IHttpResponse::GetStatus Method

 

Retrieves the HTTP status for the response.

Syntax

virtual VOID GetStatus(  
   OUT USHORT * pStatusCode,  
   OUT USHORT * pSubStatus = NULL,  
   OUT PCSTR * ppszReason = NULL,  
   OUT USHORT * pcchReason = NULL,  
   OUT HRESULT * phrErrorToReport = NULL,  
   OUT PCWSTR * ppszModule = NULL,  
   OUT DWORD * pdwNotification = NULL,  
   OUT INativeSectionException ** ppException = NULL  
) = 0;  

Parameters

pStatusCode
[OUT] A pointer to an unsigned short integer that receives the HTTP status code for the response.

pSubStatus
[OUT] A pointer to an unsigned short integer that receives the HTTP substatus code for the response.

ppszReason
[OUT] A pointer to a string that receives the HTTP status text for the response.

pcchReason
[OUT] A pointer to an unsigned short integer that receives the length, in characters, of the response status string.

phrErrorToReport
[OUT] A pointer to an HRESULT that receives the Win32 error associated with the response status.

ppszModule
[OUT] A pointer to a string that receives the name of the module that set the status.

pdwNotification
[OUT] A pointer to a DWORD that receives the notification during which the error status was set.

ppException
[OUT] A pointer to an INativeSectionException interface that is associated with this status.

Return Value

VOID.

Remarks

The GetStatus method returns the complete HTTP response status, which consists of the status code, the substatus code, the status text, and—if an error exists—the Win32 error associated with the response status.

Note

The response status string is in a server-owned buffer.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetStatus method to create an HTTP module that retrieves the HTTP response status. The example module returns the contents of the HTTP response status to the client, and it calls the IHttpResponse::SetStatus method to set the response status to "200 OK" so the client will always receive the result.

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>

#include <httpserv.h>

        IHttpResponse * pHttpResponse = pHttpContext->GetResponse();

        // Test for an error.
        if (pHttpResponse != NULL)

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.
