Overriding TSQLHttpServer.Request method

Hello,

I am about to create a kind of proxy-service for a number of internal REST services, so this proxy would act as single entry point.

I determined i have to override TSQLHttpServer.Request method for that, is this approach feasible?

If so, i would need a client-side component to make a request to internal REST services and return the results to the caller.

Is there such a component in the framework? Any advice and sample code are greatly appreciated.

Thanx,
Eugene.

Re: Overriding TSQLHttpServer.Request method

I would rather combine the proxy at TSQLRestServer.URI level, not at HTTP level.

As i said i am completely new to the framework, so this says nothing to me actually...

Why would i better do it this way? What methods should i override etc?

Thanks.

Re: Overriding TSQLHttpServer.Request method

If you start from a shared /root/... URI, you can override TSQLRestServer.URI, or just define method-based services to do the redirect for the whole Ctxt.

If you want to handle several /root1/... /root2/.. and so on, then TSQLHttpServer.Request is where to override.

Re: Overriding TSQLHttpServer.Request method

This is exactly what i need and seems like i figured it out correctly.

I am using internal THttpClientSocket to communicate to end points. What is the proper flow of methods when working with it, should i call .Open first?

Basically i am trying to get the following code working in Request

    result := FClient.Get(vURL);
    Ctxt.OutContent := FClient.Content;
    Ctxt.OutContentType := FClient.ContentType;

But this is for GET method, should i use similar structures for others?

When i connect to end point in browser it opens up auth dialog so i can supply username/password.

Are these being usually handled in PUT? Sorry this is not essentially a framework questions, but rather HTTP-related in general....

Thanx alot.
