public class Webforms

extends java.lang.Object

The WebFormS bean is used to POST data to interactive web pages or scripts (CGI, ASP, etc..), similar to what HTML forms do.

The WebFormS bean is the SSL-enabled equivalent of the IP*Works! WebForm bean. The main difference is the introduction of a set of new configuration settings, properties and events that deal with SSL security. TheSSLProviderconfiguration setting chooses a security provider subsystem. TheSSLEnabledProtocolsandSSLCipherStrengthconfiguration settings determine which protocols are enabled and at what security level. The SSLCertStore , SSLCertSubject , and SSLCertEncoded properties are used to select a client certificate if the server is requesting client authentication. TheSSLSecurityFlagsconfiguration setting, together with the SSLServerAuthentication event allow you to check the server identity and other security attributes. Finally, the SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake.

The inputs to the script are provided through the FormVarNames and FormVarValues properties. Once the inputs are defined, set the URL property to the address of the script and call the Submit method. Alternatively, you may call the SubmitTo method with URL as the parameter.

The output of the page or script is provided via the Transfer event.

The Encoding property allows you to specify the proper encoding for the form input (this is normally 'urlencoding').

IPWorksSSLException

getAuthorization

public java.lang.String getAuthorization()

The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

This property is provided so that the HTTP bean can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the bean.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

setAuthorization

public void setAuthorization(java.lang.String authorization)
                      throws IPWorksSSLException

The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

IPWorksSSLException

getFollowRedirects

public int getFollowRedirects()

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Normally, the bean returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If FollowRedirects is set to frAlways (1) the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If FollowRedirects is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same, otherwise the bean throws an IPWorksException raises an IPWorksException exception .

Note that following the HTTP specification, unless FollowRedirects is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for 'GET' or 'HEAD' requests. Other methods could potentially change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server and port are different than the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless FollowRedirects is set to frAlways (1), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g. new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and a runtime error is generated instead.

setFollowRedirects

public void setFollowRedirects(int followRedirects)
                        throws IPWorksSSLException
