OAuth1 ActiveX Reference Documentation
OAuth1
Current Version: 10.1.2
OAuth 1.0a signature generator.
Object Creation
Note: For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use "Chilkat_9_5_0.OAuth1" instead of "Chilkat.OAuth1" For a specific major version, use "Chilkat.OAuth1.<major_version>", such as "Chilkat.OAuth1.10" for Chilkat v10.*.* See Chilkat ActiveX Object Creation (ASP) set obj = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.OAuth1") (AutoIt) $obj = ObjCreate("Chilkat.OAuth1") (Visual Basic 6.0) Dim obj As New ChilkatOAuth1 (VBScript) set obj = CreateObject("Chilkat.OAuth1") (Delphi) obj := TChilkatOAuth1.Create(Self); (FoxPro) loObject = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth1') (PowerBuilder) lole_object = create oleobject li_rc = lole_object.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.OAuth1") (SQL Server) EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.OAuth1', @obj OUT (Javascript) var obj = new ActiveXObject("Chilkat.OAuth1");
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
The consumer key.
topConsumerSecret
The consumer secret.
topDebugLogFilePath
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 1. 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
Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: 1 means success, 0 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
The nonce.
topOauthMethod
The HTTP method, such as "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", or "HEAD". Defaults to "GET".
topOauthUrl
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
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
The realm (optional).
topSignature
The generated base64 signature.
topSignatureMethod
The signature method. Defaults to "HMAC-SHA1". Other possible choices are "HMAC-SHA256", "RSA-SHA1", and "RSA-SHA256" (or the equivalent "RSA-SHA2").
Timestamp
The timestamp, such as "1441632569".
topToken
The token.
topTokenSecret
The token secret
topUncommonOptions
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
If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"
Methods
AddParam
Adds an extra name/value parameter to the OAuth1 signature.
Returns 1 for success, 0 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 1 for success, 0 for failure.
GenNonce
Generates a random nonce numBytes in length and sets the Nonce property to the hex encoded value.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topGenTimestamp
RemoveParam
SetRsaKey
Sets the RSA key to be used when the SignatureMethod is set to "RSA-SHA1" or "RSA-SHA2".
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
