CkDh

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.

The generator. The value of G should be either 2 or 5.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A "safe" large prime returned as a hex string. The hex string represent a bignum in SSH1 format.

When set to true, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to false (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to true, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to false, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

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.

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

The 1st step in Diffie-Hellman key exchange (to generate a shared-secret). The numBits should be twice the size (in bits) of the shared secret to be generated. For example, if you are using DH to create a 128-bit AES session key, then numBits should be set to 256. Returns E as a bignum in SSH-format as a hex string.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

The 2nd and final step in Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange. E is the E created by the other party. Returns the shared secret (K) as an SSH1-format bignum encoded as a hex string.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Generates a large safe prime that is numBits bits in size using the generator G. Generating a new (random) P is expensive in both time and CPU cycles. A prime should be 1024 or more bits in length.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Sets explicit values for P and G. Returns true if P and G conform to the requirements for Diffie-Hellman. P is an SSH1-format bignum passed as a hexidecimalized string.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Sets P and G to a known safe prime. The index may have the following values:
