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.
