TipwAtom

Remarks

The Atom component supports both plaintext and 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 Atom Component implements a standard Atom client as defined by RFC 4287 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287) and includes the Atom publishing capabilities as defined by the "The Atom Publishing Protocol" (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5023).

The component contains a number of properties that map directly to Atom fields. To receive a feed, call the GetFeed method with the URL or file to retrieve specified in the URL parameter. You may also update the Entries properties using the Put method.

The Atom Component supports all standard Atom properties and allows you to add your own through AddNamespace and the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.
