In OnGetDocument you have a Flags argument which tells the component what it has to do after the event is done. If you set it to hgWillSendMySelf, the component will do nothing to send any reply. You can then send it later. You have argument Client in OnGetDocument which tells you who made the request and has to receive the reply you build. You send the reply by invoking one of the AnswerXYZ method on the Client instance. It is interesting for you to run WebServ demo program under the debugger and place a breakpoint in OnGetDocument event handler, the follow the execution for a request such as time.html. You'll understand how the component works and you'll better use it. > For the moment I only know how to use the OnGetDocument to generate the > response and it doesn't provide any room for delaying it's processing! > At what point in time, or where from can I put a request "on hold" so it > doesn't get processed normally? You simply don't send anything from OnGetDocument (that is do not call AnswerXYZ method or Send or similar). You can call it later, for example from an OnTimer event. > Please note I need to have at least part > of the processing go normally, so I actually know it's a valid HTTP > request and I know what "document" the user is requesting etc. If you come into OnGetDocument, then you have all the details available.
