IWMSPlayer::get_RequestedURL

The get_RequestedURL method retrieves the URL that the player used to request a connection.

Syntax

  HRESULT get_RequestedURL(
  BSTR*  pVal
);

Parameters

pVal

[out] Pointer to a BSTR containing the URL.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code Number Meaning
DISP_E_BADINDEX 0x8002000B No requested URL is associated with this client.
E_POINTER 0x80004003 pVal is a NULL pointer argument.

Remarks

The URL that is returned by the get_RequestedURL method can be different than that requested by the player. For example, if the player requests mms://ServerName/movie.wmv, the get_RequestedURL method can return either mmsu://ServerName/movie.wmv or mmst://ServerName/movie.wmv, depending on the type of connection used by the session.

Example Code

#include <windows.h>
#include <atlbase.h>    // Includes CComBSTR and CComVariant.
#include "wmsserver.h"

// Declare variables and interfaces.
IWMSServer      *pServer;
IWMSPlayers     *pPlayers;
IWMSPlayer      *pPlayer;

HRESULT         hr;
CComVariant     varIndex;
CComBSTR        bstrURL;
long            lCount;

// Initialize the COM library and retrieve a pointer
// to an IWMSServer interface.
hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WMSServer,
                      NULL,
                      CLSCTX_ALL,
                      IID_IWMSServer,
                      (void **)&pServer);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to an IWMSPlayers interface
// and retrieve the total count of current connections.
hr = pServer->get_Players(&pPlayers);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;
hr = pPlayers->get_Count(&lCount);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve information about each client connection.
for (long x = 0; x < lCount; x++)
{
    varIndex = x;
    hr = pPlayers->get_Item(varIndex, &pPlayer);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Retrieve the requested URL of the client.
    hr = pPlayer->get_RequestedURL(&bstrURL);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Release temporary COM objects.
