There are quite a few changes, both minor and more important, that have
occurred since the 3.1 release. Two important changes are summarized here:
(From the WHATSNEW file in the distribution)
What's new in TclHttpd
3.2
This adds a custom code directory that makes it easier to drop in
your applicaton-specific code without hand-editting the bin/httpd.tcl
and bin/httpdthread.tcl files. Basically, all *.tcl files in the
custom code directory are sourced towards the end of startup.
Specify this directory with the -library command line switch,
or with the "library" tclhttpd.rc file parameter. By default this
is the "custom" directory that now appears in the distribution.
The Url_PrefixInstall command has been generalized to take some
optional flags to enable some features on a per-domain basis.
The calling sequence is backward compatible:
Url_PrefixInstall urlprefix tclcommand args
where the optional args are option-value pairs:
-thread boolean
If boolean is true, and threads are enabled,
Then the domain handler is run in a thread.
The default is FALSE.
-readpost boolean
If boolean is true, then the POST data is
read in a non-blocking fashion before the
domain handler is invoked, and appears in
the data(query) variable.
The default is TRUE, so turn this off
if you have special post-data-reading code.
-command tclcommand2
This registers a command that is called
at the very end of URL processing by the
Httpd layer. If the server decides to
time out your domain handler or the request
somehow aborts during processing, this
provides a way to learn about that. The
command is called with two arguments, the
socket handle on the connection, and an
error string. If the error string is empty,
no error occurred.
The default is no callback.
