HttpFilterProc (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This function is an application-defined function. The Web Server calls it when a notification event for which the filter has registered (in GetFilterVersion) occurs. ISAPI filters export this function so the Web Server service can pass information and control to the filters.

Note

Registering ISAPI filters for raw data notifications is no longer supported. Applications should write ISAPI extensions to process and generate data that is sent to and from the Web Server.

Syntax

DWORD WINAPI HttpFilterProc(
  PHTTP_FILTER_CONTEXT pfc, 
  DWORD NotificationType, 
  VOID* pvNotification
);

Parameters

  • pfc
    [in] Pointer to an HTTP_FILTER_CONTEXT structure that is associated with the current, active HTTP transaction.
  • NotificationType
    [in] Pointer to a bitmask that indicates the type of notification event that is being processed.

Return Value

Returns a DWORD status code that indicates how the application handled the event. The following table shows the possible return values.

Return value

Description

SF_STATUS_REQ_FINISHED

The filter has handled the HTTP request. The server should disconnect the session.

SF_STATUS_REQ_FINISHED_KEEP_CONN

Treated the same as SF_STATUS_REQ_FINISHED. After this notification is received, the connection is closed.

SF_STATUS_REQ_NEXT_NOTIFICATION

The next filter in the notification chain should be called.

SF_STATUS_REQ_HANDLED_NOTIFICATION

This filter handled the notification. No other handlers should be called for this particular notification type.

SF_STATUS_REQ_ERROR

An error occurred. The server should call GetLastError and indicate the error to the client. The HTTP request will generally be aborted when this status is returned. The client should call SetLastError with the nature of the failure.

Remarks

This function usually serves as the dispatch for a Web (ISAPI) filter. Separate functions are often created to serve as handlers for the separate notifications, especially if the handling code is complicated.
