Detailed Description

A TCP/IP socket for the HyperText Transfer Protocol version 1.0.

When acting as a server, a descendant class would be created to override at least the HandleOpenMailbox()#, HandleSendMessage()# and HandleDeleteMessage()# functions. Other functions may be overridden for further enhancement to the sockets capabilities, but these will give a basic POP3 server functionality.

The server socket thread would continuously call the ProcessMessage()# function until it returns PFalse. This will then call the appropriate virtual function on parsing the POP3 protocol.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PHTTPServer::PHTTPServer (  ) 

Create a TCP/IP HTTP protocol socket channel. The form with the single port parameter creates an unopened socket, the form with the address parameter makes a connection to a remote system, opening the socket. The form with the socket parameter opens the socket to an incoming call from a "listening" socket.

PHTTPServer::PHTTPServer ( const PHTTPSpace urlSpace  ) 

Parameters:
urlSpace  Name space to use for URLs received.


Member Function Documentation

virtual PString PHTTPServer::GetServerName (  )  const [virtual]

Get the name of the server.

Returns:
String name of the server.

PHTTPSpace& PHTTPServer::GetURLSpace (  )  [inline]

Get the name space being used by the HTTP server socket.

Returns:
URL name space tree.

void PHTTPServer::SetURLSpace ( const PHTTPSpace space  ) 

Use a new URL name space for this HTTP socket.

Parameters:
space  New URL name space to use.

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::ProcessCommand (  )  [virtual]

Process commands, dispatching to the appropriate virtual function. This is used when the socket is acting as a server.

Returns:
PTrue if the request specified persistant mode and the request version allows it, PFalse if the socket closed, timed out, the protocol does not allow persistant mode, or the client did not request it timed out

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnGET ( const PURL url,
const PMIMEInfo info,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo conInfo 
) [virtual]

Handle a GET command from a client.

The default implementation looks up the URL in the name space declared by the PHTTPSpace# class tree and despatches to the PHTTPResource# object contained therein.

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close If there is no ContentLength field in the response, this value must be PFalse for correct operation.
Parameters:
url  Universal Resource Locator for document.
info  Extra MIME information in command.
conInfo  HTTP connection information

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnHEAD ( const PURL url,
const PMIMEInfo info,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo conInfo 
) [virtual]

Handle a HEAD command from a client.

The default implemetation looks up the URL in the name space declared by the PHTTPSpace# class tree and despatches to the PHTTPResource# object contained therein.

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close If there is no ContentLength field in the response, this value must be PFalse for correct operation.
Parameters:
url  Universal Resource Locator for document.
info  Extra MIME information in command.
conInfo  HTTP connection information

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnPOST ( const PURL url,
const PMIMEInfo info,
const PStringToString data,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo conInfo 
) [virtual]

Handle a POST command from a client.

The default implementation looks up the URL in the name space declared by the PHTTPSpace# class tree and despatches to the PHTTPResource# object contained therein.

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close If there is no ContentLength field in the response, this value must be PFalse for correct operation.
Parameters:
url  Universal Resource Locator for document.
info  Extra MIME information in command.
data  Variables provided in the POST data.
conInfo  HTTP connection information

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnProxy ( const PHTTPConnectionInfo conInfo  )  [virtual]

Handle a proxy command request from a client. This will only get called if the request was not for this particular server. If it was a proxy request for this server (host and port number) then the appropriate OnGET()#, OnHEAD()# or OnPOST()# command is called.

The default implementation returns OnError(BadGateway).

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close If there is no ContentLength field in the response, this value must be PFalse for correct operation.
Parameters:
conInfo  HTTP connection information

virtual PString PHTTPServer::ReadEntityBody (  )  [virtual]

Read the entity body associated with a HTTP request, and close the socket if not a persistant connection.

Returns:
The entity body of the command

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnUnknown ( const PCaselessString command,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo connectInfo 
) [virtual]

Handle an unknown command.

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close
Parameters:
command  Complete command line received.
connectInfo  HTTP connection information

PBoolean PHTTPServer::StartResponse ( StatusCode  code,
PMIMEInfo headers,
long  bodySize 
)

Write a command reply back to the client, and construct some of the outgoing MIME fields. The MIME fields are not sent.

The bodySize parameter determines the size of the entity body associated with the response. If bodySize is >= 0, then a ContentLength field will be added to the outgoing MIME headers if one does not already exist.

If bodySize is < 0, then it is assumed that the size of the entity body is unknown, or has already been added, and no ContentLength field will be constructed.

If the version of the request is less than 1.0, then this function does nothing.

Returns:
PTrue if requires v1.1 chunked transfer encoding.
Parameters:
code  Status code for the response.
headers  MIME variables included in response.
bodySize  Size of the rest of the response.

virtual PBoolean PHTTPServer::OnError ( StatusCode  code,
const PCaselessString extra,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo connectInfo 
) [virtual]

Write an error response for the specified code.

Depending on the code parameter this function will also send a HTML version of the status code for display on the remote client viewer.

Returns:
PTrue if the connection may persist, PFalse if the connection must close
Parameters:
code  Status code for the error response.
extra  Extra information included in the response.
connectInfo  HTTP connection information

void PHTTPServer::SetDefaultMIMEInfo ( PMIMEInfo info,
const PHTTPConnectionInfo connectInfo 
)

Set the default mime info

Parameters:
info  Extra MIME information in command.

PHTTPConnectionInfo& PHTTPServer::GetConnectionInfo (  )  [inline]

Get the connection info for this connection.

void PHTTPServer::Construct (  )  [protected]

Reimplemented from PChannel.
