MDACSHTTPServer 1.3.201.4014

New Features in this Release

Added sugary class QuickResponse which can be retrieved from an IHTTPEncoderProxy using the Response method.

For example, it provides the sugary goodness to create a one line expression that sets the response code, response text, and then allows the chaining of additional header fields and finally either a UTF-8 encoded string or a binary stream. You can also call the method SendNothing to indicate you have no response body content to send. This is an improvement over the old style where individual methods were used and custom headers needed the utilization of a Dictionary<string, string> instance.

Behind the scenes, those same methods are called. If you want to ensure low latency you can always call the lower level primitive API, but if you need a more sugary and time saving way to create responses then the QuickResponse class was created just for that.

Also, included with the QuickResponse addition is the method ContentType_GuessFromFileName which grabs the extension for a filename on the string passed into it. This is then used to find an appropriate mime-type from an embedded database of mime-types and extentions. The example below shows the whole query_string treated as a filename for testing and if not present or valid the something.html is passed in to get back out a content type of text/html.

        public static async Task<Task> Action6(Object shandler, HTTPRequest request, Stream body, IProxyHTTPEncoder encoder)
        {
            return await encoder.Response(200, "ABCD")
                .ContentEncoding("UTF-8")
                .CacheControlDoNotCache()
                .ContentType_GuessFromFileName(request.query_string != null && request.query_string.Length > 0 ? request.query_string : "something.html")
                .SendString("A single little string");
        }
