.
If the timeout property is greater than 0, this method will block until either a response is received, the specified timeout interval elapses, or (if use_confirmable_messages is enabled) the retransmission period elapses; whichever occurs first. It will then return empty string.
If the timeout property is 0, a record of the request will be added to the pending_requests properties, and this method will finish immediately, returning an Id for the request. Passing this Id to the cancel_request method will cancel the request (assuming it is still pending at that time).
Once a response is received, or the request times out, the struct will do the following:
- Populate the Response* properties (unless the request timed out).
- Remove the request record from the pending_requests properties, if necessary.
- Fire the on_request_complete event.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
send_notification method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a notification to all clients observing a given resource.
Syntax
fn send_notification(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends a notification to all clients observing the resource identified by URI, notifying them of its latest state. Clients should be notified whenever a resource's content changes (or periodically, if it changes very often) by sending a 2.xx response code; typically 2.03 "Valid" or 2.05 "Content". Clients should also be notified if a resource can no longer be observed (e.g., when it is deleted) by sending a notification with a non-2.xx response code (e.g., 4.04 "Not Found"). The struct will automatically unregister all observers when a non-2.xx notification is sent.
The response_data property specifies the data that will be sent in the response, and the response_code property specifies the response code. If the response_content_format and/or response_e_tag properties are non-empty, their values will be used to include Content-Format and Etag options in the response (respectively). Any additional options present in the response_options properties will be included as well.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the response message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the client that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the response.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
send_response method (CoAP Struct)
Sends a response for a given pending request to the corresponding client.
Syntax
fn send_response(&self, request_id : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method sends a response for the request in the pending_requests properties identified by RequestId. The response_data property specifies the data that will be sent in the response, and the response_code property specifies the response code. If the response_content_format and/or response_e_tag properties are non-empty, their values will be used to include Content-Format and Etag options in the response (respectively). Any additional options present in the response_options properties will be included as well.
If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled when this method is called, the struct will automatically retransmit the response message (if necessary) until it receives confirmation from the client that it was received. Note that the retransmission period is not infinite; eventually the struct will assume that the message is undeliverable and time out the response. The on_response_complete event will fire once the message receipt is confirmed (or once the retransmission period elapses).
If the use_confirmable_messages property is disabled, the on_response_complete event will fire immediately instead, since there is no way to know whether the client received the response.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
start_listening method (CoAP Struct)
This method starts listening for incoming connections.
Syntax
fn start_listening(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method begins listening for incoming connections on the port specified by local_port. Once listening, events will fire as new clients connect and data are transferred.
To stop listening for new connections, call stop_listening. To stop listening for new connections and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown.

To stop listening for new connections, call stop_listening. To stop listening for new connections and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown.
start_observing method (CoAP Struct)
Registers the struct as an observer for a given resource.
Syntax
fn start_observing(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method registers the struct as an observer for the resource identified by URI. If the server accepts the registration, then it will periodically notify the struct about any changes to the specified resource. These "change notifications" are exposed via the on_notification event.
This method operates in the exact same manner as the get method, with the exception of the two things listed below. Refer to the get method's documentation for more information.
- When constructing the request, the struct automatically includes an Observe option. The presence of this option is what indicates to the server that the struct wishes to register itself as an observer for the specified resource.
- When the server receives the request, its response causes the on_notification event to fire instead of the on_request_complete event. (Unless it decides to reject the registration, in which case it will handle the request just like a normal GET request, and the on_request_complete event will fire when its response is received, just like it would if get had been called.)
Once the struct has successfully registered itself as an observer, the server will continue to deliver change notifications for the specified resource until the struct unregisters, or the resource can no longer be observed (e.g., if it is deleted). To unregister, either call the stop_observing method with the same URI value, or set the on_notification event's StopObserving parameter to True.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
stop_listening method (CoAP Struct)
This method stops listening for new connections.
Syntax
fn stop_listening(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method stops listening for new connections. After being called, any new connection attempts will be rejected. Calling this method does not disconnect existing connections.
To stop listening and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown instead.

To stop listening and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown instead.
stop_observing method (CoAP Struct)
Unregisters the struct as an observer for a given resource.
Syntax
fn stop_observing(&self, uri : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>
Remarks
This method unregisters the struct as an observer for the resource identified by URI. This method operates in the exact same manner as the get method, with the exception of the two things below; refer to the get method's documentation for more information:
- When constructing the request, the struct automatically includes an Observe option with a value of 1. The presence of this option indicates to the server that the struct wishes to unregister from further change notifications.
- This method, unlike get, does not return a request Id.
Note: This method can only be called when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
on_error event (CoAP Struct)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
// CoAPErrorEventArgs carries the CoAP Error event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPErrorEventArgs {
fn error_code(&self) -> i32
fn description(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPErrorEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Error event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPErrorEvent {
fn on_error(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPErrorEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_error(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPErrorEvent;
pub fn set_on_error(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPErrorEvent);
...
}
Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the struct fails with an error.
The error_code 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.
on_log event (CoAP Struct)
Fires once for each log message.
Syntax
// CoAPLogEventArgs carries the CoAP Log event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPLogEventArgs {
fn log_level(&self) -> i32
fn message(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPLogEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Log event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPLogEvent {
fn on_log(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPLogEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_log(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPLogEvent;
pub fn set_on_log(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPLogEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires once for each log message generated by the struct. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of the Message. Possible values are:
| 0 (None) | No events are logged. |
| 1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
| 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
| 3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |
on_notification event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a notification is received from the server.
Syntax
// CoAPNotificationEventArgs carries the CoAP Notification event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPNotificationEventArgs {
fn uri(&self) -> &String
fn is_latest(&self) -> bool
fn stop_observing(&self) -> bool
fn set_stop_observing(&self, value : bool)
}
// CoAPNotificationEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Notification event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPNotificationEvent {
fn on_notification(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPNotificationEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_notification(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPNotificationEvent;
pub fn set_on_notification(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPNotificationEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires when the struct receives a notification from that server that some observed resource has changed. Query the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties to obtain the new resource information.
Note that, in some cases, the server may no longer be able to deliver notifications for a resource (e.g., if it is deleted). In such cases, the response_code property will be populated with a non-2.xx code (e.g., 4.04 "Not Found") to indicate why the resource can no longer be observed. No further notifications will be delivered for the resource after such a notification arrives.
The URI parameter identifies the resource that has changed.
The IsLatest parameter reflects whether this notification actually has the most recent resource information available, since it is possible for notifications to arrive out of order under certain circumstances.
The StopObserving parameter specifies whether the struct should stop observing the resource identified by URI. This parameter is False by default, set it to True to have the struct unregister itself from further notifications. (Note: in the event of a non-2.xx notification, this parameter will be True by default instead, and changing it to False will have no effect.)
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
on_register event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a client wishes to register for notifications.
Syntax
// CoAPRegisterEventArgs carries the CoAP Register event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPRegisterEventArgs {
fn remote_host(&self) -> &String
fn remote_port(&self) -> i32
fn uri(&self) -> &String
fn uri_host(&self) -> &String
fn uri_port(&self) -> i32
fn uri_path(&self) -> &String
fn uri_query(&self) -> &String
fn token(&self) -> &[u8]
fn accept(&self) -> bool
fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}
// CoAPRegisterEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Register event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPRegisterEvent {
fn on_register(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPRegisterEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_register(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPRegisterEvent;
pub fn set_on_register(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPRegisterEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires anytime a client wishes to register itself as an observer for the resource identified by URI. Refer to the start_observing and send_notification methods, as well as the on_notification event, for more information about observing resources and resource change notifications.
Any options included in the request can be obtained by querying the request_options properties.
To correctly handle this event, populate the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties as desired before this event finishes. (This must be done regardless of the Accept parameter's final value; see below for more information on why).
The RemoteHost parameter reflects the client's IP address or hostname.
The RemotePort parameter reflects the client's port.
The URI parameter reflects the exact resource URI that the client wishes to observe (the CoAP specification states that the full URI must be used to track observers). This value must be passed exactly as-is to the send_notification method to notify observers of changes to the resource.
The URIHost, URIPort, URIPath, and URIQuery parameters are provided for additional convenience
The Token parameter reflects the token included in the registration request.
The Accept parameter specifies whether the struct should accept the registration. By default, it is False, and the request will be treated like a normal GET request. Setting it to True will cause the struct to add the client to its internal list of registered observers for the specified URI.
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
on_request event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a request is received from a client.
Syntax
// CoAPRequestEventArgs carries the CoAP Request event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPRequestEventArgs {
fn remote_host(&self) -> &String
fn remote_port(&self) -> i32
fn method(&self) -> i32
fn uri_host(&self) -> &String
fn uri_port(&self) -> i32
fn uri_path(&self) -> &String
fn uri_query(&self) -> &String
fn token(&self) -> &[u8]
fn request_id(&self) -> &String
fn send_response(&self) -> bool
fn set_send_response(&self, value : bool)
}
// CoAPRequestEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Request event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPRequestEvent {
fn on_request(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPRequestEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_request(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPRequestEvent;
pub fn set_on_request(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPRequestEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires anytime a request is received from a client. Information about the request is exposed both via this event's parameters and the following properties: request_data, request_content_format, request_e_tag, and request_options.
A response can either be sent back to the client immediately when the event finishes, or later using the send_response method. Refer to the RequestId and SendResponse parameters' documentation, below, for more information. If a response is to be sent back immediately, populate the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties as desired before this event finishes.
The RemoteHost parameter reflects the client's IP address or hostname.
The RemotePort parameter reflects the client's port.
The Method parameter reflects the request method code. The following table provides a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the more common method codes; refer to the IANA's CoAP Method Codes registry for a full list.
| Method Code | Name |
| 1 | GET |
| 2 | POST |
| 3 | PUT |
| 4 | DELETE |
| 5 | FETCH |
| 6 | PATCH |
The URIHost, URIPort, URIPath, and URIQuery parameters, when taken together, identify the resource that the client is making a request against. This event exposes the URI in pieces for convenience.
The Token parameter reflects the token included in the request.
The RequestId parameter reflects the struct-generated Id for the request. If the final value of the SendResponse parameter is False, this Id can be passed to the send_response method later to send a response. (Alternatively, it can be passed to the cancel_request later to ignore the request.)
The SendResponse parameter specifies whether the struct should send a response back to the client immediately; it is True by default. Set it to False to send the response later instead.
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
on_request_complete event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a request completes.
Syntax
// CoAPRequestCompleteEventArgs carries the CoAP RequestComplete event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPRequestCompleteEventArgs {
fn method(&self) -> i32
fn uri(&self) -> &String
fn request_id(&self) -> &String
fn error_code(&self) -> i32
fn error_description(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPRequestCompleteEvent defines the signature of the CoAP RequestComplete event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPRequestCompleteEvent {
fn on_request_complete(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPRequestCompleteEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_request_complete(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPRequestCompleteEvent;
pub fn set_on_request_complete(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPRequestCompleteEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires when a request completes. Usually, a request is considered complete when a response has been received. However, requests can also be considered "complete" if either of the following occurs:
- If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled, and the struct did not receive confirmation that the request was received before the retransmission period elapsed.
- If timeout property is greater than 0, and the struct did not receive a response before the timeout period elapsed.
Assuming a response was received (i.e., the ErrorCode parameter is either 0 or 709; see below), then the response code, payload, and options can be obtained by querying the response_code, response_data, response_content_format, response_e_tag, and response_options properties.
The Method parameter reflects the request method code. The following table provides a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the more common method codes; refer to the IANA's CoAP Method Codes registry for a full list.
| Method Code | Name |
| 1 | GET |
| 2 | POST |
| 3 | PUT |
| 4 | DELETE |
| 5 | FETCH |
| 6 | PATCH |
The URI parameter reflects the requested resource's URI.
The ErrorCode parameter indicates whether the request encountered an error. If no error was encountered, it will be 0; if the server returned a non-2.xx response code, it will be 709; if some other error occurred (e.g., the request timed out), it will be another non-zero value.
The ErrorDescription parameter provides a description of the error that occurred (or, if ErrorCode is 709, a string version of the response code returned by the server). It will be empty if no error was encountered.
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in client mode (i.e., when the listening property is disabled).
on_response_complete event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a response has been sent to a client.
Syntax
// CoAPResponseCompleteEventArgs carries the CoAP ResponseComplete event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPResponseCompleteEventArgs {
fn request_id(&self) -> &String
fn error_code(&self) -> i32
fn error_description(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPResponseCompleteEvent defines the signature of the CoAP ResponseComplete event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPResponseCompleteEvent {
fn on_response_complete(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPResponseCompleteEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_response_complete(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPResponseCompleteEvent;
pub fn set_on_response_complete(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPResponseCompleteEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires anytime a response has been sent to a client. If the use_confirmable_messages property is enabled, then the response is considered complete once the client has confirmed that it received the response (or once the retransmission period elapses). If the use_confirmable_messages property is disabled, the response is considered complete immediately (since there is no way to know if the client received it).
The RequestId parameter reflects the struct-generated Id of the request for which the response was sent.
The ErrorCode parameter indicates whether the response encountered an error (e.g., transmission timed out). If no error was encountered, it will be 0.
The ErrorDescription parameter provides a description of the error that occurred. It will be empty if no error was encountered.
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
on_ssl_client_authentication event (CoAP Struct)
This event is fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.
Syntax
// CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs carries the CoAP SSLClientAuthentication event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs {
fn connection_id(&self) -> i32
fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
fn status(&self) -> &String
fn accept(&self) -> bool
fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}
// CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEvent defines the signature of the CoAP SSLClientAuthentication event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEvent {
fn on_ssl_client_authentication(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_ssl_client_authentication(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEvent;
pub fn set_on_ssl_client_authentication(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPSSLClientAuthenticationEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event enables the server to decide whether or not to continue. The accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or to 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").
on_ssl_server_authentication event (CoAP Struct)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
// CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs carries the CoAP SSLServerAuthentication event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs {
fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
fn status(&self) -> &String
fn accept(&self) -> bool
fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}
// CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent defines the signature of the CoAP SSLServerAuthentication event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent {
fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent;
pub fn set_on_ssl_server_authentication(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent);
...
}
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.
on_ssl_status event (CoAP Struct)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
// CoAPSSLStatusEventArgs carries the CoAP SSLStatus event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPSSLStatusEventArgs {
fn message(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPSSLStatusEvent defines the signature of the CoAP SSLStatus event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPSSLStatusEvent {
fn on_ssl_status(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPSSLStatusEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_ssl_status(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPSSLStatusEvent;
pub fn set_on_ssl_status(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPSSLStatusEvent);
...
}
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
on_unregistered event (CoAP Struct)
Fires when a client has unregistered from notifications.
Syntax
// CoAPUnregisteredEventArgs carries the CoAP Unregistered event's parameters.
pub struct CoAPUnregisteredEventArgs {
fn remote_host(&self) -> &String
fn remote_port(&self) -> i32
fn uri(&self) -> &String
fn uri_host(&self) -> &String
fn uri_port(&self) -> i32
fn uri_path(&self) -> &String
fn uri_query(&self) -> &String
}
// CoAPUnregisteredEvent defines the signature of the CoAP Unregistered event's handler function.
pub trait CoAPUnregisteredEvent {
fn on_unregistered(&self, sender : CoAP, e : &mut CoAPUnregisteredEventArgs);
}
impl <'a> CoAP<'a> {
pub fn on_unregistered(&self) -> &'a dyn CoAPUnregisteredEvent;
pub fn set_on_unregistered(&mut self, value : &'a dyn CoAPUnregisteredEvent);
...
}
Remarks
This event fires anytime a client has unregistered itself from further notifications for the resource identified by URI. Refer to the start_observing and send_notification methods, as well as the on_notification and on_register events, for more information about observing resources and resource change notifications.
The RemoteHost parameter reflects the client's IP address or hostname.
The RemotePort parameter reflects the client's port.
The URI parameter identifies the resource that the client has stopped observing.
The URIHost, URIPort, URIPath, and URIQuery parameters are provided for additional convenience
Note: This event is only used when the struct is operating in server mode (i.e., when the listening property is enabled).
Config Settings (CoAP Struct)
The struct 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 struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.CoAP Config Settings
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the on_ssl_status event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if ssl_provider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the struct 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 struct is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the struct. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the struct will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
NOTE: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the on_ssl_status event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert ... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the struct 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 ssl_provider is set to Platform include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
| TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
| TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
| TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
| TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
| SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
| SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the struct will first try to use the platform TLS 1.3 implementation when the ssl_provider is set to Automatic for all editions. If the platform TLS 1.3 implementation is not available, the internal implementation will be used.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, ssl_provider 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 struct when the ssl_provider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and ssl_provider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the on_ssl_server_authentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the struct 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 struct will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
NOTE: This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the struct 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 struct fails with an error.
The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and ssl_provider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.
NOTE: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

UDP Config Settings
The default value for this setting is False.
NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.
The default value is false.
NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the struct initiate connections (or accept in the case of server structs) only through that interface.
If the struct is connected, the local_host setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by local_port after the connection is established.
local_port 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.
NOTE: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.
NOTE: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.
NOTE: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting active to True.
The default value for this setting is False.
The default value for this setting is False.
Socket Config Settings
NOTE: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the struct 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 struct is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the struct 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.
To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
