Connects to the Azure Relay Service in order to send and receive data.
Syntax
ipworksmq.AzureRelaySender
Remarks
The AzureRelaySender class connects to the Azure Relay service using a WebSocket connection. Once the connection is established data may be sent and received over the connection.
Establishing a Connection
Connect establishes a WebSocket connection to the Azure Relay Service. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- AccessKey (required)
- AccessKeyName (required)
- HybridConnection (required)
- NamespaceAddress (required)
- Timeout
After the connection is established data may be sent by calling Send, SendText, or SendFile.
Incoming data is received through the DataIn event.
To disconnect call the Disconnect method.
Code Example
bool receivedData = false;
Azurerelaysender sender = new Azurerelaysender();
sender.OnDataIn += (s, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Received Data: " + e.Text);
receivedData = true;
};
sender.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c=";
sender.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey";
sender.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net";

Syntax
public int getBytesSent();
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property indicates how many bytes were sent after the last call to SendBytes. Please check the SendBytes method for more information.
Note: that BytesSent will always return 0 when the class is operating in synchronous mode (i.e., the Timeout property is set to a positive value.)
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Connected Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
Whether the class is connected.
Syntax
public boolean isConnected();
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property is used to determine whether or not the class is connected to the remote host. Use the Connect and Disconnect methods to manage the connection.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
DataFormat Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
This property includes the format of the data being sent.
Syntax
public int getDataFormat(); public void setDataFormat(int dataFormat); Enumerated values: public final static int dfAutomatic = 0; public final static int dfText = 1; public final static int dfBinary = 2; public final static int dfPing = 9; public final static int dfPong = 10;
Default Value
0
Remarks
When data are sent over an established connection, it is usually considered as text or binary data. Text data are UTF-8 encoded. Binary data has 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 may also be supplied. |
2 (dfBinary) | The class will send the data exactly as provided. |
9 (dfPing) | The class will send the ping with data exactly as provided. |
10 (dfPong) | The class will send the pong with data exactly as provided. |
Firewall Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
A set of properties related to firewall access.
Syntax
public Firewall getFirewall(); public void setFirewall(Firewall firewall);
Remarks
This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.HybridConnection Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
The hybrid connection name.
Syntax
public String getHybridConnection(); public void setHybridConnection(String hybridConnection);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This setting specifies the name of the hybrid connection that was created in the Azure portal. For instance hc1.
LocalHost Property (AzureRelaySender 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.
LocalPort Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
The TCP port in the local host where the class binds.
Syntax
public int getLocalPort(); public void setLocalPort(int localPort);
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.
Setting this property to 0 (default) enables the system to choose an open port at random. The chosen port will be returned by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this property when a connection is active will generate an error.
This property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.
NamespaceAddress Property (AzureRelaySender 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.
OtherHeaders Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
Other headers as determined by the user (optional).
Syntax
public String getOtherHeaders(); public void setOtherHeaders(String otherHeaders);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers created from other properties like ContentType and From.
The headers must follow the format Header: Value as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This property is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.
This property is not available at design time.
ParsedHeaders Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
This property includes a collection of headers returned from the last request.
Syntax
public HeaderList getParsedHeaders();
Remarks
This property contains a collection of headers returned from the last request. Whenever headers are returned from the server, the headers are parsed into a collection of headers. Each Header in this collection contains information describing that header.
MaxHeaders can be used to control the maximum number of headers saved.
This collection is indexed from 0 to size -1.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Please refer to the Header type for a complete list of fields.Proxy Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
A set of properties related to proxy access.
Syntax
public Proxy getProxy(); public void setProxy(Proxy proxy);
Remarks
This property contains fields describing the proxy through which the class will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Proxy type for a complete list of fields.ReadyToSend Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
This property indicates whether the class is ready to send data.
Syntax
public boolean isReadyToSend();
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data. This is True after connecting to the remote host and will become False after a failed SendBytes.
After a failed SendBytes, the ReadyToSend event will fire and this property will be True when data can be sent again.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
Instructs the class to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
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 (AzureRelaySender Class)
The certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);
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.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLProvider Property (AzureRelaySender 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 (AzureRelaySender 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.SubProtocols Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
This property includes optional subprotocols supported by the client.
Syntax
public String getSubProtocols(); public void setSubProtocols(String subProtocols);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is optional. Set this property to one or more comma-separated subprotocols that the client supports. These should be provided in order of preference (e.g., chat, superchat).
The server will accept one subprotocol during the connection. After the connection is established, this property will be updated by the class to reflect the value the server chose. Query this property to determine the negotiated subprotocol.
This property is not available at design time.
Timeout Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
This property includes the timeout for the class.
Syntax
public int getTimeout(); public void setTimeout(int timeout);
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 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 property is 60 seconds.
TransferredHeaders Property (AzureRelaySender Class)
The full set of headers as received from the server.
Syntax
public String getTransferredHeaders();
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.
The Header event shows the individual headers as parsed by the class.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Config Method (AzureRelaySender 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.
Connect Method (AzureRelaySender Class)

Remarks
This method disconnects from the remote host. Calling this method is equivalent to setting the Connected property to False.
DoEvents Method (AzureRelaySender 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 (AzureRelaySender Class)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
public void interrupt();
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

SendText Method (AzureRelaySender Class)
This method sends text data to the server.
Syntax
public void sendText(String text);
Remarks
This method sends data as text to the server. 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.
SetReceiveStream Method (AzureRelaySender Class)
This method sets the stream to which received data will be written.
Syntax
public void setReceiveStream(java.io.OutputStream receiveStream);
Remarks
This method sets the stream to which received data will be written. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The class will write all incoming data to this stream. The downloaded content will be written starting at the current position in the stream.
SetSendStream Method (AzureRelaySender Class)
This method reads content from the stream and sends it to the server.
Syntax
public void setSendStream(java.io.InputStream sendStream);
Remarks
This method reads content from the stream and sends it to the server. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The call will return only after the end of stream has been reached. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is set to True (default). The content will be read starting at the current position in the stream.
This method requires Timeout be set to a positive value. This allows the class to ensure that the data are transferred completely without a WOULDBLOCK error. See Timeout for details.
Connected Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
This event is fired immediately after the WebSocket handshake completes (or fails).
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void connected(AzureRelaySenderConnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderConnectedEvent { 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.
ConnectionStatus Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
This event is fired to indicate changes in connection state.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void connectionStatus(AzureRelaySenderConnectionStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderConnectionStatusEvent { public String connectionEvent; public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes, such as completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
SSL handshake complete (where applicable). | |
WebSocket handshake complete. | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
WebSocket connection broken. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
DataIn Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
This event is fired when data are received.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void dataIn(AzureRelaySenderDataInEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderDataInEvent { public int dataFormat; public byte[] text; public boolean EOM; public boolean EOL; }
Remarks
The DataIn event provides the data received from the remote host.
The incoming data are provided through the Text parameter.
The DataFormat parameter identifies the encoding (if any) of the data. Possible value are as follows:
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.
Disconnected Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired when a connection is closed.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void disconnected(AzureRelaySenderDisconnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderDisconnectedEvent { public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".
If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
Error Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void error(AzureRelaySenderErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class throws an exception.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
Header Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax

Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.
If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
Log Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void log(AzureRelaySenderLogEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderLogEvent { 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"
ReadyToSend Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
This event is fired when the class is ready to send data.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void readyToSend(AzureRelaySenderReadyToSendEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderReadyToSendEvent { }
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.
Redirect Event (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired when a redirection is received from the server.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void redirect(AzureRelaySenderRedirectEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderRedirectEvent { 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 (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void SSLServerAuthentication(AzureRelaySenderSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderSSLServerAuthenticationEvent { 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 (AzureRelaySender Class)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public class DefaultAzureRelaySenderEventListener implements AzureRelaySenderEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(AzureRelaySenderSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class AzureRelaySenderSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

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
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).
WebSocketClient 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 Timeout is set to 0, the class operates asynchronously and by default all data sent when Send is called is considered a complete message. Each packet leaving the class has the End-of-Message flag set.
To send messages that 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 are organized into messages and the receiving side expected the End-of-Message flag to signal the end of a message.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when Timeout is set to 0. When Timeout is set to a positive value, the message data may be passed in its entirety to Send and will be automatically handled as needed by the class.
The HTTP protocol specifies the structure of the StatusLine as: [HTTP version] [Result Code] [Description].
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.
The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
The default value is False.
If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the class throws an exception.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class throws an exception instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/2 is supported on all platforms. The class will use the internal security implementation in all cases when connecting.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is false.
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 status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified.
When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.
Override the default with the name and version of your software.
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 setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the class acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
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.
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:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA; SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA");

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.
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:

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:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
