EzAddress Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
Checks U.S. shipping addresses.
Syntax
dshippingsdk.Ezaddress
Remarks
The EzAddress class provides a standardized interface to all 3 supported carriers. This allows you to reduce the code needed to create an application supporting multiple carriers. For more fine grained control over settings specific to individual carriers you may wish to use the class that is specific to the carrier.
To use the class, first set the address properties (such as Address1 and ZipCode), and then call ValidateAddress.
In cases where no combinations are found, the class throws an exception.
Once the request has been successfully submitted and combinations are found, the class returns the Matches collection that contains a list of valid city/state/zip combinations that closely match the address.
To use this class, you must set the appropriate Account settings for the specified Provider.

Remarks
This property must be set when connecting to the server. It contains server and login information.
Address Property (EzAddress Class)
Identifies the address to be validated.
Syntax
public AddressDetail getAddress(); public void setAddress(AddressDetail address);
Remarks
This property is required to be provided in the request when the ValidateAddress method is called.
The City and State are required to be set only if the ZipCode are not present in the request. Otherwise those are optional.
This must be set to an instance of the AddressDetail type. See the AddressDetail type for more information.
Firewall Property (EzAddress 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.
Matches Property (EzAddress Class)
Collection of address candidates that meet the search criteria.
Syntax
public MatchDetailList getMatches();
Remarks
This property will contain the collection of all address candidates. It should be inspected after a call to ValidateAddress. Each match has a City, State, ZipCode, and other optional fields tied to it. The closest match is returned first.
For instance, if the response contains only one address candidate:
m_quality = class.Matches[0].Quality;
m_address = class.Matches[0].Address1;
m_city = class.Matches[0].City;
m_state = class.Matches[0].State;
m_country = class.Matches[0].CountryCode;
This property is read-only.
Provider Property (EzAddress Class)
Which provider to use.
Syntax
public int getProvider(); public void setProvider(int provider); Enumerated values: public final static int pFedEx = 0; public final static int pUPS = 1; public final static int pUSPS = 2; public final static int pCanadaPost = 3;
Default Value
0
Remarks
The "Ez" classs support FedEx, UPS, USPS, and Canada Post servers. This property tells the class which protocol to use.
NOTE: When this property is set, all properties of the class will be reset to their default values.
Proxy Property (EzAddress Class)
This property includes 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.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (EzAddress 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.
Please note that this functionality is provided only for cases where 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.
SSLCert Property (EzAddress Class)
The certificate to be used during SSL negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);
Remarks
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.
SSLProvider Property (EzAddress Class)
This specifies the 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:
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 (EzAddress Class)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLServerCert();
Remarks
SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Timeout Property (EzAddress Class)
A 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.
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.
Config Method (Ezaddress 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.
Reset Method (Ezaddress Class)
Resets the internal state of the class and all properties to their default values.
Syntax
public void reset();
Remarks
The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.
The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.
ValidateAddress Method (Ezaddress Class)
Returns corrected and standardized address information.
Syntax
public void validateAddress();
Remarks

This method is used to verify and correct the address specified by the Address. Any of the following input combinations are valid:
Error Event (Ezaddress Class)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public class DefaultEzaddressEventListener implements EzaddressEventListener { ... public void error(EzaddressErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class EzaddressErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String 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.
Notification Event (Ezaddress Class)
Notification returned by the server upon successful request (if applicable).
Syntax
public class DefaultEzaddressEventListener implements EzaddressEventListener { ... public void notification(EzaddressNotificationEvent e) {} ... } public class EzaddressNotificationEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
When sending a request, the server may return with a successful reply or an error. However, even when a transaction is successful, a warning or a note might still be returned by the server. In such cases, the Notification event is fired.
Notifications returned through this event are non-fatal and shipments will still be processes, labels will still be printable, rates are still returned, etc. These notifications should be treated as informational only.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (Ezaddress Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public class DefaultEzaddressEventListener implements EzaddressEventListener { ... public void SSLServerAuthentication(EzaddressSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {} ... } public class EzaddressSSLServerAuthenticationEvent { public byte[] certEncoded; public String certSubject; public String certIssuer; public String status; public boolean accept; }
Remarks
This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. 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 to continue or not.
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 (Ezaddress Class)
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
public class DefaultEzaddressEventListener implements EzaddressEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(EzaddressSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class EzaddressSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

When loading a certificate the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store. If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property. If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected. The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store. The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.
If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted. |

The fields contained by this type are listed below.
Fields
AccessKey String |
An identifier required to connect to UPS. A UserId, Password and AccessKey will be required for each request sent to UPS. This field is only applicable to UPS accounts. This Access Key is provided to you by UPS. For this, please visit http://www.ups.com/e_comm_access/gettools_index?loc=en_US and follow the steps as instructed on that page. Please read the instructions carefully. You should register first, and after reviewing and accepting the UPS User Agreement, you should submit a request for an UPS OnLine Tools Developer's Key. After the request has been submitted, your Developer's Key will be emailed to the email address you provided to UPS during registration process. After obtaining the Developer's Key, you can then submit a request for the Access License Key (for XML tools). This will also be sent to you via email. Please save it as it is required to be used with all requests sent to any UPS server (via our class which utilizes UPS Online Tools). An Access Key provides access to UPS systems, which hold the information you or your customers need to ship, track, or rate a package. Your Developer's Key lets you get UPS OnLine Tool documentation; the Access Key lets you actually implement UPS OnLine Tools. You need only one Access Key for access to all UPS OnLine Tools. However, if multiple locations or departments will be accessing the Tools, a great way to monitor and assess usage is to have an Access Key per location. UPS recommends each site implementation of your EC (E-Commerce) solution have separate Access Keys. An example would be a company that is implementing the Tools into three parts of their organization in three different cities. In this case, it is recommended that you obtain three separate Access Keys to uniquely identify each site. If you have Production access for an API, you can still access the Test environment. If you have Test access for one or more APIs, you must Request Production Access in order to use those APIs for production requests. This is not to be shared with others outside your organization, nor is it to be packaged, distributed, or sold to any other person or entity. Sharing the security elements (UserId, Password, AccessKey, and DeveloperKey) with third parties is strictly prohibited as expressed in the UPS Developer Agreement. |

DeveloperKey String |
Identifying part of the authentication key used for the sender's identity. The DeveloperKey is part of the authentication string used to verify sender's identity. This credential is used to authenticate a specific software application, so that your transactions are recognized by the FedEx back-end systems. The Developer Key is provided to you by FedEx after registration and it is the publicly known part of authentication credential. The DeveloperKey, AccountNumber, MeterNumber, and Password will be required with each input request a user makes to a FedEx server. This is not to be shared with others outside your organization, nor is it to be packaged, distributed, or sold to any other person or entity. This field is only applicable to FedEx servers. |
MeterNumber String |
Meter number to use for submitting requests to the FedEx Server. An AccountNumber and MeterNumber will be required with each input request a user makes to a FedEx server.

Proxy Type
This is the proxy the class will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
AuthScheme int |
This field is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set. AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected. By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead. If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token. If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used. For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password. |
||||||||
AutoDetect boolean |
This field tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false. Note: This setting is applicable only in Windows. |
||||||||
Password String |
This field contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy. If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password]. If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation. |
||||||||
Port int |
This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details. |
||||||||
Server String |
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified. If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned. |
||||||||
SSL int |
This field determines when to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:
|
||||||||
User String |
This field contains a user name, if authentication is to be used for the proxy. If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password]. If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation. |

Config Settings (Ezaddress Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.EzAddress Config Settings | ||||||||||||||
HasXPath: Determines whether a specific element exists in the document.This method determines whether a particular XPath exists within the document. This may be used to check if a path exists before setting it via XPath. This method returns True if the XPath exists, False if not. | ||||||||||||||
RawRequest: Contains the complete request sent to the Server.This returns the complete request as sent to the server. Used for debugging purposes. | ||||||||||||||
RawResponse: Contains the complete response returned by the Server.This returns the complete response as received from the server. Used for debugging purposes. | ||||||||||||||
XAttrCount: The number of records in the XAttr arrays.This property controls the size of the following arrays: | ||||||||||||||
XAttrName[i]: The name of the indexed attribute.The size of the array is controlled by XAttrCount. | ||||||||||||||
XAttrValue[i]: The value of the indexed attribute.The size of the array is controlled by XAttrCount. | ||||||||||||||
XChildCount: The number of records in the XChild arrays.This property controls the size of the following arrays: | ||||||||||||||
XChildElement[i]: The name of the indexed child element.The size of the array is controlled by XChildCount. | ||||||||||||||
XChildText[i]: The text of the indexed child element.The size of the array is controlled by XChildCount. | ||||||||||||||
XElement: The name of the current element.The current element is specified via the XPath. | ||||||||||||||
XParent: The parent of the current element.The current element is specified via the XPath. | ||||||||||||||
XPath:
Used to set the XPath within the response from the server.XPath implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the RawResponse. XPath is 1-indexed.
The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current XPath location.
The following are possible values for an element accessor:
|
||||||||||||||
XText: The text of the current element.The current element is specified via the XPath. | ||||||||||||||
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 throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2. The default value is True. |
||||||||||||||
AllowNTLMFallback: Whether to allow fallback from Negotiate to NTLM when authenticating.This configuration setting applies only when AuthScheme is set to Negotiate. If set to True, the class will automatically use New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM) if the server does not support Negotiate authentication. Note: The server must indicate that it supports NTLM authentication through the WWW-Authenticate header for the fallback from Negotiate to NTLM to take place. The default value is False. | ||||||||||||||
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 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:
|
||||||||||||||
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:
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 NotesWhen 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 NotesHTTP/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:
|
||||||||||||||
KeepAlive:
Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.If True, 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. You also may explicitly add the Keep-Alive header to the request headers by setting OtherHeaders to Connection: Keep-Alive.
If False, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.
The default value for KeepAlive is False. |
||||||||||||||
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:
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). |
||||||||||||||
MaxHeaders:
Instructs class to save the amount of headers specified that are returned by the server after a Header event has been fired.This configuration setting should be set when the TransferredHeaders collection is to be populated when a Header event has been fired.
This value represents the number of headers that are to be saved 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. |
||||||||||||||
MaxHTTPCookies:
Instructs class to save the amount of cookies specified that are returned by the server when a SetCookie event is fired.This configuration setting should be set when populating the Cookies collection as a result of an HTTP request. This value represents the number of
cookies that are to be saved 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. |
||||||||||||||
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).This configuration setting can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers.
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. |
||||||||||||||
ProxyAuthorization: The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server.This is similar to the Authorization configuration setting, but is used for proxy authorization. If this configuration setting contains a nonempty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy Authorization information to the server. If User and Password are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by AuthScheme. | ||||||||||||||
ProxyAuthScheme: The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy.This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties. | ||||||||||||||
ProxyPassword: A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties. | ||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||
UseChunkedEncoding:
Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.If UseChunkedEncoding is set to True, the class will use HTTP-chunked encoding when posting, if possible.
HTTP-chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once.
If set to False, the class will not use HTTP-chunked encoding. The default value is False.
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding. |
||||||||||||||
UseIDNs:
Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.This configuration setting specifies whether hostnames containing non-ASCII characters are encoded to internationalized domain names. When set to True, if a hostname contains non-ASCII characters, it is encoded using Punycode to an IDN (internationalized domain name).
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. |
||||||||||||||
UsePlatformDeflate: Whether to use the platform implementation to decompress compressed responses.This configuration setting specifies whether the platform's deflate-algorithm implementation is used to decompress responses that use compression. If set to True (default), the platform implementation is used. If set to False, an internal implementation is used. | ||||||||||||||
UsePlatformHTTPClient: Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client.When using this configuration setting, if True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform (URLConnection in Java, WebRequest in .NET, or CFHTTPMessage in Mac/iOS) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments in which direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (e.g., in the Google AppEngine). | ||||||||||||||
UseProxyAutoConfigURL:
Whether to use a Proxy auto-config file when attempting a connection.This configuration specifies whether the class will attempt to use the Proxy auto-config URL when establishing a connection and AutoDetect is set to True.

Information about the user agent (browser).This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default
setting is "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com".
Override the default with the name and version of your software. |
||||||||||||||
TCPClient Config Settings | ||||||||||||||
CloseStreamAfterTransfer: If true, the component will close the upload or download stream after the transfer.This setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. In order to keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. the default value is True. | ||||||||||||||
ConnectionTimeout: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data. | ||||||||||||||
FirewallAutoDetect: Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | ||||||||||||||
FirewallHost:
Name or IP address of firewall (optional).If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall
when connecting.
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. |
||||||||||||||
FirewallListener:
If true, the component binds to a SOCKS firewall as a server (TCPClient only).This entry is for TCPClient only and does not work for other components that descend from TCPClient.
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. |
||||||||||||||
FirewallPassword:
Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings
are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. |
||||||||||||||
FirewallPort:
The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. |
||||||||||||||

Determines the type of firewall to connect through.The appropriate values are as follows:
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. |
||||||||||||||
FirewallUser:
A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword
settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. |
||||||||||||||
KeepAliveInterval:
The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True.
A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as
defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet
will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds.
This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS. |
||||||||||||||
KeepAliveTime: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds. | ||||||||||||||
Linger:
When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.
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. |
||||||||||||||
LingerTime: Time in seconds to have the connection linger. LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout. | ||||||||||||||
LocalHost:
The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.
The LocalHost setting 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 multi-homed 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface). |
||||||||||||||
LocalPort:
The port in the local host where the class binds.
This 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 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; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems. |
||||||||||||||
MaxLineLength:
The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL
string.
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. |
||||||||||||||
MaxTransferRate: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit. | ||||||||||||||
ProxyExceptionsList:
A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use.
When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com |
||||||||||||||
TCPKeepAlive:
Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically
to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to
configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.
Note: This value is not applicable in Java. |
||||||||||||||
TcpNoDelay:
Whether or not to delay when sending packets.
When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When
false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals.
This is known as the Nagle algorithm.
By default, this config is set to false. |
||||||||||||||
UseIPv6:
Whether to use IPv6.When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively.
When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0.
Possible values are:
|
||||||||||||||
UseNTLMv2: Whether to use NTLM V2.When authenticating with NTLM, this setting specifies whether NTLM V2 is used. By default this value is False and NTLM V1 will be used. Set this to True to use NTLM V2. | ||||||||||||||
SSL Config Settings | ||||||||||||||
LogSSLPackets:
Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this setting controls whether SSL packets should be logged. By default, this setting is False, as it is only useful for debugging purposes.
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 setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform. |
||||||||||||||
ReuseSSLSession:
Determines if the SSL session is reused.
If set to true, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
|
||||||||||||||
SSLCACerts:
A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL client authentication.This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing
SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented
when performing SSL client authentication. The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

||||||||||||||
SSLCheckCRL:
Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.This setting specifies whether the class will check the Certificate Revocation List specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The class will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the class throws an exception.
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 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 only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems. |
||||||||||||||
SSLCheckOCSP:
Whether to use OCSP to check the status of the server certificate.This setting specifies whether the class will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the OCSP URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The class will then locate the issuing certificate and make an HTTP request to the OCSP endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the class throws an exception.
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 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 only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems. |
||||||||||||||
SSLCipherStrength:
The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.
This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed
on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported,
an error will be returned when connections are initiated.
Please note that this 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 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 config setting. |
||||||||||||||
SSLContextProtocol: The protocol used when getting an SSLContext instance.Possible values are SSL, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS and TLSv1. Use it only in case your security provider does not support TLS. This is the parameter "protocol" inside the SSLContext.getInstance(protocol) call. | ||||||||||||||
SSLEnabledCipherSuites:
The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.
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:
Possible values when SSLProvider is set to Internal include:
When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength. |
||||||||||||||
SSLEnabledProtocols:
Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
SSLEnabledProtocols - 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 which 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 only supported 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:
|
||||||||||||||
SSLEnableRenegotiation:
Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.This setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API.
This setting is true by default, but can be set to false to disable the extension.
This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal. |
||||||||||||||
SSLIncludeCertChain:
Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.This setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains
the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present
in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.
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. |
||||||||||||||
SSLKeyLogFile:
The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.This setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.
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 traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values. Note: This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal. |
||||||||||||||
SSLNegotiatedCipher:

SSLServerCACerts:
A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL server certificate validation.This setting optionally specifies one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This setting should only be set if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.
The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE----- |

Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.This setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this 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:
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent. |
||||||||||||||
TLS12SupportedGroups:
The supported groups for ECC.This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.
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:
|
||||||||||||||
TLS13KeyShareGroups:
The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange.
The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection.
This can prevent an additional round trip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.
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 setting. Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group. In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified 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:

InBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.
This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack.
You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount
of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the
InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in
performance in some cases.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. |
||||||||||||||
OutBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack.
You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount
of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the
OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in
performance in some cases.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. |

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. | ||||||||||||||
GUIAvailable:
Tells the class whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The class will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.
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 class does not attempt to process external events. |
||||||||||||||
LicenseInfo:
