My Title

/*@@ @file Content.txt @date 08.04.2004 @author Steve White @desc Description of the Content interface @enddesc @version $Header$ @@*/ There is an interface for setting HTML page content information, which is accessed by including http_Content.h. This provides functions int HTTP_SendString(httpRequest *request, const String* message); which sends the string message to HTTP, void HTTP_SetHeadInfo( String *header); which copies a string containing typical content of the HEAD element of the standard Cactus HTTPD web pages. Particularly, it includes style information, but not the title of the page. void HTTP_SetDoctype( String *header); which copies a standard DOCTYPE tag into the string. Typical use will be to emit this string immediately before the first HTML tag of the web page being generated. int HTTP_SetContentHeaderString(const cGH *cctkGH, int choice, String *mess, const String *menu); This copies standard Cactus body HTML information into the string mess. If choice is nonzero, the information is appropriate for a main page; if it is 0, the information is appropriate for non-main pages. If the menu argument is non-null, that string will be appended as HTML to the standard menus. int HTTP_SetContentFooterString(const cGH *cctkGH, int choice, String *mess ); This copies standard Cactus footer HTML into the string mess; if choice is nonzero, the information is appropriate for the main page. int HTTP_ContentSendFromFile(httpRequest *request, int filedes); which emits the entirety of the file referred to by file descriptor filedes to HTTP, int HTTP_ContentLink(const char *URL, const char *name, const char *description, int flags); which...I don't know what this does. The functions int HTTP_ContentHeader(const cGH *cctkGH, int choice, int len, char *mess, const char *menu); int HTTP_ContentFooter(const cGH *cctkGH, int choice, int len, char *mess); are a little dangerous. They are like the corresponding ContentHeader and Footer calls above, with the len attribute indicating the length of the character buffer mess. ------------------------------------ Other included functions int HTTP_SendString(httpRequest *request, const String* message); Example: -------- A web page is typically generated in the following sequence. The HTTP connection has already been established and saved in the httpRequest pointer, and a String instance 'message' has been created. 0) HTTP_SendOKHeader( httpRequest ) 1a) HTTP_SetDoctype( message ); 1b) HTTP_SendString( httpRequest, message ); 2) HTTP_Send( httpRequest, "\n" ); 3) HTTP_Send( httpRequest, "My Title\n" ); 4a) HTTP_HeadInfo( message ); 4b) HTTP_SendString( httpRequest, message ); 5) HTTP_Send( httpRequest, "\n" ); 6) HTTP_HeadInfo( httpRequest ); 7a) HTTP_SetContentHeaderString(cctkGH, choice, message, menu); 7b) HTTP_SendString( httpRequest, message ); 8) Page content 9a) HTTP_SetContentFooterString(cctkGH, choice, message); 9b) HTTP_SendString( httpRequest, message ); 10) HTTP_Send( httpRequest, "\n" );
