OAuth 1.0a signature generator.

Properties
AuthorizationHeader
The authorization header. This is what would be included in the Authorization HTTP request header if it is going to be used as the means for providing the OAuth1 authorization information.
topBaseString
This is the exact string that was signed. For example, if the signature method is HMAC-SHA1, the BaseString is the exact string that passed to the HMAC-SHA1. An application does not set the BaseString property. The BaseString is exposed as a property to allow for debugging and to see the exact string that is signed.
topConsumerKey
Procedure Set ComConsumerKey String value
The consumer key.
topConsumerSecret
Procedure Set ComConsumerSecret String value
The consumer secret.
topDebugLogFilePath
Procedure Set ComDebugLogFilePath String value
If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.
Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.
Possible causes of hangs include:
- A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
- A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
- An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.
EncodedSignature
The URL encoded representation of the Signature property
topGeneratedUrl
The URL that includes the OAuth1 query params.
topHmacKey
The exact HMAC key used to sign the BaseString. An application does not directly set the HmacKey. The HmacKey property is read-only and is provided for debugging to see the exact HMAC key used to sign the BaseString. The HMAC key is composed from the consumer secret (if it exists) and the token secret (if it exists).
topLastBinaryResult
This property is mainly used in SQL Server stored procedures to retrieve binary data from the last method call that returned binary data. It is only accessible if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to True. This feature allows for the retrieval of large varbinary results in an SQL Server environment, which has restrictions on returning large data via method calls, though temp tables can handle binary properties.
topLastErrorHtml
Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastErrorText
Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
LastErrorXml
Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastMethodSuccess
Procedure Set ComLastMethodSuccess Boolean value
Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: True means success, False means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.
topLastStringResult
In SQL Server stored procedures, this property holds the string return value of the most recent method call that returns a string. It is accessible only when Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to TRUE. SQL Server has limitations on string lengths returned from methods and properties, but temp tables can be used to access large strings.
LastStringResultLen
The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.
topNonce
Procedure Set ComNonce String value
The nonce.
topOauthMethod
Procedure Set ComOauthMethod String value
The HTTP method, such as "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", or "HEAD". Defaults to "GET".
topOauthUrl
Procedure Set ComOauthUrl String value
The OAuth URL, such as "http://echo.lab.madgex.com/echo.ashx". See http://bettiolo.github.io/oauth-reference-page/ to compare Chilkat results with another tool's results.
Note: The OAuthUrl should not include query parameters. For example, do not set the OAuthUrl equal to
https://rest.sandbox.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl?script=165&deploy=1Instead, set OAuthUrl equal to
https://rest.sandbox.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nland then subsequently call AddParam for each query parameter. top
OauthVersion
Procedure Set ComOauthVersion String value
The oauth_version. Defaults to "1.0". May be set to the empty string to exclude.
topQueryString
Contains the normalized set of request parameters that are signed. This is a read-only property made available for debugging purposes.
topRealm
Procedure Set ComRealm String value
The realm (optional).
topSignature
The generated base64 signature.
topSignatureMethod
Procedure Set ComSignatureMethod String value
The signature method. Defaults to "HMAC-SHA1". Other possible choices are "HMAC-SHA256", "RSA-SHA1", and "RSA-SHA256" (or the equivalent "RSA-SHA2").
Timestamp
Procedure Set ComTimestamp String value
The timestamp, such as "1441632569".
topToken
Procedure Set ComToken String value
The token.
topTokenSecret
Procedure Set ComTokenSecret String value
The token secret
topUncommonOptions
Procedure Set ComUncommonOptions String value
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:
- "INCLUDE_REALM" - Introduced in v9.5.0.85. Include the Realm in the signature calculation and outputs.
VerboseLogging
Procedure Set ComVerboseLogging Boolean value
If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
Methods
AddParam
Adds an extra name/value parameter to the OAuth1 signature.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
Generate
Generate the signature based on the property settings. Input properties are OauthVersion, OauthMethod, Url, ConsumerKey, ConsumerSecret, Token, TokenSecret, Nonce, and Timestamp. Properties set by this method include: BaseString, Signature, HmacKey, EncodedSignature, QueryString, GeneratedUrl, andAuthorizationHeader.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
GenNonce
Generates a random nonce numBytes in length and sets the Nonce property to the hex encoded value.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topGenTimestamp
Sets the Timestamp property to the current date/time.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topRemoveParam
Removes a name/value parameter from the OAuth1 signature.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topSetRsaKey
Sets the RSA key to be used when the SignatureMethod is set to "RSA-SHA1" or "RSA-SHA2".
Returns True for success, False for failure.
