.request.filename and 404 error (wodWebServer / wodWebServer.NET)

by dirk, Friday, November 20, 2009, 12:47 (5265 days ago)

With the http1_reuqestdone event I checking for the FULLURI that is received.
Based on that URI the app decides what data should be send back to the user.
In some cases it's a file that should be send to the user.
I'm setting this via
user.request.filename= c:myfile.html

IF the file exists then the file is correctly served to the client. However if the file doesn't exist then the client doesn't get a 404 error (as I would expect). Is this normal? And if so what to do to be sure that in this cases I would get (in the client) a 404 error?

(using VB6)

Dirk,


Why don't you first check if file exist using VB6?

If file doesn't exist you can send 404 error with wodWebServer.

I thought the webserver component would do that.
I'll do it in VB then :-(

Dirk,

if file doesn't exist then 404 should be returned. What status do you receive instead? It has to return *something*..

It seems like nothing is returned at all.
The browser continues to wait for the response....when I stop the webserver then I see that when I stop that server the browser also stops waiting....

Dirk,

I am not sure if this is a bug or not, but I did make a fix to prevent this from happening.

Please request update, official version in 1-2 days.
