Detailed Description

An object which streams the data from a std::istream.

This class can be useful base for implementing resources which streams the data from std::istream derivatives.

The utility method handleRequestPiecewise() makes use of continuations to transmit data piecewise, without blocking a thread or requiring the whole data to be read in memory. The size of the buffer can be changed by using setBufferSize().

Example for a custom stream resource implementation:

class MyStreamResource : public Wt::WStreamResource
{
public:
MyStreamResource(const std::string& fileName, Wt::WObject *parent = 0)
: Wt::WStreamResource(parent),
fileName_(fileName)
{
suggestFileName("data.txt");
}
~MyStreamResource() {
}
void handleRequest(const Wt::Http::Request& request,
Wt::Http::Response& response) {
std::ifstream r(fileName_.c_str(), std::ios::in | std::ios::binary);
handleRequestPiecewise(request, response, r);
}
private:
std::string fileName_;
};

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::WStreamResource::WStreamResource ( WObject parent = 0)

Default constructor.

The mime type defaults to "text/plain".

Wt::WStreamResource::~WStreamResource ( )

Destructor.

It is up to the user to make sure that the resource is no longer in use (by e.g. a WImage).

Member Function Documentation

int Wt::WStreamResource::bufferSize ( ) const

Returns the buffer size.

See also
setBufferSize()
void Wt::WStreamResource::handleRequestPiecewise ( const Http::Request request,
Http::Response response,
std::istream &  input 
)
protected

Handles a request and streams the data from a std::istream.

You can call this method from a custom handleRequest() implementations.

void Wt::WStreamResource::setBufferSize ( int  size)

Configures the buffer size.

This configures the size of the buffer used to transmit the data piece by piece.
