PTechManualSettle Module

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The PTechManualSettle module is used to do a Batch Settlement on all transactions that were successfully authorized with the PTECHCHARGE module in Terminal Capture mode.

Syntax

DPaymentsSDK.Ptechmanualsettle

Remarks

This class allows for a direct, secure connection to the Paymentech transaction server through a standard Internet connection. This class can be integrated into web pages or stand-alone Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the class, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers. The PTechManualSettle class is used to settle all transactions previously authorized by the PTechCharge class, when using Terminal Capture mode. Use the PTechHostSettle class when operating in Host Capture mode. (Terminal Capture is usually only used when supporting the Hotel/Lodging or Restaurant IndustryTypes.)

When a transaction is authorized, money in the customer's account is blocked and tagged for the merchant. However, funds do not actually change hands at this point. When transactions are settled with the PTechManualSettle class the funds are deducted from the customer's account and added to the merchant's. It is essential that the authorized transactions are properly recorded and resent later in a Batch Settlement when operating in Terminal Capture mode.

There are three steps to setting up the class and sending a batch settlement. First, set the MerchantNumber, TerminalNumber, ClientNumber, UserId, and Password with the information given to you when you signed up for Paymentech service. After the merchant information is setup add the transaction aggregates from the PTechCharge and/or PTechDetailRecord class to the DetailRecords array. Then call SendSettlement. The status of the settlement will be returned in the Response property.

The PTechDetailRecord class can be used to parse aggregates returned from the PTechCharge class in order to modify the transaction data (for instance, to add a gratuity or extra charge). The PTechDetailRecord class can also be used to create off-line Credit and voice authorization (Capture) transactions to be added to the batch settlement.

Thousands of detail records may be settled in the above manner, just by adding transactions to the DetailRecords array. However it is recommended that Batch Settlements be kept relatively small - around 100 transactions or so - to decrease the number of records that must be resent in the event of an error.

To Cancel a transaction that has been authorized but has not yet been settled, use the PTechReversal class to reverse the original transaction, and then remove it from the batch settlement. The reversed transaction MUST NOT be included in the DetailRecords array.

public var batchNumber: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=batchNumber,setter=setBatchNumber:) int batchNumber;

- (int)batchNumber;
- (void)setBatchNumber :(int)newBatchNumber;

Default Value

Remarks

The range of this property is 1 to 999. The BatchNumber must be incremented for each batch settlement.

ClientNumber Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

Merchant configuration property, assigned by Paymentech.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var clientNumber: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=clientNumber,setter=setClientNumber:) NSString* clientNumber;

- (NSString*)clientNumber;
- (void)setClientNumber :(NSString*)newClientNumber;

Default Value

Remarks

The ClientNumber will be supplied to you by Paymentech.

DetailRecords Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

Collection of detail records to send in the settlement.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var detailRecords: Array<PTechRecordType> {
  get {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=detailRecordCount,setter=setDetailRecordCount:) int detailRecordCount;

- (int)detailRecordCount;
- (void)setDetailRecordCount :(int)newDetailRecordCount;

- (NSString*)detailRecordAggregate:(int)detailRecordIndex;
- (void)setDetailRecordAggregate:(int)detailRecordIndex :(NSString*)newDetailRecordAggregate;

Default Value

Remarks

Each PTechRecordType object in the collection specifies an XML aggregate representing the transaction to be settled. The PTechRecordType may also specify an addenda aggregate for sending Level 2 or Level 2 and Level 3 data. The XML aggregate to be settled is generated from the PTechCharge, PTechECommerce, PTechRetail, PTechHotel, PTechHealthCare, or PTechDetailRecord class.

The following example shows how to add a detail record to the collection. PTechEcommerce1.Authorize(); PTechSettle.DetailRecords.Add(new PTechRecordType(PTechEcommerce1.GetDetailAggregate()));

Xml aggregates are used instead of directly passing Objects because it is easy to store XML aggregates in a database after authorization, and then retrieve them for settlement at the end of the business day.

Up to 1000 detail records may be settled in the above manner, just by adding a transactions to the DetailRecords property. However, it is recommended that Batch Settlements be kept relatively small - around 100 transactions or so - to decrease the number of records that must be resent in the event of an error.

IndustryType Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

Determines the merchant's industry type.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var industryType: PtechmanualsettleIndustryTypes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum PtechmanualsettleIndustryTypes: Int32 {
  case pitRetail = 0
  case pitDirectMarketing = 1
  case pitECommerce = 2
  case pitRestaurant = 3
  case pitHotel = 4
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=industryType,setter=setIndustryType:) int industryType;

- (int)industryType;
- (void)setIndustryType :(int)newIndustryType;

Default Value

Remarks

This property sets the merchant's industry type. Valid values are shown in the table below:


Industry Type	Description
pitRetail (0)	Retail environments are classified as those environments where the card and cardholder are physically present at the time of purchase.
pitDirectMarketing (1)	Mail Order or Phone Order (MOPO) environments are classified as those environments where the card and/or cardholder are not physically present at the time of purchase and the transaction is performed through the mail or over the telephone.
pitECommerce (2)	Electronic Commerce environments are classified as those environments where the card and/or cardholder are not physically present at the time of purchase and the transaction is performed over the Internet.
pitRestaurant (3)	Restaurant environments are similar to retail environments, where the card and cardholder are physically present at the time of purchase.* A gratuity may be added at the time of authorization, or before settlement. Note that the itRestaurant industry type requires merchants to use Paymentech's Terminal Capture System (TCS) to process transactions, and batches must be manually settled using the PTechManualSettle class.
pitHotel (4)	Hotel/Lodging environments allow for both card-present and card-not-present transactions* (for instance, a phoned-in reservation or a charge for a no-show). Additional hotel (PTechHotelInfo) information must be submitted in the authorization and capture. Additional charges may be added on to the initial authorization using the PTechDetailRecord class before the transaction is settled with the PTechManualSettle class. Note that the itHotel industry type requires merchants to use Paymentech's Terminal Capture System (TCS) to process transactions, and batches must be manually settled using the PTechManualSettle class.

Note: Setting the IndustryType has the side effect of changing the CardEntryDataSource to the default value for the selected industry type. In addition, setting the IndustryType to itDirectMarketing or itECommerce will also reset the PINCapability to ppNoPIN.

* Restaurant orders taken over the phone should be processed as itDirectMarketing transactions. Hotel transactions should always be processed in the itHotel IndustryType. Setting the HotelPreferredCustomer property to True.

SSLCertSubject Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var sslCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertSubject,setter=setSSLCertSubject:) NSString* SSLCertSubject;

- (NSString*)SSLCertSubject;
- (void)setSSLCertSubject :(NSString*)newSSLCertSubject;

Default Value

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:


Field	Meaning
CN	Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
O	Organization
OU	Organizational Unit
L	Locality
S	State
C	Country
E	Email Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertSubject(sslCertSubject: String) throws

SSLProvider Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var sslProvider: PtechmanualsettleSSLProviders {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum PtechmanualsettleSSLProviders: Int32 {
  case sslpAutomatic = 0
  case sslpPlatform = 1
  case sslpInternal = 2
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLProvider,setter=setSSLProvider:) int SSLProvider;

- (int)SSLProvider;
- (void)setSSLProvider :(int)newSSLProvider;

Default Value

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:


0 (sslpAutomatic - default)	Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform)	Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal)	Uses the internal implementation.

Additional Notes

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 will be used by default in all cases in the macOS edition.

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var sslServerCertEncoded: String {
  get {...}
}

public var sslServerCertEncodedB: Data {
  get {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncoded) NSString* SSLServerCertEncoded;

- (NSString*)SSLServerCertEncoded;

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncodedB) NSData* SSLServerCertEncodedB;

- (NSData*)SSLServerCertEncodedB;

Default Value

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLServerCertEncodedB(sslServerCertEncoded: Data) throws
public func setSSLServerCertEncoded(sslServerCertEncoded: String) throws

TerminalNumber Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

Terminal number assigned by Paymentech.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var terminalNumber: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=terminalNumber,setter=setTerminalNumber:) NSString* terminalNumber;

- (NSString*)terminalNumber;
- (void)setTerminalNumber :(NSString*)newTerminalNumber;

Default Value

Remarks

3-digit field assigned by Paymentech, which identifies the terminal to the host.

Timeout Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

A timeout for the module.

Syntax

Swift

  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

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 .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. 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.

UserId Property (PTechManualSettle Module)

UserId for authentication with the NetConnect Server .

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public var userId: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}


@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=userId,setter=setUserId:) NSString* userId;

- (NSString*)userId;
- (void)setUserId :(NSString*)newUserId;

Default Value

Remarks

The UserId will be supplied to you by PaymenTech.

Config Method (PTechManualSettle Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)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.

Interrupt Method (PTechManualSettle Module)

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func interrupt() throws -> Void

- (void)interrupt;

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Reset Method (PTechManualSettle Module)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func reset() throws -> Void

- (void)reset;

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Begins a Batch Settlement transaction with the Paymentech server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

public func sendSettlement() throws -> Void

- (void)sendSettlement;

Remarks

This begins a Batch Settlement transaction. The Header Record, Header2 Record, all transaction Detail Records, and the computed Trailer Record are sent sequentially to the Paymentech host.

DataPacketIn Event (PTechManualSettle Module)

Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onDataPacketIn(dataPacket: Data)

- (void)onDataPacketIn:(NSData*)dataPacket;

Remarks

This event fires when a packet is received. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting, or to extract additional response properties beyond the scope of this class.

DataPacketOut Event (PTechManualSettle Module)

Fired when sending a data packet to the transaction server.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onDataPacketOut(dataPacket: Data)

- (void)onDataPacketOut:(NSData*)dataPacket;

Remarks

This event fires right before each data packet is sent. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting.

Error Event (PTechManualSettle Module)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (PTechManualSettle Module)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onSSLServerAuthentication(certEncoded: Data, certSubject: String, certIssuer: String, status: String, accept: inout Bool)

- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (PTechManualSettle Module)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Swift
Objective-C

func onSSLStatus(message: String)

- (void)onSSLStatus:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

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

PTechRecordType Type

Detail record storage type.

Remarks

This type contains the XML aggregate for a single transaction. The fields contained by this type are listed below.

Fields

detailAggregate
String
Default Value: ""

Set this property with xml aggregates of the transactions you wish to settle.

To settle previously authorized transactions, this property must be set with the xml aggregate returned from the PTechCharge, PTechECommerce, PTechRetail, PTechHotel, PTechHealthCare, or PTechDetailRecord class's GetDetailAggregate method. For instance:

PTechManualSettle.DetailRecords.Add(new PTechRecordtype(PTechRetail1.GetDetailAggregate()));

On occasion, you may need to modify these aggregates before sending them to settlement. For instance, if you're running a restaurant you may need to add a gratuity to the charge. If you're accepting installment payments, you will need to add the installment info. To accomplish this, you may use the PTechDetailRecord class.

Constructors

batchNetAmount
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Net amount of the current batch. This property is returned after sending a BatchInquiry or BatchRelease transaction with the PTechHostSettle class, or after a SendSettlement sent using the PTechManualSettle class. This property will contain the net transaction totals of the currently open (or just released) batch. This value may be between the range "-9999999.99" to "9999999.99".

Note, when using the PTechManualSettle class to send manual batch settlements, this property will always be "00.00", because the Paymentech host is not maintaining the state of the batch.

batchNumber
String (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Current open batch number This property is returned after sending a BatchInquiry or BatchRelease transaction with the PTechHostSettle class, or after a SendSettlement sent using the PTechManualSettle class.

Note that when using the PTechManualSettle class to manually settle transactions via Paymentech's Terminal Capture System (TCS), this property will contain the original batch number incremented by one.

See the list of errors for this class for more information.

Constructors

public init()

Config Settings (PTechManualSettle Module)

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.

PTechManualSettle Config Settings

SystemInformation: System Information field for Batch Inquiry and Release transactions.

System Information that all software packages must supply to the Paymentech host when sending a Batch Inquiry or Release transaction. Unless Paymentech indicates otherwise, the value of this configuration setting should not be changed. If it is changed, it should meet the specifications below.

The class will construct the System Information data based on the following specifications:

Application Name - 7 characters
Release Date - 6 characters (MMDDYY)
EPROM / Version Number - 10 characters

For example: DIRPAYI110613VERSION6.0

HTTP Config Settings

AcceptEncoding: Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports.

When AllowHTTPCompression is True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This configuration setting allows you to change the value of the Accept-Encoding header. Note: The class only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.

AllowHTTPCompression: This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

This configuration setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to True (default), the class will accept compressed data. It then will uncompress the data it has received. The class will handle data compressed by both gzip and deflate compression algorithms.

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.

AllowHTTPFallback: Whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1.

This configuration setting controls whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fall back to HTTP/1.1 when the server does not support HTTP/2. This setting is applicable only when HTTPVersion is set to "2.0".

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 if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

Append: Whether to append data to LocalFile.

This configuration setting determines whether data will be appended when writing to LocalFile. When set to True, downloaded data will be appended to LocalFile. This may be used in conjunction with Range to resume a failed download. This is applicable only when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

Authorization: The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

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]".

BytesTransferred: Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data.

This configuration setting returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, before the component processes the data, whether it is chunked or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

ChunkSize: Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding.

This is applicable only when UseChunkedEncoding is True. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.

CompressHTTPRequest: Set to true to compress the body of a PUT or POST request.

If set to True, the body of a PUT or POST request will be compressed into gzip format before sending the request. The "Content-Encoding" header is also added to the outgoing request.

The default value is False.

EncodeURL: If set to True the URL will be encoded by the class.

If set to True, the URL passed to the class will be URL encoded. The default value is False.

FollowRedirects: Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to 1 (always), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

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 .

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 instead.

Following are the valid options:

0 - Never
1 - Always
2 - Same Scheme

GetOn302Redirect: If set to True the class will perform a GET on the new location.

The default value is False. If set to True, the class will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise, it will use the same HTTP method again.

HTTP2HeadersWithoutIndexing: HTTP2 headers that should not update the dynamic header table with incremental indexing.

HTTP/2 servers maintain a dynamic table of headers and values seen over the course of a connection. Typically, these headers are inserted into the table through incremental indexing (also known as HPACK, defined in RFC 7541). To tell the component not to use incremental indexing for certain headers, and thus not update the dynamic table, set this configuration option to a comma-delimited list of the header names.

HTTPVersion: The version of HTTP used by the class.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the class. Possible values are as follows:

"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/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.

IfModifiedSince: A date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

If this setting contains a nonempty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: if the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the component throws an exception

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example: Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

KeepAlive: Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.

If , the component will not send the Connection: Close header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note: Not all servers support persistent connections. If , the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is .

KerberosSPN: The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.

If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

LogLevel: The level of detail that is logged.

This configuration setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Log event. 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 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).

MaxRedirectAttempts: Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request.

When FollowRedirects is set to any value other than frNever, the class will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20.

NegotiatedHTTPVersion: The negotiated HTTP version.

This configuration setting may be queried after the request is complete to indicate the HTTP version used. When HTTPVersion is set to "2.0" (if the server does not support "2.0"), then the class will fall back to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which version was used.

OtherHeaders: Other headers as determined by the user (optional).
