Detailed Description

This object describes a HyperText Transport Protocol resource which is a set of files in a directory.

The directory can be anywhere in the file system and is mapped to the specified URL location in the HTTP name space defined by the PHTTPSpace class.

All subdirectories and files are available as URL names in the HTTP name space. This effectively grafts a file system directory tree onto the URL name space tree.

See the PMIMEInfo class for more information on the mappings between file types and MIME types.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PHTTPDirectory::PHTTPDirectory	(	const PURL &	url,
		const PDirectory &	dir
	)

Parameters

url	Name of the resource in URL space.
dir	Location of file in file system.

PHTTPDirectory::PHTTPDirectory	(	const PURL &	url,
		const PDirectory &	dir,
		const PHTTPAuthority &	auth
	)

Parameters

url	Name of the resource in URL space.
dir	Location of file in file system.
auth	Authorisation for the resource.

Member Function Documentation

void PHTTPDirectory::AllowDirectories

(

PBoolean

enable = true

)

Enable or disable directory listings when a default directory file does not exist.

PBoolean PHTTPDirectory::CheckAuthority ( PHTTPServer &  server, const PHTTPRequest &  request, const PHTTPConnectionInfo &  conInfo  )

protectedvirtual

See if the resource is authorised given the mime info.

Reimplemented from PHTTPResource.

virtual PHTTPRequest* PHTTPDirectory::CreateRequest ( const PURL &  url, const PMIMEInfo &  inMIME, const PMultiPartList &  multipartFormInfo, PHTTPServer &  socket  )

virtual

Create a new request block for this type of resource.

Returns

Pointer to instance of PHTTPRequest descendant class.

Reimplemented from PHTTPFile.

void PHTTPDirectory::EnableAuthorisation

(

const PString &

realm

)

Enable or disable access control using .access files.

A directory tree containing a _access file will require authorisation to allow access. This file has contains one or more lines, each containing a username and password seperated by a ":" character.

The parameter sets the realm used for authorisation requests. An empty realm disables auhtorisation.

PBoolean PHTTPDirectory::FindAuthorisations ( const PDirectory &  dir, PString &  realm, PStringToString &  authorisations  )

protected

virtual PBoolean PHTTPDirectory::LoadHeaders ( PHTTPRequest &  request )

virtual

Get the headers for block of data (eg HTML) that the resource contains.

This will fill in all the fields of the outMIME parameter required by the resource and return the status for the load.

Returns

true if all OK, false if an error occurred.

Parameters

request

Information on this request.

Reimplemented from PHTTPFile.

virtual PString PHTTPDirectory::LoadText ( PHTTPRequest &  request )

virtual

Get a block of text data (eg HTML) that the resource contains.

The default behaviour is to assert, one of LoadText() or LoadData() functions must be overridden for correct operation.

Returns

String for loaded text.

Parameters

request

Information on this request.

Reimplemented from PHTTPFile.
