Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

An Azure Relay Service listener to accept and communicate with clients.

Syntax

ipworksmq.azurerelayreceiver()

Remarks

The AzureRelayReceiver class implements the listener role in the Azure Relay service. The class will connect to the server and listen for incoming connections. Once a connection is established data can be exchange freely in both directions allowing a flexible messaging environment.

Authenticating and Listening

Authentication to Azure Relay is performed using the Shared Access Key Name and Shared Access Key created from the Azure portal for the Relay. To begin listening for incoming connections set Listening to True.

When set to True the class will immediately attempt to make a connection to the Azure Relay Service and begin listening. The following properties are applicable when setting Listening:

• AccessKey (required)
• AccessKeyName (required)
• HybridConnection (required)
• NamespaceAddress (required)
• DefaultTimeout
• ForwardingHost
• ForwardingPort

To stop listening set Listening to False. To shutdown the server including existing connections call Shutdown.

Handling Connections

When a connection is made the ConnectionRequest event fires with information about the connecting client. From within this event the client connection may be accepted (default) or rejected.

If the client connection is accepted the ConnectionConnected and ConnectionReadyToSend events fire when the connection completes and is ready to send and receive data.

When data is received from the client the ConnectionDataIn event fires with the received data.

To send data to the client set ConnectionsDataToSend or call Send, SendFile, or SendText.

When the client disconnects the ConnectionDisconnected event fires. To initiate the client disconnection call Disconnect.

Handling HTTP Connections

Azure Relay also supports HTTP connections which follow a request/response model. When an HTTP request is received the HTTPRequest event fires with information about the request including the request body. Save the ConnectionId value obtained within HTTPRequest for use with SendHTTPResponse.

To send a HTTP response call SendHTTPResponse with the ConnectionId, status code and description, and any response day to be sent back to the client.

Forwarding Connections

The class supports forwarding incoming connection to a separate destination. This functionality allows AzureRelayReceiver to act as a proxy for incoming requests. When ForwardingHost and ForwardingPort are set anytime a connection is made the class will establish a separate connection to the ForwardingHost and forward all incoming traffic. Responses from the ForwardingHost are then automatically sent back over the connection.

When connection forwarding is used no special steps are needed to send or receive data. Data flows freely between the connected client and the ForwardingHost.

Note: Forwarding is not supported for HTTP requests.

Code Example (WebSockets)

Azurerelayreceiver listener = new Azurerelayreceiver(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnConnectionRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Connection Request From: " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); e.Accept = true; }; listener.OnConnectionReadyToSend += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Connection [" + e.ConnectionId + "] connected and ready to send and receive."); }; listener.OnConnectionDataIn += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Received data from " + e.ConnectionId + ": " + e.Text); //echo the data back listener.SendText(e.ConnectionId, e.Text); Console.WriteLine("Echoed received data back"); }; listener.Listening = true; while (true) listener.DoEvents();

Code Example (HTTP)

Azurerelaylistener listener = new Azurerelaylistener(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnHTTPRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request from " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Method: " + e.RequestMethod); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request: " + e.RequestData); myConnectionId = e.ConnectionId; }; //Send a response using the ConnectionId value from the HTTPRequest event listener.SendHTTPResponse(myConnectionId, 200, "OK", myResponseBody);

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.config(configurationString : string): Promise<string>

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).

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.interrupt(connectionId : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This property is called using the Connection ID if you wish to interrupt a connection and stop a file from uploading without disconnecting the client connected to the class. If you use SendFile to upload a file, the class will run synchronously on that Connection ID until it is completed.

AzureRelayReceiver.pauseData Method

This method pauses data reception.

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.pauseData(connectionId : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method pauses data reception for the connection identified by ConnectionId when called. While data reception is paused, the DataIn event will not fire for the specified connection. Call ProcessData to reenable data reception.

AzureRelayReceiver.processData Method

This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.processData(connectionId : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method reenables data reception for the connection identified by ConnectionId after a previous call to PauseData. When PauseData is called, the DataIn event will not fire for the specified connection. To reenable data reception and allow DataIn to fire, call this method.

Note: This method is used only after previously calling PauseData. It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

AzureRelayReceiver.send Method

Sends binary data to the client.

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.send(connectionId : string, data : Uint8Array): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method sends the binary data specified by Data to the client specified by ConnectionId.

Remarks

This method sends binary data to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send text, use the SendText method instead.

When ConnectionsTimeout is set to 0, the class will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation . The BytesSent property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the ReadyToSend event before attempting to send data again.

Note: The ReadyToSend event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

AzureRelayReceiver.sendFile Method

This method sends the file to the remote host.

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.sendFile(connectionId : string, fileName : string): Promise<void>

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.sendHTTPResponse(connectionId : string, statusCode : number, statusDescription : string, responseData : Uint8Array): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method sends an HTTP response to the HTTP request identified by ConnectionId.

The response status code and description, as well as the response body, are sent to the client using this method. The ConnectionId value should be obtained from the HTTPRequest event.

StatusCode is the three digit HTTP status code to return, for instance 200.

StatusDescription is the text corresponding to the StatusCode. For instance OK.

ResponseBody specifies the body to be sent back to the client (if any).

Code Example (HTTP)

Azurerelaylistener listener = new Azurerelaylistener(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnHTTPRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request from " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Method: " + e.RequestMethod); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request: " + e.RequestData); myConnectionId = e.ConnectionId; }; //Send a response using the ConnectionId value from the HTTPRequest event listener.SendHTTPResponse(myConnectionId, 200, "OK", myResponseBody);

AzureRelayReceiver.sendText Method

Sends text data to the client.

Syntax

async azurerelayreceiver.sendText(connectionId : string, text : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method sends text to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send binary data, use the SendBytes method instead.

When ConnectionsTimeout is set to 0, the class will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation . The BytesSent property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the ReadyToSend event before attempting to send data again.

Note: The ReadyToSend event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

AzureRelayReceiver.Connected Event

Fired immediately after the WebSocket handshake completes (or fails).

Syntax

azurerelayreceiver.on('Connected', listener: (e: {readonly statusCode: number, readonly description: string}) => void )

Remarks

The Connected event will fire after the entire WebSocket connection and handshake process finishes (of fails). This consists of 3 steps: the initial TCP connection (along with SSL negotiation, if used), the HTTP "Upgrade" request, and the 101 HTTP response.

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

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the TCP/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

AzureRelayReceiver.ConnectionConnected Event

Fired when a client has connected.

Remarks

The DataIn event provides the data received from the client identified by the ConnectionId parameter.

The incoming data is provided through the Text parameter.

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

The EOM parameter stands for End Of Message. By default the class will fire the DataIn event as data is 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 false if the DataIn event fired because MaxLineLength was reached.

AzureRelayReceiver.ConnectionDisconnected Event

Fired when a WebSocket connection is disconnected.

Syntax

azurerelayreceiver.on('ConnectionDisconnected', listener: (e: {readonly connectionId: string, readonly statusCode: number, readonly description: string}) => void )

azurerelayreceiver.on('Redirect', listener: (e: {readonly location: string, accept: boolean}) => void )

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 . Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

AzureRelayReceiver.SSLServerAuthentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

azurerelayreceiver.on('SSLServerAuthentication', listener: (e: {readonly certEncoded: string, readonly certEncodedB: Uint8Array, readonly certSubject: string, readonly certIssuer: string, readonly status: string, accept: boolean}) => void )

Remarks

This event fires with information about the server certificate. The Status property shows why verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). To manually accept an untrusted certificate, the SSLAcceptAnyServerCert setting must be set to True before initiating the connection.

AzureRelayReceiver.SSLStatus Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

azurerelayreceiver.on('SSLStatus', listener: (e: {readonly message: string}) => void )

Remarks

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

AzureRelayConnection Type

A currently connected client.

Remarks

This type describes the connection of a client which is currently connected to the class. You may use the different fields of this type to manage the connection.

Fields

"connectHeaders": {
	"Sec-WebSocket-Key": "QocLBwK5J40Qp35L2duoBg==",
	"Sec-WebSocket-Version": "13",
	"Origin": "null",
	"Connection": "Upgrade",
	"Upgrade": "websocket",
	"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
	"Host": "nstest.servicebus.windows.net",
	"User-Agent": "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com"
}

Constructors

public AzureRelayConnection();

Certificate Type

This is the digital certificate being used.

Remarks

This type describes the current digital certificate. The certificate may be a public or private key. The fields are used to identify or select certificates.

Fields

Constructors

public Certificate();

Creates a Certificate instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with CERTMGR when generating new certificates.

public Certificate(String certificateFile);

Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(byte[] certificateData);

Parses CertificateData as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(int certStoreType, String store, String storePassword, String subject);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate(int certStoreType, String store, String storePassword, String subject, String configurationString);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. ConfigurationString is a newline separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to cstUser, cstMachine, cstPublicKeyFile, and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate(int certStoreType, String store, String storePassword, byte[] encoded);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.

public Certificate(int certStoreType, byte[] storeBlob, String storePassword, String subject);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. StoreBlob is a string (binary- or Base64-encoded) containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate(int certStoreType, byte[] storeBlob, String storePassword, String subject, String configurationString);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. StoreBlob is a string (binary- or Base64-encoded) containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate(int certStoreType, byte[] storeBlob, String storePassword, byte[] encoded);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a string (binary- or Base64-encoded) containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.
