2.38 frystyk 16: The Net class manages information related to a "thread" in libwww. As libwww
17: threads are not really threads but a notion of using interleaved, non-blocking
18: I/O for accessing data objects from the network (or local file system), they
19: can be used on any platform with or without support for native threads. In
20: the case where you have an application using real threads the Net class is
21: simply a object maintaining links to all other objects involved in serving
22: the request. If you are using the libwww pseudo threads then the Net object
23: contains enough information to stop and start a request based on which BSD
24: sockets are ready. In practise this is of course transparent to the application
25: - this is just to explain the difference.
26: <P>
27: When a <A HREF="HTReq.html">Request object</A> is passed to the Library ,
28: the core creates a new HTNet object pr <A HREF="HTChannl.html">channel</A>
29: used by the request. In many cases a request only uses a single
30: <A HREF="HTChannl.html">channel object </A>but for example FTP requests use
31: at least two - one for the control connection and one for the data connection.
32: <P>
33: You can find more information about the libwww pseudo thread model in the
34: <A HREF="../User/Architecture/"> Multithread Specifications</A>.

2.36 eric 61: </H2>
62: <P>
2.43 frystyk 63: Filter functions can be registered to be called <EM>before</EM> and
2.44 frystyk 64: <EM>after</EM> a request has either been started or has terminated. The
65: conditions for <I>BEFORE</I> and <I>AFTER</I> filters are not the same so
66: we maintain them independently. Filters can be registered globally or locally.
67: The global filters are registered directly by the Net Object (this module)
68: and the local filters are registered by the
69: <A HREF="HTReq.html">HTRequest</A> Object. However, both local and
70: global filters use the same regisration mechanism which we provide here.
71: <H3>
72: Filter Ordering
73: </H3>
74: <P>
75: Filters can be registered by anyone and as they are an often used mechanism
76: for introducing extensions in libwww, they are videly used to handle
77: authentication, redirection, etc. Many filters can be registered at once
78: and not all of the filters may know about the other filters. Therefore, it
79: is difficult to specify an absolute ordering by which the filters should
80: be called. Instead you can decide a relative order by which the filters should
81: be called. The order works pretty much like the Unix priority mechanism running
82: from <CODE>HT_FILTER_FIRST</CODE> to <CODE>HT_FILTER_LAST</CODE> having
83: <CODE>HT_FILTER_MIDDLE</CODE> being the "normal" case.
84: <PRE>
2.45 frystyk 85: typedef enum _HTFilterOrder {

89: HT_FILTER_LATE = 0xBFFE, /* 49150 */
90: HT_FILTER_LAST = 0xFFFF /* 65535 */
91: } HTFilterOrder;
2.44 frystyk 92: </PRE>
93: <P>
94: In case multiple filters are registered with the same order then they are
95: called in the <I>inverse</I> order they were registered.
96: <H3>
97: Filter URL Templates
98: </H3>
99: <P>
100: Both <I>BEFORE</I> and <I>AFTER</I> filters can be registered with a <I>URL
101: template</I> in which case they are only called when the <I>Request URL</I>
102: matches the template. A template is simply a string which is matched against
103: the <I>Request URL</I>. The string can be terminated by a single
104: "<CODE>*</CODE>" in which case all strings matching the template up til the
105: "*" is considered a match. A template can be as short as the access scheme
106: which enmables a filter for a specific access method only, for example
107: "<CODE>http//<star></CODE>".
108: <H3>
109: BEFORE Filters
110: </H3>
111: <P>
112: A <I>BEFORE</I> filter is called whenever we issue a request and they have
113: been selected by the execution procedure. <I>BEFORE</I> filters are registered
114: with a <I>context</I> and a <I>filter order</I> by which they are to be called
115: and a <I>URL template</I> which may be NULL. In this case, the filter is
116: called on every request. The mode can be used by anybody to pass an extra
2.45 frystyk 117: parameter to a filter. This is not really OO thinking - but hey - this is
118: C ;-)

154: is, on the way out from the <A HREF="HTProt.html">protocol module</A> and
155: back to the application. <I>AFTER</I> filters are registered with a
156: <I>context</I>, a <I>status</I>, a <I>filter order</I> by which they are
157: to be called and a <I>URL template</I> which may be NULL. The status of the
158: request may determine which filter to call. The set of possible values are
159: given below. An <I>AFTER</I> filter can be registered to handle one or more
160: of the codes.
