This function allows user verification of the security tokens. This step is
performed based on the authentication scheme.
Only HTTP_extract() and HTTPD_set() are valid during this step.
Name Translation
void
HTTPD_LINKAGE NameTrans(
unsigned char *handle, long *return_code);
This function provides a mechanism for mapping URLs to objects.
Only HTTPD_extract() and HTTPD_set() are valid during this step.
Authorization
void
HTTPD_LINKAGE Authorization(
unsigned char *handle, long *return_code);
This function verifies that the identified object may be returned to the
client. If you are doing basic authentication, you must generate the
required WWW-Authentication headers.
Only HTTPD_extract() and HTTPD_set() are valid functions during this
step.
Object Type
void
HTTPD_LINKAGE ObjType(
unsigned char *handle, long *return_code);
This step checks to see if the object exists and performs object typing.
Only HTTPD_extract() and HTTPD_set() are valid during this step.
Service
void
HTTPD_LINKAGE Service(
unsigned char *handle, long *return_code);
This function satisfies the request, if not satisfied in the PreExit.
All server-predefined functions are valid during this step. Refer to the
Enable directive in the HTTP Server for AS/400 Webmaster’s Guide,
GC41-5434 for information.
Data Filter
Filters data as a stream class, which means that each of its functions acts
like a segment of pipe down which data flows. For this step, you must use
three application functions:
void
HTTPD_LINKAGE open(
unsigned char *handle, long *return_code);
This function performs any initialization (such as buffer allocation) that is
required to process the data for this stream. An error return code causes
this filter to abort.
