IHttpServer::GetWorkerProcessSettings Method

 

Retrieves an IWpfSettings interface.

Syntax

virtual HRESULT GetWorkerProcessSettings(  
   IWpfSettings** ppWorkerProcessSettings  
) = 0;  

Parameters

ppWorkerProcessSettings
A dereferenced pointer to an IWpfSettings interface.

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Value	Description
S_OK	Indicates that the operation was successful.

Remarks

The GetWorkerProcessSettings method allows developers to retrieve configuration information about the worker process framework through an IWpfSettings interface.

Note

The server controls the lifetime and reference counting for IWpfSettings.

IWpfSettings exposes several methods that you can use to retrieve specific information about the worker process framework. For example, the IWpfSettings::GetDwordProperty method enables you to retrieve the IDLE_TIMEOUT or PERIODIC_RESTART_TIME settings.

Example

The following code example illustrates how to use the GetWorkerProcessSettings method to create an HTTP module that retrieves the version of the common language runtime (CLR) on the server. The module then returns that information to a Web client.

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>
#include <sal.h>
#include <httpserv.h>
#include <wpframework.h>

// Create a pointer for the global server interface.
IHttpServer * g_pGlobalInfo = NULL;

// Create the module class.

        IN IHttpContext * pHttpContext,
        IN IHttpEventProvider * pProvider
    )
    {
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pProvider );

        // Create an HRESULT to receive return values from methods.
        HRESULT hr;

        // Create a pointer to an IWpfSettings class.
        IWpfSettings * pWpfSettings;

        // Retrieve the IWpfSettings class.
        hr = g_pGlobalInfo->GetWorkerProcessSettings(&pWpfSettings);

        // Test for an error.
        if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
        {

                hr = HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY);
                pProvider->SetErrorStatus( hr );
                // End additional processing.

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.
