Hi, In the light of recent fppkg and fcl-web discussions: I've committed simple HTTP server (threaded or not) and HTTP Client components to FCL-Web. They work using the fcl-net ssockets unit. (for which a fix has been committed as well). Both use blocking sockets. The server component is integrated in the rest of fcl-web, the client is rather stand-alone. Both are designed to be easily extensible. There are examples of how to use both. The server example for instance allows files to be served and will properly report a 404 when a file is not found. To do this, I committed a fpmimetypes unit to fcl-base, so the server can correctly determine the mime type of a file. It can read the contents of a mime.types file as found on unix. if someone knows where this file can be found (or related information) on a Windows OS, please let me know. This is an initial implementation. Known to-dos: Client: * Maybe add proxy support ? * Easy access methods for POST/DELETE etc. commands. (currently only Get exists as a method, the rest can easily be done with HTTPMethod) Server: * Create a TWebHandler and THTTPWebApplication for use as a Lazarus project. Comments and suggestions welcome. Please report bugs in the bugtracker. Michael.
Great stuff Michael. I can see many uses for the HTTPClient alone without having to use a third libraries.
Any idea when THTTPWehHandler/THTTPWebApplication objects will be included? I imagine its a bit of work. It would make development of fpweb applications a lot easier and more convenient though. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the innards of fpweb unfortunately.
