FIProfile Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The FIProfile control is a single component that supports the SignOn and FI Profile functions of Open Financial eXchange, as described by the OFX Specification version 1.0.2.
Syntax
DPayments.InEBank.FIProfile
Remarks
The FIProfile component provides the ability to download an OFX Financial Institution Profile. These profiles contain information about how to communicate with the financial institution, such as what message sets are supported and what URLs to post to for them as well as the type of data that is supported for sign on.
To use the FIProfile component, first identify the financial institution by setting the FIId, FIOrganization and FIUrl, properties. Next identify the OFX user and application by setting the OFXUser, OFXPassword, OFXAppId and OFXAppVersion properties. Use the ClientRouting property to notify the server as to the client's routing capabilities. Finally, set the LastUpdate property to the date of the most recent profile request. Then just call the GetProfile method to retrieve the financial institution's profile.
To determine whether the client has the latest version of the FI profile, the server checks the date and time passed by the client in LastUpdate. If the client has the latest version of the FI profile, the server does not return a profile specific response. In this case, the ServerMessage will contain the message returned by the server (such as: 'Up to date', etc.).

ChallengeQuestions Property (FIProfile Component)
A list of MFA challenge question/answer pairs required for Multi-Factor Authentication.
Syntax
public ChallengeDetailList ChallengeQuestions { get; }
Public Property ChallengeQuestions As ChallengeDetailList
Remarks
This is used when the RequestChallengeQuestions and SendChallengeAnswers methods are called.
The Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is supported only in OFXVersions: 1.0.3, 2.0.3, 2.1.0, and 2.1.1 and even with these OFX versions, this depends on FI itself. Not all FIs support this option.
A way to know if your FI supports and requires the MFA during sign on is to check the MFAChallengeFirst and MFAChallengeReq when the GetProfile method is called. If the MFAChallengeReq returned by the server is True, then the user has to call the RequestChallengeQuestions method.
Upon successful response, the QuestionId, Question, and Aggregate will be populated. By knowing these, the user then can send the MFA answers (via setting the corresponding Answer for each QuestionId) back to the server by calling the SendChallengeAnswers method.
This property is not available at design time.
Please refer to the ChallengeDetail type for a complete list of fields.ClientRouting Property (FIProfile Component)

Syntax
public FIMessageSetList MessageSets { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property MessageSets As FIMessageSetList
Remarks
This property will contain the list of all message sets supported by this FI that are specific to this user.
OFX separates messages that the client and server send into groups called message sets. Each FI defines the message sets that the institution supports.
Each message set contains options and attributes that allow an FI to customize its use of OFX. For example, an institution can support the Interbank Funds Transfer Message Set (i.e., one of the returned Name is INTERXFERMSGSETV1), but it can choose not to support the recurring form of these transfers. The profile defines the options and attributes as part of each message-set definition.
Each set of options and attributes appears within the Aggregate that is specific to a message set. For example, Aggregate for Name='WIREXFERMSGSETV1', contains all of the options and attributes that pertain to wire transfers.
This is populated when the GetProfile method has been called. It should be inspected for each MessageSetIndex = 0 to MessageSetCount - 1.
Each message set has a Aggregate, ClosingInfoAvailability, ClosingInfoImage, Language, Name, Recovery, Refresh, SecurityLevel, ServiceProvider, SignOnRealm, SyncMode, TransportSecurity, TxImage, URL, and Version tied to it.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Please refer to the FIMessageSet type for a complete list of fields.OFXAccessKey Property (FIProfile Component)
Access key value received after a MFA authentication in a previous signon.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This might be returned in the server response after a MFA authentication (i.e. MFA challenge question/answer pairs were validated by the server when the SendChallengeAnswers method in FIProfile component was called).
To prevent servers from needing to authenticate the user in each OFX request, the server may respond to a correct set of challenge answers with a OFXAccessKey on the signon response (when the SendChallengeAnswers method in FIProfile component was called).
The server determines the contents of this optional element. On each subsequent signon request, the client will send the last value of the OFXAccessKey it has received, even after the end of the current session. The server has the option to respond to any subsequent request with a 3000 error code, requiring the client to send the MFA challenge questions request again (by calling the RequestChallengeQuestions method in FIProfile component). This allows the server to determine the lifetime of the OFXAccessKey.
OFXAppId Property (FIProfile Component)

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
OFXResponse Property (FIProfile Component)
The current OFX response aggregate.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This can be used especially for debugging purposes. This can also be used to parse an OFX Response. To do so, you can set the OFX Response data (in string format) to OFXResponse. Once set, the supplied OFX data will be parsed and will populate the same read-only properties that ReadOFXDataFile does.
This property is not available at design time.
OFXUser Property (FIProfile Component)
User's id.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This is the UserID used when signing on to the OFX Financial Institution's service.
OFXVersion Property (FIProfile Component)
OFX API version
Syntax
Default Value
"102"
Remarks
This is the OFX API version used in all requests sent to your FI server (such as 1.0.2, 2.0.1, 2.1.1, etc.). Valid values: 102, 103, 200, 201, 203, 210, 211. Note that not all OFX Versions are supported by FIs.
Note: If the OFXVersion is set to 1x, the request and the response are going to be in SGML format. If set to 2x, the request will be in XML format (the response format depends on the FI's server capabilities). Note that if the OFX FI server does not support version 2x, the server will return an error (such as 'Bad Request').
Certain services are available only for a specific OFX version. For example, image download, is available only in OFX version 2.1.1.
SignOnDetails Property (FIProfile Component)
A list of sign on details for the current Financial Institution.
Syntax
public SignOnDetailList SignOnDetails { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property SignOnDetails As SignOnDetailList

Each sign on info has a Aggregate, AuthToken, AuthTokenFirst, AuthTokenUrl, CaseSensitive, CharType, ClientUIdReq, MaxPwdLength, MinPwdLength, MFAChallengeFirst, MFAChallengeReq, PINChange, PINChangeFirst, Realm, Spaces, Special, UserCred1Q, and UserCred2Q tied to it.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Please refer to the SignOnDetail type for a complete list of fields.SSLAcceptServerCert Property (FIProfile Component)
Instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert { get; set; }
Public Property SSLAcceptServerCert As Certificate
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the component 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 (FIProfile Component)

The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
public FIProfileSSLProviders SSLProvider { get; set; }
enum FIProfileSSLProviders { sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal }
Public Property SSLProvider As FiprofileSSLProviders
Enum FIProfileSSLProviders sslpAutomatic sslpPlatform sslpInternal End Enum
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 component 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 component will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used on all platforms.
The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.
SSLServerCert Property (FIProfile Component)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLServerCert { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property SSLServerCert As Certificate
Remarks
This property contains the server certificate for the last established connection.

This property is read-only.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.Timeout Property (FIProfile Component)
The timeout for the component.
Syntax
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 component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The component 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 component 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.
Config Method (FIProfile Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.
GetProfile Method (FIProfile Component)

Syntax
public void RequestChallengeQuestions();
Public Sub RequestChallengeQuestions()
Remarks
This function generates the Signon and Multi-Factor Authentication challenge questions request page, submits it to the financial institution via HTTP, receives the response, and parses it.
When sending requests to a FI, if the information in the signon request is correct, but it is not sufficient to authenticate the user, the server can reply with a signon error code of 3000, which indicates that the client must perform multi-factor challenge authentication before proceeding with future OFX requests.
When this error is returned, the user should call this RequestChallengeQuestions method, which request the server to send a list of challenge questions that must be correctly answered before the OFX client may proceed with further OFX requests.
Upon successful response, the server will return a list of challenge questions, stored to ChallengeQuestions, where each question is specified by QuestionId and Question. If the server does not return such list, the component will throw an HTTP 400 error.
The user should inspect the ChallengeQuestions. When this list of challenge questions is returned, then the user has to answer each question by setting the Answer for each Question, and then call the SendChallengeAnswers method to send the answers back to the server. The component will include these answers within the signon request included as part of the next request message. If these answers are correct, the server will process the request file. If they are incorrect, the server will return an error code of 3001.
When MFA is required, to prevent servers from needing to authenticate the user with each OFX request, the server may respond to a correct set of challenge answers with a OFXAccessKey on the signon response. However, the server determines the contents of this optional element. On each subsequent signon request, the client will send the last value of the OFXAccessKey it has received, even after the end of the current session. The server has the option to respond to any subsequent request with a 3000 error code, requiring the client to send the MFA challenge questions request. This allows the server to determine the lifetime of the OFXAccessKey.
Note: If in the profile response MFAChallengeFirst is True, the client must send this MFA challenge request in the first connection with the server, before sending any other requests.
The following properties are populated as a result of parsing a successful response:
Note: The Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is applicable only in OFXVersions: 1.0.3, 2.0.3, 2.1.0, and 2.1.1.

ConnectionStatus Event (FIProfile Component)
Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
public event OnConnectionStatusHandler OnConnectionStatus; public delegate void OnConnectionStatusHandler(object sender, FIProfileConnectionStatusEventArgs e); public class FIProfileConnectionStatusEventArgs : EventArgs { public string ConnectionEvent { get; } public int StatusCode { get; } public string Description { get; } }
Public Event OnConnectionStatus As OnConnectionStatusHandler Public Delegate Sub OnConnectionStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As FIProfileConnectionStatusEventArgs) Public Class FIProfileConnectionStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property ConnectionEvent As String Public ReadOnly Property StatusCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class
Remarks
This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, 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. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |

SSLServerAuthentication Event (FIProfile Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication; public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, FIProfileSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e); public class FIProfileSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs { public string CertEncoded { get; }
public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; } public string CertSubject { get; } public string CertIssuer { get; } public string Status { get; } public bool Accept { get; set; } }
Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As FIProfileSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs) Public Class FIProfileSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte() Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String Public ReadOnly Property Status As String Public Property Accept As Boolean End Class
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 (FIProfile Component)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus; public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, FIProfileSSLStatusEventArgs e); public class FIProfileSSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Message { get; } }
Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As FIProfileSSLStatusEventArgs) Public Class FIProfileSSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Message As String End Class

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 component will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

ChallengeDetail Type
This type corresponds to a single MFA challenge question/answer pair.
Remarks
This type is used when the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required by the FI, as a second layer of password protection.
ChallengeDetail objects are used when requesting challenge questions from your FI (when the RequestChallengeQuestions is called) and sending back challenge answers (when the SendChallengeAnswers method is called).
Note: The Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is applicable only in OFXVersions: 1.0.3, 2.0.3, 2.1.0, and 2.1.1.
Fields
Aggregate
string (read-only)
Default: ""
Wrapper for a MFA challenge question.
Each challenge question aggregate contains elements and values associated with the following fields:
Aggregates are pieces of XML taken from the financial institution's original response. They contain elements that correspond to many of the component's fields. However, some of these elements, and/or their potential values, may not be supported by the component. Any user who wishes to use unsupported fields may use this aggregate property to parse out the desired data either via our OFXAggregate component or any other means.
Note: The original data from the server is returned as SGML or XML (depending on the value of OFXVersion that FI supports. If the original data is returned in SGML format, the component internally manipulates these responses into the equivalent XML format by inserting close element tags (e.g., "</ACCTID>") into the data as it comes from the server.
Answer
string
Default: ""
User's answer to the challenge question identified by QuestionId.
Depending on the value of QuestionId, this answer can be collected by user or client. Values above MFA100 are reserved for questions that the server expects the client to answer. These do not require customer responses. All other IDs as well as server specific IDs expect customer responses. Clients may need to identify out of band which of the IDs above MFA100 they support.
Question
string (read-only)
Default: ""
The textual challenge question.
The following table details the list of possible reserved values for QuestionId and corresponding textual description of the challenge question:
QuestionId | Question |

Fields
Aggregate
string (read-only)
Default: ""
Wrapper for a message set.
A list of all of a given Financial Institution's supported services are stored in a series of aggregates called 'Message Sets'.
Each message set aggregate contains data (elements and values) associated with the following fields:
- Name
- Language
- Recovery
- Refresh
- SecurityLevel
- ServiceProvider
- SignOnRealm
- SyncMode

Aggregates are pieces of XML taken from the financial institution's original response. They contain elements that correspond to many of the component's fields. However, some of these elements, and/or their potential values, may not be supported by the component. Any user who wishes to use unsupported fields may use this aggregate property to parse out the desired data either via our OFXAggregate component or any other means.
Note: The original data from the server is returned as SGML or XML (depending on the value of OFXVersion that FI supports. If the original data is returned in SGML format, the component internally manipulates these responses into the equivalent XML format by inserting close element tags (e.g., "</ACCTID>") into the data as it comes from the server.
ClosingInfoAvailability

Config Settings (FIProfile Component)
The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.OFX Config Settings
In the profile response, if AuthTokenFirst is True, then AuthToken should be sent in the very first signon.
When submitting the request: all your input dates should be entered in a format specified by DateFormat and the component will convert those to OFXDateFormat right before sending the request.
For example, if you set a date to '2000.01.01' (by first setting the DateFormat to 'yyyy.MM.dd'), for a EST timezone, the component will convert it to '20000101000000.000[-5:EST]' (format specified by OFXDateFormat).
When parsing the response: if DateFormat is set to a non-empty string, the component will attempt to use the value as a pattern to format all date strings as they are returned. Otherwise, the system's default value will be used for formatting.
If the DateFormat is set to the special value "OFXDATE": During input:, any values you supply to date properties are passed to the server directly with no changes; During output: all dates will be returned in the OFX format as it was provided by the server without performing any modifications.
To obtain a response value, pass the XPath to the value you wish to receive. For instance, if the OFX response contains:
"<OFX><SIGNONMSGSRSV1><SONRS><STATUS><CODE>0<SEVERITY>INFO</STATUS><DTSERVER>20120104223836.575<LANGUAGE>ENG"
Then calling GetResponseVar("/OFX/SIGNONMSGSRVSV1/LANGUAGE") will return "ENG".
The correct current password is needed as well during signon request and must be supplied through the OFXPassword. Upon successful reply from the server, the NewPassword used becomes the new password.
Your input dates should be entered in a format specified by DateFormat and the component will convert those to OFXDateFormat (format that OFX FI server recognizes) right before sending the request.
For example, if you set a date to '2000.01.01' (by first setting the DateFormat to 'yyyy.MM.dd'), for a EST timezone, the component will convert it to '20000101000000.000[-5:EST]' (format specified by OFXDateFormat).
Please note that ReadOFXDataFile will not be able to parse this file because of the OFX request content present. If only the response of the server is required, please look at the WriteOFXDataFile method instead.
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the component 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 component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the component throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.
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 component 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 component 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") or HTTP/3 ("3.0"), 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 component 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 versions of Windows. If the Windows version is an earlier version than Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2, the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, the system security libraries will be used by default.
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 component 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 component 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 components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the component 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 components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by components 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 components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components 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 component 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 component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component 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
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The component will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found, the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is as follows:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
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 component 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 component is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. 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 component 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 component 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.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

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 component 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 component 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 component 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 component 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:

This functionality is currently not available in Java or when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the component 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 component 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)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Base Config Settings
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.
- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.
If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.
Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.
When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
