Create/Dispose

HCkHttpW instance = CkHttpW_Create();
// ...
CkHttpW_Dispose(instance);
HCkHttpW CkHttpW_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkHttpW object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkHttpW_Dispose(HCkHttpW handle);

Objects created by calling CkHttpW_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkHttpW_Dispose.

Callback Functions

Callback Functions introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.56
void CkHttpW_setAbortCheck(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL (*fnAbortCheck)(void));

Provides the opportunity for a method call to be aborted. If TRUE is returned, the operation in progress is aborted. Return FALSE to allow the current method call to continue. This callback function is called periodically based on the value of the HeartbeatMs property. (If HeartbeatMs is 0, then no callbacks are made.) As an example, to make 5 AbortCheck callbacks per second, set the HeartbeatMs property equal to 200.

void CkHttpW_setPercentDone(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL (*fnPercentDone)(int pctDone));

Provides the percentage completed for any method that involves network communications or time-consuming processing (assuming it is a method where a percentage completion can be measured). This callback is only called when it is possible to know a percentage completion, and when it makes sense to express the operation as a percentage completed. The pctDone argument will have a value from 1 to 100. For methods that complete very quickly, the number of PercentDone callbacks will vary, but the final callback should have a value of 100. For long running operations, no more than one callback per percentage point will occur (for example: 1, 2, 3, ... 98, 99, 100).

This callback counts as an AbortCheck callback, and takes the place of the AbortCheck event when it fires.

The return value indicates whether the method call should be aborted, or whether it should proceed. Return TRUE to abort, and FALSE to proceed.

void CkHttpW_setProgressInfo(HCkHttpW cHandle, void (*fnProgressInfo)(const wchar_t *name, const wchar_t *value));

This is a general callback that provides name/value information about what is happening at certain points during a method call. To see the information provided in ProgressInfo callbacks, if any, write code to handle this event and log the name/value pairs. Most are self-explanatory.

void CkHttpW_setTaskCompleted(HCkHttpW cHandle, void (*fnTaskCompleted)(HCkTaskW hTask));

Called in the background thread when an asynchronous task completes. (Note: When an async method is running, all callbacks are in the background thread.)

Properties

AbortCurrent
BOOL CkHttpW_getAbortCurrent(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putAbortCurrent(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

When set to TRUE, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to FALSE when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to FALSE. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

top
Accept
void CkHttpW_getAccept(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putAccept(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);

top
AllowGzip
BOOL CkHttpW_getAllowGzip(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putAllowGzip(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Controls whether the "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header is added to HTTP requests sent via any method that sends an HTTP request without using the HttpRequest object (such as QuickGetStr). If FALSE, then the empty Accept-Encoding header is added which means the server response should contain the uncompressed content. The default value is TRUE, which means the server, if it chooses, may send a gzipped response.

top
AllowHeaderFolding
BOOL CkHttpW_getAllowHeaderFolding(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putAllowHeaderFolding(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.63

Introduced in version 9.5.0.67

If set, then automatically adds the "Authorization: Bearer " header to all requests. (If you have an OAuth2 access token, set this property equal to the OAuth2 access token string. Note: For OAuth1 (older) tokens, use the OAuthTOken property. )

top
AutoAddHostHeader
BOOL CkHttpW_getAutoAddHostHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putAutoAddHostHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If set to true, the "Host" header field will automatically be added to the request header for any QuickGet or QuickGetStr method calls. The value of the Host header field is taken from the hostname part of the URL passed to QuickGet/QuickGetStr.

void CkHttpW_getAwsSubResources(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putAwsSubResources(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_awsSubResources(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The AWS sub-resources to be used with the Amazon S3 methods listed below.

If the S3 request needs to address a sub-resource, like ?versioning, ?policy, ?location, ?acl, or ?torrent, or ?versionid append the sub-resource and its value if it has one. Note that in case of multiple sub-resources, sub-resources must be lexicographically sorted by sub-resource name and separated by '&'. e.g. "acl&versionId=value"

top
BandwidthThrottleDown
int CkHttpW_getBandwidthThrottleDown(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putBandwidthThrottleDown(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

If non-zero, limits (throttles) the download bandwidth to approximately this maximum number of bytes per second. The default value of this property is 0.

top
BandwidthThrottleUp
int CkHttpW_getBandwidthThrottleUp(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putBandwidthThrottleUp(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

If non-zero, limits (throttles) the upload bandwidth to approximately this maximum number of bytes per second. The default value of this property is 0.

top
BasicAuth
BOOL CkHttpW_getBasicAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putBasicAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If HTTP basic authentication is needed, this property must be set to TRUE. The HTTP protocol allows for several different types of authentication schemes, such as NTLM, Digest, OAuth1, etc. A given server will support (or allow) certain authentication schemes (also known as authentication methods). Except for the "Basic" authentication method, the other forms of authentication do not involve sending the login and password in plain unencrypted text over the connection. The Basic authentication method is insecure in that it sends the login/password for all to see. If the connection is SSL/TLS, then this might be considered OK. Chilkat takes the safe approach and will not allow Basic authentication unless this property has been explicitly set to TRUE. The default value of this property is FALSE.

Note: It is not required to know the authentication methods accepted by the server beforehand (except for the case of Basic authentication). When authentication is required, Chilkat will first send the request without the Authorization header, receive back the 401 Authorization Required response along with information about what authentication methods are accepted, and then re-send with an accepted authentication method. If the authentication method is known in advance, then an application may set the appropriate property, such as NtlmAuth to TRUE so that the extra (internal) round-trip is not required.

Note: The login and password is sent using the utf-8 byte representation. Some servers expect the ANSI byte representation (typically Windows-1252). Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.87, to send the login/password using ANSI, add the "AnsiLogin" keyword to the UncommonOptions property.

ClientIpAddress
void CkHttpW_getClientIpAddress(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putClientIpAddress(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_clientIpAddress(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The IP address to use for computers with multiple network interfaces or IP addresses. For computers with a single network interface (i.e. most computers), this property should not be set. For multihoming computers, the default IP address is automatically used if this property is not set.

The IP address is a string such as in dotted notation using numbers, not domain names, such as "165.164.55.124".

ConnectFailReason
int CkHttpW_getConnectFailReason(HCkHttpW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

This property will be set to the status of the last HTTP connection made (or failed to be made) by any HTTP method.

Possible values are:

0 = success

Normal (non-TLS) sockets:
1 = empty hostname
2 = DNS lookup failed
3 = DNS timeout
4 = Aborted by application.
5 = Internal failure.
6 = Connect Timed Out
7 = Connect Rejected (or failed for some other reason)
50 = HTTP proxy authentication failure.
98 = Async operation in progress.
99 = Product is not unlocked.

SSL/TLS:
100 = TLS internal error.
101 = Failed to send client hello.
102 = Unexpected handshake message.
103 = Failed to read server hello.
104 = No server certificate.
105 = Unexpected TLS protocol version.
106 = Server certificate verify failed (the server certificate is expired or the cert's signature verification failed).
107 = Unacceptable TLS protocol version.
108 = App-defined server certificate requirements failure.
109 = Failed to read handshake messages.
110 = Failed to send client certificate handshake message.
111 = Failed to send client key exchange handshake message.
112 = Client certificate's private key not accessible.
113 = Failed to send client cert verify handshake message.
114 = Failed to send change cipher spec handshake message.
115 = Failed to send finished handshake message.
116 = Server's Finished message is invalid.

top
Connection
void CkHttpW_getConnection(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putConnection(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_connection(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The Connection header field to be automatically included with GET requests issued by QuickGet or QuickGetStr. The default value is "Keep-Alive". To prevent the Connection header from being added to the HTTP header, set this property to the empty string.

top
ConnectTimeout
int CkHttpW_getConnectTimeout(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putConnectTimeout(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

The amount of time in seconds to wait before timing out when connecting to an HTTP server. The default ConnectTimeout is 30 seconds.

Note: This is the maximum number of seconds to wait for a server to accept a TCP connection. Once the connection is accepted, and bytes begin flowing back-and-forth, then it is the ReadTimeout property that applies. It is the ReadTimeout that applies when receiving data, which includes the reads that occur during a TLS handshake.

top
CookieDir
void CkHttpW_getCookieDir(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putCookieDir(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_cookieDir(HCkHttpW cHandle);

Specifies a directory where cookies are automatically persisted if the Http.SaveCookies property is turned on. Cookies are stored in XML formatted files, one per domain, to main it easy for other programs to understand and parse. May be set to the string "memory" to cache cookies in memory.

DebugLogFilePath
void CkHttpW_getDebugLogFilePath(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_debugLogFilePath(HCkHttpW cHandle);

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
DefaultFreshPeriod
int CkHttpW_getDefaultFreshPeriod(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putDefaultFreshPeriod(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

The default freshness period (in minutes) for cached documents when the FreshnessAlgorithm property is set to 0. The default value is 10080 (1 week).

top
DigestAuth
BOOL CkHttpW_getDigestAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putDigestAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Setting this property to TRUE causes the HTTP component to use digest authentication. The default value is FALSE.

top
FetchFromCache
BOOL CkHttpW_getFetchFromCache(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putFetchFromCache(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Set to true if pages should be fetched from cache when possible. Only HTTP GET requests are cached. HTTP responses that include Set-Cookie headers are not cached. A page is fetched from the disk cache if it is present and it is "fresh" according to the FreshnessAlgorithm property. If a page exists in cache but is not fresh, the HTTP component will issue a revalidate request and update the cache appropriately according to the response.

More Information and Examples
top
FinalRedirectUrl
void CkHttpW_getFinalRedirectUrl(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_finalRedirectUrl(HCkHttpW cHandle);

If an HTTP GET was redirected (as indicated by the WasRedirected property), this property will contain the final redirect URL, assuming the FollowRedirects property is TRUE.

Note: Starting in v9.5.0.49, this property will contain the redirect URL for 301/302 responses even if FollowRedirects is not set to TRUE.

top
FollowRedirects
BOOL CkHttpW_getFollowRedirects(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putFollowRedirects(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If true, then 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 redirects are automatically followed when calling QuickGet and QuickGetStr. FollowRedirects is true by default.

top
FreshnessAlgorithm
int CkHttpW_getFreshnessAlgorithm(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putFreshnessAlgorithm(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

The freshness algorithm to use when determining the freshness of a cached HTTP GET response. A value of 1 causes an LM-factor algorithm to be used. This is the default. The LMFactor property is a value between 1 and 100 indicating the percentage of time based on the last-modified date of the HTML page. For example, if the LMFactor is 50, and an HTML page was modified 10 days ago, then the page will expire (i.e. no longer be fresh) in 5 days (50% of 10 days). This only applies to HTTP responses that do not have page expiration information. If the FreshnessAlgorithm = 0, then a constant expire time period determined by the DefaultFreshPeriod property is used.

top
HeartbeatMs
int CkHttpW_getHeartbeatMs(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putHeartbeatMs(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

This property is only valid in programming environment and languages that allow for event callbacks.

Specifies the time interval in milliseconds between AbortCheck events. A value of 0 (the default) indicate that no AbortCheck events will fire. Any HTTP operation can be aborted via the AbortCheck event.

top
IgnoreMustRevalidate
BOOL CkHttpW_getIgnoreMustRevalidate(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putIgnoreMustRevalidate(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Some HTTP responses contain a "Cache-Control: must-revalidate" header. If this is present, the server is requesting that the client always issue a revalidate HTTP request instead of serving the page directly from cache. If IgnoreMustRevalidate is set to TRUE, then Chilkat HTTP will serve the page directly from cache without revalidating until the page is no longer fresh.

The default value of this property is FALSE.

top
IgnoreNoCache
BOOL CkHttpW_getIgnoreNoCache(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putIgnoreNoCache(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Some HTTP responses contain headers of various types that indicate that the page should not be cached. Chilkat HTTP will adhere to this unless this property is set to TRUE.

The default value of this property is FALSE.

top
KeepResponseBody
BOOL CkHttpW_getKeepResponseBody(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putKeepResponseBody(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.55

If TRUE, then the response body, if text, is saved to the LastResponseBody property for all methods that do not return an HttpResponse object. The default value of this property is FALSE.

void CkHttpW_getLastHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_lastHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The text of the last HTTP header sent by any of this class's methods. The purpose of this property is to allow the developer to examine the exact HTTP header for debugging purposes.

top
LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkHttpW_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
LastModDate
void CkHttpW_getLastModDate(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_lastModDate(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The value of the Last-Modified header in the last HTTP response received by the HTTP component.

top

top
LastResponseHeader
void CkHttpW_getLastResponseHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_lastResponseHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The entire response header for the last HTTP response received by the HTTP component (for methods that do not return an HttpResponse object).

top
LastStatus
int CkHttpW_getLastStatus(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The last HTTP status value received by the HTTP component. This only applies to methods that do not return an HTTP response object. For methods that return an HTTP response object, such as SynchronousRequest, the status code is found in the StatusCode property of the response object.

top
LastStatusText
void CkHttpW_getLastStatusText(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_lastStatusText(HCkHttpW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.69

The last HTTP status text received by the HTTP component. This only applies to methods that do not return an HTTP response object. For methods that return an HTTP response object, such as SynchronousRequest, the status text is found in the StatusText property of the response object.

top
LMFactor
int CkHttpW_getLMFactor(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putLMFactor(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

An integer between 1 and 100 that indicates the percentage of time from the HTTP page's last-modified date that will be used for the freshness period. The default value is 25. For example, if a page is fetched with a last-modified date of 4 weeks ago, and the LMFactor = 25, then the page will be considered fresh in the cache for 1 week (25% of 4 weeks).

top
Login
void CkHttpW_getLogin(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putLogin(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_login(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The HTTP login for pages requiring a login/password. Chilkat HTTP can do Basic, Digest, and NTLM HTTP authentication. (NTLM is also known as SPA (or Windows Integrated Authentication). To use Basic authentication, the BasicAuth property must be set equal to TRUE. It is not necessary to set the NtlmAuth or DigestAuth properties beforehand if NTLM or Digest authentication is needed. However, it is most efficient to pre-set these properties when the type of authentication is known in advance.

Important: If NTLM authentication is used, it may be incorrect to set the Login property equal to "mydomain\mylogin". Instead, set the LoginDomain property equal to "mydomain", and set this property equal to "mylogin".

Note: When the Login and Password properties are set, and the type of authentication is specified by setting one of the following properties equal to TRUE (BasicAuth, DigestAuth, NtlmAuth), Chilkat will automatically add the "Authorization: ..." header in the correct format.

top
LoginDomain
void CkHttpW_getLoginDomain(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putLoginDomain(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_loginDomain(HCkHttpW cHandle);

top
MaxConnections
int CkHttpW_getMaxConnections(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putMaxConnections(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

top
NtlmAuth
BOOL CkHttpW_getNtlmAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putNtlmAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Setting this property to TRUE causes the HTTP component to use NTLM authentication (also known as IWA -- or Integrated Windows Authentication) when authentication with an HTTP server. The default value is FALSE.

top
NumCacheLevels
int CkHttpW_getNumCacheLevels(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putNumCacheLevels(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);

The number of directory levels to be used under each cache root. The default is 0, meaning that each cached HTML page is stored in a cache root directory. A value of 1 causes each cached page to be stored in one of 255 subdirectories named "0","1", "2", ..."255" under a cache root. A value of 2 causes two levels of subdirectories ("0..255/0..255") under each cache root. The HTTP control automatically creates subdirectories as needed. The reason for mutliple levels is to alleviate problems that may arise with unrelated software when huge numbers of files are stored in a single directory. For example, Windows Explorer does not behave well when trying to display the contents of directories with thousands of files.

top
NumCacheRoots
int CkHttpW_getNumCacheRoots(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The number of cache roots to be used for the HTTP cache. This allows the disk cache spread out over multiple disk drives. Each cache root is a string indicating the drive letter and directory path. For example, "E:\Cache". An example of a very large low-cost cache might be four USB external drives. To create a cache with four roots, call AddCacheRoot once for each directory root.

const wchar_t *CkHttpW_password(HCkHttpW cHandle);

The HTTP password for pages requiring a login/password. Chilkat HTTP can do Basic, Digest, and NTLM HTTP authentication. (NTLM is also known as SPA (or Windows Integrated Authentication). To use Basic authentication, the BasicAuth property must be set equal to TRUE. It is not necessary to set the NtlmAuth or DigestAuth properties beforehand if NTLM or Digest authentication is needed. However, it is most efficient to pre-set these properties when the type of authentication is known in advance.

Note: When the Login and Password properties are set, and the type of authentication is specified by setting one of the following properties equal to TRUE (BasicAuth, DigestAuth, NtlmAuth), Chilkat will automatically add the "Authorization: ..." header in the correct format.

top
PercentDoneScale
int CkHttpW_getPercentDoneScale(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putPercentDoneScale(HCkHttpW cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

This property is only valid in programming environment and languages that allow for event callbacks.

Sets the value to be defined as 100% complete for the purpose of PercentDone event callbacks. The defaut value of 100 means that at most 100 event PercentDone callbacks will occur in a method that (1) is event enabled and (2) is such that it is possible to measure progress as a percentage completed. This property may be set to larger numbers to get more fine-grained PercentDone callbacks. For example, setting this property equal to 1000 will provide callbacks with .1 percent granularity. For example, a value of 453 would indicate 45.3% competed. This property is clamped to a minimum value of 10, and a maximum value of 100000.

top
PreferIpv6
BOOL CkHttpW_getPreferIpv6(HCkHttpW cHandle);
void CkHttpW_putPreferIpv6(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

const wchar_t *CkHttpW_proxyAuthMethod(HCkHttpW cHandle);

Set this to "basic" if you know in advance that Basic authentication is to be used for the HTTP proxy. Otherwise leave this property unset. Note: It is not necessary to set this property. The HTTP component will automatically handle proxy authentication for any of the supported authentication methods: NTLM, Digest, or Basic. Setting this property equal to "basic" prevents the 407 response which is automatically handled internal to Chilkat and never seen by your application.

Note: If NTLM authentication does not succeed, set the Global.DefaultNtlmVersion property equal to 1 and then retry.

To restrict SSL/TLS connections to one or more specific ciphers, set this property to a comma-separated list of ciphers such as "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384". The order should be in terms of preference, with the preferred algorithms listed first. (Note that the client cannot specifically choose the algorithm is picked because it is the server that chooses. The client simply provides the server with a list from which to choose.)

The property can also disallow connections with servers having certificates with RSA keys less than a certain size. By default, server certificates having RSA keys of 512 bits or greater are allowed. Add the keyword "rsa1024" to disallow connections with servers having keys smaller than 1024 bits. Add the keyword "rsa2048" to disallow connections with servers having keys smaller than 2048 bits.

Note: Prior to Chilkat v9.5.0.55, it was not possible to explicitly list allowed cipher suites. The deprecated means for indicating allowed ciphers was both incomplete and unprecise. For example, the following keywords could be listed to allow matching ciphers: "aes256-cbc", "aes128-cbc", "3des-cbc", and "rc4". These keywords will still be recognized, but programs should be updated to explicitly list the allowed ciphers.

secure-renegotiation: Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.55, the keyword "secure-renegotiation" may be added to require that all renegotions be done securely (as per RFC 5746).

best-practices: Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.55, this property may be set to the single keyword "best-practices". This will allow ciphers based on the current best practices. As new versions of Chilkat are released, the best practices may change. Changes will be noted here. The current best practices are:

  • If the server uses an RSA key, it must be 1024 bits or greater.
  • All renegotations must be secure renegotiations.
  • All ciphers using RC4, DES, or 3DES are disallowed.

Example: The following string would restrict to 2 specific cipher suites, require RSA keys to be 1024 bits or greater, and require secure renegotiations: "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, rsa1024, secure-renegotiation"

SslProtocol
void CkHttpW_getSslProtocol(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putSslProtocol(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_sslProtocol(HCkHttpW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.46

Selects the SSL/TLS protocol version to be used for connections. Possible values are:

default
TLS 1.3
TLS 1.2
TLS 1.1
TLS 1.0
SSL 3.0
TLS 1.3 or higher
TLS 1.2 or higher
TLS 1.1 or higher
TLS 1.0 or higher
The default value is "default" which allows for the protocol to be selected dynamically at runtime based on the requirements of the server. Choosing an exact protocol will cause the connection to fail unless that exact protocol is negotiated. It is better to choose "X or higher" than an exact protocol. The "default" is effectively "SSL 3.0 or higher".

void CkHttpW_putTlsPinSet(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_tlsPinSet(HCkHttpW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.55

Specifies a set of pins for Public Key Pinning for TLS connections. This property lists the expected SPKI fingerprints for the server certificates. If the server's certificate (sent during the TLS handshake) does not match any of the SPKI fingerprints, then the TLS handshake is aborted and the connection fails. The format of this string property is as follows:

hash_algorithm, encoding, SPKI_fingerprint_1, SPKI_fingerprint_2, ...
For example, the following string specifies a single sha256 base64-encoded SPKI fingerprint:
"sha256, base64, lKg1SIqyhPSK19tlPbjl8s02yChsVTDklQpkMCHvsTE="
This example specifies two SPKI fingerprints:
"sha256, base64, 4t37LpnGmrMEAG8HEz9yIrnvJV2euVRwCLb9EH5WZyI=, 68b0G5iqMvWVWvUCjMuhLEyekM5729PadtnU5tdXZKs="
Any of the following hash algorithms are allowed:.sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, md2, md5, haval, ripemd128, ripemd160,ripemd256, or ripemd320.

The following encodings are allowed: base64, hex, and any of the encodings indicated in the link below.

const wchar_t *CkHttpW_tlsVersion(HCkHttpW cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

Contains the current or last negotiated TLS protocol version. If no TLS connection has yet to be established, or if a connection as attempted and failed, then this will be empty. Possible values are "SSL 3.0", "TLS 1.0", "TLS 1.1", "TLS 1.2", and "TLS 1.3".

top
UncommonOptions
void CkHttpW_getUncommonOptions(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkHttpW_putUncommonOptions(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_uncommonOptions(HCkHttpW cHandle);

This is a catch-all property to be used for uncommon needs. This property defaults to the empty string and should typically remain empty. Can be set to a list of the following comma separated keywords:

  • "QuickDisconnect" - Introduced in v9.5.0.77. In the call to CloseAllConnections, do not disconnect cleanly. Instead just disconnect as quickly as possible.
  • "ProtectFromVpn" - Introduced in v9.5.0.80. On Android systems, will bypass any VPN that may be installed or active.
  • "TlsNoClientRootCert" - Introduced in v9.5.0.82. Will exclude root CA certs from being included in the client certificate chain that is sent to the server for client-side authentication. This must be set prior to calling SetSslClientCert.
  • "AllowEmptyHeaders" - Introduced in v9.5.0.82. If present, an empty value string passed to SetHeaderField will cause the header to be added with an empty value. Otherwise, for historical purposes and backward compatibility, the header field is removed when an empty value string is passed.
  • "AnsiLogin" - Introduced in v9.5.0.87. For HTTP basic authentication, the login and password is sent using the utf-8 byte representation. Some servers expect the ANSI byte representation (typically Windows-1252). Use this keyword to send the login/password using ANSI.

HCkHttpResponseW CkHttpW_PostJson(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *url, const wchar_t *jsonText);

A simplified way of sending a JSON POST and receiving the JSON response. The HTTP response is returned in an HTTP response object. The content type of the HTTP request is "application/json". To send a JSON POST using a different content-type, call the PostJson2 method where the content type can be explicitly specified.

Returns NULL on failure

PostXml
HCkHttpResponseW CkHttpW_PostXml(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *endpointUrl, const wchar_t *xmlContent, const wchar_t *xmlCharset);

A simplified way of posting XML content to a web server. This method is good for making SOAP calls using HTTP POST. The xmlCharset should match the character encoding used in the xmlContent, which is typically "utf-8". The HTTP response is returned in an HTTP response object.

Important: This method sends the POST with a "Content-Type" header value of "application/xml". In rare cases, a server might require the Content-Type header to be "text/xml". To use "text/xml" instead of the default "application/xml", call SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml") prior to calling this method.

To use HTTPS simply pass an endpointUrl beginning with "https://" instead of "http://". This applies to any Chilkat method where a URL is passed as an argument.

Returns NULL on failure

Introduced in version 9.5.0.46

Sends an HTTP request to the url. The verb can be "POST", "PUT", "PATCH", etc. The body of the HTTP request contains the text passed in textData. The contentType is a content type such as "text/xml", "application/json", etc. If md5 is TRUE, then a Content-MD5 header is added with the base64 MD5 hash of the textData. Servers aware of the Content-MD5 header will perform a message integrity check to ensure that the data has not been corrupted. If gzip is TRUE, the contentType is compressed using the gzip algorithm. The HTTP request body will contain the GZIP compressed data, and a "Content-Encoding: gzip" header is automatically added to indicate that the request data needs to be ungzipped when received (at the server).

const wchar_t *CkHttpW_s3_GenerateUrlV4(HCkHttpW cHandle, BOOL useHttps, const wchar_t *bucketName, const wchar_t *path, int numSecondsValid, const wchar_t *awsService);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.66

Note: The S3_GenPresignedUrl method is new in Chilkat v9.5.0.83 and can create S3 pre-signed URLs for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or any other HTTP verb.

Generates a temporary pre-signed URL for Amazon S3 using AWS Signature V4. (Call S3_GenerateUrl to generate AWS Signature V2 pre-signed URLs.) Requires that the AwsSecretKey, AwsAccessKey, and AwsRegion properties be set to valid values prior to calling this method. Also requires the AwsEndpoint property to be set if the endpoint is different than "s3.amazonaws.com".

The URL that is generated has this format:

https://<AwsEndpoint>/<bucket_name>/<path>
?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256
&X-Amz-Credential=<AwsAccessKey>/<currentDate>/<AwsRegion>/<awsService>/aws4_request
&X-Amz-Date=<currentDateTime>
&X-Amz-Expires=<numSecondsValid>
&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host
&X-Amz-Signature=<signature-value>  

The awsService is a string naming the AWS service, such as "s3". If useHttps is TRUE, then the URL begins with "https://", otherwise it begins with "http://".

Note: This method can only generate URLs that are for HTTP GET requests (i.e. URLs you can paste into a browser address bar). This method does not generate URLs for POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

S3_ListBucketObjects
BOOL CkHttpW_S3_ListBucketObjects(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *bucketPath, const wchar_t *outStr);
const wchar_t *CkHttpW_s3_ListBucketObjects(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *bucketPath);

Retrieves the XML listing of the objects contained within an Amazon S3 bucket. (This is like a directory listing, but in XML format.)

The bucketPath name may be qualified with URL-encoded params. For example, to list the objects in a bucket named "ChilkatABC" with max-keys = 2000 and marker = "xyz", call S3_ListBucketObject passing the following string for bucketPath: "ChilkatABC?max-keys=2000&marker=xyz"

The S3_ListBucketObjects method recognized all params listed in the AWS documentation for listing objects in a bucket: delimiter, marker, max-keys, and prefix. See Amazon's AWS online documentation for more information.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
SetCookieXml
BOOL CkHttpW_SetCookieXml(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *domain, const wchar_t *cookieXml);

Restores cookies for a particular domain. It is assumed that the cookie XML was previously retrieved via the GetCookieXml method, and saved to some sort of persistent storage, such as within a database table. It is then possible for an application to restore the cookies by calling this method.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
SetOAuthRsaKey
BOOL CkHttpW_SetOAuthRsaKey(HCkHttpW cHandle, HCkPrivateKeyW privKey);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.39

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.

top
SetRequestHeader
void CkHttpW_SetRequestHeader(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *headerFieldName, const wchar_t *headerFieldValue);

Adds a custom header field to any HTTP request sent by a method that does not use the HTTP request object. These methods include Download, DownloadAppend, GetHead, PostBinary, PostXml, PutBinary, PutText, QuickDeleteStr, QuickGet, QuickGetObj, QuickGetStr, QuickPutStr, XmlRpc, and XmlRpcPut.

Cookies may be explictly added by calling this method passing "Cookie" for the headerFieldName.

The RemoveRequestHeader method can be called to remove a custom header.

Note1: Do not call this method to add Basic authentication, i.e. "Authorization: Basic ....". Instead, set the Login and Password properties, and also set the BasicAuth property = TRUE. Chilkat will add the "Authorization: Basic ..." header using the correct format automatically.

Note 2: Never explicitly set the Content-Length header field. Chilkat will automatically compute the correct length and add the Content-Length header to all POST, PUT, or any other request where the Content-Length needs to be specified. (GET requests always have a 0 length body, and therefore never need a Content-Length header field.)

Note 3: To add more than one header, call this method once per header field.

Note 4:: Passing an empty value string causes the header to be removed. This was the unfortunate behavior of the method from the beginning, and cannot be changed for backward compatibility reasons. A workaround exists starting in v9.5.0.82 by adding the "AllowEmptyHeaders" keyword to the UncommonOptions property.

  • SubjectDN
  • SubjectCN
  • IssuerDN
  • IssuerCN
  • SAN (added in v9.5.0.84)

The reqName specifies the part of the certificate, and the reqValue is the value that it must match exactly or with a wildcard (*). If the server's certificate does not match, the SSL / TLS connection is aborted.

SharePointOnlineAuth
BOOL CkHttpW_SharePointOnlineAuth(HCkHttpW cHandle, const wchar_t *siteUrl, const wchar_t *username, HCkSecureStringW password, HCkJsonObjectW extraInfo);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.73

Authenticates with SharePoint Online, resulting in a cookie being set and used for subsequent SharePoint HTTP requests. Prior to calling this method, an application should set the CookieDir property to either "memory" or a directory path to persist the SharePoint authentication cookie to be automatically used in subsequent runs.

This method has the side-effect of setting the SaveCookies and SendCookies properties to TRUE, because these settings are required for SharePoint Online authentication.

The siteUrl is a URL such as "https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/". The username is an email address such as "username@yourdomain.com". The extraInfo is reserved for providing additional information as needed in the future.

Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.
