Cgi Delphi DLL Reference Documentation

Cgi

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Provides the ability to receive HTTP requests and all associated parameters, HTTP header fields, etc. A common use is for receiving HTTP uploads. Provides the ability to receive uploads that stream directly to disk, eliminating memory requirements for large files. Also provides the ability to receive uploaded files directly in memory.

Create/Dispose

var
myObject: HCkCgi;

begin
myObject := CkCgi_Create();

// ...

CkCgi_Dispose(myObject);
end;
function CkCgi_Create: HCkCgi; stdcall;

Creates an instance of the HCkCgi object and returns a handle (i.e. a Pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

procedure CkCgi_Dispose(handle: HCkCgi); stdcall;

Objects created by calling CkCgi_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function.

DebugLogFilePath
procedure CkCgi_getDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkCgi; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
procedure CkCgi_putDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkCgi; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkCgi__debugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkCgi): PWideChar; stdcall;

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

LastErrorHtml
procedure CkCgi_getLastErrorHtml(objHandle: HCkCgi; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkCgi__lastErrorHtml(objHandle: HCkCgi): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
procedure CkCgi_getLastErrorText(objHandle: HCkCgi; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkCgi__lastErrorText(objHandle: HCkCgi): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
procedure CkCgi_getLastErrorXml(objHandle: HCkCgi; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkCgi__lastErrorXml(objHandle: HCkCgi): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
function CkCgi_getLastMethodSuccess(objHandle: HCkCgi): wordbool; stdcall;
procedure CkCgi_putLastMethodSuccess(objHandle: HCkCgi; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of True indicates success, a value of False indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = True and failure = False.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to True. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

VerboseLogging
function CkCgi_getVerboseLogging(objHandle: HCkCgi): wordbool; stdcall;
procedure CkCgi_putVerboseLogging(objHandle: HCkCgi; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;

If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version
procedure CkCgi_getVersion(objHandle: HCkCgi; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkCgi__version(objHandle: HCkCgi): PWideChar; stdcall;
