Public Functions

Theese are the public functions...

Accessing HTTP-Server

extern int HTLoadHTTP PARAMS((HTRequest * request));

Controlling Flags

The following variables can change the behaviour of the module.

Cache control flag

Note: This variable is now replaced by the (char *) HTCacheDir in HTAccess Module

Turn this off if you don't want HTTP protocol fetches to leave cache files. extern BOOL HTCacheHTTP;

Redirections

The maximum number of redirections is pr. default 10 and is set in the module. This prevents the library from going into an infinite loop.

extern int HTMaxRedirections;

Disable/Enable User Identification in HTTP Request

If a client want the user's email address to be send in the HTTP request as a From field then turn this flag on. The default is off because it might cause security problems from within a firewall. When enabled, the format used is user@host.domain. The value can be changed, see HTTCP Module.

extern BOOL HTEnableFrom;

#endif /* HTTP_H */

End of HTTP module definition.
