Detailed Description

A resource which streams data from memory.

Use this resource if you want to serve resource data from memory. This is suitable for relatively small resources, which still require some computation.

If creating the data requires computation which you would like to post-pone until the resource is served, then you may want to directly reimplement WResource instead and compute the data on the fly while streaming.

Usage examples:

auto imageResource = std::make_shared<Wt::WMemoryResource>("image/gif");
static const unsigned char gifData[]
= { 0x47, 0x49, 0x46, 0x38, 0x39, 0x61, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00,
0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0xdb, 0xdf, 0xef, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x21,
0xf9, 0x04, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x2c, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x02, 0x02, 0x44,
0x01, 0x00, 0x3b };
imageResource->setData(gifData, 43);
auto image = std::make_unique<Wt::WImage>(Wt::WLink(imageResource), "1 transparent pixel");

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WMemoryResource() [1/2]

Wt::WMemoryResource::WMemoryResource ( )

Creates a new resource.

You must call setMimeType() and setData() before using the resource.

◆ WMemoryResource() [2/2]

Wt::WMemoryResource::WMemoryResource ( const std::string &  mimeType)

Creates a new resource with given mime-type.

You must call setData() before using the resource.

Member Function Documentation

◆ handleRequest()

void Wt::WMemoryResource::handleRequest ( const Http::Request request,
Http::Response response 
)
overridevirtual

Handles a request.

Reimplement this method so that a proper response is generated for the given request. From the request object you can access request parameters and whether the request is a continuation request. In the response object, you should set the mime type and stream the output data.

A request may also concern a continuation, indicated in Http::Request::continuation(), in which case the next part for a previously created continuation should be served.

While handling a request, which may happen at any time together with event handling, the library makes sure that the resource is not being concurrently deleted, but multiple requests may happend simultaneously for a single resource.

Implements Wt::WResource.

◆ setData()

void Wt::WMemoryResource::setData ( const unsigned char *  data,
int  count 
)

Sets new data for the resource to serve.

Sets the data from using the first count bytes from the C-style data array.
