AzureRelayReceiver Class
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 DataToSend 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);

Listening Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
If , the class is listening for incoming connections.
Syntax
public boolean isListening(); public void setListening(boolean listening);
Default Value
False
Remarks
This setting indicates whether the class accepts incoming connections. When true the class has connected to the Azure Service and started listening for incoming connections. The initiate the connection and begin listening call the StartListening method.
Use the StartListening and StopListening methods to control whether the class is listening.
This property is not available at design time.
LocalHost Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
public String getLocalHost(); public void setLocalHost(String localHost);
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.
NamespaceAddress Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
The namespace address of the relay.
Syntax
public String getNamespaceAddress(); public void setNamespaceAddress(String namespaceAddress);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the full fully qualified domain name of the relay namespace. For instance myrelay.servicebus.windows.net.
Proxy Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)

Syntax
public Certificate getSSLAcceptServerCert(); public void setSSLAcceptServerCert(Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert);
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.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLCert Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
The certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);

To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLProvider Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
public int getSSLProvider(); public void setSSLProvider(int SSLProvider); Enumerated values: public final static int sslpAutomatic = 0; public final static int sslpPlatform = 1; public final static int sslpInternal = 2;
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, the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used.
SSLServerCert Property (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLServerCert();
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.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.Config Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
public String config(String configurationString);
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.
Disconnect Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method disconnects the specified client.
Syntax
public void disconnect(String connectionId);
Remarks
Calling this method will disconnect the client specified by the ConnectionId parameter.
DoEvents Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
public void 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.
Interrupt Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Interrupts a synchronous send to the remote host.
Syntax
public void interrupt(String connectionId);
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.
PauseData Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method pauses data reception.
Syntax
public void pauseData(String connectionId);
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.
ProcessData Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .
Syntax
public void processData(String connectionId);
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.
Send Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method sends binary data to the client.
Syntax
public void send(String connectionId, byte[] data);
Remarks
This method sends the binary data specified by Data to the client specified by ConnectionId.
SendBytes Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method sends binary data to the specified client.
Syntax
public void sendBytes(String connectionId, byte[] data);
Remarks
This method sends binary data to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send text, use the SendText method instead.
When Timeout is set to 0 and SSLEnabled is set to False, 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 fails with exception 10035: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can check this error, and then try to send the data again. . 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.
When SSLEnabled is True or Timeout is set to a positive value, the class behaves synchronously.
SendFile Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method sends the file to the remote host.
Syntax
public void sendFile(String connectionId, String fileName);
Remarks
This method sends the file to the client specified by the ConnectionId.
Note: This method operate synchronously. DefaultTimeout or Timeout must be set to a positive value before calling this method.
SendHTTPResponse Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Send the HTTP response.
Syntax
public void sendHTTPResponse(String connectionId, int statusCode, String statusDescription, byte[] responseData);
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);
SendText Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method sends text data to the client.
Syntax
public void sendText(String connectionId, String text);
Remarks
This method sends text to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send binary data, use the SendBytes method instead.
When Timeout is set to 0 and SSLEnabled is set to False, 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 fails with exception 10035: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can check this error, and then try to send the data again. . 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.
When SSLEnabled is True or Timeout is set to a positive value, the class behaves synchronously.
This method sends text to the client identified by ConnectionId. Data sent with this method will always be treated as text data regardless of the value of DataFormat. The class will UTF-8 encode the supplied text.
SetUploadStream Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method uploads the data in the specified stream.
Syntax
public void setUploadStream(String connectionId, java.io.InputStream stream);
Remarks
This method uploads the data in the specified stream to the connection identified by ConnectionId. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default).
Shutdown Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method shuts down the server.
Syntax
public void shutdown();
Remarks
This method shuts down the server. Calling this method is equivalent to calling StopListening and then breaking every client connection by calling Disconnect.
StartListening Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Starts listening for incoming connections.
Syntax
public void startListening();
Remarks
This method begins listening for incoming connections on the port specified by LocalPort. Once listening events will fire as new clients connect and data is transferred.
To stop listening for new connections call StopListening. To stop listening for new connections and disconnect all existing clients call Shutdown.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- AccessKey (required)
- AccessKeyName (required)
- HybridConnection (required)
- NamespaceAddress (required)
- DefaultTimeout
- ForwardingHost
- ForwardingPort
StopListening Method (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This method stops listening for new connections.
Syntax
public void stopListening();
Remarks
This method stops listening for new connections. After being called, any new connection attempts will be rejected. Calling this method does not disconnect existing connections.
To stop listening and to disconnect all existing clients, call Shutdown instead.
Connected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
This event is fired immediately after the WebSocket handshake completes (or fails).
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void connected(AzureRelayReceiverConnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverConnectedEvent { public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The Connected event will fire after the entire WebSocket connection and handshake process finishes (or fails). This consists of three steps: (1) the initial TCP connection (along with SSL negotiation, if used), (2) the HTTP "Upgrade" request, and (3) 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.
Note: Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
ConnectionConnected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired when a client has connected.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void connectionConnected(AzureRelayReceiverConnectionConnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverConnectionConnectedEvent { public String connectionId; }
Remarks
This event fires when a client has successfully established a WebSocket connection.
ConnectionId identifies the connection.
ConnectionDataIn Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired when data is received.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void connectionDataIn(AzureRelayReceiverConnectionDataInEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverConnectionDataInEvent { public String connectionId; public int dataFormat; public byte[] text; public boolean EOM; }
Remarks
The DataIn event provides the data received from the client identified by the ConnectionId parameter.
The incoming data are provided through the Text parameter.
The DataFormat parameter identifies the encoding (if any) of the data. Possible value are as follows:
0 | If LineMode is disabled, a value of 0 indicates a continuation packet. If LineMode is enabled, the value will always be 0, regardless of packet type. |
1 | The data are UTF-8 encoded. |
2 | The data are binary and have no encoding. |
The EOM parameter stands for End of Message. By default, the class will fire the DataIn event as data are received. Larger messages will be fragmented and will cause the event to fire multiple times. When EOM is True within the event, this indicates the current fragment is also the final fragment of the message. The class may also be configured to buffer the message internally until the complete message is received. To enable this, set BufferMessage to True.
The EOL parameter stands for End of Line. When LineMode is False, EOL will always be False. When LineMode is True, EOL will be True if the DataIn event fired because an EOL was received and will be False if the DataIn event fired because MaxLineLength was reached.
ConnectionDisconnected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired when a WebSocket connection is disconnected.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void connectionDisconnected(AzureRelayReceiverConnectionDisconnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverConnectionDisconnectedEvent { public String connectionId; public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
When the connection is closed the StatusCode parameter may be used to determine if the disconnect occurred normally or if there was an error condition. If the connection is closed normally the StatusCode will be 1000. The Description parameter will contain a textual description returned by the server. Common StatusCode values are:
1000 (default) | Normal closure. |
1001 | The resource is going away. For instance, the server is shutting down or a browser is navigating away from the page. |
1002 | A protocol error occurred. |
1003 | Unexpected data were received (e.g., an endpoint that accepts only text data could send this if binary data are received). |
1007 | Invalid payload data were received (e.g., an endpoint that receives non-UTF-8 data in a text message could send this). |
1008 | A generic code that indicates the endpoint received a message that violates its policy. |
1009 | A message that was too large was received. |
1010 | A required extension could not be negotiated. |
1011 | An unexpected error occurred. |

Parameter Descriptions
ConnectionId contains an identifier generated by the class to identify each connection. This identifier is unique to this connection.
RendezvousAddress holds the rendezvous URL to which the connection specific websocket connection may be made. This is for information only, no action needs to be taken based on this value. For instance: wss://g2-prod-by3-003-sb.servicebus.windows.net/$hc/hc1?sb-hc-action=request&sb-hc-id=e1df5efe-0988-450c-9512-f9f1d91b39a0_G2
Id holds the Id of the connection. If an Id was specified by the client it is present here, otherwise the Azure Relay service generates a value. For instance: 2d4acb89-7d15-4aeb-bcd5-66e031580a90_G21_G1.
RequestHeaders contains a JSON object containing the HTTP headers supplied to the Azure Relay service by the sender. Note that authorization values used to authenticate to the Azure Relay service, as well as all headers defined in RFC 7230 with the exception of Via are also stripped. For instance headers such as Content-Length are stripped by the relay and are not present in this value. For instance:
"requestHeaders": { "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Host": "nstest.servicebus.windows.net", "User-Agent": "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com", "Via": "1.1 nstest.servicebus.windows.net" }

public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void log(AzureRelayReceiverLogEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverLogEvent { public String connectionId; public int logLevel; public String message; public String logType; }
Remarks
This event fires once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information including the URL, HTTP version, and connection status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the initial HTTP request.
The value 3 (Debug) logs additional debug information (if available).
Message is the log entry.
LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:
- "Info"
- "Error"
- "Verbose"
- "Debug"
Redirect Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired when a redirection is received from the server.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void redirect(AzureRelayReceiverRedirectEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverRedirectEvent { public String location; public boolean accept; //read-write }
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 throws an exception. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void SSLServerAuthentication(AzureRelayReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEvent { public byte[] certEncoded; public String certSubject; public String certIssuer; public String status; public boolean accept; //read-write }
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 (AzureRelayReceiver Class)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelayReceiverEventListener implements AzureRelayReceiverEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(AzureRelayReceiverSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelayReceiverSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

String (read-only)
Default Value: ""
This field contains an identifier generated by the class to identify each connection. This identifier is unique to this connection.
DataFormat
int
Default Value: 0
This field includes the format of the data being sent. When data are sent over an established connection, it is either considered as text or binary data. Text data are UTF-8 encoded. Binary data have no encoding associated with it.
Possible values are as follows:
0 (dfAutomatic - default) | The class will attempt to automatically determine the correct data format. This is suitable for most cases. |
1 (dfText) | The class will UTF-8 encode the specified data before sending. Data that already have been UTF-8 encoded also may be supplied. |
2 (dfBinary) | The class will send the data exactly as they are provided. |
9 (dfPing) | The class will send the ping with data exactly as they are provided. |
10 (dfPong) | The class will send the pong with data exactly as they are provided. |
DataToSend
String
Default Value: ""
This field contains a string of data to be sent to the remote host. Write-only property.
Assigning a string to the DataToSend makes the class send the string to the remote host. The Send method provides similar functionality.
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 fails with exception 10035: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can check this error, and then try to send the data again. . 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.
DataToSendB
byte[]
Default Value: ""
This field contains a string of data to be sent to the remote host. Write-only property.
Assigning a string to the DataToSend makes the class send the string to the remote host. The Send method provides similar functionality.
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 fails with exception 10035: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can check this error, and then try to send the data again. . 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.
Extensions

ReadyToSend
boolean (read-only)
Default Value: False
This field indicates whether the class is ready to send data.
This is true after a client connects but will become false after a failed call to Send or SendBytes. After a failed call to Send or SendBytes, the ReadyToSend event will fire and this field will be true when data can be sent again.
RemoteAddress
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""
This field holds the IP address of the connecting client.
RemotePort
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
This field holds the port of the connecting client.
SubProtocols
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""
This field includes the subprotocols (application-level protocols layered over the WebSocket Protocol) sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request.
Timeout
int
Default Value: 0
This field specifies a timeout for the class.
This field defines the timeout when sending data. If the Timeout field 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 throws an exception.
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 field is 0.
UploadStream
java.io.InputStream
Default Value: ""
Setting this field uploads the data in the specified stream to the current connection. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default).

The SHA-256 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.
Usage
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The text description of UsageFlags.
This value will be one or more of the following strings and will be separated by commas:
- Digital Signature
- Non-Repudiation
- Key Encipherment
- Data Encipherment
- Key Agreement
- Certificate Signing
- CRL Signing
- Encipher Only
If the provider is OpenSSL, the value is a comma-separated list of X.509 certificate extension names.
UsageFlags
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
The flags that show intended use for the certificate. The value of UsageFlags is a combination of the following flags:
0x80 | Digital Signature |
0x40 | Non-Repudiation |
0x20 | Key Encipherment |
0x10 | Data Encipherment |
0x08 | Key Agreement |
0x04 | Certificate Signing |
0x02 | CRL Signing |
0x01 | Encipher Only |
Please see the Usage field for a text representation of UsageFlags.
This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
Version
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".
Subject
String
Default Value: ""
The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
This field will be populated with the full subject of the loaded certificate. When loading a certificate, the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.
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
String
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.
EncodedB
byte[]
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
public Certificate();
Creates a instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with when generating new certificates.
public Certificate( certificateFile);
Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X.509 public key.
public Certificate( encoded);
Parses Encoded as an X.509 public key.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, subject);
StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See 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). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, subject, configurationString);
StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See 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 the 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). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, encoded);
StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store.

Firewall Type
The firewall the class will connect through.
Remarks
When connecting through a firewall, this type is used to specify different properties of the firewall, such as the firewall Host and the FirewallType.
Fields
AutoDetect
boolean
Default Value: False
Whether to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.
Connection information will first be obtained from Java system properties, such as http.proxyHost and https.proxyHost. Java properties may be set in a variety of ways; please consult the Java documentation for information about how firewall and proxy values can be specified.
If no Java system properties define connection information, the class will inspect the Windows registry for connection information that may be present on the system (applicable only on Windows systems).
FirewallType
int
Default Value: 0
The type of firewall to connect through. The applicable values are as follows:
fwNone (0) | No firewall (default setting). |
fwTunnel (1) | Connect through a tunneling proxy. Port is set to 80. |
fwSOCKS4 (2) | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
fwSOCKS5 (3) | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
fwSOCKS4A (10) | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
Host
String
Default Value: ""
The name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a Host is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.
If this field is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the class throws an exception.
Password
String
Default Value: ""
A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If Host is specified, the User and Password fields are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Port
int
Default Value: 0
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host. See the description of the Host field for details.
Note: This field is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value. See the description of the FirewallType field for details.
User
String
Default Value: ""
A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. If Host is specified, this field and the Password field are used to connect and authenticate to the given Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Constructors
public Firewall();
Proxy Type
The proxy the class will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
AuthScheme
int
Default Value: 0
The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.
AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the class will attempt basic authentication.
If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.
For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.
AutoDetect
boolean
Default Value: False
Whether to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Windows.
Password
String
Default Value: ""
A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Port
int
Default Value: 80
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.
Server
String
Default Value: ""
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.
If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
SSL
int
Default Value: 0
When to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:
psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the class will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the class will use the psNever option. |
psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL-enabled. |
psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL-enabled. |
psTunnel (3) | The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. |
User
String
Default Value: ""
A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Constructors

public Proxy( server, port, user, password);
Config Settings (AzureRelayReceiver 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.AzureRelayReceiver Config Settings
The value will be in the format:
SharedAccessSignature sr=sb%3a%2f%2fnstest.servicebus.windows.net%2fhc1&sig=a2EjYWw%2fDlg%2bPcNb%2fC7%2fxBbM11JjfgdO6ZVsQRm18Gg%3d&se=1555368805&skn=RootManageSharedAccessKey
When connected to the Azure Relay a Shared Access Token grants access to the service. After TokenValidity seconds this token will expire. To prevent disconnection the class will automatically renew the token once the remaining seconds on the life of the token is below this threshold.
For instance if AutoRenewThreshold is set to 100 (seconds). Once the class token is valid for only 99 seconds it will be automatically renewed.
The default value is 300 (seconds).
The default value is 0 (disabled).
Note: This functionality is not yet supported
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information about the connection and connecting clients.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs detailed information about each connection and the control connection.
The value 3 (Debug) logs additional debug information (if any).
WebSocketServer Config Settings
1000 (default) | Normal closure. |
1001 | The resource is going away. For instance, the server is shutting down or a browser is navigating away from the page. |
1002 | A protocol error occurred. |
1003 | Unexpected data were received (e.g., an endpoint that accepts only text data could send this if binary data are received). |
1007 | Invalid payload data were received (e.g., an endpoint that receives non-UTF-8 data in a text message could send this). |
1008 | A generic code that indicates the endpoint received a message that violates its policy. |
1009 | A message that was too large was received. |
1010 | A required extension could not be negotiated. |
1011 | An unexpected error occurred. |
When a message is fragmented, the receiving side may check the EOM parameter of the DataIn event to determine when the message is complete.
Note: When Timeout is set to 0 messages that are fragmented are always sent as individual smaller messages and EOM will always be True in the DataIn event on the receiving side.
When DefaultTimeout is set to 0 the class operates asynchronously and by default all data sent when Send is called or DataToSend is set is considered a complete message. Each packet leaving the class has the End-of-Message flag set.
To send messages which may be fragmented, set MessageLength to the length of the message (in bytes) that is being sent. When set the class will consider the next MessageLength bytes sent as part of a single message and only the last packet will set the End-of-Message flag.
This setting is helpful when data is organized into messages and the receiving side expected the End-of-Message flag to signal the end of a message.
Note: This setting is only applicable when DefaultTimeout is set to 0. When DefaultTimeout is set to a positive value the message data may be passed in its entirety to DataToSend or Send and will be automatically handled as needed by the class.
TCPServer Config Settings
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is no match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to false. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will be disconnected.
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is a match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to false. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will not be connected.
Note: This is applicable only to incoming SSL connections. This should be set only if there is a specific reason to do so.
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 thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
InBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
OutBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 and IPv4 |
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.
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.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
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:

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.
Note: This value must be set after SSLProvider is set.
Example values:

- 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.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
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:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");
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 throws an exception.
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:
