XMPP Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The XMPP Class is used to create a lightweight messaging client using the XMPP (Jabber) protocol.
Syntax
XMPP
Remarks
The XMPP 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.
A call to the ConnectTo method will perform the entire logon process after which a Connected event will fire to indicate the connection status. For simplicity, the entire interface is synchronous; the class will not return until a call is completed.
After a successful connection, the class will automatically begin the process of receiving the user's buddy list. The class will parse the XML as it comes in from the server and will set the appropriate properties. Once the entire buddy list has been retrieved, a Sync event will fire.
Sending a message is as simple as calling a single method. One call to the SendMessage method will cause the class to connect if it has not already done so, send the specified message to a specified user, and return to the original connection state.
The XMPP Class interface supports messaging, list, and presence management. Other features of the XMPP protocol are supported through the SendCommand method and PITrail event.
Example 1. Connecting and Sending a Message:
IMControl.ConnectTo("myusername", "mypassword")
IMControl.MessageText = "My Message"
IMControl.SendMessage("ToUser")
Example 2. Sending a Single Message:
IMControl.User = "myusername"
IMControl.Password = "mypassword"
IMControl.MessageText = "My Message"
IMControl.SendMessage("ToUser")

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.

Presence Property (XMPP Class)
This property indicates the availability of the entity.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetPresence(); Unicode (Windows) INT GetPresence();
Possible Values
PC_OFFLINE(0),
PC_CHAT(1),
PC_AWAY(2),
PC_XA(3),
PC_DND(4)
int ipworksmq_xmpp_getpresence(void* lpObj);
int GetPresence();
Default Value
1
Remarks
When the class completes the initial login, it will send information telling other entities subscribed to this entity's presence that it is online.
The Presence property has one of four values representing general information about the user's status as defined in the Jabber protocol specification:
pcOffline (0) | Invisible: JabberId is offline. |
pcChat (1) | Available: JabberId is online. |
pcAway (2) | Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer. |
pcXA (3) | Extended Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer for an extended period of time. |
pcDND (4) | Do Not Disturb: JabberId is online, but is busy and does not wish to be disturbed. |
By default, the class sets the client presence to pcChat, meaning that the user is available.
Note: Offline is not officially supported by the XMPP specification; however, some XMPP server implementations may recognize the value. Setting the client's presence state to this value may cause the server to respond with an Error.
The Status property is a pure-text string representing the user's presence information. Its value maybe be any random string, including the empty string, "".
If the application or user wishes to associate a specific status message with a new presence value, it should use the ChangePresence method. ChangePresence will update both the Presence and Status properties, and then send that information to the server.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type

int SetSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded(QByteArray qbaSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded);
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.
Data Type
SSLCert Property (XMPP Class)
The certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.

Remarks
This property includes the digital certificate that the class will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Data Type
SSLEnabled Property (XMPP Class)
This property indicates whether Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) is enabled.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetSSLEnabled();
int SetSSLEnabled(int bSSLEnabled); Unicode (Windows) BOOL GetSSLEnabled();
INT SetSSLEnabled(BOOL bSSLEnabled);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_getsslenabled(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setsslenabled(void* lpObj, int bSSLEnabled);
bool GetSSLEnabled();
int SetSSLEnabled(bool bSSLEnabled);
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
This property specifies whether TLS/SSL is enabled in the class. When False (default), the class operates in plaintext mode. When True, TLS/SSL is enabled.
TLS/SSL may also be enabled by setting SSLStartMode. Setting SSLStartMode will automatically update this property value.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
SSLProvider Property (XMPP 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 ipworksmq_xmpp_getsslprovider(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_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. |
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.
Data Type
Integer
SSLServerCert Property (XMPP Class)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax

Remarks
This property contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Data Type
SSLStartMode Property (XMPP Class)
This property determines how the class starts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetSSLStartMode();
int SetSSLStartMode(int iSSLStartMode); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSSLStartMode();
INT SetSSLStartMode(INT iSSLStartMode);
Possible Values
SSL_AUTOMATIC(0),
SSL_IMPLICIT(1),
SSL_EXPLICIT(2),
SSL_NONE(3)
int ipworksmq_xmpp_getsslstartmode(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setsslstartmode(void* lpObj, int iSSLStartMode);
int GetSSLStartMode();
int SetSSLStartMode(int iSSLStartMode);
Default Value
3
Remarks
The SSLStartMode property may have one of the following values:
0 (sslAutomatic) | If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the class will behave the same as if SSLStartMode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit). |
1 (sslImplicit) | The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established. |
2 (sslExplicit) | The class will first connect in plaintext, and then will explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS. |
3 (sslNone - default) | No SSL negotiation; no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode. |
Data Type
Integer
Status Property (XMPP Class)
This property holds the description of the availability of this entity.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetStatus(); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetStatus();
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_getstatus(void* lpObj);
QString GetStatus();
Default Value
"Available for Chat."
Remarks
When the class completes the initial login, it will send information telling other entities subscribed to this entity's presence that it is online.
The Presence property has one of four values representing general information about the user's status as defined in the Jabber protocol specification:
pcOffline (0) | Invisible: JabberId is offline. |
pcChat (1) | Available: JabberId is online. |
pcAway (2) | Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer. |
pcXA (3) | Extended Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer for an extended period of time. |
pcDND (4) | Do Not Disturb: JabberId is online, but is busy and does not wish to be disturbed. |
By default, the class sets the client presence to pcChat, meaning that the user is available.
Note: Offline is not officially supported by the XMPP specification; however, some XMPP server implementations may recognize the value. Setting the client's presence state to this value may cause the server to respond with an Error.
The Status property is a pure-text string representing the user's presence information. Its value maybe be any random string, including the empty string, "".
If the application or user wishes to associate a specific status message with a new presence value, it should use the ChangePresence method. ChangePresence will update both the Presence and Status properties, and then send that information to the server.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
String
Timeout Property (XMPP 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 ipworksmq_xmpp_gettimeout(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_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
User Property (XMPP Class)
This property includes the user portion of this entity's Jabber Id.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetUser();
int SetUser(const char* lpszUser); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetUser();
INT SetUser(LPCWSTR lpszUser);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_getuser(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuser(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUser);
QString GetUser();
int SetUser(QString qsUser);
Default Value
""
Remarks
The User property is a unique username associated with this entity and is set at the time of registration under the field "user".
Data Type
String
UserDomain Property (XMPP Class)
This property gets or sets the domain value used for Jabber Ids.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetUserDomain();
int SetUserDomain(const char* lpszUserDomain); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetUserDomain();
INT SetUserDomain(LPCWSTR lpszUserDomain);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_getuserdomain(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuserdomain(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUserDomain);
QString GetUserDomain();
int SetUserDomain(QString qsUserDomain);
Default Value
""
Remarks
A Jabber Id (JID) is a unique identifier of the format "User@Domain/Resource". user@domain denotes the account by username and domain. The Resource is given during the login process to distinguish individual connections under the same account. If the IMServer contains multiple domains, this property setting allows the user to specify the domain under which to log in.
If Domain is empty, the value in IMServer is used by default when creating the client's JID.
Data Type
String
UserInfo Property (XMPP Class)
This property includes the collection of named registration fields.
Syntax
IPWorksMQList<IPWorksMQXMPPUserInfo>* GetUserInfo(); int SetUserInfo(IPWorksMQList<IPWorksMQXMPPUserInfo>* val);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_getuserinfocount(void* lpObj);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuserinfocount(void* lpObj, int iUserInfoCount);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_getuserinfofield(void* lpObj, int fieldindex);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuserinfofield(void* lpObj, int fieldindex, const char* lpszUserInfoField);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_getuserinfovalue(void* lpObj, int fieldindex);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuserinfovalue(void* lpObj, int fieldindex, const char* lpszUserInfoValue);
int GetUserInfoCount();
int SetUserInfoCount(int iUserInfoCount); QString GetUserInfoField(int iFieldIndex);
int SetUserInfoField(int iFieldIndex, QString qsUserInfoField); QString GetUserInfoValue(int iFieldIndex);
int SetUserInfoValue(int iFieldIndex, QString qsUserInfoValue);
Remarks
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification, as follows:
instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
username | The username to be associated with this account. |
password | The initial password for this account. |
name | The user's name. |
The user's email address. | |
address | The user's physical address. |
city | The user's city of residence. |
state | The user's state (for US citizens). |
zip | The user's postal code (for US citizens). |
phone | The user's phone number. |
URL | The user's website. |
date | The date of registration. |
misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the class is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
This collection is a hash-table type of collection in which the field string is used as the key to the desired XMPP user info object.
Example. Setting New User Information:
xmpp1.QueryRegister("server");
xmpp1.UserInfoCount = 2
xmpp1.UserInfoField(0) = "Username"
xmpp1.UserInfoValue(0) = "newuser"
xmpp1.UserInfoField(1) = "Password"
xmpp1.UserInfoValue(1) = "newpass"
xmpp1.Register("server");
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Add Method (XMPP Class)
This method will add an entity to this entity's roster.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Add(const char* lpszJabberId, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszGroups); Unicode (Windows) INT Add(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId, LPCWSTR lpszName, LPCWSTR lpszGroups);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_add(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszGroups);
int Add(const QString& qsJabberId, const QString& qsName, const QString& qsGroups);
Remarks
JabberId is the Jabber Id of the entity to be added. It should be of form "user@host". If no hostname is specified, the class will assume the user's account is with the server in IMServer, and will append that hostname to JabberId before sending the request.
Name will contain the name that is to be associated with JabberId in this entity's roster. It may be the empty string, "".
Groups is either the empty string ("") or a comma- separated list of groups to which the JabberId is to be added. If JabberId already exists in the buddy list, it will be updated to exist only in the specified groups. A buddy's group list can also be modified by the Buddies property.
The Add method will make a subscription request to the presence of the specified JabberId. Upon receiving this request, the server will add an entry into this user's buddy list with a subscription of type subscriptionNone (0) if there was no previous entry (if this user has already allowed JabberId to subscribe to this user's presence, there will already be an entry of type subscriptionFrom (2)). If the contact chooses to allow the subscription, the server will update the entry and a BuddyUpdate event will fire with the new subscription value (subscriptionTo (1) if this is a new contact, or subscriptionBoth (3) if the contact is now mutual).
The XMPP protocol permits XMPP (Jabber) clients to communicate with foreign IM networks, such as AIM, MSN, SMS, and others, through the use of gateway servers that translate between the foreign protocol and XMPP. When sending or receiving presence information, messages, or subscription requests, Domain will be a gateway for the foreign network on which the contact resides and with which this user has registered an account for that foreign network. The Register method can be used to register with a foreign network gateway.
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.)
Cancel Method (XMPP Class)
This method will cancel another entity's subscription to this entity's presence.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Cancel(const char* lpszJabberId); Unicode (Windows) INT Cancel(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_cancel(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId);
int Cancel(const QString& qsJabberId);
Remarks
If for any reason the user should want to undo a previously granted subscription, this can be achieved through the Cancel method. The method will unsubscribe the target from this user's presence, thus preventing the target from seeing this user in the future.
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.)
ChangePassword Method (XMPP Class)
This method will change the current user's password.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int ChangePassword(const char* lpszPassword); Unicode (Windows) INT ChangePassword(LPCWSTR lpszPassword);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_changepassword(void* lpObj, const char* lpszPassword);
int ChangePassword(const QString& qsPassword);
Remarks
This method changes the current user's password to the password that is specified. The class must be connected to the server when this method is called.
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.)
ChangePresence Method (XMPP Class)
This method will set the availability and status of this entity.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int ChangePresence(int iPresenceCode, const char* lpszStatus); Unicode (Windows) INT ChangePresence(INT iPresenceCode, LPCWSTR lpszStatus);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_changepresence(void* lpObj, int iPresenceCode, const char* lpszStatus);
int ChangePresence(int iPresenceCode, const QString& qsStatus);
Remarks
PresenceCode should correspond to the possible values of the Presence property:
pcOffline (0) | Invisible: JabberId is offline. |
pcChat (1) | Available: JabberId is online. |
pcAway (2) | Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer. |
pcXA (3) | Extended Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer for an extended period of time. |
pcDND (4) | Do Not Disturb: JabberId is online, but is busy and does not wish to be disturbed. |
By default, the class sets the client presence to pcChat, meaning that the user is available.
Note: Offline is not officially supported by the XMPP specification; however, some XMPP server implementations may recognize the value. Setting the client's presence state to this value may cause the server to respond with an Error.
Status can be any random string, including the empty string "".
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 (XMPP Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_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.
Connect Method (XMPP Class)
This method will connect the class to the server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Connect(); Unicode (Windows) INT Connect();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_connect(void* lpObj);
int Connect();
Remarks
The Connect method performs the entire connection routine. This includes connection to the IMServer, authenticating with the specified User and Password, and session initialization.
The Connected event will fire once for the initial Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection and again when the XMPP Logon is complete.
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.)
ConnectTo Method (XMPP Class)
This method will connect the class to the server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int ConnectTo(const char* lpszUser, const char* lpszPassword); Unicode (Windows) INT ConnectTo(LPCWSTR lpszUser, LPCWSTR lpszPassword);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_connectto(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUser, const char* lpszPassword);
int ConnectTo(const QString& qsUser, const QString& qsPassword);
Remarks
The ConnectTo method performs the entire connection routine. This includes connection to the IMServer, user logon and authentication, and session initialization.
The Connected event will fire once for the initial Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection and again when the XMPP Logon is complete.
Because ConnectTo is called with a user and password specified, the User and Password properties will updated accordingly.
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.)
Disconnect Method (XMPP Class)
This method disconnects the class from the server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Disconnect(); Unicode (Windows) INT Disconnect();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_disconnect(void* lpObj);
int Disconnect();
Remarks
The Disconnect method will send the disconnect command to the notification server. Upon disconnection, a Disconnected event will be fired.
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 (XMPP Class)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int DoEvents(); Unicode (Windows) INT DoEvents();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_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.)
Interrupt Method (XMPP Class)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Interrupt(); Unicode (Windows) INT Interrupt();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_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.)
ProbePresence Method (XMPP Class)
Use this method to probe for another entity's presence.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int ProbePresence(const char* lpszJabberId); Unicode (Windows) INT ProbePresence(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_probepresence(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId);
int ProbePresence(const QString& qsJabberId);
Remarks
In the case that the user needs to update a particular entity's presence, this method can be used to retrieve it. After a successful call, the server will either respond with the last known presence for Jabber or will send a presence element of type "error". In either case, the respond will be returned by a Presence event.
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.)
QueryRegister Method (XMPP Class)
This method queries a server for the necessary registration fields.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int QueryRegister(const char* lpszXMPPServer); Unicode (Windows) INT QueryRegister(LPCWSTR lpszXMPPServer);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_queryregister(void* lpObj, const char* lpszXMPPServer);
int QueryRegister(const QString& qsXMPPServer);
Remarks
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification, as follows:
instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
username | The username to be associated with this account. |
password | The initial password for this account. |
name | The user's name. |
The user's email address. | |
address | The user's physical address. |
city | The user's city of residence. |
state | The user's state (for US citizens). |
zip | The user's postal code (for US citizens). |
phone | The user's phone number. |
URL | The user's website. |
date | The date of registration. |
misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the class is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
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.)
Register Method (XMPP Class)
This method registers an account with a server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Register(const char* lpszXMPPServer); Unicode (Windows) INT Register(LPCWSTR lpszXMPPServer);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_register(void* lpObj, const char* lpszXMPPServer);
int Register(const QString& qsXMPPServer);
Remarks
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification, as follows:
instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
username | The username to be associated with this account. |
password | The initial password for this account. |
name | The user's name. |
The user's email address. | |
address | The user's physical address. |
city | The user's city of residence. |
state | The user's state (for US citizens). |
zip | The user's postal code (for US citizens). |
phone | The user's phone number. |
URL | The user's website. |
date | The date of registration. |
misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the class is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
A new account can be registered at any time, including while the class is logged into the host under an existing account.
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.)
Remove Method (XMPP Class)
This method will remove an entity from this entity's roster.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Remove(const char* lpszJabberId, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszGroup); Unicode (Windows) INT Remove(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId, LPCWSTR lpszName, LPCWSTR lpszGroup);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_remove(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszGroup);
int Remove(const QString& qsJabberId, const QString& qsName, const QString& qsGroup);
Remarks
JabberId is the Jabber Id of the entity to be removed. It should be in the form of "user@host". If no hostname is specified, the class will assume the user's account is with the server in IMServer, and it will append that hostname to JabberId before sending the request.
Name should contain the name that is to be associated with JabberId in this entity's roster. It may be the empty string, "".
Groups may be either the empty string ("") or a comma- separated list of groups from which JabberId is to be removed. If no group is specified, the buddy will be completely removed from the buddy list.
After calling the Remove method, the server will remove the entry from the server-side roster and will push the result out to all connected resources. A BuddyUpdate event will fire with a subscription of type subscriptionRemove, and the entry will be removed from the Jabber class's internally stored list.
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 (XMPP Class)
This method will reset the class.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Reset(); Unicode (Windows) INT Reset();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_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.)
RetrieveRoster Method (XMPP Class)
This method will retrieve this entity's roster from the server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int RetrieveRoster(); Unicode (Windows) INT RetrieveRoster();
int ipworksmq_xmpp_retrieveroster(void* lpObj);
int RetrieveRoster();
Remarks
After the class connects, it will automatically send a request to the server to retrieve the roster. If, however, the user or application wish to update the entire roster, this method may be used to do so.
After a successful call to the RetrieveRoster method, the server will respond with this entity's roster. The class will parse the roster and fire the Sync event once per item. This event may also fire for each entity added to or removed from the roster.
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.)
SendCommand Method (XMPP Class)

Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SendCommand(const char* lpszCommand); Unicode (Windows) INT SendCommand(LPCWSTR lpszCommand);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_sendcommand(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCommand);
int SendCommand(const QString& qsCommand);
Remarks
The SendCommand method will send the Command parameter to the server. The command must be in valid XML format and must be recognizable to the IMServer.
The SendCommand method should be used only by programmers or users who are connecting to nonstandard servers whose command list is not covered by the class. Any responses that are defined in the protocol specification will be returned by the appropriate event. Any nonstandard IQ message will be returned by the IQ event. All other responses will be returned by the PITrail event.
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.)
SendFile Method (XMPP Class)
This method sends a file to the specified user.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SendFile(const char* lpszJabberId); Unicode (Windows) INT SendFile(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_sendfile(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId);
int SendFile(const QString& qsJabberId);
Remarks
This method sends the file specified by LocalFile to the user specified by the JabberId parameter.
JabberId is the intended recipient of the message. It is of the form user@domain/resource. If a resource is not supplied, all logged-in instances of the user's account will receive the message.
The class supports sending files using In-Band Bystestreams as defined in XEP-0047 and XEP-0096.
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.)
SendMessage Method (XMPP Class)
This method will send a message to the specified user.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* SendMessage(const char* lpszJabberId); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR SendMessage(LPCWSTR lpszJabberId);
char* ipworksmq_xmpp_sendmessage(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId);
QString SendMessage(const QString& qsJabberId);
Remarks
JabberId is the intended recipient of the message. It is of the form user@domain/resource. If a resource is not supplied, all logged-in instances of the user's account will receive the message.
The class associates several properties with messages it receives and sends. When it receives a message, the class will parse out the corresponding values and set these properties before firing a MessageIn event. After the event returns control to the class, the properties will be cleared (i.e., they will be set to the empty string, "").
Before sending a message, the application should set the appropriate properties to be associated with the message. The class will send only properties with nonempty string values ("") and will clear all properties after a successful send.
The associated properties are the following:
MessageType | The type of message to be sent. |
MessageSubject | For "headline" type messages, this is the subject. |
MessageThread | For "chat" type messages, this is the thread on which the current message is a follow-up. |
MessageText | The plaintext of the message. |
MessageHTML | The HTML version of the message. |
MessageOtherData | Any extra data associated with the message but not required by the protocol. |
If the parameter passed to SendMessage is prefixed with "@" the component will interpret the value as a domain when constructing the message. This allows for sending directly to subdomains.
Note: The XMPP class will generate and return a unique identifier for each message sent. This identifier can be used to track messages in conjunction with various Jabber Extension Protocols.
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.
SetUserInfoField Method (XMPP Class)
This method will add a user information field for registration.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SetUserInfoField(const char* lpszField, const char* lpszValue); Unicode (Windows) INT SetUserInfoField(LPCWSTR lpszField, LPCWSTR lpszValue);
int ipworksmq_xmpp_setuserinfofield(void* lpObj, const char* lpszField, const char* lpszValue);
int SetUserInfoField(const QString& qsField, const QString& qsValue);
Remarks
This method will search through UserInfo for the field name in Field and set the corresponding value to Value. If the field was not previously contained in UserInfo, it will automatically be added.
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification, as follows:
instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
username | The username to be associated with this account. |
password | The initial password for this account. |
name | The user's name. |
The user's email address. | |
address | The user's physical address. |
city | The user's city of residence. |
state | The user's state (for US citizens). |
zip | The user's postal code (for US citizens). |
phone | The user's phone number. |
URL | The user's website. |
date | The date of registration. |
misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the class is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
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.)

int ipworksmq_xmpp_subscribeto(void* lpObj, const char* lpszJabberId);
int SubscribeTo(const QString& qsJabberId);
Remarks
This method will send a request for a subscription to JabberId's presence. If the entity allows the subscription, a new item will be stored in the buddy list with the appropriate subscription type. Otherwise, no change will take place.
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.)

int ipworksmq_xmpp_updatebuddygroup(void* lpObj, int iBuddyIndex, const char* lpszGroup);
int UpdateBuddyGroup(int iBuddyIndex, const QString& qsGroup);
Remarks
This method updates the associated groups for the buddy specified by BuddyIndex.
After the Sync event has fired, the Group field is populated with a comma-separated list of groups for each buddy. To update the groups for a buddy, call this method with the buddy's index and the comma-separated list of groups the buddy should be associated with. Setting Group to an empty string ("") will cause the buddy to be completely disassociated from all groups.
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.)
BuddyUpdate Event (XMPP Class)

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void EndTransfer(XMPPEndTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireEndTransfer(XMPPEndTransferEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
When a file transfer completes, this event will fire.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Error Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired when the server sends a protocol error message.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireError(XMPPErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int ErrorCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } XMPPErrorEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(XMPPErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT ErrorCode;
LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } XMPPErrorEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_ERROR 6 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);
class XMPPErrorEventParams { public: int ErrorCode(); const QString &Description(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(XMPPErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(XMPPErrorEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is fired whenever there is a protocol error. ErrorCode will contain the error code string sent by the server. Description will contain the Xmpp class's interpretation of the code.
IQ Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired for IQ messages not normally supported by the class.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireIQ(XMPPIQEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Iq;
const char *Id;
const char *From;
const char *IqType;
int Ignore; int reserved; } XMPPIQEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireIQ(XMPPIQEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Iq;
LPCWSTR Id;
LPCWSTR From;
LPCWSTR IqType;
BOOL Ignore; INT reserved; } XMPPIQEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_IQ 7 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireIQ(LPSTR &lpszIq, LPSTR &lpszId, LPSTR &lpszFrom, LPSTR &lpszIqType, BOOL &bIgnore);
class XMPPIQEventParams { public: const QString &Iq(); const QString &Id(); const QString &From(); const QString &IqType(); bool Ignore(); void SetIgnore(bool bIgnore); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void IQ(XMPPIQEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireIQ(XMPPIQEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Some servers may wish to gather some data from the client in ways not specified by the XMPP RFC. This event will contain any IQ message that is not a part of the Jabber specification. The Iq parameter will contain an entire XML entity, and thus it will require both knowledge of XML and knowledge of the possible contents of the IQ message to parse. Id will contain the transaction Id of the IQ message. From will contain the sender's Jabber Id. IqType will have one of the following values:
"get" | The IQ is requesting information from this XMPP client. |
"set" | The IQ is attempting to set a value. |
"result" | The IQ is a success response to a previous IQ. |
"error" | The IQ is an error response to a previous IQ. |
Note: To respond to these IQs, you may use the SendCommand method.
MessageIn Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of a message.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireMessageIn(XMPPMessageInEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *MessageId;
const char *From;
const char *Domain;
const char *Resource;
int MessageType;
const char *Subject;
const char *MessageThread;
const char *MessageText;
const char *MessageHTML;
const char *Other; int reserved; } XMPPMessageInEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireMessageIn(XMPPMessageInEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR MessageId;
LPCWSTR From;
LPCWSTR Domain;
LPCWSTR Resource;
INT MessageType;
LPCWSTR Subject;
LPCWSTR MessageThread;
LPCWSTR MessageText;
LPCWSTR MessageHTML;
LPCWSTR Other; INT reserved; } XMPPMessageInEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_MESSAGEIN 8 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireMessageIn(LPSTR &lpszMessageId, LPSTR &lpszFrom, LPSTR &lpszDomain, LPSTR &lpszResource, INT &iMessageType, LPSTR &lpszSubject, LPSTR &lpszMessageThread, LPSTR &lpszMessageText, LPSTR &lpszMessageHTML, LPSTR &lpszOther);
class XMPPMessageInEventParams { public: const QString &MessageId(); const QString &From(); const QString &Domain(); const QString &Resource(); int MessageType(); const QString &Subject(); const QString &MessageThread(); const QString &MessageText(); const QString &MessageHTML(); const QString &Other(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void MessageIn(XMPPMessageInEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireMessageIn(XMPPMessageInEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
When a message is received, the XMPP class will parse the sender's Jabber Id into the From, Domain, and Resource fields. These parameters can be used to track the exact instance of a user's account that originated the message.
MessageId can be used with Jabber extension protocols. The MessageText parameter is the plaintext portion of the message body. MessageHTML will contain any HTML from the message.
Type is the type of message received. See MessageType for a list of possible values. For a message of type "headline", Subject will reflect the subject of the message. For a message of type "chat", Thread will report the conversation thread for which the current message is a follow-up.
Other will contain any extra data associated with the message but not defined by the XMPP-IM protocol.
PITrail Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired for all protocol messages.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FirePITrail(XMPPPITrailEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction;
const char *Pi; int reserved; } XMPPPITrailEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FirePITrail(XMPPPITrailEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction;
LPCWSTR Pi; INT reserved; } XMPPPITrailEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_PITRAIL 9 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FirePITrail(INT &iDirection, LPSTR &lpszPi);
class XMPPPITrailEventParams { public: int Direction(); const QString &Pi(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void PITrail(XMPPPITrailEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FirePITrail(XMPPPITrailEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all the interactions between the client and the server, line by line.
SessionId will hold the session number that originated the PI. A value of 0 is reserved for all PI dealing with the IMServer.
The direction parameter shows the originator of the message:
0 (Client) | Pi originates from the client. |
1 (Server) | Pi originates from the server. |
2 (Info) | Pi is an informative message originating from within the class. |
The Pi parameter contains the PI message.
Presence Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired when the presence of a subscribed entity changes.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FirePresence(XMPPPresenceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *User;
const char *Domain;
const char *Resource;
int Availability;
const char *Status; int reserved; } XMPPPresenceEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FirePresence(XMPPPresenceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR User;
LPCWSTR Domain;
LPCWSTR Resource;
INT Availability;
LPCWSTR Status; INT reserved; } XMPPPresenceEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_PRESENCE 10 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FirePresence(LPSTR &lpszUser, LPSTR &lpszDomain, LPSTR &lpszResource, INT &iAvailability, LPSTR &lpszStatus);
class XMPPPresenceEventParams { public: const QString &User(); const QString &Domain(); const QString &Resource(); int Availability(); const QString &Status(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Presence(XMPPPresenceEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FirePresence(XMPPPresenceEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event contains the availability and status information of a particular Jabber entity to whom this entity has a subscription.
Because a user can log in multiple times using the same account, the XMPP class will parse the user's Jabber Id into the User, Domain, and Resource parameters so that the client can easily track which instance of the account sent the presence.
The XMPP protocol permits XMPP (Jabber) clients to communicate with foreign IM networks, such as AIM, MSN, SMS, and others, through the use of gateway servers that translate between the foreign protocol and XMPP. When sending or receiving presence information, messages, or subscription requests, Domain will be a gateway for the foreign network on which the contact resides and with which this user has registered an account for that foreign network. The Register method can be used to register with a foreign network gateway.
Availability corresponds to the Presence property of the class, with the same possible values:
pcOffline (0) | Invisible: JabberId is offline. |
pcChat (1) | Available: JabberId is online. |
pcAway (2) | Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer. |
pcXA (3) | Extended Away: JabberId is online, but the user is away from their computer for an extended period of time. |
pcDND (4) | Do Not Disturb: JabberId is online, but is busy and does not wish to be disturbed. |
By default, the class sets the client presence to pcChat, meaning that the user is available.
Note: Offline is not officially supported by the XMPP specification; however, some XMPP server implementations may recognize the value. Setting the client's presence state to this value may cause the server to respond with an Error.
Status corresponds to the Status property. This value may be any random string, including the empty string, "".
ReadyToSend Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired when the class is ready to send data.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireReadyToSend(XMPPReadyToSendEventParams *e);
typedef struct { int reserved; } XMPPReadyToSendEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireReadyToSend(XMPPReadyToSendEventParams *e);
typedef struct { INT reserved; } XMPPReadyToSendEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_READYTOSEND 11 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireReadyToSend();
class XMPPReadyToSendEventParams { public: int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ReadyToSend(XMPPReadyToSendEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireReadyToSend(XMPPReadyToSendEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed SendBytes. This event also is fired immediately after a connection to the remote host is established.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (XMPP Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded;
const char *CertSubject;
const char *CertIssuer;
const char *Status;
int Accept; int reserved; } XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCSTR CertEncoded; INT lenCertEncoded;
LPCWSTR CertSubject;
LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
LPCWSTR Status;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 12 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);
class XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams { 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(XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(XMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *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 (XMPP Class)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSSLStatus(XMPPSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Message; int reserved; } XMPPSSLStatusEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLStatus(XMPPSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Message; INT reserved; } XMPPSSLStatusEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_SSLSTATUS 13 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireSSLStatus(LPSTR &lpszMessage);
class XMPPSSLStatusEventParams { public: const QString &Message(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLStatus(XMPPSSLStatusEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLStatus(XMPPSSLStatusEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired when a file transfer begins.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireStartTransfer(XMPPStartTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction;
const char *FileId;
const char *User;
const char *Domain;
const char *Resource;
char *FileName;
const char *Datetime;
int64 Size;
int Accept; int reserved; } XMPPStartTransferEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireStartTransfer(XMPPStartTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction;
LPCWSTR FileId;
LPCWSTR User;
LPCWSTR Domain;
LPCWSTR Resource;
LPWSTR FileName;
LPCWSTR Datetime;
LONG64 Size;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } XMPPStartTransferEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_STARTTRANSFER 14 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireStartTransfer(INT &iDirection, LPSTR &lpszFileId, LPSTR &lpszUser, LPSTR &lpszDomain, LPSTR &lpszResource, LPSTR &lpszFileName, LPSTR &lpszDatetime, LONG64 &lSize, BOOL &bAccept);
class XMPPStartTransferEventParams { public: int Direction(); const QString &FileId(); const QString &User(); const QString &Domain(); const QString &Resource(); const QString &FileName(); void SetFileName(const QString &qsFileName); const QString &Datetime(); qint64 Size(); bool Accept(); void SetAccept(bool bAccept); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void StartTransfer(XMPPStartTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireStartTransfer(XMPPStartTransferEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
When a file is received, the XMPP component will parse the sender's Jabber Id into the User, Domain, and Resource fields. The FileId and FileName parameters identify the current transfer. Within this event, you may override the FileName by setting the FileName parameter. At this time, you may also set LocalDirectory if it is not already set.
When sending a file, the XMPP component will parse the receiver's Jabber Id into the User, Domain, and Resource fields.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
SubscriptionRequest Event (XMPP Class)
This event fires when a subscription request is received.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSubscriptionRequest(XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *From;
const char *Domain;
int Accept; int reserved; } XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSubscriptionRequest(XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR From;
LPCWSTR Domain;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_SUBSCRIPTIONREQUEST 15 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireSubscriptionRequest(LPSTR &lpszFrom, LPSTR &lpszDomain, BOOL &bAccept);
class XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams { public: const QString &From(); const QString &Domain(); bool Accept(); void SetAccept(bool bAccept); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SubscriptionRequest(XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSubscriptionRequest(XMPPSubscriptionRequestEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event fires whenever another XMPP entity requests a subscription to this entity's presence. The XMPP class will parse the requesting entity's Jabber Id into the From and Domain parameters. It is not necessary to know which resource sent the request, because all instances of the requesting entity's account have access to the same roster.
Accept will initially be False, but setting it to True will cause the XMPP class to allow the remote subscription. Otherwise, the XMPP class will actively deny the subscription request.
Sync Event (XMPP Class)
This event fires upon a complete information synchronization with the server.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSync(XMPPSyncEventParams *e);
typedef struct { int reserved; } XMPPSyncEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSync(XMPPSyncEventParams *e);
typedef struct { INT reserved; } XMPPSyncEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_SYNC 16 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireSync();
class XMPPSyncEventParams { public: int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Sync(XMPPSyncEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSync(XMPPSyncEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The Sync event will fire after each successful call to the RetrieveRoster method. When the event fires, the buddy list, or roster, will be completely retrieved and the Buddies properties will be filled out accordingly:
Id | The Jabber Ids associated with the buddies. |
Group | The group associated with each entry (if a buddy is in more than one group, they will have multiple entries in the buddy list). |
Subscription | The subscription type for each buddy. |
Note: Please refer to Buddies properties property for more information.
Transfer Event (XMPP Class)
This event is fired during file transfer.

Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTransfer(XMPPTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction;
LPCWSTR FileId;
LPCWSTR FileName;
LONG64 BytesTransferred;
INT PercentDone;
LPCSTR Text; INT lenText;
BOOL Cancel; INT reserved; } XMPPTransferEventParams;
#define EID_XMPP_TRANSFER 17 virtual INT IPWORKSMQ_CALL FireTransfer(INT &iDirection, LPSTR &lpszFileId, LPSTR &lpszFileName, LONG64 &lBytesTransferred, INT &iPercentDone, LPSTR &lpText, INT &lenText, BOOL &bCancel);
class XMPPTransferEventParams { public: int Direction(); const QString &FileId(); const QString &FileName(); qint64 BytesTransferred(); int PercentDone(); const QByteArray &Text(); bool Cancel(); void SetCancel(bool bCancel); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Transfer(XMPPTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMPP and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTransfer(XMPPTransferEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event will fire when sending or receiving. One or more Transfer events are fired during file transfer.
The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the transfer.
Text contains the portion of the file data being delivered.
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 cannot be calculated, the value will be -1.
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.

The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the Store and set StorePassword to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key:

Version
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".
Subject
char*
Default Value: ""
The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.
If a matching certificate is found, the field is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.
If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
Encoded
char*
Default Value: ""
The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject fields also may be used to specify a certificate.
When Encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current Store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, Subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, Subject is set to an empty string.
Constructors
Certificate()
Creates a instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with when generating new certificates.
Certificate(const char* lpEncoded, int lenEncoded)
Parses Encoded as an X.509 public key.
Certificate(int iStoreType, const char* lpStore, int lenStore, const char* lpszStorePassword, const char* lpszSubject)
StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a byte array containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store.
After the store has been successfully opened, the component 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). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

XMPPUserInfo Type
This type describes a named registration field.
Syntax
IPWorksMQXMPPUserInfo (declared in ipworksmq.h)
Remarks
This type describes the user information that must be sent to the server during registration.
Fields
Field
char*
Default Value: ""
This field includes the name of the current field necessary for registration.
Before a registration can be attempted, the application should use the QueryRegister method to poll the host to which the user wishes to register. This will gather all of the necessary fields that the user must send to the server and will populate the UserInfo properties accordingly. After a successful query, all entries in UserInfo values will be empty strings.
The possible registration fields are defined in the Jabber protocol specification, as follows:
instructions | Special instructions sent from the server. |
username | The username to be associated with this account. |
password | The initial password for this account. |
name | The user's name. |
The user's email address. | |
address | The user's physical address. |
city | The user's city of residence. |
state | The user's state (for US citizens). |
zip | The user's postal code (for US citizens). |
phone | The user's phone number. |
URL | The user's website. |
date | The date of registration. |
misc | Any miscellaneous data. |
text | Any extra text (potentially for a personal bio). |
remove | Specifies a request to unregister. |
After the user has set all of the values in UserInfo, and added any extra fields they may wish to include in their registration, the application should make a call to Register.
If the class is not already connected when this method is called, it will connect, poll the registration fields, and then disconnect.
Value

Config Settings (XMPP 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.XMPP Config Settings
TCPClient Config Settings
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 value is not applicable in macOS.
Note: This configuration setting is only available in the Unix platform. It is not supported in masOS or FreeBSD.
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.
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).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the 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.
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
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

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.

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the 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.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the 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.
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]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
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-----
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.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

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

Trappable Errors (XMPP Class)
Error Handling (C++)
Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
