RSS Control
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The RSS Control is used to retrieve, parse, edit, and write RSS-syndicated content.
Syntax
RSS
Remarks
The RSS Control supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (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 through the Config method.
The RSS Control implements a standard RSS newsreader with extended capabilities as specified at http://backend.userland.com/rss2.
The control contains a number of properties that map directly to RSS fields. To receive a feed, call the GetFeed method with the URL or file to retrieve as specified in the URL parameter. The RSS control also can generate RSS feeds, which can be retrieved through the RSSData property or written through the WriteFile method.
The RSS Control supports all RSS feed properties that are standard in versions 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0 of the RSS protocol through a number of control properties. It also supports nonstandard properties as specified in the RSS protocol through the Namespaces properties and the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.

Default Value
""
Remarks
If this property contains a nonempty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.
The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.
Data Type
String
Authorization Property (RSS Control)
This property includes the Authorization string to be sent to the server.
Syntax
rsscontrol.Authorization[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.
A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.
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]".
Data Type
String
AuthScheme Property (RSS Control)
This property specifies the authentication scheme to use when server authentication is required.

Default Value
0
Remarks
This property will tell the control which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.
This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.
By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the control will attempt HTTP Basic Authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4), or authNegotiate (5), then Digest, NTLM, or Windows Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token must be supplied through the Authorization property.
If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6), then the authorization string must be supplied through the Authorization property.
Note: If you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, then the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.
For security, changing the value of this property will cause the control to clear the values of User, Password, and Authorization.

60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure 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 operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.
Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

This method adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers.
Syntax
rsscontrol.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.
AddItem Method (RSS Control)
This method inserts a new item into the beginning of an RSS feed.
Syntax
rsscontrol.AddItem Title, Description, Link
Remarks
This method assumes that the items are new and more important than existing items and thus adds the item to the beginning of the current item list. This method requires the three standard fields Title, Description, and Link to be specified.
Example 1. Add a New Item:
RSSControl.AddItem("New Item Title", "Item Description", "http://www.itemsource.com")
RSSControl.WriteFile(filename)
Example 2. Add a New Item Using the Item Arrays:
RSSControl.ItemCount = 1
RSSControl.ItemTitle(0) = "New Item Title"
RSSControl.ItemDescription(0) = "Item Description"
RSSControl.ItemLink(0) = "http://www.itemsource.com"
RSSControl.WriteFile(filename)
AddNamespace Method (RSS Control)
This method adds a namespace to the Namespaces properties.
Syntax
rsscontrol.AddNamespace Prefix, NamespaceURI
Remarks
This method adds a namespace to the Namespaces properties. Prefix specifies the namespace prefix, and NamespaceURI specifies the namespace.
Config Method (RSS Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
rsscontrol.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 (RSS Control)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
rsscontrol.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.
GetFeed Method (RSS Control)
This method retrieves an RSS feed.
Syntax
rsscontrol.GetFeed URL
Remarks
This method retrieves documents using the HTTP GET method. The document contents are delivered in the RSSData property, as well as through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. If the LocalFile property has been set, the control will write the transferred data there.
The control will then attempt to parse the RSS feed, filling in the channel and item properties as it goes. The feed properties can be accessed either directly through the named properties, or through the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.
GetProperty Method (RSS Control)
This method gets the value of a specific RSS feed item element or attribute.
Syntax
rsscontrol.GetProperty PropertyName
Remarks
This method is intended to extend the functionality of the RSS control. It will get the value for a specific item element or attribute of this RSS feed. Property is the XPath of the element or attribute according to the following convention: root/element@attribute. The @attribute part is optional, and the root field can be any of the four following values:
Channel | This treats the channel as the root level, and element is any property of the channel. If the empty string ("") is supplied for the root field, the control will assume channel as the root. |
Image | This treats the channel's image as the root level, and element is any property of an image. |
TextInput | This treats the channel's TextInput as the root level, and element is any property of an textInput. |
Item[x] | This treats the channel's x-th item as the root level where the indexer x starts at 1. The field element is any property of an item. |
The element field can be any property of the root field, and attribute can be any property of that field. If an attribute is not supplied, this method will return the text portion of element.
Example. GetProperty:
RSSControl.GetProperty("item[5]/guid@isPermaLink")
RSSControl.GetProperty("item[5]/link")
RSSControl.GetProperty("/channel/title")
Note: To add nonstandard fields (i.e., fields that are not defined in the RSS specification), element must be prefixed with a namespace that defines that field. The same applies for the attribute field. Use the Namespaces properties to define and list namespaces.
GetURL Method (RSS Control)
This method retrieves an RSS feed.
Syntax
rsscontrol.GetURL URL
Remarks
This method retrieves the document using the HTTP GET method. The document contents are delivered in the RSSData property, as well as through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers are delivered through the Header event. If the LocalFile property has been set, the control will write the transferred data there.
The control will not parse the data returned by the server. For more control over the retrieval of the item link, please use the HTTP control.
Interrupt Method (RSS Control)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
rsscontrol.Interrupt
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
OPMLAttr Method (RSS Control)
This method returns the value of the attribute specified in the parameter.
Syntax
rsscontrol.OPMLAttr AttrName
Remarks
This method may be used to get the value of an attribute for an outline entry of an OPML document. The desired attribute must be specified in the parameter of this method. This method also must be invoked inside the OPMLOutline event.
Put Method (RSS Control)
This method sends data to the HTTP server using the HTTP PUT method.
Syntax
rsscontrol.Put URL
Remarks
This method sends data to the HTTP server. The data are taken from the PostData or AttachedFile properties. The server response text is received through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers are received through the Header event. If LocalFile is not empty, the data (not the headers) are written there as well. The user normally should have assigned the correct values to User and Password or Authorization.
ReadFile Method (RSS Control)
This method loads an RSS file into the control.
Syntax
rsscontrol.ReadFile FileName
Remarks
This method loads an RSS file and attempts to parse it, filling in the properties as it goes. The feed properties can be accessed either directly through the named properties or through the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.
ReadOPML Method (RSS Control)
This method reads and parses an OPML file.
Syntax
rsscontrol.ReadOPML OPMLFile
Remarks
This method reads in the OPML file specified by OPMLFile. The control then parses the file and returns the data to the user in the OPMLHeader and OPMLOutline events.
Reset Method (RSS Control)
This method resets all properties of the control.
Syntax
rsscontrol.Reset
Remarks
This method resets all properties to the control's default settings. This is an easy way to clear all of the property values before repopulating the RSS feed.
SetProperty Method (RSS Control)
This method sets the value of a specific RSS feed property.
Syntax
rsscontrol.SetProperty PropertyName, PropertyValue
Remarks
This method is intended to extend the functionality of the RSS control. It will set the value for a specific field of this RSS feed. Property is the name of the property according to the following convention: root/element@attribute. The root field can be any of the four following values:
Channel | This treats the channel as the root level, and element is any property of the channel. If the empty string ("") is supplied for the root field, the control will assume channel as the root. |
Image | This treats the channel's image as the root level, and element is any property of an image. |
TextInput | This treats the channel's TextInput as the root level, and element is any property of the TextInput. |
Item[x] | This treats the channel's x-th item as the root level The field element is any property of an item. |
The element field can be any property of the root field, and attribute can be any property of that field. If an attribute is not supplied, Value will be placed in the text portion of element. Example. SetProperty:
RSSControl.SetProperty("item[5]/guid@isPermaLink", "true")
Note: To add nonstandard fields (i.e., fields that are not defined in the RSS specification), element must be prefixed with a namespace that defines that field. The same applies for the attribute field. Use the Namespaces properties to define and list namespaces.
WriteFile Method (RSS Control)
This method writes an RSS feed from the control.
Syntax
rsscontrol.WriteFile FileName
Remarks
This method will write an RSS feed from the existing property values to FileName. The RSS feed will be preverified, and if there are any missing required fields, the control fails with an error.
Example 1. Add a New Item:
RSSControl.AddItem("New Item Title", "Item Description", "http://www.itemsource.com")
RSSControl.WriteFile(filename)
Example 3. Add a New Item Using the Item Arrays:
RSSControl.ItemCount = 1
RSSControl.ItemTitle(0) = "New Item Title"
RSSControl.ItemDescription(0) = "Item Description"
RSSControl.ItemLink(0) = "http://www.itemsource.com"
RSSControl.WriteFile(filename)

Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS Control)
This event is fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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).
Log Event (RSS Control)
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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. |

OPMLHeader Event (RSS Control)
This event is fired for each value in the header section of the current OPML document.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_OPMLHeader(Field As String, Value As String)
Remarks
This event is fired when the control is parsing an OPML document after a call to ReadOPML is made. The control parses each header field and value from the OPML document and fires OPMLHeader once for each header present.
OPMLOutline Event (RSS Control)
This event is fired for each outline in the current OPML document.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_OPMLOutline(Level As Integer, Text As String, TypeName As String, Title As String, URL As String, XMLURL As String, HTMLURL As String, Created As String, Description As String, OtherAttrs As String)
Remarks
This event is fired for each outline in the OPML document.
The Level parameter contains the depth of the current outline in the OPML document.
Each outline contains a Text attribute, which is parsed out, and returned in the Text parameter.
The Type attribute is a string that describes how the other attributes of the outline are interpreted and is returned in the TypeName parameter.
The Title parameter refers to the title of the outline.
The URL parameter indicates the external location of the outline.
The XMLURL parameter is usually set to an RSS, Atom, or OPML file.
The HTMLURL parameter specifies an HTMLURL attribute, which may be used instead of the URL attribute.
The Created parameter contains the date the outline node was created.
The OtherAttrs parameter contains a list of other attributes for the current outline. In this case, you must use the OPMLAttr method to get the attribute's corresponding values from the parser.
Redirect Event (RSS Control)
This event is fired when a redirection is received from the server.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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.
SetCookie Event (RSS Control)
This event is fired for every cookie set by the server.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS Control)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS Control)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS Control)
This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)
Remarks
The StartTransfer event is fired 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 (RSS Control)
This event is fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS Control)
This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
Sub rsscontrol_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 (RSS 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.RSS Config Settings
Valid array indices are from 0 to ItemCount -1.
Note: This configuration setting is write-only and no validation is performed on the specified data.
The following values are possible:
0 (vfText) | Textual data. Any '<', '>', and '&' characters are escaped to '<', '>', and '&'. |
1 (vfXML) | XML data. No escaping is performed. |
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.

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 multihomed 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 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 LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
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.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
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 control 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 control is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the control. 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 control 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 SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the control will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:

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 control will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the control when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the control 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 control will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

When specified the control 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 control 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 SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
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:
