Represents an authentication mechanism used in a TIdAuthenticationCollection collection.

TIdAuthenticationItem = class(TCollectionItem)

TIdAuthenticationItem is a TCollectionItem descendant that implements items maintained in a TIdAuthenticationCollection collection. TIdAuthenticationItem represents the individual authentication mechanisms used for HTTP client requests, including the URL and identity and authorization values provoded as parameters in a client request.

Represent arguments used with an authentication mechanism.

property Params: TStringList;

Params is a TStringList property that represents the arguments provided for an authentication mechanism added to the collection maintained by TIdAuthenticationManager. Params is used with URL to store the information required to use the authentication mechanism.

Params is initialized in the Create constructor, and released in the Destroy destructor. Write access to the Params property calls Assign to transfer the values from a TStringList to the property.

property URL: TIdURI;

URL is a TIdURI property that represents the resource location for the authetication added to the colletion maintained by TIdAuthenticationManager. URL is use with Params to store the information required to use the authentication mechanism.

URL is initialized in the Create constructor, and released in the Destroy destructor. Write access to the URL property copies the URI for the new value to the URI for the property.

Constructor for the authentication object instance.

constructor Create(ACollection: TCOllection); override;

Collection that owns the object instance.

Create is the constructor for the authentication object instance. Create calls the inherited Create method using ACollection as the owner of the object instance. Create also allocates resources required for the URL and Params properties for the authentication mechanism.

Destructor for the object instance.

destructor Destroy; override;

Destroy is the destructor for the object instance. Destroy frees resources allocated in Create for the URL and Params properties. Destroy calls the inherited Destroy method prior to exiting.
