IHttpContext::GetScriptMap Method

Article
05/20/2022

Returns the script map container for the current context.

Syntax

virtual IScriptMapInfo* GetScriptMap(  
   VOID  
) const = 0;

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Value

A pointer to an IScriptMapInfo interface.

Remarks

The GetScriptMap method is used to retrieve a pointer to the IScriptMapInfo interface for the current context. The IScriptMapInfo interface contains several methods that return information about the scripting environment.

Note

The HTTP context object owns the lifetime of this object. Therefore, you do not free this pointer when writing HTTP modules.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetScriptMap method to create an HTTP module that retrieves a pointer to an IScriptMapInfo interface. The example then uses the IScriptMapInfo::GetAllowedVerbs method to retrieve the list of HTTP methods that are allowed for the current request path.

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
