This module contains some generic functions for getting the name and version of libwww. It also contains some global configuration options like if you can access the local file system, for example.

This module is implemented by HTAccess.c, and it is a part of the W3C Sample Code Library.

#ifndef HTLIB_H
#define HTLIB_H

#include "HTUser.h"

Initializing and Terminating the Library

These two functions initiates memory and settings for the Library core and cleans up memory kept by the core when about to exit the application. They  must be used!

extern BOOL HTLibInit (const char * AppName, const char * AppVersion);
extern BOOL HTLibTerminate (void);

Library Name and Version

You can get the generic name of the Library and the version by using the following functions:

extern const char * HTLib_name (void);
extern const char * HTLib_version (void);

Is the Library Initalized?

Returns YES or NO

extern BOOL HTLib_isInitialized (void);

Application Name and Version

Returns the name of the application and the version number that was passed to the HTLibInit() function.

extern const char * HTLib_appName (void);
extern const char * HTLib_appVersion (void);

Accessing the Local File System

The Library does normally use the local file system for dumping unknown data objects, file cache etc. In some situations this is not desired and we can therefore turn it off. This mode also prevents you from being able to access other resources where you have to log in telnet, for example.

extern BOOL HTLib_secure (void);
extern void HTLib_setSecure (BOOL mode);

Default User Profile

The default user profile is automatically created by the libwww in order to get information about the hostname, default email -address etc. All request objects will be created with this default user profile. The application may assign individual user profiles to every request object or may set the default user profile.

extern HTUserProfile * HTLib_userProfile (void);
extern BOOL HTLib_setUserProfile (HTUserProfile * up);

#endif /* HTLIB_H */
