[twsocket] XE2 and ICS
1: I am just experimenting with XE2 and ICS. If I create a basic VCL project and add a TFTPClient, compile for 32-bit, all is fine. Compile for 64-bit and I get the error: Can't find OverbyteIcsWndControl.dcu Something simple I am missing? 2: Now trying to do the same thing in a FireMonkey project and see if I can get something to eventually work on a MAC. I don't see any ICS components in the Tool Palette. I assume this is possible from previous posts about the HttpsTst demo. Any help much appreciated.

Re: [twsocket] XE2 and ICS
1: That fixed it. Thanks. Must keep my eyes open for all these extra boxes. 2: Good luck. I'm not that impressed with FireMonkey yet. I think the concept is brilliant, but seems to be a long way from being useable once you get away from basic component usage. Still that's not for this discussion group.

[twsocket] HttpServer performance improvement
SVN has been updated with a new THttpServer: Oct 18, 2011 V7.40 Angus GET performance improvements, use TBufferedFileStream, SndBlkSize default is 8192 and dynamically increased to new property MaxBlkSize if stream is larger than SndBlkSize. SocketSndBufSize also increased to SndBlkSize. Setting the new server property MaxBlkSize to 65,536 caused a four times decrease in download time for a 50 meg from my public server, making it faster than IIS/7 downloads on the same server. Note the new buffer size defaults to 8,192 instead of 1,460 so there is a small memory increase for each client, but is never larger than the largest actual file being sent in a session. The larger buffer size means less buffer locking and unlocking in TWSocket.

Re: [twsocket] HttpServer and Server-push?
I'm kind of bound to HTTP due to some backward compatibility constraints :( Does anyone have a working example of this I could look at? I'm having problems getting something working or perhaps links to any documentation That would assist. Thanks again, Chris. -Original Message- From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Francois PIETTE Sent: 18 October 2011 17:23 To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] HttpServer and Server-push? I then need to be able to send HTTP messages (xml documents) back from the server to the client periodically or as and when I need to, down the already open connection. The client still needs to be able to respond to these messages. Since you seems to control both client and server side, I wonder why you need to use HTTP protocol. Why don't you design your own custom protocol tailored to fit your needs ? Of course, your own protocol may use port 80 if it is what is open. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] HttpServer and Server-push?
Does anyone have a working example of this I could look at? An example of what, a web server? Or use of a timer? I actually added a timer to my own web server yesterday, to delay sending a 404 error by 30 seconds to any hackers that try and open a PHP page, to slow down their probing.

Re: [twsocket] HttpServer and Server-push?
I'm still using the WebServer demo (although much cut down) to try and Add in the changes you suggested. That's fine. i.e. in the PostDocument Flags := hgAcceptData; --- PostedData wont fire unless this is set. ClientCnx.KeepAlive := True; What about the code to send the XML, and the timer I said you needed?

Re: [twsocket] Suggestion for DocumentToContentType
I also find myself with the need to edit the DocumentToContentType function, each time I update my local copy of ICS. This has not being addressed yet, so how about if, instead of the more complex implementation proposed here, an assignable OnDocumentToContentType property is added to the httpserver, so users can provide their own implementation of the DocumentToContentType function, if they need to provide other content types. The function is only called from the THttpConnection.SendDocument, so it will go as: procedure THttpConnection.SendDocument(SendType : THttpSendType; const CustomHeaders : String); if assigned(FServer.FOnDocumentToContentType) then FAnswerContentType :=FServer.FOnDocumentToContentType(FDocument) else FAnswerContentType := DocumentToContentType(FDocument); .. Hi Lars, Lars Gehre wrote: Hi, after getting chewed out (again!) for forgetting to extend the DocumentToContentType function after an update of ICS, I like to suggest an improvement. As base use a THashedStringlist (or something similar). Fill the list with the default extension/contentType names and values pairs and provide a public RegisterContentType procedure to add customized content types to the list. It might be actually faster (sorted list) than the old function... I agree. Maybe this is also the time to add use the registry to find MIME type for file types ;) AFAIK this is rather slow and if there were an option to register custom MIME types one could feed them from the registry into the hashlist once on server start? -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
