TROSuperHTTPServer

Overview

This Super HTTP Server implements the server side of the new and enhanced HTTP based channel which provides a sophisticated and flexible communication channel that uses persistent connections to enable true asynchronous calls and server callbacks.

Location

 

constructor Create  override

Standard component constructor

constructor Create(aOwner: TComponent)

Parameters:

  • aOwner: Owner

AccessControlMaxAge    (declared in TROCustomHTTPServer)

property AccessControlMaxAge: Integer read write

Active    (declared in TROServer)

Toggles whether the server ready to receive requests from clients. Depending on the server type, changing this property might open/close a network socket or otherwise toggle whether the server will process incoming requests.

property Active: Boolean read write

Assign  override

Copies the contents of another, similar object.

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied

AutoRegisterSession    (declared in TROBaseSuperHTTPServer)

This property is used by the server to automatically sign new clients up to the event repository, thus making it possible for them to receive events without manual registration. The default value is true.

property AutoRegisterSession: Boolean read write

BindV4

Gets or sets the flag indicating whether the server should listen for IPv4 connections.

Setting this flag doesn't have any immediate effect. Its value is used only when the server is opened (either by setting the Active property to true).

property BindV4: Boolean read write

BindV6

Gets or sets the flag indicating whether the server should listen for IPv6 connections.

Setting this flag doesn't have any immediate effect. Its value is used only when the server is opened (either by setting the Active property to true).

property BindV6: Boolean read write

CheckProperties  virtual    (declared in TROServer)

Validates the server properties.

procedure CheckProperties

CloseConnection  protected override

Closes the specified connection when overridden.

procedure CloseConnection(aConnection: IROHTTPClientCapabilities)

Parameters:

  • aConnection: Specified connection

ConnectionTimeout    (declared in TROBaseSuperHTTPServer)

The timeout, in seconds, after which the idle connection will be closed.

The default value is 300 (i.e. 5 minutes).

property ConnectionTimeout: Integer read write

DefaultResponse  protected    (declared in TROServer)

Holds the message that will be sent back to the client if it improperly "welcomes" the server.

property DefaultResponse: string read write

DisableNagle

Controls whether data packets are sent individually or if small packets are held back to send as part of fewer larger data packets. Normally, you will want this disabled as it can have a significant effect on performance. The only time when its worth keeping the property enabled is when there are many small packets to be sent and you need to keep network bandwidth to a minimum.

See more at Nagle's algorithm

property DisableNagle: Boolean read write

Dispatchers    (declared in TROServer)

Each server must have at least one dispatcher configured, in order to be able to process messages.

=Essential Sub-Properties=

  • Message specifies the message format to be used for this dispatcher.
  • Name specifies the name, or possibly the URL for the dispatcher.

In HTTP based servers (such as the TROIndyHTTPServer, the Name will be appended as folder to the server URL allowing the server to make multiple dispatchers available at different URLs.
