Guest · Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:17 pm Post subject: ISAPI DLL Content Streams?

I am building a ISAPI DLL in Delphi 7 and Intraweb 9.X

I have forms with Submit button. When I submit the Form to HTTP
server, i need to catch the respose content stream.

How Do I receive the respose Content stream and do something with it,
so that it does not load in my browser and make my ISAPI DLL go away.

I need to maintain the state I am in. Keep the DLL loaded...and have
the content stream go to

1.) a New browser WIndow

OR

2. ) in the same window as DLL, but loaded into some intraweb
component

THanks

Which method do you use to deploy your DLLs? I don't think you can do this
in IIS or any other standard WebServer.
You need to build your custom ISAPI server application that will allow you
monitoring/modifying the HTTP traffic.

There are two choices that I'm aware of:

1)idISAPIRunner component
http://members.chello.be/ws36637/
It uses an Indy idHttpServer to load ISAPI modules. Since it is Indy based
you can intercept the flow and monitor/modify the HTTP traffic.
I can not gurantee that this one is bug/leak free but it works fine. It is a
wonderful component for free but you must be carefull and fully test for
possible resource leaks.

2)RTC ISAPI Components:
http://www.realthinclient.com/
They provide components for serving ISAPI modules. Source code is provided
so you can sneak into communication and filter the HTTP traffic.

Hi , Thanks for responding. I guess I should have given you more
info.

I do use a Custom HTTP Server....and it uses idISAPIRunner to serve
the DLL.

I have users fill in a form and submit it to the Server, in response,
the server sends back a report (document).

I need to now, intercept this stream......and show it in either a new
window, or intraweeb component ...so as my dll does not get unloaded.

I send it a HTTP request and the server replies with a Content Stream
(Document).

I was wondering how it capture this and display it in a new window, so it
does not make my currently loaded DLL go away. I need to remain on the
current form in the DLL - but show the response in a new window

Thanks

Well.....ok, it doesn't have to be a new window (all though that would
be nice). I guess it could show the content somewhere on the current
displayed form, or create a form at runtime and add it to the main app
(DLL)...not sure here

as I explained in my previous posts.

I have a ISAPI DLL. The user fills out a form and the form is
submitted to the Custom HTTP server. The server takes the request and
depending on the data submitted, it returns either a web page back or
some file (Report) in a stream.

I was wondering how to capture that stream or page and display it
eitherr in a new window, or in some type of control or form in the
currently loaded DLL.

Thanks
