HostPolicyErrorCode Enumeration (.NET API)

HostPolicyErrorCode

Specifies the error code that indicates the cause of a host name verification failure.

                
enum HostPolicyErrorCode {
    HostNameComparison_UnknownError = 0,
    HostNameComparison_NotEqual = 1,
    HostNameComparison_IgnoreWildcard = 2,
    HostNameComparison_IgnorePort = 4,
    HostNameComparison_IgnoreAreComparsion = 8
}
                
            

Members

HostNameComparison_UnknownError Indicates an unknown error occurred during host name comparison. (Value: 0)

HostNameComparison_NotEqual Indicates that the host names are not equal. (Value: 1)

HostNameComparison_IgnoreWildcard Indicates that wildcard characters were ignored during host name comparison. (Value: 2)

HostNameComparison_IgnorePort Indicates that the port number was ignored during host name comparison. (Value: 4)

HostNameComparison_IgnoreAreComparsion Indicates that the address comparison was ignored during host name comparison. (Value: 8)

Remarks

This enumeration is used by the System.Net.Security.HostnameValidation class to report issues encountered during the validation of host names, typically in the context of secure network communication like SSL/TLS.

Each member represents a specific reason why a host name might fail verification, allowing for more granular error handling and reporting.
