Class Name

IPWorks_WebForm

Procedural Interface

 ipworks_webform_open();
 ipworks_webform_close($res);
 ipworks_webform_register_callback($res, $id, $function);
 ipworks_webform_get_last_error($res);
 ipworks_webform_get_last_error_code($res);
 ipworks_webform_set($res, $id, $index, $value);
 ipworks_webform_get($res, $id, $index);
 ipworks_webform_do_addcookie($res, $cookiename, $cookievalue);
 ipworks_webform_do_addformvar($res, $varname, $varvalue);
 ipworks_webform_do_config($res, $configurationstring);
 ipworks_webform_do_doevents($res);
 ipworks_webform_do_interrupt($res);
 ipworks_webform_do_reset($res);
 ipworks_webform_do_submit($res);
 ipworks_webform_do_submitto($res, $url);

Remarks

The WebForm class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The inputs to the script are provided through the FormVars properties. Once the inputs are defined, set the URL property to the address of the script and call the Submit method. Alternatively, you may call the SubmitTo method with URL as the parameter.

The output of the page or script is provided through the Transfer event.

The Encoding property allows you to specify the proper encoding for the form input (this is normally urlencoding).

Accept Property (IPWorks_WebForm Class)

This property includes a list of acceptable MIME types for the request.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getAccept();
public function setAccept($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_webform_get($res, 1 );
ipworks_webform_set($res, 1, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.

The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.

Data Type

String

Authorization Property (IPWorks_WebForm Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getAuthorization();
public function setAuthorization($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_webform_get($res, 2 );
ipworks_webform_set($res, 2, $value );

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 (IPWorks_WebForm Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getAuthScheme();
public function setAuthScheme($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_webform_get($res, 3 );
ipworks_webform_set($res, 3, $value );

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.

FollowRedirects Property (IPWorks_WebForm Class)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getFollowRedirects();
public function setFollowRedirects($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworks_webform_get($res, 20 );
ipworks_webform_set($res, 20, $value );

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.

Procedural Interface

ipworks_webform_register_callback($res, 8, array($this, 'fireRedirect'));

Parameter List

 'location'
 'accept'

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 (IPWorks_WebForm Class)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Object Oriented Interface

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.

 'certencoded'
 'certsubject'
 'certissuer'
 'status'
 'accept'

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 (IPWorks_WebForm Class)
