hey daniel,
the ftp state machine logic is all contained in nsFtpConnectionThread.{h,cpp}. don't let the name of these files throw you... there is no FTP thread... anymore :-)
you'll want to find a way to expose these commands. typically, code using FTP interacts with a nsFTPChannel object. so, you might want to add methods to nsIFTPChannel. the flow of operations probably looks something like this:
client creates FTP channel
client configures FTP channel to: delete, mkdir, or rmdir.
client calls AsyncOpen
client waits for OnStartRequest/OnStopRequest to determine success/failure of operation.
this is of course slightly weird since you aren't really opening anything.
Thanks a lot for the reply, Darin; can you please tell if my interpretation below is wrong:
1. add a few methods to nsIFTPChannel 2. add the corresponding to nsFTPChannel.cpp, those setting a private attribute on the nsFTPChannel 3. pass those attributes to the nsFtpState in nsFTPChannel::SetupState() 4. for instance for file deletion, I can add a new FTP_ACTION called DEL 5. add to nsFtpState the methods corresponding to those defined in item 2 above 6. add a switch on mAction == DEL to nsFtpState::R_pasv() and R_cwd() 7. code nsFtpState::S_del() and nsFtpState::R_del()
Do I miss something ?
</Daniel>
