CalDAV Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The CalDAV Class implements an easy-to-use interface to the Calendaring Extensions to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV). In this manner the CalDAV protocol specifies a standard way of accessing, managing, and sharing calendar events based on the iCalendar format.

Syntax

CalDAV

Remarks

The CalDAV &class allows remote management of calendars and their events. Supported operations include creation, deletion, listing, copying, and moving of events. Resource locking is also supported.

The GetCalendarReport method will list the event resources contained in the calendar, and the ReportFilter can be used to limit the results returned. The EventDetails event will be fired for each matching calendar resource. You may also request a report containing a list of times that the owner is free or busy using the GetFreeBusyReport. The FreeBusy event will fire for each entry received, and the data fired in the event will also be stored in the FreeBusy property.

Single events can be added to a calendar (or updated) using the CreateEvent method, and can be retrieved via the GetEvent method. Events may be copied or moved with the CopyEvent and MoveEvent.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

Each method that acts on the calendar takes a ResourceURI parameter, which points to either an event resource or to the calendar itself. Event resources have a URI that ends with a filename and the ".ics" extension. Calendar resources end in a directory path. The following methods all act on events, and thus their ResourceURI parameters must terminate in a filename with the ".ics" extension:

These methods all act upon the calendar collection resource (the calendar itself): The LockCalendar and UnLockCalendar methods may operate on individual events or on the whole calendar.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Remarks

This property contains the information for an Alarm calendar component. An Alarm calendar component is a grouping of fields that set up a reminder or alarm for an event or to-do. For example, it may be used to define a reminder for a pending event or an overdue to-do.

Each CalAlarm calendar component MUST include the Action and Trigger fields. The Action field further constrains the CalAlarm in the following ways:

When the Action is aAudio, the alarm can optionally include an Attachment field, containing a base-64 encoded binary audio file to be played when the alarm is triggered.

When the Action is aDisplay, the alarm MUST also include the Message field, which contains the text to be displayed when the alarm is triggered.

When the Action is aEmail, the alarm MUST include the Message field, which contains the text to be used as the message body, the Subject field, which contains the text to be used as the message subject, and the Recipient field, which contains the email address of the person intended to receive the message.

An event may contain multiple alarms.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

IPWorksCalAlarm

Attendees Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines one or more participants that have been invited to the event.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAttendees();
int SetAttendees(const char* lpszAttendees); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetAttendees();
INT SetAttendees(LPCWSTR lpszAttendees);
char* ipworks_caldav_getattendees(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setattendees(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAttendees);
QString GetAttendees();
int SetAttendees(QString qsAttendees);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may contain a comma-separated list of attendees that have been invited to an event. Each email address should be in the mailto URI format (as defined in RFC2368). For instance: CalDAV.Attendees = "mailto:johnsmith@example.com,mailto:janedoe@test.com"

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

Authorization Property (CalDAV Class)

This property includes the Authorization string to be sent to the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAuthorization();
int SetAuthorization(const char* lpszAuthorization); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetAuthorization();
INT SetAuthorization(LPCWSTR lpszAuthorization);
char* ipworks_caldav_getauthorization(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setauthorization(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAuthorization);
QString GetAuthorization();
int SetAuthorization(QString qsAuthorization);

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 class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.

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 (CalDAV Class)

This property specifies the authentication scheme to use when server authentication is required.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetAuthScheme();
int SetAuthScheme(int iAuthScheme); Unicode (Windows) INT GetAuthScheme();
INT SetAuthScheme(INT iAuthScheme);

Possible Values

AUTH_BASIC(0), 
AUTH_DIGEST(1),
AUTH_PROPRIETARY(2),
AUTH_NONE(3),
AUTH_NTLM(4),
AUTH_NEGOTIATE(5),
AUTH_OAUTH(6)
int ipworks_caldav_getauthscheme(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setauthscheme(void* lpObj, int iAuthScheme);
int GetAuthScheme();
int SetAuthScheme(int iAuthScheme);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property will tell the class 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 class 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 class.

For security, changing the value of this property will cause the class to clear the values of User, Password, and Authorization.

Data Type

Duration Property (CalDAV Class)

Duration of the calendar event.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetDuration();
int SetDuration(const char* lpszDuration); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetDuration();
INT SetDuration(LPCWSTR lpszDuration);
char* ipworks_caldav_getduration(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setduration(void* lpObj, const char* lpszDuration);
QString GetDuration();
int SetDuration(QString qsDuration);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the duration for a calendar event. Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

P is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation.
W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
T is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation.
H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.
For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

EndDate Property (CalDAV Class)

Specifies the date and time that a calendar event ends.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetEndDate();
int SetEndDate(const char* lpszEndDate); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetEndDate();
INT SetEndDate(LPCWSTR lpszEndDate);
char* ipworks_caldav_getenddate(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setenddate(void* lpObj, const char* lpszEndDate);
QString GetEndDate();
int SetEndDate(QString qsEndDate);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the date and time that a calendar event will end. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

ETag Property (CalDAV Class)

Identifier returned by the CalDAV server which is used to synchronize edits.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetETag();
int SetETag(const char* lpszETag); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetETag();
INT SetETag(LPCWSTR lpszETag);
char* ipworks_caldav_getetag(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setetag(void* lpObj, const char* lpszETag);
QString GetETag();
int SetETag(QString qsETag);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property identifies the state of the event in the calendar. An ETag is returned by the CalDAV server after a successful CreateEvent request. Every time an event is updated, the ETag changes. This gives you the ability to determine if another user has changed the event you added.

You can use this ETag value to maintain a cache. If you submit a GetCalendarReport request with the ReturnCalendarData field set to False only the URI and ETags for each event in the calendar will be returned in the report. You can cache the ETag and URI locally, and then inspect the report for any changes and update only the events that have changed ETags.

When updating an event with the CreateEvent method, you may add the ETag to the "If-Match" header (using OtherHeaders) in order to insure that you are not overwriting more recent changes on the server. For instance: calDAV.UID = "20110202T000000Z-6414-500-10112-204@nsoftest"; calDAV.StartDate = "20110202T000000Z"; calDAV.EndDate = "20110202T110000Z"; calDAV.TimeStamp = "20100301T000000Z"; calDAV.Summary = "Dinner with friends"; calDAV.Description = "Getting everyone together for some food and fun"; calDAV.Location = "The James Joyce Irish Pub"; calDAV.EventType = CaldavsEventTypes.vEvent; calDAV.OtherHeaders = "If-Match: 1900-1900\r\ n"; calDAV.CreateEvent "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/20110202T000000Z-6414-500-10112-204@nsoftest.ics" If the current ETag for the above event is "1900-1900", then the above modification will work perfectly. However, if the event was modified on the Yahoo server, the ETag will not match and the above will fail with an HTTP Protocol error: "409 Conflict". In that case you should retrieve the event with GetEvent and update the most recent version.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

Data Type

IPWorksFirewall

FollowRedirects Property (CalDAV Class)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetFollowRedirects();
int SetFollowRedirects(int iFollowRedirects); Unicode (Windows) INT GetFollowRedirects();
INT SetFollowRedirects(INT iFollowRedirects);

Possible Values

FR_NEVER(0), 
FR_ALWAYS(1),
FR_SAME_SCHEME(2)
int ipworks_caldav_getfollowredirects(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setfollowredirects(void* lpObj, int iFollowRedirects);
int GetFollowRedirects();
int SetFollowRedirects(int iFollowRedirects);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the class fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class fails with an error instead.

Data Type

Integer

FreeBusy Property (CalDAV Class)

Specifies the times when the calendar owner is free or busy.

Syntax

IPWorksList<IPWorksCalFreeBusy>* GetFreeBusy();

int ipworks_caldav_getfreebusycount(void* lpObj);
char* ipworks_caldav_getfreebusyrange(void* lpObj, int freebusyindex);
char* ipworks_caldav_getfreebusytype(void* lpObj, int freebusyindex);
int GetFreeBusyCount();

QString GetFreeBusyRange(int iFreeBusyIndex);

QString GetFreeBusyType(int iFreeBusyIndex);

Remarks

This property may contain free/busy information in response to a GetFreeBusyReport request or after either a GetCalendarReport or a GetEvent request. In the latter case, this property will only contain data when the EventType is vFreeBusy.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

IPWorksCalFreeBusy

Idle Property (CalDAV Class)

The current status of the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetIdle();

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetIdle();
int ipworks_caldav_getidle(void* lpObj);
bool GetIdle();

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

This property will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

Boolean

LastModified Property (CalDAV Class)

The date and time that the information associated with the calendar event was last revised in the calendar store.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetLastModified();
int SetLastModified(const char* lpszLastModified); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetLastModified();
INT SetLastModified(LPCWSTR lpszLastModified);
char* ipworks_caldav_getlastmodified(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setlastmodified(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLastModified);
QString GetLastModified();
int SetLastModified(QString qsLastModified);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the date and time that the information associated with the calendar event was last revised in the calendar store. This is analogous to the modification date and time for a file in the file system, and must be specified in the UTC time format: <date>T<time>Z, where date is in "YYYYMMDD" format and time is in "hhmmss" format. "T" is the delimiter between date and time, and "Z" is the UTC timezone indicator. For example, "20020119T13:23:56Z" is 1:23:56pm on January 19th, 2002. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (CalDAV Class)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetLocalHost();
int SetLocalHost(const char* lpszLocalHost); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetLocalHost();
INT SetLocalHost(LPCWSTR lpszLocalHost);
char* ipworks_caldav_getlocalhost(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setlocalhost(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocalHost);
QString GetLocalHost();
int SetLocalHost(QString qsLocalHost);

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 class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) 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 class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

Location Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines the intended venue for the activity defined by a calendar class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetLocation();
int SetLocation(const char* lpszLocation); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetLocation();

char* ipworks_caldav_getlocation(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setlocation(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocation);
QString GetLocation();
int SetLocation(QString qsLocation);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may be used to explicitly specify the venue, such as conference or meeting rooms, for the activity defined by a calendar component. An alternate representation may be specified using a URI that points to directory information with more structured specifications of the location. For example, the alternate representation may specify either an LDAP URL [RFC4516] pointing to an LDAP server entry or a CID URL [RFC2392] pointing to a MIME body part containing a Virtual-Information Card (vCard) [RFC2426] for the location.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

LockProperties Property (CalDAV Class)

int SetLockOwner(QString qsLockOwner); QString GetLockScope();
int SetLockScope(QString qsLockScope); int GetLockTimeout();
int SetLockTimeout(int iLockTimeout); QString GetLockToken();
int SetLockToken(QString qsLockToken);

Remarks

This property used the LockType, Owner, Scope Timeout, and Token fields when locking and unlocking a calendar resource. You may lock the whole calendar, or only a single event within the calendar, depending on the URI you pass to LockCalendar or UnLockCalendar. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will the LockType, Owner, Scope Timeout, and Token fields to the values returned in the server's response. The lock Token is then passed along when you call CopyEvent or MoveEvent

Data Type

IPWorksCalLock

Organizer Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines the organizer of a calendar event.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetOrganizer();
int SetOrganizer(const char* lpszOrganizer); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetOrganizer();

char* ipworks_caldav_getorganizer(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setorganizer(void* lpObj, const char* lpszOrganizer);
QString GetOrganizer();
int SetOrganizer(QString qsOrganizer);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is specified within the vEvent, vTodo, and vJournal calendar EventTypes to specify the organizer of a group-scheduled calendar entity. The property is specified within the vFreeBusy EventType to identify the calendar user requesting the free or busy time. When publishing a vFreeBusy EventType, the property is used to specify the calendar that the published busy time came from.

Each email address should be in the mailto URI format (as defined in RFC2368).

For instance: CalDAV.Organizer = "mailto:jane_doe@example.com";

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

OtherHeaders Property (CalDAV Class)

Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetOtherHeaders();
int SetOtherHeaders(const char* lpszOtherHeaders); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetOtherHeaders();
INT SetOtherHeaders(LPCWSTR lpszOtherHeaders);
char* ipworks_caldav_getotherheaders(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setotherheaders(void* lpObj, const char* lpszOtherHeaders);
QString GetOtherHeaders();
int SetOtherHeaders(QString qsOtherHeaders);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers created from other properties like ContentType and From.

The headers must follow the format Header: Value as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .

Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.

This property is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.

For CalDAV, the "If-Match" header is extremely useful. After adding a an event with CreateEvent or retrieving an event with GetEvent, the ETag property will contain a value indicating the current state of the event. If you wish to update the event, you may pass this returned ETag in an "If-Match" header. If the event on the server has been modified since you retrieved it (and the ETag on the server has changed), then the CreateEvent will fail with an HTTP Protocol Error: "409 Conflict", which indicates there is a conflict between the version you're trying to update and the current version on the sever. For instance: calDAV.OtherHeaders = "If-Match: 1900-1900\r\ n";

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

ParsedHeaders Property (CalDAV Class)

This property includes a collection of headers returned from the last request.

Syntax

IPWorksList<IPWorksHeader>* GetParsedHeaders();

int ipworks_caldav_getparsedheadercount(void* lpObj);

char* ipworks_caldav_getparsedheadervalue(void* lpObj, int parsedheaderindex);
int GetParsedHeaderCount();

QString GetParsedHeaderField(int iParsedHeaderIndex);

QString GetParsedHeaderValue(int iParsedHeaderIndex);

Remarks

This property contains a collection of headers returned from the last request. Whenever headers are returned from the server, the headers are parsed into a collection of headers. Each Header in this collection contains information describing that header.

MaxHeaders can be used to control the maximum number of headers saved.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

IPWorksHeader

Password Property (CalDAV Class)

This property includes a password if authentication is to be used.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetPassword();
int SetPassword(const char* lpszPassword); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetPassword();

char* ipworks_caldav_getpassword(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setpassword(void* lpObj, const char* lpszPassword);
QString GetPassword();
int SetPassword(QString qsPassword);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a password if authentication is to be used. If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the result is put in the Authorization configuration setting in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Digest Authentication, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, NTLM authentication will be attempted. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM and User and Password are empty, the class will attempt to authenticate using the current user's credentials.

Data Type

int GetPriority();
int SetPriority(int iPriority);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the relative priority of a calendar event. The priority is specified as an integer in the range 0 to 9. A value of 0 specifies an undefined Priority. A value of 1 is the highest Priority. A value of 2 is the second highest Priority. Subsequent numbers specify a decreasing ordinal Priority. A value of 9 is the lowest Priority.

A Calendar User-Agent (CUA) with a three-level Priority scheme of "HIGH", "MEDIUM", and "LOW" is mapped into this property such that a property value in the range of 1 to 4 specifies "HIGH" Priority. A value of 5 is the normal or "MEDIUM" Priority. A value in the range of 6 to 9 is "LOW" Priority.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

int SetRecurrenceExceptionRule(QString qsRecurrenceExceptionRule); QString GetRecurrenceId();
int SetRecurrenceId(QString qsRecurrenceId); QString GetRecurrenceRule();
int SetRecurrenceRule(QString qsRecurrenceRule);

Remarks

This property defines the recurrence set for the event. The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the Rule, Dates, ExceptionRule, and ExceptionDates fields contained within the recurring event. The StartDate property defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The starting date SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if specified. The recurrence set generated with a start date that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined. The final recurrence set is generated by gathering all of the start DATE-TIME values generated by any of the specified Rule and Dates fields, and then excluding any start DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule or ExceptionDates fields. This implies that DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule and ExceptionDates fields take precedence over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., Dates and Rule). When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence Rule and Dates fields, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

int SetReportFilterUID(QString qsReportFilterUID);

Remarks

This property may be used to restrict the results of reports to only those that match your search criteria.The GetCalendarReport method will normally return the entire calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. You can restrict results to only events within a specified time range (using StartDate and EndDate), to only recurring events within a specified time range (using RecurStart and RecurEnd), and to events with an alarm set to go off within a specified time range. (using AlarmStart and AlarmEnd). You can also restrict results to only those events which contain a specific Property (either by property name, or name and a specific value). The EventType property determines what kind of events are returned (events, todo lists, journal entries, or free/busy time).

Data Type

Sequence Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines the revision sequence number of the event within a sequence of revisions.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetSequence();
int SetSequence(int iSequence); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSequence();
INT SetSequence(INT iSequence);
int ipworks_caldav_getsequence(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setsequence(void* lpObj, int iSequence);
int GetSequence();
int SetSequence(int iSequence);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the revision sequence number of the event within a sequence of revisions. When a calendar component is created its Sequence number is 0. It is incremented by the Organizer's Calendar User Agent (CUA) each time the Organizer makes a significant revision to the calendar event. Therefore, a Sequence number of 2 means the event has been revised twice.

The Organizer includes this property in a calendar event that it sends to an Attendees to specify the current version of the event. Likewise, the Attendees includes this property in an event that it sends to the Organizer to specify the version of the calendar component to which the Attendees is referring.

Note: Recurrence instances of a recurring event may have different sequence numbers.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.

You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.

SSLProvider Property (CalDAV Class)

The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetSSLProvider();
int SetSSLProvider(int iSSLProvider); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSSLProvider();
INT SetSSLProvider(INT iSSLProvider);

Possible Values

SSLP_AUTOMATIC(0), 
SSLP_PLATFORM(1),
SSLP_INTERNAL(2)
int ipworks_caldav_getsslprovider(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setsslprovider(void* lpObj, int iSSLProvider);
int GetSSLProvider();
int SetSSLProvider(int iSSLProvider);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are as follows:

0 (sslpAutomatic - default)Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform) Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal) Uses the internal implementation.
Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the class will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the class will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

char* ipworks_caldav_getstartdate(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setstartdate(void* lpObj, const char* lpszStartDate);
QString GetStartDate();
int SetStartDate(QString qsStartDate);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the date and time that an event begins. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

Status Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines the overall status or confirmation for the calendar event.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetStatus();
int SetStatus(const char* lpszStatus); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetStatus();

char* ipworks_caldav_getstatus(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setstatus(void* lpObj, const char* lpszStatus);
QString GetStatus();
int SetStatus(QString qsStatus);

Default Value

""

Remarks

In a group-scheduled calendar component, the property is used by the Organizer to provide a confirmation of the event to the Attendees. For example in a vEvent EventType the Organizer can indicate that a meeting is tentative, confirmed, or canceled. For a vTodo EventType, the Organizer can indicate that an action item needs action, is completed, is in process or being worked on, or has been canceled. In a vJournal EventType, the Organizer can indicate that a journal entry is draft, final, or has been canceled or removed.

Statuses for a vEvent EventType:

TENTATIVEIndicates event is tentative.
CONFIRMEDIndicates event is definite.
CANCELLEDIndicates event was canceled.
Statuses for a vTodo EventType:
NEEDS-ACTIONIndicates to-do needs action.
COMPLETEDIndicates to-do completed.
IN-PROCESSIndicates to-do in process of.
CANCELLEDIndicates to-do was canceled.
Statuses for a vJournal EventType:
DRAFTIndicates event is draft.
FINALIndicates event is final.
CANCELLEDIndicates event is removed.

""

Remarks

This property defines a short summary or subject for the calendar event.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

Timeout Property (CalDAV Class)

The timeout for the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout); Unicode (Windows) INT GetTimeout();
INT SetTimeout(INT iTimeout);
int ipworks_caldav_gettimeout(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_settimeout(void* lpObj, int iTimeout);
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout);

Default Value

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 class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class 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 class 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.

Data Type

Integer

Timestamp Property (CalDAV Class)

Specifies the date and time that the instance of the event was created.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetTimestamp();
int SetTimestamp(const char* lpszTimestamp); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTimestamp();
INT SetTimestamp(LPCWSTR lpszTimestamp);
char* ipworks_caldav_gettimestamp(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_settimestamp(void* lpObj, const char* lpszTimestamp);
QString GetTimestamp();
int SetTimestamp(QString qsTimestamp);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the date and time that the instance of the event was created. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Note: This property must be specified in UTC time format.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

Timezone Property (CalDAV Class)

Specifies a time zone on a calendar collection.

int SetTimezoneStdStart(QString qsTimezoneStdStart); QString GetTimezoneId();
int SetTimezoneId(QString qsTimezoneId); QString GetTimezoneURL();
int SetTimezoneURL(QString qsTimezoneURL);

Remarks

This property is used to specify the time zone the server should rely on to resolve "date" values and "date with local time" values (i.e., floating time) to "date with UTC time" values. The server will require this information to determine if a calendar component scheduled with "date" values or "date with local time" values overlap a time range specified in a GetCalendarReport. In the absence of this property, the server may rely on a time zone of its choosing.

This may be specified when adding or modifying an event with the CreateEvent method, and can also specify the default timezone for the calendar when creating a new calendar collection via the CreateCalendar method.

This property may be filled from the response to a GetEvent, and can also be used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. It is also optional when calling the CreateCalendar method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

IPWorksCalTimezone

Transparency Property (CalDAV Class)

Defines whether or not an event is transparent to busy time searches.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetTransparency();
int SetTransparency(const char* lpszTransparency); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTransparency();
INT SetTransparency(LPCWSTR lpszTransparency);
char* ipworks_caldav_gettransparency(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_settransparency(void* lpObj, const char* lpszTransparency);
QString GetTransparency();
int SetTransparency(QString qsTransparency);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property defines whether or not an event is transparent to busy time searches. Time Transparency is the characteristic of an event that determines whether it appears to consume time on a calendar. Events that consume actual time for the individual or resource associated with the calendar SHOULD be recorded as "OPAQUE", allowing them to be detected by free/busy time searches. Other events, which do not take up the individual's (or resource's) time SHOULD be recorded as "TRANSPARENT", making them invisible to free/ busy time searches.

Custom transparency values may or may not be supported by your calendar implementation, but all implementations will support the "OPAQUE" and "TRANSPARENT" values.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

UID Property (CalDAV Class)

A persistent, globally unique identifier for the calendar event.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetUID();
int SetUID(const char* lpszUID); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetUID();
INT SetUID(LPCWSTR lpszUID);
char* ipworks_caldav_getuid(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setuid(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUID);
QString GetUID();
int SetUID(QString qsUID);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a persistent, globally unique identifier. The generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish this. A good method to assure uniqueness is to put the domain name or a domain literal IP address of the host on which the identifier was created on the right-hand side of an "@", and on the left-hand side, put a combination of the current calendar date and time of day (i.e., formatted in as a date/time value) along with some other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available on the system (for example, a process id number). Using a date/time value on the left-hand side and a domain name or domain literal on the right-hand side makes it possible to guarantee uniqueness since no two hosts should be using the same domain name or IP address at the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it is recommended that the right-hand side contain some domain identifier (either of the host itself or otherwise) such that the generator of the message identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of the left-hand side within the scope of that domain.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the Resource URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the CreateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar)

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

URL Property (CalDAV Class)

Location of the event resource on the CalDAV server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetURL();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetURL();
char* ipworks_caldav_geturl(void* lpObj);
QString GetURL();

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is read-only, and will be filled with the location of the event resource for each event returned. This will only be returned in response to a GetCalendarReport transaction.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

User Property (CalDAV Class)

This property includes a user name if authentication is to be used.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetUser();
int SetUser(const char* lpszUser); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetUser();
INT SetUser(LPCWSTR lpszUser);
char* ipworks_caldav_getuser(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_caldav_setuser(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUser);
QString GetUser();
int SetUser(QString qsUser);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a user name if authentication is to be used. If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Basic Authentication, The User and Password are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Digest Authentication, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, NTLM authentication will be attempted. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, and User and Password are empty, the class will attempt to authenticate using the current user's credentials.

Data Type

String

AddCookie Method (CalDAV Class)

Adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddCookie(const char* lpszCookieName, const char* lpszCookieValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddCookie(LPCWSTR lpszCookieName, LPCWSTR lpszCookieValue);
int ipworks_caldav_addcookie(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCookieName, const char* lpszCookieValue);
int AddCookie(const QString& qsCookieName, const QString& qsCookieValue);

Remarks

This method 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.

Error Handling (C++)

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

AddCustomProperty Method (CalDAV Class)

Adds a form variable and the corresponding value.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddCustomProperty(const char* lpszVarName, const char* lpszVarValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddCustomProperty(LPCWSTR lpszVarName, LPCWSTR lpszVarValue);
int ipworks_caldav_addcustomproperty(void* lpObj, const char* lpszVarName, const char* lpszVarValue);
int AddCustomProperty(const QString& qsVarName, const QString& qsVarValue);

Remarks

This property adds a form variable and the corresponding value. For information on form variables and how they are managed, please refer to the CustomProperties properties.

Example using the AddCustomProperty method:

CalDAV.Reset() CalDAV.AddCustomProperty("propname1", "propvalue1") CalDAV.AddCustomProperty("propname2", "propvalue2") Example using Custom Property arrays: CalDAV.Reset() CalDAV.CustomPropertyCount = 2 CalDAV.CustomPropertyName (0) = "propname1" CalDAV.CustomPropertyValue(0) = "propvalue1" CalDAV.CustomPropertyName (1) = "propname2" CalDAV.CustomPropertyValue(1) = "propvalue2"

Error Handling (C++)

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

Config Method (CalDAV Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* ipworks_caldav_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

CopyEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Copy events to a new location.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CopyEvent(const char* lpszSourceResourceURI, const char* lpszDestinationResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT CopyEvent(LPCWSTR lpszSourceResourceURI, LPCWSTR lpszDestinationResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_copyevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSourceResourceURI, const char* lpszDestinationResourceURI);
int CopyEvent(const QString& qsSourceResourceURI, const QString& qsDestinationResourceURI);

Remarks

The CopyEvent method will copy the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the class will copy only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to "infinity", the class will copy SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to the relative locations.

If the user has acquired a LockCalendar of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Note that neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support locking, copying, or moving calendar resources.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

CreateCalendar Method (CalDAV Class)

Creates a new calendar collection resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CreateCalendar(const char* lpszResourceURI, const char* lpszDisplayName, const char* lpszDescription);

Unicode (Windows)
INT CreateCalendar(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI, LPCWSTR lpszDisplayName, LPCWSTR lpszDescription);
int ipworks_caldav_createcalendar(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI, const char* lpszDisplayName, const char* lpszDescription);
int CreateCalendar(const QString& qsResourceURI, const QString& qsDisplayName, const QString& qsDescription);

Remarks

The CreateCalendar method creates a new calendar collection resource. A server MAY restrict calendar collection creation to particular collections.

Creating calendar collections is not supported by all CalDAV servers. Some calendar stores only support one calendar per user (or principal), and those are typically pre-created for each account.

The DisplayName and Description parameters should be set to a human readable display name and description of the calendar. The Timezone property specifies the default timezone of the calendar.

To successfully create a calendar, the ResourceURI cannot already exist, and must point to a valid location where a new calendar can be created. The DAV:bind privilege MUST be granted to the current user on the parent collection of the specified ResourceURI.

The following example shows how to create a simple new calendar collection resource with Yahoo Calendar. calDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", "My Display Name", "My Calendar Description);

Note that Google does not support creating a new calendar through CalDAV. It must be created through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

CreateEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Adds a calendar resource at the specified ResourceURI using the CalDAV PUT method.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CreateEvent(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT CreateEvent(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_createevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int CreateEvent(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method adds a new event to the calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. The ResourceURI must be a fully qualified URL to the location on the CalDAV server to which this event will be saved. If the ResourceURI already exists, the event at that URI will be overwritten.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the CreateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar)

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

(Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

DeleteCalendar Method (CalDAV Class)

Deletes a calendar collection resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)

Unicode (Windows)
INT DeleteCalendar(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_deletecalendar(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int DeleteCalendar(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method deletes a calendar collection resource specified by ResourceURI. To successfully delete a calendar, the ResourceURI should already exist, and must point to a valid location where a calendar can be deleted. The DAV:bind privilege MUST be granted to the current user on the parent collection of the specified ResourceURI.

The following example shows how to delete a calendar collection resource: calDAV.DeleteCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1"); In a NextCloud server, if all calendars are deleted, a new Personal calendar is automatically created.

Note that Google does not support deleting a calendar through CalDAV. It must be created through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

DeleteEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Delete a resource or collection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DeleteEvent(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT DeleteEvent(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_deleteevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int DeleteEvent(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method behaves independently of the Depth property. It is used to delete the resource or collection specified by ResourceURI. If ResourceURI denotes a non-collection resource, it is first removed from any collection in which it is contained, it is then removed from the server. If ResourceURI denotes a collection, the server behaves as if the command were issued with an infinite depth (i.e., all internal member URIs denoting single resources or collections are deleted).

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

DoEvents Method (CalDAV Class)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DoEvents();

Unicode (Windows)
INT DoEvents();
int ipworks_caldav_doevents(void* lpObj);
int DoEvents();

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Error Handling (C++)

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

ExportICS Method (CalDAV Class)

Generates an event from the properties in the iCal (.ICS) format.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ExportICS();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR ExportICS();
char* ipworks_caldav_exportics(void* lpObj);
QString ExportICS();

Remarks

The ExportICS method is used to create a calendar object and export it in the iCal/ICS format, which can then be saved to disk and imported using any calendar software, even those that do not support CalDAV. The ExportICS method will create the exact same data as the CreateEvent method sends when adding or updating an event to a calendar.

Note that if ExportICS is called immediately after a successful GetEvent, the unmodified calendar returned from the CalDAV server will be returned. However if any properties are changed between the GetEvent and ExportICS calls, the class will generate and return a brand new event.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetCalendarOptions Method (CalDAV Class)

Retrieves options for the ResourceURI to determines whether it supports calendar access.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetCalendarOptions(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetCalendarOptions(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_getcalendaroptions(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int GetCalendarOptions(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method sends an OPTIONS HTTP request to the indicated ResourceURI. The server will respond with an 200 OK HTTP message, and the supported options will fire one-by-one in the Header event. If a server supports CalDAV calendar access, the "DAV" header will contain the string "calendar-access". The allowable CalDAV and WebDAV methods may also be returned in the "Allow" header.

For instance, the following headers may be returned from a call to the GetCalendarOptions method:

FieldValue
Allow OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, COPY, MOVE
Allow PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, REPORT, ACL
DAV 1, 2, access-control, calendar-access
Date Sat, 11 Nov 2006 09:32:12 GMT
Content-Length0
Since the "DAV" header contains "calendar-access", CalDAV is supported on this ResourceURI.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

GetCalendarReport Method (CalDAV Class)

Generates a report on the indicated calendar collection resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetCalendarReport(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetCalendarReport(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_getcalendarreport(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int GetCalendarReport(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method is used to send a calendar-query request to the calendar located at the specified ResourceURI. The ReportFilter can be used to filter out and return only the calendar events you wish to receive. The response to a calendar-query report will be parsed by the class, and information about the individual events contained within shall be fired in the EventDetails event.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

For example: CalDAV.User = "myusername" CalDAV.Password = "mypassword" CalDAV.ReportFilterStartDate = "20090101T000000Z" CalDAV.ReportFilterEndDate = "20091231T230000Z" CalDAV.GetCalendarReport "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/default_calendar/" The following code inside the EventDetails event will print the start and end time as well as the summary for each event: Private Sub CalDAV_EventDetails(ResourceURI As String, ResponseStatus As String, ETag As String, CalendarData As String, Summary As String) Debug.Print Summary & ": " & CalDAV.StartDate & " to " & CalDAV.EndDate End Sub The output from the above code will look something like this:

	Carolina Hurricanes vs. Colorado Avalanche: 20090222T150000 to 20090222T180000
	Lone Rider Brewery Tour: 20091107T124500 to 20091107T134500
	Salsa Dancing: 20090927T154500 to 20090927T181500
	Superbowl Party: 20090201T170000 to 20090202T000000
	Kathy's Birthday: 20090608T010000 to 20090608T020000
	Dinner at Shannon's: 20091001T183000 to 20091001T203000
	Carolina Rollergirls match: 20090411T170000 to 20090411T180000

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

GetEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Retrieves a single event from the CalDAV server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetEvent(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetEvent(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_getevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int GetEvent(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method retrieves a single event from a CalDAV server. The ResourceURI points to the exact location of the iCal (*.ics) file you wish to retrieve. (If you do not know the URL of the event you need, you can use the GetCalendarReport method along with the ReportFilter property to find it.)

The event will be retrieved using the WebDAV GET method. The full response is delivered through the Transfer event and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. After an event is retrieved with this method, the class parses the calendar data into properties. You may then edit these properties and use CreateEvent to update the calendar event resource.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

GetFreeBusyReport Method (CalDAV Class)

Generates a report as to when the calendar owner is free and/or busy.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetFreeBusyReport(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetFreeBusyReport(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_getfreebusyreport(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int GetFreeBusyReport(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method sends a free-busy-query request to the calendar at the specified ResourceURI. . The CalDAV server will return a list of FREEBUSY elements, which will be fired in the FreeBusy event and also stored in the FreeBusy collection. Each FREEBUSY element contains a type (BUSY, FREE, BUSY-TENTATIVE, etc.) and a date range.

Note that the StartDate field is required for a Free/Busy report. The EndDate field is optional. These are the only two ReportFilters used by the GetFreeBusyReport request, all other filters will be ignored.

Note that Google Calendar does not currently support Free/Busy reporting.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

ImportICS Method (CalDAV Class)

Imports calendar data (contained in an ICS file) into the class's property list.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ImportICS(const char* lpszCalendarData);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ImportICS(LPCWSTR lpszCalendarData);
int ipworks_caldav_importics(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCalendarData);
int ImportICS(const QString& qsCalendarData);

Remarks

This method is used to load calendar data from an external source into the class. You may then submit this data with a call to CreateEvent. If you edit any of the class properties between importing and calling CreateEvent, the class will re-generate the PUT request itself. If no properties are changed, the imported data will be submitted unaltered when calling CreateEvent.

As the calendar data is imported, the class will scan CalendarData for any calendar events. Each time a calendar event is discovered, the EventDetails event will fire, and the calendar event properties will be updated.

After ImportICS completes, the calendar event properties will be set to the most recent calendar event found in CalendarData.

Error Handling (C++)

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

Interrupt Method (CalDAV Class)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Interrupt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Interrupt();
int ipworks_caldav_interrupt(void* lpObj);
int Interrupt();

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Error Handling (C++)

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

ListCalendars Method (CalDAV Class)

Lists all calendars that the current user can access.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ListCalendars(const char* lpszbaseURL);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ListCalendars(LPCWSTR lpszbaseURL);
int ipworks_caldav_listcalendars(void* lpObj, const char* lpszbaseURL);
int ListCalendars(const QString& qsbaseURL);

Remarks

This method lists all calendars the user can access.

The BaseURL parameter must be set to the base CalDAV URL for the server. For instance in the case of Google this is https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2. Other servers may use a format like https://mydavserver/.well-known/caldav/.

When this method is called the class will automatically perform a series of requests to obtain the calendar list. First, the class will send a PROPFIND request to the specified base URL to obtain the current-user-principle. Once the current user has been found, the class will then use that information to send a second PROPFIND request to get calendar-home-set for the user. The calendar-home-set is then be used by the class to make a final PROPFIND request to get the list of calendars for the user.

Once this method returns, the class will populate the Calendars collection. For example:

calDAV.ListCalendars("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2"); for (int i = 0; i < calDAV.Calendars.Count; i++) { string url = calDAV.Calendars[i].URL; string displayName = calDAV.Calendars[i].DisplayName; ... }

Error Handling (C++)

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

LockCalendar Method (CalDAV Class)

Obtain a lock for a specified calendar resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int LockCalendar(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT LockCalendar(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_lockcalendar(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int LockCalendar(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method will request a new lock to be placed on ResourceURI in the user's name so that only the user can operate on it. The method is linked to a number of properties that it uses to generate the lock request:

OwnerThe principle that will own the lock.
ScopeThe scope of the lock. The class only currently supports locks of scope "exclusive" and "shared".
TimeoutThe amount of time that the lock is allowed to exist before ResourceURI is automatically unlocked by the server.
TokenThe lock itself. If the user sets this before making the request, the timeout on the existing lock will be refreshed (reset to 0). Otherwise, a new set of lock token will be returned.
LockTypeThe type of lock. The class only currently supports of type "write".
After a successful call to the LockCalendar method the class will receive the new lock values, which it will parse and store in the lock properties.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the class will lock only ResourceURI and its properties. If Depth is set to "infinity", the class will lock ResourceURI and its entire subtree.

If MoveEvent or CopyEvent are used to place a resource or collection in a location under a resource locked with "infinity", the new resource or collection will be added to the lock. Any lock on a collection will prevent non-lock owners from adding resources to that collection.

Note that while the Yahoo CalDAV server does accept LockCalendar and UnLockCalendar requests, the server does not respect resource locks (either on events or on the entire calendar). The Google CalDAV sever does not support either of these requests, and will respond with an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method Not Allowed. Also, neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support copying or moving calendar resources.

Error Handling (C++)

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

MoveEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Moves one calendar resource to a new location.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int MoveEvent(const char* lpszSourceResourceURI, const char* lpszDestinationResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT MoveEvent(LPCWSTR lpszSourceResourceURI, LPCWSTR lpszDestinationResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_moveevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSourceResourceURI, const char* lpszDestinationResourceURI);
int MoveEvent(const QString& qsSourceResourceURI, const QString& qsDestinationResourceURI);

Remarks

This method will move the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the class will move only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to "infinity", the class will move SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a lock of infinite depth (via LockCalendar) on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Note that neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support locking, copying, or moving calendar resources.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

Reset Method (CalDAV Class)

Reset the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();
int ipworks_caldav_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

Error Handling (C++)

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

SendCustomRequest Method (CalDAV Class)

Sends a request to the CalDAV server to do CRUD operations.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendCustomRequest(const char* lpszHttpMethod, const char* lpszUrl, const char* lpszRequestBody);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendCustomRequest(LPCWSTR lpszHttpMethod, LPCWSTR lpszUrl, LPCWSTR lpszRequestBody);
int ipworks_caldav_sendcustomrequest(void* lpObj, const char* lpszHttpMethod, const char* lpszUrl, const char* lpszRequestBody);
int SendCustomRequest(const QString& qsHttpMethod, const QString& qsUrl, const QString& qsRequestBody);

Remarks

Allows users to send personalized HTTP commands to a CalDAV server. It requires three string parameters: HTTPMethod indicates the desired action (e.g., "GET," "POST"), url specifies the target resource's URL, and RequestBody includes data sent with the request. Here is an example of how to create a calendar event: string httpMethod = "MKCALENDAR"; string url = "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user/Calendar/CreateCalendarTest"; string requestBody = "BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:/n software IPWorks CalDAV Component - www.nsoftware.com VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT UID: uidValue DTSTAMP: dtstampValue DTSTART: dtstartValue DTEND: dtendValue PRIORITY:0 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:TEST END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR" calDAV.SendCustomRequest(httpMethod, url, requestBody);

Error Handling (C++)

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

UnLockCalendar Method (CalDAV Class)

Unlocks a calendar resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int UnLockCalendar(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT UnLockCalendar(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_unlockcalendar(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int UnLockCalendar(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method unlocks a calendar resource. Before calling UnLockCalendar on a particular calendar resource, the Token property must be set to the lock token for ResourceURI. The method will remove the lock, allowing other users or non-privileged users to access and operate on the file.

Error Handling (C++)

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

UpdateCalendar Method (CalDAV Class)

Updates a calendar collection resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int UpdateCalendar(const char* lpszResourceURI, int iCalIndex);

Unicode (Windows)
INT UpdateCalendar(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI, INT iCalIndex);
int ipworks_caldav_updatecalendar(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI, int iCalIndex);
int UpdateCalendar(const QString& qsResourceURI, int iCalIndex);

Remarks

This method updates an existing calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. To successfully update a calendar, the ResourceURI should already exist, and must point to a valid location where a calendar is saved. This method requires the specified calendar collection index. Use ListCalendars and search through Calendars to find the index of the calendar to be updated.

The following example shows how to update a calendar collection resource: CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", "test", "test"); calDAV.Calendars[0].DisplayName = "test_updated"; calDAV.Calendars[0].Color = "#000001"; calDAV.UpdateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", 0);

Note that Google does not support updating a calendar through CalDAV. It must be updated through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

UpdateEvent Method (CalDAV Class)

Updates a calendar resource at the specified ResourceURI using the CalDAV PUT method.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int UpdateEvent(const char* lpszResourceURI);

Unicode (Windows)
INT UpdateEvent(LPCWSTR lpszResourceURI);
int ipworks_caldav_updateevent(void* lpObj, const char* lpszResourceURI);
int UpdateEvent(const QString& qsResourceURI);

Remarks

This method updates an existing event to the calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. The ResourceURI must be a fully qualified URL to the location on the CalDAV server to which this event is saved.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the UpdateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar). NextCloud on the other hand doesn't have this requirement.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Error Handling (C++)

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

Connected Event (CalDAV Class)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireConnected(CalDAVConnectedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int StatusCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } CalDAVConnectedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireConnected(CalDAVConnectedEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireConnectionStatus(CalDAVConnectionStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

Firewall connection complete.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable).
Remote host connection complete.
Remote host disconnected.
SSL or S/Shell connection broken.
Firewall host disconnected.
StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Disconnected(CalDAVDisconnectedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireDisconnected(CalDAVDisconnectedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

EndTransfer Event (CalDAV Class)

This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireEndTransfer(CalDAVEndTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction; int reserved; } CalDAVEndTransferEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireEndTransfer(CalDAVEndTransferEventParams *e);

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void EndTransfer(CalDAVEndTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireEndTransfer(CalDAVEndTransferEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (CalDAV Class)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(CalDAVErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int ErrorCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } CalDAVErrorEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(CalDAVErrorEventParams *e);

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void EventDetails(CalDAVEventDetailsEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireEventDetails(CalDAVEventDetailsEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event fires for each VEVENT, VTODO, VJOURNAL, or VFREEBUSY event received in response to a GetCalendarReport request. The ResourceURI parameter indicates the location of this particular event on the CalDAV server, and the ETag parameter is used to indicate the current state of the calendar event. If the ETag is different from the value you have cached for the current ResourceURI, it means the event has changed on the server since the last time you updated your cache. ResponseStatus indicates the HTTP status of CalDAV server received when attempting to retrieve this particular ResourceURI when it was building the report. The CalendarData parameter contains the raw calendar entry as returned by the CalDAV server. This data is also parsed into the following properties, and are valid for the current ResourceURI only inside this event. The Summary parameter indicates the summary of this particular calendar event.

Note that for a large calendar you may not wish to return the full contents of each calendar event, as this could be a substantially large amount of data. In this case, set the ReturnCalendarData field to false, and only the ResourceURI, ResponseStatus, and ETag parameters will be returned by the CalDAV server for each calendar event. The contents of the event will not be returned, and the CalendarData parameter will be empty.

*The ResourceURI and the URL property are not the same. The URL property is an iCal field, and the ResourceURI is the actual location of the resource on the CalDAV server. Some CalDAV servers may force the URL to match the ResourceURI, but the URL should be treated as a separate user-defined entity by the user, and it should not be expected to match the ResourceURI. Likewise, ResponseStatus and Status are not the same. Status is the status of the event (TENTATIVE, CONFIRMED, CANCELLED, etc). ResponseStatus is the HTTP status received when the CalDAV server attempted to retrieve the current event when constructing a report.

FreeBusy Event (CalDAV Class)

Fires for each Free/Busy element received in the response.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireFreeBusy(CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *BusyType;
const char *BusyRange; int reserved; } CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireFreeBusy(CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR BusyType;
LPCWSTR BusyRange; INT reserved; } CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_FREEBUSY 7

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireFreeBusy(LPSTR &lpszBusyType, LPSTR &lpszBusyRange);
class CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams {
public:
  const QString &BusyType();

  const QString &BusyRange();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void FreeBusy(CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireFreeBusy(CalDAVFreeBusyEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event fires for each FREEBUSY element received in response to a GetFreeBusyReport request. The FBTYPE will be contained in the BusyType parameter, and the FREEBUSY value itself will be contained in the BusyRange parameter. The Free/Busy information will also be stored in the FreeBusy collection.

Header Event (CalDAV Class)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireHeader(CalDAVHeaderEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Field;
const char *Value; int reserved; } CalDAVHeaderEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireHeader(CalDAVHeaderEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Field;
LPCWSTR Value; INT reserved; } CalDAVHeaderEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_HEADER 8

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireHeader(LPSTR &lpszField, LPSTR &lpszValue);
class CalDAVHeaderEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Field();

  const QString &Value();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Header(CalDAVHeaderEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireHeader(CalDAVHeaderEventParams *e) {...}

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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireLog(CalDAVLogEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int LogLevel;
const char *Message;
const char *LogType; int reserved; } CalDAVLogEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireLog(CalDAVLogEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT LogLevel;
LPCWSTR Message;
LPCWSTR LogType; INT reserved; } CalDAVLogEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_LOG 9

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireLog(INT &iLogLevel, LPSTR &lpszMessage, LPSTR &lpszLogType);
class CalDAVLogEventParams {
public:
  int LogLevel();

  const QString &Message();

  const QString &LogType();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Log(CalDAVLogEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireLog(CalDAVLogEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

0 (None) No events are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data are logged.

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

  • "Info"
  • "RequestHeaders"
  • "ResponseHeaders"
  • "RequestBody"
  • "ResponseBody"
  • "ProxyRequest"
  • "ProxyResponse"
  • "FirewallRequest"
  • "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (CalDAV Class)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireRedirect(CalDAVRedirectEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Location;
int Accept; int reserved; } CalDAVRedirectEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireRedirect(CalDAVRedirectEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Location;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } CalDAVRedirectEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_REDIRECT 10

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireRedirect(LPSTR &lpszLocation, BOOL &bAccept);
class CalDAVRedirectEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Location();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Redirect(CalDAVRedirectEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireRedirect(CalDAVRedirectEventParams *e) {...}

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 class 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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSetCookie(CalDAVSetCookieEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Name;
const char *Value;
const char *Expires;
const char *Domain;
const char *Path;
int Secure; int reserved; } CalDAVSetCookieEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSetCookie(CalDAVSetCookieEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Name;
LPCWSTR Value;
LPCWSTR Expires;
LPCWSTR Domain;
LPCWSTR Path;
BOOL Secure; INT reserved; } CalDAVSetCookieEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_SETCOOKIE 11

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireSetCookie(LPSTR &lpszName, LPSTR &lpszValue, LPSTR &lpszExpires, LPSTR &lpszDomain, LPSTR &lpszPath, BOOL &bSecure);
class CalDAVSetCookieEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Name();

  const QString &Value();

  const QString &Expires();

  const QString &Domain();

  const QString &Path();

  bool Secure();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SetCookie(CalDAVSetCookieEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSetCookie(CalDAVSetCookieEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This 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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded;
const char *CertSubject;
const char *CertIssuer;
const char *Status;
int Accept; int reserved; } CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCSTR CertEncoded; INT lenCertEncoded;
LPCWSTR CertSubject;
LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
LPCWSTR Status;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 12

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);
class CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams {
public:
  const QByteArray &CertEncoded();

  const QString &CertSubject();

  const QString &CertIssuer();

  const QString &Status();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLServerAuthentication(CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(CalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLStatus(CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Message; int reserved; } CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLStatus(CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Message; INT reserved; } CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_SSLSTATUS 13

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireSSLStatus(LPSTR &lpszMessage);
class CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Message();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLStatus(CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLStatus(CalDAVSSLStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (CalDAV Class)

This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireStartTransfer(CalDAVStartTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction; int reserved; } CalDAVStartTransferEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireStartTransfer(CalDAVStartTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction; INT reserved; } CalDAVStartTransferEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_STARTTRANSFER 14

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireStartTransfer(INT &iDirection);
class CalDAVStartTransferEventParams {
public:
  int Direction();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void StartTransfer(CalDAVStartTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireStartTransfer(CalDAVStartTransferEventParams *e) {...}

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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireStatus(CalDAVStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *HTTPVersion;
int StatusCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } CalDAVStatusEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireStatus(CalDAVStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR HTTPVersion;
INT StatusCode;
LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } CalDAVStatusEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_STATUS 15

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireStatus(LPSTR &lpszHTTPVersion, INT &iStatusCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);
class CalDAVStatusEventParams {
public:
  const QString &HTTPVersion();

  int StatusCode();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Status(CalDAVStatusEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireStatus(CalDAVStatusEventParams *e) {...}

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 (CalDAV Class)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTransfer(CalDAVTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction;
int64 BytesTransferred;
int PercentDone;
const char *Text; int lenText; int reserved; } CalDAVTransferEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTransfer(CalDAVTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction;
LONG64 BytesTransferred;
INT PercentDone;
LPCSTR Text; INT lenText; INT reserved; } CalDAVTransferEventParams;
#define EID_CALDAV_TRANSFER 16

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireTransfer(INT &iDirection, LONG64 &lBytesTransferred, INT &iPercentDone, LPSTR &lpText, INT &lenText);
class CalDAVTransferEventParams {
public:
  int Direction();

  qint64 BytesTransferred();

  int PercentDone();

  const QByteArray &Text();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Transfer(CalDAVTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CalDAV and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTransfer(CalDAVTransferEventParams *e) {...}

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.

CalAlarm Type

An alarm related to a calendar event.

Syntax

IPWorksCalAlarm (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

An Alarm calendar component is a grouping of fields that set up a reminder or an alarm for an event or to-do. For example, it may be used to define a reminder for a pending event or an overdue to-do.

The CalAlarm calendar component MUST include the Action and Trigger fields. The Action field further constrains the CalAlarm in the following ways:

When the Action is aAudio, the alarm can optionally include an Attachment field, containing a base-64 encoded binary audio file to be played when the alarm is triggered.

When the Action is aDisplay, the alarm MUST also include the Message field, which contains the text to be displayed when the alarm is triggered.

When the Action is aEmail, the alarm MUST include the Message field, which contains the text to be used as the message body, the Subject field, which contains the text to be used as the message subject, and the Recipient field, which contains the email address of the person intended to receive the message.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Action
int

Default Value: 0

This field determines what the CalDAV server will do when the alarm Trigger is reached. The following table explains the possible alarm actions:

aAudio (0)Specifies an alarm that causes a sound to be played to alert the user. You may attach a custom sound file using the Attachment field.
aDisplay (1)Specifies an alarm that causes a visual alert to be displayed to the user. If Action is set to this value, you must also set the Message field with the message to be displayed.
aEmail (2) Instructs the CalDAV sever to email a specified Recipient. In this case, the Message field will contain the message body of the email and the Subject field should contain the subject line.

Attachment
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains a sound file attached to the alarm. If the Action is set to aAudio, this field may optionally contain a base-64 encoded binary sound file to be played. The AttachmentType field indicates the data type of the attached file.

AttachmentType
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains the MIME-Type of the attachment. If the Action is set to aAudio or aEmail the Attachment property may optionally contain a base-64 binary encoded attachment. The AttachmentType field is used to tell the CalDAV server what type of binary file it is receiving. This field is a standard MIME content type, in the format "type/sub-type". The most common audio types are shown in the table below:

AttachmentType File Extension Description
audio/basic au, snd basic audio, 8-bit u-law PCM.
audio/mid mid, rmi MIDI music data
audio/mpeg mp2, mp3 MPEG-1 Audio Layer II and III.
audio/x-aiff aiff, aif, aifcMacintosh audio format
audio/x-mp4a-latm m4a MPEG-4 Audio
audio/x-pn-realaudio ra, ram Realaudio
audio/x-wav wav Microsoft waveform audio
audio/x-ms-wma wma Windows Media Audio (Microsoft)

You may use standard MIME content-types for any other file type you wish to submit in the Attachment field. If Attachment is specified but AttachmentType is left blank, no format type will be submitted with the Attachment and the CalDAV server may (or may not) attempt to determine the data type itself.

Duration
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains the interval between repeating alarms. This field is only used when an alarm is set to Repeat multiple times. It is specified in the form of a Duration data type. Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

P is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation.
W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
T is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation.
H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.
For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

The following is an example of an alarm that repeats 4 additional times after the initial Trigger, with a 5-minute delay between each alarm: CalDav.Trigger = "-PT10M"; CalDAV.Alarm.Repeat = 4; CalDAV.Duration = "PT5M" CalDAV.Action = aDisplay;

If Duration is specified, Repeat MUST also be specified.

Message
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains a message used to alert the user when this alarm is triggered. If the Action is set to aDisplay, this field must contain the message that is to be displayed to the user. If Action is set to aEmail this field will contain the message body of the email that is sent to the Recipient. For instance: CalDAV.Alarm.Action = aEmail; CalDAV.Alarm.Recipient = "mailto:john_doe@example.com"; CalDAV.Alarm.Message = "A draft agenda needs to be sent out to the attendees to the weekly managers meeting (MGR-LIST)."; CalDAV.Alarm.Subject = "REMINDER: Send agenda for weekly staff meeting."; or CalDAV.Alarm.Action = aDisplay; CalDAV.Alarm.Message = "REMINDER: Send agenda for weekly staff meeting."; Message is not used for the aAudio alarm Action.

Recipient
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains the email address of the person to be alerted when this alarm is triggered. If Action is set to aEmail this field must contain one or more comma-separated email addresses to which the email alarm is to be sent. For instance: CalDAV.Alarm.Action = aEmail; CalDAV.Alarm.Recipient = "mailto:john_doe@example.com"; CalDAV.Alarm.Message = "A draft agenda needs to be sent out to the attendees to the weekly managers meeting (MGR-LIST)."; CalDAV.Alarm.Subject = "REMINDER: Send agenda for weekly staff meeting."; Recipient is not used for the aAudio or aDisplay alarm Actions.

Repeat
int

Default Value: 0

This field contains the number of times the alarm is to be repeated after the initial trigger.

This field defines the number of times an alarm should be repeated after its initial Trigger. If the alarm triggers more than once, then this property MUST be specified along with the Duration field.

Subject
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains the subject of the message used to alert the user when this alarm is triggered. If Action is set to aEmail this field will contain the subject the email that is sent to the Recipient. For instance: CalDAV.Alarm.Action = aEmail; CalDAV.Alarm.Recipient = "mailto:john_doe@example.com"; CalDAV.Alarm.Message = "A draft agenda needs to be sent out to the attendees to the weekly managers meeting (MGR-LIST)."; CalDAV.Alarm.Subject = "REMINDER: Send agenda for weekly staff meeting."; Subject is not used for the aAudio or aDisplay alarm Actions.

Trigger
char*

Default Value: ""

This field contains the time when the alarm is triggered.

The Trigger is represented as a duration relative to the start of an event. The format is (+/-)P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

P is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation.
W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
T is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation.
H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.
Either a positive or negative duration may be specified for the Trigger field. An alarm with a positive duration is triggered after the associated start of the event (or to-do). An alarm with a negative duration is triggered before the start of the event. For instance, the following code instructs an alarm to fire 10 minutes before the event starts: CalDAV.Alarm.Trigger = "-PT10M"

For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

BusyType
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Indicates the busy status of the corresponding BusyRange. A calendar may use custom values for the BusyType, but the standard values include:

  • BUSY
  • FREE
  • BUSY-TENTATIVE
  • BUSY-UNAVAILABLE

Constructors

CalFreeBusy()

CalLock Type

Group of fields used when locking and unlocking a calendar resource.

Syntax

IPWorksCalLock (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

LockType, Owner, Scope Timeout, and Token are used when locking and unlocking a calendar resource. You may lock the whole calendar, or only a single event within the calendar, depending on the URI you use when locking. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will set all of these fields to the values returned in the server's response. The lock Token is then passed along when copying or moving a calendar event.

The following fields are available:

Fields

LockType
char*

Default Value: "write"

The type of the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the LockType may be set to the type of lock being requested. Currently, the class only supports requesting locks of type "write", although the protocol defines an optional "read" lock. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will set the LockType field to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Owner
char*

Default Value: ""

The principle that owns the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock Owner may be set to the name of a principle or group of principles that will own the lock. If no owner is specified, the server will automatically associate the lock with the requesting principle. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will set the Owner field to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Scope
char*

Default Value: ""

The scope of the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock Scope may be set to the type of scope needed for the lock. Currently the class will only allow two types of scopes to be requested:

"exclusive"The lock belongs exclusively to the requesting principle. No other principle may modify the locked resource URI.
"shared"The locked resource may not be modified by non-trusted principles. Users who have access rights, however, may request a shared lock which they can then use to modify or operate on the resource.

If no scope is specified, the protocol default scope, "exclusive", will be requested. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will set the Scope field to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Timeout
int

Default Value: 0

The time to live for the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock Timeout may be set to a specific amount of time needed for the locked operation to take place. The timeout is used to determine how long the lock may exist before the server automatically unlocks the resource URI. If Timeout of 0 is specified, the server will use a default timeout. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the class will set the Lock Timeout field to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Token
char*

Default Value: ""

The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock Token may be set to the token returned by a previous lock operation. This is useful when renewing a timeout. The server will respond with a new timeout value, which will be stored in Timeout. If the lock request is not a lock refresh, Token must be empty, and will be parsed out of the server response after a successful LockCalendar operation.

Constructors

CalLock()

CalRecurrence Type

Defines the recurrence set for an event.

Syntax

IPWorksCalRecurrence (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the Rule, Dates, ExceptionRule, and ExceptionDates fields contained within the recurring event. The StartDate property defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The starting date SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if specified. The recurrence set generated with a start date that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined. The final recurrence set is generated by gathering all of the start DATE-TIME values generated by any of the specified Rule and Dates fields, and then excluding any start DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule or ExceptionDates fields. This implies that DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule and ExceptionDates fields take precedence over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., Dates and Rule). When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence Rule and Dates fields, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Dates
char*

Default Value: ""

Individual dates on which the event will recur.

This field is used if you wish to denote specific, individual dates on which the event recurs. If you have an event that occurs monthly or weekly or on some other time interval, use the Rule field instead.

This field is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this field will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

ExceptionDates
char*

Default Value: ""

Defines the list of DATE-TIME exceptions to the recurrence set.

If the ExceptionDates and ExceptionRule are specified, they are used in computing the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the Rule, Dates, ExceptionRule, and ExceptionDates fields contained within the recurring event. The StartDate property defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The starting date SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if specified. The recurrence set generated with a start date that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined. The final recurrence set is generated by gathering all of the start DATE-TIME values generated by any of the specified Rule and Dates fields, and then excluding any start DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule or ExceptionDates fields. This implies that DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule and ExceptionDates fields take precedence over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., Dates and Rule). When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence Rule and Dates fields, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This field is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this field will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

ExceptionRule
char*

Default Value: ""

Defines a rule or repeating pattern for an exception to the recurrence set.

If the ExceptionDates and ExceptionRule are specified, they are used in computing the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the Rule, Dates, ExceptionRule, and ExceptionDates fields contained within the recurring event. The StartDate property defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The starting date SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if specified. The recurrence set generated with a start date that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined.

This implies that DATE-TIME values specified by the ExceptionRule and ExceptionDates fields take precedence over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., Dates and Rule). When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence Rule and Dates fields, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

This value type is a structured value consisting of a list of one or more recurrence grammar parts. Each rule part is defined by a NAME=VALUE pair. The rule parts are separated from each other by the SEMICOLON character. The rule parts are not ordered in any particular sequence. Individual rule parts MUST only be specified once.

The table below shows the supported rules and their usage.

FREQ The FREQ rule part identifies the type of recurrence rule. This rule part MUST be specified in the recurrence rule. Valid values include SECONDLY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a second or more; MINUTELY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a minute or more; HOURLY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of an hour or more; DAILY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a day or more; WEEKLY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a week or more; MONTHLY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a month or more; and YEARLY, to specify repeating events based on an interval of a year or more.
UNTIL The UNTIL rule part defines a DATE (YYYYMMDD) or DATE-TIME (YYYYMMDDThhmmss) value that bounds the recurrence rule in an inclusive manner. If the value specified by UNTIL is synchronized with the specified recurrence, this DATE or DATE-TIME becomes the last instance of the recurrence. The value of the UNTIL rule part MUST have the same value type as the StartDate property. Furthermore, if the StartDate is specified as a date with local time, then the UNTIL rule part MUST also be specified as a date with local time. If the StartDate property is specified as a date with UTC time or a date with local time and time zone reference, then the UNTIL rule part MUST be specified as a date with UTC time. If not present, and the COUNT rule part is also not present, the "Rule" is considered to repeat forever.
COUNT The COUNT rule part defines the number of occurrences at which to range-bound the recurrence. The StartDate property value always counts as the first occurrence.
INTERVAL Positive integer representing at which intervals the recurrence rule repeats. The default value is "1", meaning every second for a SECONDLY rule, every minute for a MINUTELY rule, every hour for an HOURLY rule, etc. For example, within a DAILY rule, a value of "8" means every eight days.
BYSECOND The BYSECOND rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of seconds within a minute. Valid values are 0 to 60.
BYMINUTE The BYMINUTE rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of minutes within an hour. Valid values are 0 to 59.
BYHOUR The BYHOUR rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of hours of the day. Valid values are 0 to 23.
BYDAY The BYDAY rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of days of the week; SU indicates Sunday; MO indicates Monday; TU indicates Tuesday; WE indicates Wednesday; TH indicates Thursday; FR indicates Friday; and SA indicates Saturday. Each BYDAY value can also be preceded by a positive (+n) or negative (-n) integer. If present, this indicates the nth occurrence of a specific day within the MONTHLY or YEARLY Rule.
BYMONTHDAY The BYMONTHDAY rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of days of the month. Valid values are 1 to 31 or -31 to -1. For example, -10 represents the tenth to the last day of the month. The BYMONTHDAY rule part MUST NOT be specified when the FREQ rule part is set to WEEKLY.
BYYEARDAY The BYYEARDAY rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of days of the year. Valid values are 1 to 366 or -366 to -1. For example, -1 represents the last day of the year (December 31st) and -306 represents the 306th to the last day of the year (March 1st). The BYYEARDAY rule part MUST NOT be specified when the FREQ rule part is set to DAILY, WEEKLY, or MONTHLY.
BYWEEKNO The BYWEEKNO rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of ordinals specifying weeks of the year. Valid values are 1 to 53 or -53 to -1. This corresponds to weeks according to week numbering as defined in ISO.8601.2004. A week is defined as a seven day period, starting on the day of the week defined to be the week start (see WKST). Week number one of the calendar year is the first week that contains at least four (4) days in that calendar year. This rule part MUST NOT be used when the FREQ rule part is set to anything other than YEARLY. For example, 3 represents the third week of the year.
BYMONTH The BYMONTH rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of months of the year. Valid values are 1 to 12.
WKST Specifies the day on which the workweek starts. Valid values are MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, and SU. This is significant when a WEEKLY Rule has an interval greater than 1, and a BYDAY rule part is specified. This is also significant when in a YEARLY Rule when a BYWEEKNO rule part is specified. The default value is MO.
BYSETPOSThe BYSETPOS rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of values that corresponds to the nth occurrence within the set of recurrence instances specified by the rule. BYSETPOS operates on a set of recurrence instances in one interval of the recurrence rule. For example, in a WEEKLY rule, the interval would be one week A set of recurrence instances starts at the beginning of the interval defined by the FREQ rule part. Valid values are 1 to 366 or -366 to -1. It MUST only be used in conjunction with another BYxxx rule part. For example "the last work day of the month" could be represented as: FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYSETPOS=-1. Each BYSETPOS value can include a positive (+n) or negative (-n) integer. If present, this indicates the nth occurrence of the specific occurrence within the set of occurrences specified by the rule.
Note: The BYSECOND, BYMINUTE and BYHOUR rule parts MUST NOT be specified when the associated StartDate property is specified.

Information not contained in the Rule necessary to determine the various recurrence instance start time and dates are derived from the StartDate property. For example, "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=1" doesn't specify a specific day within the month or a time. This information would be the same as what is specified for the StartDate property.

BYxxx rule parts modify the recurrence in some manner. BYxxx rule parts for a period of time that is the same or greater than the frequency generally reduce or limit the number of occurrences of the recurrence generated. For example, "FREQ=DAILY;BYMONTH=1" reduces the number of recurrence instances from all days (if BYMONTH rule part is not present) to all days in January. BYxxx rule parts for a period of time less than the frequency generally increase or expand the number of occurrences of the recurrence. For example, "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=1,2" increases the number of days within the yearly recurrence set from 1 (if BYMONTH rule part is not present) to 2.

If multiple BYxxx rule parts are specified, then after evaluating the specified FREQ and INTERVAL rule parts, the BYxxx rule parts are applied to the current set of evaluated occurrences in the following order: BYMONTH, BYWEEKNO, BYYEARDAY, BYMONTHDAY, BYDAY, BYHOUR, BYMINUTE, BYSECOND and BYSETPOS; then COUNT and UNTIL are evaluated.

This field is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this field will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

RecurrenceId
char*

Default Value: ""

Identifies a recurring event.

This field is used in conjunction with the CalDAV UID and Sequence properties to identify a specific instance of a recurring event, todo, or journal. The value of this field is the value of the CalDAV StartDate property of the original recurrence instance.

This field is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this field will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

Rule
char*

Default Value: ""

This field defines the recurrence rule for the event.

This value type is a structured value consisting of a list of one or more recurrence grammar parts. Each rule part is defined by a NAME=VALUE pair. The rule parts are separated from each other by the SEMICOLON character. The rule parts are not ordered in any particular sequence. Individual rule parts MUST only be specified once.

UNTIL The UNTIL rule part defines a DATE (YYYYMMDD) or DATE-TIME (YYYYMMDDThhmmss) value that bounds the recurrence rule in an inclusive manner. If the value specified by UNTIL is synchronized with the specified recurrence, this DATE or DATE-TIME becomes the last instance of the recurrence. The value of the UNTIL rule part MUST have the same value type as the StartDate property. Furthermore, if the StartDate is specified as a date with local time, then the UNTIL rule part MUST also be specified as a date with local time. If the StartDate property is specified as a date with UTC time or a date with local time and time zone reference, then the UNTIL rule part MUST be specified as a date with UTC time. If not present, and the COUNT rule part is also not present, the "Rule" is considered to repeat forever.

Constructors

CalRecurrence()

CalReportFilter Type

Used to restrict the results of a Report returned from the CalDAV server.

Syntax

IPWorksCalReportFilter (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

You can restrict results to only events within a specified time range (using StartDate and EndDate), to only recurring events within a specified time range (using RecurStart and RecurEnd), and to events with an alarm set to go off within a specified time range. (using AlarmStart and AlarmEnd). You can also restrict results to only those events which contain a specific Property (either by property name, or name and a specific value). The EventType field determines what kind of events are returned (events, todo lists, journal entries, or free/busy time).

The following fields are available:

Fields

AlarmEnd
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the events returned in the report to only those with an alarm set in the range specified by AlarmStart and AlarmEnd. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

AlarmStart
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the events returned in the report to only those with an alarm set in the range specified by AlarmStart and AlarmEnd. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

CustomFilter
char*

Default Value: ""

Allows the user to specify his own filter XML. This property must be properly-formed XML, and must be a supported CalDAV filter or the class fails with an error.

EndDate
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the events returned in the report to only those which occur in the time range specified by StartDate and EndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

EventType
int

Default Value: 0

Indicates the type of calendar object resources to return in a Report. Some calendar servers (Google in particular) do not support vtAll, so you must submit a report for each type of event you wish to retrieve a report on.

Property
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the events returned in a Report to only those which contain a matching property name and value. For instance, setting the Property filter to "ORGANIZER" will return only events that have an organizer specified. Setting the Property filter to "ORGANIZER=mailto:JohnSmith@example.com" will return only resources where "mailto:JohnSmith@example.com" is the specified organizer. Likewise, you can retrieve a report on a single event by setting the Property filter with the UID of the needed resource. For example: Property = "UID=DC6C50A017428C5216A2F1CD@example.com";.

You may add multiple properties to the filter by separating them with commas. For example: "ORGANIZER=mailto:JohnSmith@example.com, STATUS=CANCELLED".

For more advanced filtering, you may specify your own CustomFilter.

RecurEnd
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Use of the CalDAV limit-recurrence-set element causes the server to only return overridden recurrence components that overlap the time range specified by RecurStart and RecurEnd or that affect other instances that overlap the time range specified by StartDate and EndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Note that the RecurEnd field cannot be used when ReturnCalendarData is False.

RecurStart
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Use of the CalDAV limit-recurrence-set element causes the server to only return overridden recurrence components that overlap the time range specified by RecurStart and RecurEnd or that affect other instances that overlap the time range specified by StartDate and EndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Note that the RecurStart field cannot be used when ReturnCalendarData is False.

ReturnCalendarData
int

Default Value: TRUE

Controls whether the contents of each calendar event is returned in the report.

If ReturnCalendarData is True (default), a report will contain the full contents of each event in the calendar. This can be a substantially large amount of data. However if ReturnCalendarData is False, the report returned will contain only URIs and ETags of each calendar event. You may compare the URIs against a cached list and retrieve any new URIs individually via the CalDAV.GetCalendarEvent method. If the ETag for a cached URI has changed, it means that the calendar event has changed, and needs to be retrieved.

Note that this filter is not compatible with the RecurStart and RecurEnd fields.

StartDate
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the events returned in the report to only those which occur in the time range specified by StartDate and EndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

UID
char*

Default Value: ""

Limits the recurring events returned in the report to only those with the specified UID.

Constructors

CalReportFilter()

CalTimezone Type

Specifies a time zone on a calendar collection.

Syntax

IPWorksCalTimezone (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

The CalDAV CalTimezone type is used to specify the time zone the server should rely on to resolve "date" values and "date with local time" values (i.e., floating time) to "date with UTC time" values. The server will require this information to determine if a calendar component scheduled with "date" values or "date with local time" values overlaps a time range specified in a GetCalendarReport. In the absence of this property, the server may rely on a time zone of its choosing.

The following fields are available:

Fields

DSTName
char*

Default Value: ""

The customary name for the daylight-savings time zone. This could be used for displaying dates, and there is no restriction to the format. For instance, Eastern Daylight Time may be represented as "EDT", "Eastern Daylight Time (US & Canada)", or any other arbitrary representation.

The following example shows the CalTimezone set to Eastern time. CalDAV.Timezone.TimezoneId = "US-Eastern"; CalDAV.Timezone.URL = "http://zones.example.com/tz/America-New_York.ics" CalDAV.Timezone.StdName = "Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada)"; CalDAV.Timezone.StdStart = "20071104T020000"; CalDAV.Timezone.StdOffsetFrom = "-400"; CalDAV.Timezone.StdOffsetTo = "-500"; CalDAV.Timezone.StdRule = "FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=1SU;BYMONTH=11"; CalDAV.TimeZone.DSTName = "Eastern Daylight Time (US & Canada)"; CalDAV.TimeZone.DSTStart = "20070311T020000"; CalDAV.TimeZone.DSTOffsetFrom = "-500"; CalDAV.TimeZone.DSTOffsetTo = "-400"; CalDAV.TimeZone.DSTRule = "FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=2SU;BYMONTH=3";

DSTOffsetFrom
char*

Default Value: ""

The UTC offset that is in use when the onset of this time zone observance begins. DSTOffsetFrom is combined with DSTStart to define the effective onset for the daylight-time time zone definition.

This field, along with Value, stores the cookie that is to be sent to the server. The SetCookie event displays the cookies sent by the server and their properties.

Path
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

A path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the path field will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified by URLPath as the cookie path.

Secure
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

The security flag of the received cookie. This field specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this field is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

Value
char*

Default Value: ""

The value of the cookie. A corresponding value is associated with the cookie specified by Name. This property holds that value.

The SetCookie event provides the cookies set by the server.

HTTPCookie(const char* lpszName, const char* lpszValue)

Proxy Type

The proxy the component will connect to.

Syntax

IPWorksProxy (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.

The following fields are available:

Fields

AuthScheme
int

Default Value: 0

The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.

AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.

By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the class will attempt basic authentication.

If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.

For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.

AutoDetect
int

Default Value: FALSE

Whether to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.

Password
char*

Default Value: ""

A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Port
int

Default Value: 80

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.

Server
char*

Default Value: ""

If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.

If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

SSL
int

Default Value: 0

When to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:

psAutomatic (0)Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the class will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the class will use the psNever option.
psAlways (1)The connection is always SSL-enabled.
psNever (2)The connection is not SSL-enabled.
psTunnel (3)The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy.

User
char*

Default Value: ""

A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Constructors

Proxy()
Proxy(const char* lpszServer, int iPort)
Proxy(const char* lpszServer, int iPort, const char* lpszUser, const char* lpszPassword)

IPWorksList Type

Syntax

IPWorksList<T> (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

IPWorksList is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type T, where T is one of the custom types supported by the CalDAV class.

Methods

GetCount This method returns the current size of the collection.

int GetCount() {}

SetCount This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection.

int SetCount(int count) {}

Get This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified.

T* Get(int index) {}

Set This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class.

T* Set(int index, T* value) {}

Config Settings (CalDAV Class)

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

CalDAV Config Settings

AttendeeFormat:   Specifies the format of the Attendees property.

The following values are supported:

0 (default)Attendee property is formatted as a comma-separated list
1Attendee property is formatted as provided from the server
This setting determines the format of Attendees after calling GetEvent.

When AttendeeFormat is set to 0, the Attendees property is retrieved as a comma separated list, where each email address is in the mailto URI format (as defined in RFC2368). For instance: calDAV.Config("AttendeeFormat=0"); calDAV.GetEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); Console.WriteLine(calDAV.Attendees); //outputs: // mailto:johnsmith@example.com,mailto:janedoe@test.com When AttendeeFormat is set to 1, the Attendees property is retrieved in the raw format provided from the server. For instance: calDAV.Config("AttendeeFormat=1"); calDAV.GetEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); Console.WriteLine(calDAV.Attendees); //outputs: // CN=johnsmith;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;RSVP=TRUE;LANGUAGE=en;SCHEDULE-STATUS=1.0:mailto:johnsmith@example.com, // CN=janedoe;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;RSVP=TRUE;LANGUAGE=en;SCHEDULE-STATUS=1.0:mailto:janedoe@test.com Note: the format may vary when AttendeeFormat is set to 1.

AuthScheme:   The authentication scheme to use for server authorization.

This setting is used to support non-standard CalDAV server authentication. The following values are supported:

0Basic
1Digest
2Proprietary
3None
4NTLM
Use the AuthScheme setting to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set. By default, CalDav servers use Basic authentication, and if the User and Password properties are set, the class will attempt basic authentication. Digest, NTLM, and Negotiate authentication are also available to support custom CalDAV server implementations.

Note that if the AuthScheme is set to Proprietary (2) then the authorization token must be supplied through Authorization setting.

For security purposes, changing the value of this property will cause the class to clear the values of User, Password and Authorization.

BuildEvent:   Builds the current event for a multi-event calendar entry.

Calling this setting signals the component to build the current event for a multi-event calendar entry (typically a recurring event with one or more 'exception' events).

Note: this setting is used in conjunction with StartCalendar and EndCalendar.

Created:   Date and time calendar event was created.

This setting specifies the date and time that the calendar event was created in the calendar store. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Depth:   The depth associated with the current operation.

This setting defines how deep to operate within a collection. When performing certain operations on resource collections, the class will use Depth to instruct the server on how deep to operate within the collection. Possible values are:

0 (Unspecified - default)Unspecified. The server will use the protocol default depth for the operation (this is normally "infinity").
1 (Resource Only)The server will operate only on the collection resource URI, and not on any of its internal member resources.
2 (Immediate Children)The server will operate on the collection resource URI and all of its immediate member resources (but on none of their member resources).
3 Infinity (Infinity)The server will recursively operate on the target resource URI and all of its internal member URIs through all levels of the collection hierarchy.

Depth is applicable to the following methods: LockCalendar, MoveEvent, CopyEvent, and GetCalendarReport

EndCalendar:   Signifies the end of a multi-event calendar entry.

This setting signifies the end of a multi-event calendar entry (typically a recurring event with one or more 'exception' events). Calling this setting returns the data for the calendar, which can then be imported using the ImportICS method.

Note: this setting is used in conjunction with BuildEvent and StartCalendar.

ExpandRecurringEvents:   Instructs the component to return all instances of a recurring event within a timeframe.

When false (default), the CalDAV server will return only a single response for each recurring event along with the recurrence rules. If this configuration option is set to true the CalDAV server will return a response for each instance of a recurring event during a given time interval. The ReportFilter.RecurStart and ReportFilter.RecurEnd fields must also be set to use this functionality. Please see the example code below: calDAV.ReportFilter.StartDate = "20120130T000000Z"; calDAV.ReportFilter.EndDate = "20120203T235959Z"; calDAV.ReportFilter.RecurStart = calDAV.ReportFilter.StartDate; calDAV.ReportFilter.RecurEnd = calDAV.ReportFilter.EndDate; calDAV.Config("ExpandRecurringEvents=true"); calDAV.ReportFilter.ReturnCalendarData = true; calDAV.ReportFilter.EventType = VEventTypes.vtAll; calDAV.GetCalendarReport("http://www.some-url.com/caldav.php/events");

ProductId:   Specifies the identifier for the product that created the iCalendar object.

The vendor of the implementation should assure that this is a globally unique identifier.

This setting should not be used to alter the interpretation of a calendar resource. For example, it is not to be used to further the understanding of non-standard properties.

This setting is required to have a value when creating a new calendar collection resource via the CreateCalendar method. For all others it is optional.

RecurrenceExceptionDatesAttrs:   Specifies the attributes for the exception dates of a recurring event.

This setting specifies the attributes for the exception dates of a recurring event. The setting should be populated with a COMMA-separated list of one or more attributes, where each attribute is applied to the corresponding date listed in the RecurrenceExceptionDates property.

The table below shows some examples of supported values.

VALUE=DATE,VALUE=DATE Attributes for the FIRST and SECOND exception dates.
VALUE=DATE,Attribute for the FIRST exception date.
,VALUE=DATEAttribute for the SECOND exception date.

StartCalendar:   Signifies the beginning of a multi-event calendar entry.

This setting signifies the beginning of a multi-event calendar entry (typically a recurring event with one or more 'exception' events).

Note: this setting is used in conjunction with BuildEvent and EndCalendar.

WebDAV Config Settings

EncodeURL:   If set to true the URL will be encoded by the class.

The default value of this configuration setting is False. If set to True, the URL passed to the class will be URL encoded.

IsDir[i]:   Whether or not the resource at the specified index is a directory.

After calling ListDirectory, this configuration setting can be queried to determine whether or not the resource at index i is a directory (collection): webdav.ListDirectory("https://localhost/DAV/"); bool isDir = Convert.ToBoolean(webdav.Config("IsDir[0]"));

An exception will be thrown if an invalid index is specified.

TransferredData:   Contains the contents of the last response from the server.

This setting contains the contents of the last response from the server. If the LocalFile is empty, the data is accumulated in TransferredData and also can be received in the Transfer event. Otherwise, this setting returns an empty string.

TransferredDataLimit:   The maximum amount of data to be transferred.

This setting contains the maximum amount of data to be transferred. The default value is 0, which will not impose any limits on the amount of data accumulated in the TransferredData setting.

XChildCount:   The number of child elements of the current element.

This configuration settings specifies the number of child attributes of the current element. The XChild configuration settings will be indexed from 0 to (XChildCount - 1).

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XChildName[i]:   The name of the child element.

This configuration setting provides the name of the i-th child element of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XChildXText[i]:   The inner text of the child element.

This configuration setting provides the inner text of the i-th child element of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XElement:   The name of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the name of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XParent:   The parent of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the parent of the current element.

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XPath:   Provides a way to point to a specific element in the returned XML or JSON response.

The XPath setting allows you to point to specific elements in the XML or JSON response.

When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XText, XParent, XSubTree, XChildCount, XChildName[i], and XChildXText[i] providing other properties of the element.

XPath syntax is available for both XML and JSON documents. An XPath is a series of one or more element accessors separated by the / character, for example, /A/B/C/D. An XPath can be absolute (i.e., it starts with /), or it can be relative to the current XPath location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor, which operates relative to the current location specified by the XPath accessors, which proceed it in the overall XPath string:

Accessor Description
name The first element with a particular name. Can be *.
[i] The i-th element.
name[i] The i-th element with a particular name.
[last()] The last element.
[last()-i] The element i before the last element.
name[@attrname="attrvalue"]The first element with a particular name that contains the specified attribute-value pair.

Supports single and double quotes. (XML Only)

. The current element.
.. The parent element.
Note: XPath indices are 1-based.

For example, assume the following XML and JSON responses.

XML:

<firstlevel>
  <one>value</one>
  <two>
    <item>first</item>
    <item>second</item>
  </two>
  <three>value three</three>
</firstlevel>

JSON:

{
  "firstlevel": {
    "one": "value",
    "two": ["first", "second"],
    "three": "value three"
  }
}

The following are examples of valid XPaths for these responses:

DescriptionXML XPath JSON XPath
Document root / /json
Specific element /firstlevel/one /json/firstlevel/one
i-th child /firstlevel/two/item[2]/json/firstlevel/two/[2]

This list is not exhaustive, but it provides a general idea of the possibilities.

XSubTree:   A snapshot of the current element in the document.

This configuration setting provides the entirety of the current element (including its subelements).

The current element is specified through the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

XText:   The text of the current element.

This configuration setting provides the inner text of the current element.

The current element is specified in the XPath configuration setting. This configuration setting is read-only.

HTTP Config Settings

AcceptEncoding:   Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports.

When AllowHTTPCompression is True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This configuration setting allows you to change the value of the Accept-Encoding header. Note: The class only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.

AllowHTTPCompression:   This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

This configuration setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to True (default), the class will accept compressed data. It then will uncompress the data it has received. The class will handle data compressed by both gzip and deflate compression algorithms.

When True, the class 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.

AllowHTTPFallback:   Whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1.

This configuration setting controls whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fall back to HTTP/1.1 when the server does not support HTTP/2. This setting is applicable only when HTTPVersion is set to "2.0".

If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

Append:   Whether to append data to LocalFile.

This configuration setting determines whether data will be appended when writing to LocalFile. When set to True, downloaded data will be appended to LocalFile. This may be used in conjunction with Range to resume a failed download. This is applicable only when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

Authorization:   The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

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.

This property is provided so that the HTTP class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.

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]".

BytesTransferred:   Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data.

This configuration setting returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, before the component processes the data, whether it is chunked or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

ChunkSize:   Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding.

This is applicable only when UseChunkedEncoding is True. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.

CompressHTTPRequest:   Set to true to compress the body of a PUT or POST request.

If set to True, the body of a PUT or POST request will be compressed into gzip format before sending the request. The "Content-Encoding" header is also added to the outgoing request.

The default value is False.

EncodeURL:   If set to True the URL will be encoded by the class.

If set to True, the URL passed to the class will be URL encoded. The default value is False.

FollowRedirects:   Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to 1 (always), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

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 class 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 class fails with an error instead.

Following are the valid options:

  • 0 - Never
  • 1 - Always
  • 2 - Same Scheme

GetOn302Redirect:   If set to True the class will perform a GET on the new location.

The default value is False. If set to True, the class will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise, it will use the same HTTP method again.

HTTP2HeadersWithoutIndexing:   HTTP2 headers that should not update the dynamic header table with incremental indexing.

HTTP/2 servers maintain a dynamic table of headers and values seen over the course of a connection. Typically, these headers are inserted into the table through incremental indexing (also known as HPACK, defined in RFC 7541). To tell the component not to use incremental indexing for certain headers, and thus not update the dynamic table, set this configuration option to a comma-delimited list of the header names.

HTTPVersion:   The version of HTTP used by the class.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the class. Possible values are as follows:

  • "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 class 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.

IfModifiedSince:   A date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

If this setting contains a nonempty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: if the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the component throws an exception

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example: Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

KeepAlive:   Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.

If true, the component will not send the Connection: Close header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note: Not all servers support persistent connections. If false, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is false.

KerberosSPN:   The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.

If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

This configuration setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Log event. Possible values are as follows:

0 (None) No events are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data are logged.

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

MaxRedirectAttempts:   Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request.

When FollowRedirects is set to any value other than frNever, the class will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20.

NegotiatedHTTPVersion:   The negotiated HTTP version.

This configuration setting may be queried after the request is complete to indicate the HTTP version used. When HTTPVersion is set to "2.0" (if the server does not support "2.0"), then the class will fall back to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which version was used.

OtherHeaders:   Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

This configuration setting can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers.

The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .

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 class beyond what is provided.

ProxyAuthorization:   The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server.

This is similar to the Authorization configuration setting, but is used for proxy authorization. If this configuration setting contains a nonempty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy Authorization information to the server. If User and Password are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by AuthScheme.

ProxyAuthScheme:   The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPassword:   A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPort:   Port for the proxy server (default 80).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyServer:   Name or IP address of a proxy server (optional).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

SentHeaders:   The full set of headers as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as sent by the client.

StatusCode:   The status code of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the result code of the last response from the server.

StatusLine:   The first line of the last response from the server.

This setting contains the first line of the last response from the server. The format of the line will be [HTTP version] [Result Code] [Description].

TransferredData:   The contents of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the contents of the last response from the server.

TransferredDataLimit:   The maximum number of incoming bytes to be stored by the class.

If TransferredDataLimit is set to 0 (default), no limits are imposed. Otherwise, this reflects the maximum number of incoming bytes that can be stored by the class.

TransferredHeaders:   The full set of headers as received from the server.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.

TransferredRequest:   The full request as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the full request as sent by the client. For performance reasons, the request is not normally saved. Set this configuration setting to ON before making a request to enable it. Following are examples of this request:

.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"));

UseChunkedEncoding:   Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.

If UseChunkedEncoding is set to True, the class will use HTTP-chunked encoding when posting, if possible. HTTP-chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once. If set to False, the class will not use HTTP-chunked encoding. The default value is False.

Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.

UseIDNs:   Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.

This configuration setting specifies whether hostnames containing non-ASCII characters are encoded to internationalized domain names. When set to True, if a hostname contains non-ASCII characters, it is encoded using Punycode to an IDN (internationalized domain name).

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. In the C++ Edition for Windows, the *W version of the class must be used. For instance, DNSW or HTTPW.

UsePlatformHTTPClient:   Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client.

When using this configuration setting, if True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform (URLConnection in Java, WebRequest in .NET, or CFHTTPMessage in Mac/iOS) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments in which direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (e.g., in the Google AppEngine).

Note: This setting is applicable only to Mac/iOS editions.

UseProxyAutoConfigURL:   Whether to use a Proxy auto-config file when attempting a connection.

This configuration specifies whether the class will attempt to use the Proxy auto-config URL when establishing a connection and AutoDetect is set to True.

When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

UserAgent:   Information about the user agent (browser).

This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default setting is "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com".

Override the default with the name and version of your software.

TCPClient Config Settings

ConnectionTimeout:   Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect:   Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost:   Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPassword:   Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:

0No firewall (default setting).
1Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80.
2Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
3Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
10Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveInterval:   The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveRetryCount:   The number of keep-alive packets to be sent before the remotehost is considered disconnected.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the number of times that the keep-alive packets will be sent before the remote host is considered disconnected. The system default if this value is not specified here is 9.

Note: This configuration setting is only available in the Unix platform. It is not supported in masOS or FreeBSD.

KeepAliveTime:   The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger:   When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

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 class 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.

LingerTime:   Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

LocalHost:   The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting 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 value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class 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).

LocalPort:   The port in the local host where the class binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

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.

MaxLineLength:   The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

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.

MaxTransferRate:   The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList:   A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive:   Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:

0 IPv4 only
1 IPv6 only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

SSL Config Settings

LogSSLPackets:   Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is False, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

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.

OpenSSLCADir:   The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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.

OpenSSLCAFile:   Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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.

OpenSSLCipherList:   A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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".

OpenSSLPrngSeedData:   The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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.

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to True, the class 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 class is the same.

SSLCACertFilePaths:   The paths to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

This configuration setting specifies the paths on disk to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found, the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.

The default value is as follows:

/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem

SSLCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to be included when performing an SSL handshake.

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included with the SSLCert property. Some servers or clients require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL authentication. 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-----

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength is largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

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.

SSLClientCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see SSLServerCACerts for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when SSLAuthenticateClients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

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-----

... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLEnabledCipherSuites:   The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the class 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: obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES"); Possible 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.

SSLEnabledProtocols:   Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

This configuration setting is used to enable or disable the supported security protocols.

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:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1768 (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 class 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 class 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.

SSLEnableRenegotiation:   Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

This configuration setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This configuration setting is false by default, but it can be set to true to enable the extension.

This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLIncludeCertChain:   Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This configuration setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.

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.

SSLKeyLogFile:   The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.

This configuration setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the class 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 class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLNegotiatedCipher:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedVersion:   Returns the negotiated protocol version.

This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be ORed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name).

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLServerCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL server certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see SSLClientCACerts for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

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

... Root Cert...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms:   Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

This configuration setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the class 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 class 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.

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

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)

TLS13KeyShareGroups:   The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional roundtrip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

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"
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096"
  • "ffdhe_6144"
  • "ffdhe_8192"

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

  • "ed25519" (default)
  • "ed448" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448. This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.
TLS13SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This configuration setting should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

  • "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
  • "ecdhe_x448" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096" (default)
  • "ffdhe_6144" (default)
  • "ffdhe_8192" (default)

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method that does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class 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.
