OAuth1 Xojo Plugin Reference Documentation
OAuth1
Current Version: 10.1.0
OAuth 1.0a signature generator.
Object Creation
Dim oAuth1 As New 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, 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:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes 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).
topLastErrorHtml
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.
topLastErrorText
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.
LastErrorXml
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.
topLastMethodSuccess
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.
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 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.
