Properties

AuthorizationHeader
void get_AuthorizationHeader(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *authorizationHeader(void);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

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.

top
BaseString
void get_BaseString(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *baseString(void);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

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.

top
ConsumerKey
void get_ConsumerKey(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *consumerKey(void);
void put_ConsumerKey(const wchar_t *str);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

The consumer key.

top
ConsumerSecret
void get_ConsumerSecret(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *consumerSecret(void);
void put_ConsumerSecret(const wchar_t *str);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

The consumer secret.

top
DebugLogFilePath
void get_DebugLogFilePath(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *debugLogFilePath(void);
void put_DebugLogFilePath(const wchar_t *str);

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
EncodedSignature
void get_EncodedSignature(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *encodedSignature(void);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

The URL encoded representation of the Signature property

top
GeneratedUrl
void get_GeneratedUrl(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *generatedUrl(void);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

The URL that includes the OAuth1 query params.

top
HmacKey
void get_HmacKey(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *hmacKey(void);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

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).

top
LastErrorHtml
void get_LastErrorHtml(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *lastErrorHtml(void);

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
void get_LastErrorText(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *lastErrorText(void);

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
void get_LastErrorXml(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *lastErrorXml(void);

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
bool get_LastMethodSuccess(void);
void put_LastMethodSuccess(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
Nonce
void get_Nonce(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *nonce(void);
void put_Nonce(const wchar_t *str);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

top
OauthMethod
void get_OauthMethod(CkString &str);

void put_OauthMethod(const wchar_t *str);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

The HTTP method, such as "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", or "HEAD". Defaults to "GET".

top
OauthUrl
void get_OauthUrl(CkString &str);
const wchar_t *oauthUrl(void);
void put_OauthUrl(const wchar_t *str);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.53

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=1
Instead, set OAuthUrl equal to
https://rest.sandbox.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl
and then subsequently call AddParam for each query parameter.

top
