DESCRIPTION
These procedures provide a simple interface for returning information to the client. They
build HTTP/1.0 headers and send the appropriate data out the socket to the client. The
script does not end at the time ns_return* is invoked so you can continue processing data
after the client has gotten the data and closed the socket.
type should be a MIME type (see ns_guesstype manual page for a list). status is a three-
digit number fitting the pattern below: 1xx Informational - Not used, but reserved for
future use. 2xx Success - The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
3xx Redirection - Further action must be taken in order to complete the request. 4xx
Client Error - The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled. 5xx Server Error -
The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request. Some common status values and
their meanings are: 201 Created 202 Accepted 203 Provisional Information 204 No Content
300 Multiple Choices 301 Moved Permanently 302 Moved Temporarily 303 Method 304 Not
Modified 401 Unauthorized 402 Payment Required 403 Forbidden 404 Not Found 405 Method Not
Allowed 406 None Acceptable 407 Proxy Authentication Required 408 Request Time-out 409
Conflict 410 Gone 501 Not Implemented 502 Bad Gateway 503 Service Unavailable 504 Gateway
Time-out ns_connsendfp
This function writes len bytes of the specified channel or file to the conn.
ns_return
Sends back both the headers and the string.
ns_returnadminnotice
Wraps the text msg and longmsg in some html, appends a line with a link to
"mailto:serveradministrator" based on the virtual server parameter "WebMaster".
ns_returnbadrequest
Returns a 400 status code and a formatted HTML message containing the reason text.
ns_returnerror
Wraps the text msg in some html and returns that to the client.
ns_returnfile
Sends back the headers and the contents of the file.
ns_returnforbidden
Returns a 403 status code.
ns_returnfp
First sends the appropriate headers. Next, it writes out the contents of file from
the current file position until the end of the file.
ns_returnnotfound
Returns a 404 status code.
ns_returnnotice
Wraps teh text msg and longmsg in some html and returns that to the client.
ns_returnredirect
Returns a redirect to the passed in location
ns_returnunauthorized
Returns a 401 status code
ns_write
Writes the string out the connection. You can use it instead of the ns_return or
ns_respond functions to build HTTP responses. AOLserver will not include the usual
headers on the output data. The script does not end at the time ns_write* is
invoked so you can continue processing data after the client has gotten the data
and closed the socket.
