Remarks

The WSClient class provides a simple way to establish a WebSocket connection to a server. The server must support the WebSocket protocol. After the connection is established, data can be sent and received.

To begin, call the Connect method. After the connection is established, you can send and receive data in a variety of ways. To send data, you may call Send, SendFile, or SendText. Data are received through the DataIn event.

The class supports both plaintext (ws://) and Secure Sockets Layer (wss://) connections.

AcceptData Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getAcceptData();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 1 );

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled. When false, data reception is disabled and the DataIn event will not fire. Use the PauseData and ProcessData methods to pause and resume data reception.

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

Data Type

Boolean

Authorization Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient 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

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 2 );
ipworksssl_wsclient_set($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 (IPWorksSSL_WSClient 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

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 3 );
ipworksssl_wsclient_set($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.

Data Type

Integer

BytesSent Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

Data Type

String

FollowRedirects Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Object Oriented Interface

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

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 21 );
ipworksssl_wsclient_set($res, 21, $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.

Data Type

Integer

LineMode Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

This property indicates whether the class will fire DataIn for each line received.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLineMode();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 22 );

Default Value

false

Remarks

When LineMode is False (default), the component will fire the DataIn event once for each message received from the server. When LineMode is True, the component will instead fire DataIn for each line of data received. The maximum length of a line can be controlled by the MaxLineLength configuration setting.

Note: This is a read-only property and should be set through the ChangeLineMode method.

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

Data Type

Boolean

LocalHost Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalHost();
public function setLocalHost($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 23 );
ipworksssl_wsclient_set($res, 23, $value );

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

LocalPort Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

The TCP port in the local host where the class binds.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalPort();
public function setLocalPort($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_get($res, 24 );
ipworksssl_wsclient_set($res, 24, $value );

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property 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 property to 0 (default) enables the system to choose an open port at random. The chosen port will be returned by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this property when a connection is active will generate an error.

This property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.

Data Type

Integer

Origin Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

This property includes the Origin header field value.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getOrigin();
public function setOrigin($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_set($res, 25, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

If specified, the class will include an Origin HTTP header in the connection request with the value provided. Servers may use this value to validate requests. Servers may reject requests depending on the value provided.

A typical value that would be set is in the following form: "http://example.com".

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

OtherHeaders Property (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

 'eol'

Remarks

The DataIn event provides the data received from the remote host.

The incoming data are provided through the Text parameter.

The DataFormat parameter identifies the encoding (if any) of the data. Possible value are as follows:

The EOM parameter stands for End of Message. By default, the class will fire the DataIn event as data are received. Larger messages will be fragmented and will cause the event to fire multiple times. When EOM is True within the event, this indicates the current fragment is also the final fragment of the message. The class may also be configured to buffer the message internally until the complete message is received. To enable this, set BufferMessage to True.

The EOL parameter stands for End of Line. When LineMode is False, EOL will always be False. When LineMode is True, EOL will be True if the DataIn event fired because an EOL was received and will be False if the DataIn event fired because MaxLineLength was reached.

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.

Parameter List

 '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 (IPWorksSSL_WSClient Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssl_wsclient_register_callback($res, 13, array($this, 'fireSSLStatus'));
