CHttpModule::OnReadEntity Method

 

Represents the method that will handle a ReadEntity event, which occurs when an operation reads data from the request buffer.

Syntax

virtual REQUEST_NOTIFICATION_STATUS OnReadEntity(  
   IN IHttpContext* pHttpContext,  
   IN IReadEntityProvider* pProvider  
);  

Parameters

pHttpContext
[IN] A pointer to an IHttpContext interface.

pProvider
[IN] A pointer to an IReadEntityProvider interface.

Return Value

A REQUEST_NOTIFICATION_STATUS value.

Remarks

When a request-level module has registered for the RQ_READ_ENTITY event notification, IIS will call the module's OnReadEntity method when an operation reads data from the request buffer.

Note

Request-level modules can register for the PostReadEntity event notification by registering for RQ_READ_ENTITY in the module's RegisterModule function.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a request-level HTTP module that registers for the RQ_READ_ENTITY event notification. When IIS reads data from the request buffer, it will call the example module's OnReadEntity method. A simple HTML or ASP.NET page that performs a post will cause the example code to run.

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>
#include <sal.h>
#include <httpserv.h>

// Create the module class.
class MyHttpModule : public CHttpModule
{
public:

    // Process an RQ_READ_ENTITY event.
    REQUEST_NOTIFICATION_STATUS
    OnReadEntity(
        IN IHttpContext * pHttpContext,
        IN IReadEntityProvider * pProvider
    )
    {
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pHttpContext );
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pProvider );
        WriteEventViewerLog("OnReadEntity");
        return RQ_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE;
    }

    MyHttpModule()
    {
        // Open a handle to the Event Viewer.
        m_hEventLog = RegisterEventSource( NULL,"IISADMIN" );
    }

    ~MyHttpModule()
    {
        // Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open.
        if (NULL != m_hEventLog)
        {
            // Close the handle to the Event Viewer.
            DeregisterEventSource( m_hEventLog );
            m_hEventLog = NULL;
        }
    }

private:

    // Create a handle for the event viewer.
    HANDLE m_hEventLog;

    // Define a method that writes to the Event Viewer.
    BOOL WriteEventViewerLog(LPCSTR szNotification)
    {
        // Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open.
        if (NULL != m_hEventLog)
        {
            // Write any strings to the Event Viewer and return.
            return ReportEvent(
                m_hEventLog,
                EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, 0, 0,
                NULL, 1, 0, &szNotification, NULL );
        }
        return FALSE;
    }
};

        MyHttpModule * pModule = new MyHttpModule;

        // Test for an error.
        if (!pModule)
        {
            // Return an error if the factory cannot create the instance.
            return HRESULT_FROM_WIN32( ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY );
        }
        else
        {
            // Return a pointer to the module.
            *ppModule = pModule;
            pModule = NULL;
            // Return a success status.
            return S_OK;
        }

    void Terminate()
    {

        delete this;
