Currently I'm starting some research on HTTP downloads with ICS THttpCli. I want to add recursive download functionality but faced with impossibility to distinguish file of directory. Then I noticed that requests to folder without trailing slash (GET /somepath/foo/bar) are redirected to locations with slash (/somepath/foo/bar/) so it's easy to tell it's a directory. I'm far not close to HTTP specs and don't know whether it's obligatory behavior and could I rely on it. Moreover, though THttpCli implements redirect internally (fortunately!!!) I don't know whether I could rely on FPath (of FLocation?) fields. I looked in RFC but found nothing on this issue.
And another thing. Shouldn't header fields Modified-since and Date be parsed as well as other ones? RFC1123_StrToDate is already present in the unit, just 2 date formats are left to implement. And the last (finally!). RFC1123_Date seem to double standard Delphi FormatDateTime routine. You may use it with english TFormatSettings record specified (get it by GetLocaleFormatSettings(LOCALE_INVARIANT) ) to fix month and day names. This could be also used in data parsing. -- Anton -- 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
