IScriptMapInfo::GetAllowPathInfoForScriptMappings Method

Retrieves a value that indicates whether a script map handler has the allowPathInfo attribute set to true.

Syntax

virtual BOOL GetAllowPathInfoForScriptMappings(
   VOID
) const = 0;

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Value

true if the allowPathInfo attribute for the script map is set to true; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Developers can use the GetAllowPathInfoForScriptMappings method to retrieve a value that specifies whether an HTTP handler is configured to allow for PathInfo data when it processes requests. PathInfo refers to the additional path information that may follow the file name and extension in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). For example, if you request the URI http://localhost/test.dll/myinfo, the PathInfo portion of that URI is /myinfo.

To configure which HTTP handlers will allow for PathInfo information to be used, set the allowPathInfo attribute to true for an HTTP handler in the ApplicationHost.config file. For example, the configuration section for Internet Server API (ISAPI) DLLs in your ApplicationHost.config file may resemble the following example:

<add name="ISAPI-dll"
    path="*.dll"
    verb="*"
    modules="IsapiModule"
    resourceType="File"
    requireAccess="Execute"
    allowPathInfo="true" />

This example enables the PathInfo data for ISAPI DLLs. Likewise, set the allowPathInfo attribute to false to disable PathInfo data.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetAllowPathInfoForScriptMappings method to create an HTTP module that retrieves a pointer to an IScriptMapInfo interface. The example then uses the GetAllowPathInfoForScriptMappings method to retrieve a value that indicates whether PathInfo data is enabled for the script map. The module returns the result to a Web client and then exits.

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
