IHttpFileInfo Interface

 

Extends the IHttpCacheSpecificData interface by adding file-specific information for files that are cached on a server.

Syntax

class IHttpFileInfo : public IHttpCacheSpecificData  

Methods

The following table lists the methods exposed by the IHttpFileInfo class.

Name Description
AccessCheck Returns a value that indicates whether the user can access the corresponding file.
CheckIfFileHasChanged Returns a value that indicates whether the corresponding file has been changed since it was loaded into a file cache.
DecrementTTL (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
DereferenceCacheData (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
GetAttributes Retrieves the attributes of the corresponding file for an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetCacheKey (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
GetETag Retrieves the entity tag of the corresponding file for an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetFileBuffer Returns a buffer in memory loaded from the corresponding file.
GetFileHandle Returns the file handle for the corresponding file.
GetFilePath Returns the physical path of the file referenced by an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetFlushed (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
GetHttpCacheAllowed Returns a value that indicates whether the corresponding file can be cached.
GetLastModifiedString Retrieves the last modified string of the corresponding file for an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetLastModifiedTime Retrieves the last modified time structure of the corresponding file for an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetModuleContextContainer Returns an IHttpModuleContextContainer pointer for the corresponding file.
GetSize Retrieves the size of the corresponding file for an IHttpFileInfo interface.
GetVrPath Returns the virtual path for the corresponding file.
GetVrToken Returns the virtual token for the corresponding file.
ReferenceCacheData (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
ResetTTL (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)
SetFlushed (Inherited from IHttpCacheSpecificData.)

Derived Classes

This interface contains no derived classes.

Remarks

CHttpModule derived classes that register for request or response events receive an IHttpContext pointer on the corresponding virtual method for the event. You can retrieve an IHttpFileInfo pointer by calling the IHttpContext::GetFileInfo method.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the IHttpContext::GetFileInfo method to create an HTTP module that retrieves a pointer to an IHttpFileInfo interface. The example then displays the IHttpFileInfo data to a Web client.

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.
