Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ THttpServer()

THttpServer::THttpServer ( const char *  engine = "civetweb:8080")

constructor

As argument, one specifies engine kind which should be created like "http:8080". One could specify several engines at once, separating them with semicolon (";"). Following engines are supported:

  http - TCivetweb, civetweb-based implementation of http protocol
  fastcgi - TFastCgi, special protocol for communicating with web servers

For each created engine one should provide socket port number like "http:8080" or "fastcgi:9000". Additional engine-specific options can be supplied with URL syntax like "http:8080?thrds=10". Full list of supported options should be checked in engines docu.

One also can configure following options, separated by semicolon:

readonly, ro   - set read-only mode (default)
readwrite, rw  - allows methods execution of registered objects
global         - scans global ROOT lists for existing objects (default)
noglobal       - disable scan of global lists
cors           - enable CORS header with origin="*"
cors=domain    - enable CORS header with origin="domain"
basic_sniffer  - use basic sniffer without support of hist, gpad, graph classes

For example, create http server, which allows cors headers and disable scan of global lists, one should provide "http:8080;cors;noglobal" as parameter

THttpServer uses JavaScript ROOT (https://root.cern/js) to implement web clients UI. Normally JSROOT sources are used from $ROOTSYS/js directory, but one could set JSROOTSYS shell variable to specify alternative location

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddLocation()

void THttpServer::AddLocation ( const char *  prefix,
const char *  path 
)

add files location, which could be used in the server one could map some system folder to the server like AddLocation("mydir/","/home/user/specials"); Than files from this directory could be addressed via server like http://localhost:8080/mydir/myfile.root

Definition at line 277 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ CreateEngine()

Bool_t THttpServer::CreateEngine ( const char *  engine)

factory method to create different http engines At the moment two engine kinds are supported: civetweb (default) and fastcgi Examples: "http:8080" or "civetweb:8080" or ":8080" - creates civetweb web server with http port 8080 "fastcgi:9000" - creates fastcgi server with port 9000 One could apply additional parameters, using URL syntax: "http:8080?thrds=10"

◆ Register()

Bool_t THttpServer::Register ( const char *  subfolder,
TObject obj 
)

Register object in subfolder.

Register object in folders hierarchy.

See TRootSniffer::RegisterObject() for more details

Definition at line 980 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ RegisterCommand()

Bool_t THttpServer::RegisterCommand ( const char *  cmdname,
const char *  method,
const char *  icon = 0 
)

Register command which can be executed from web interface.

As method one typically specifies string, which is executed with gROOT->ProcessLine() method. For instance serv->RegisterCommand("Invoke","InvokeFunction()");

Or one could specify any method of the object which is already registered to the server. For instance: serv->Register("/", hpx); serv->RegisterCommand("/ResetHPX", "/hpx/->Reset()"); Here symbols '/->' separates item name from method to be executed

One could specify additional arguments in the command with syntax like arg1%, arg2% and so on. For example: serv->RegisterCommand("/ResetHPX", "/hpx/->SetTitle(\"%arg1%\")"); serv->RegisterCommand("/RebinHPXPY", "/hpxpy/->Rebin2D(%arg1%,%arg2%)"); Such parameter(s) will be requested when command clicked in the browser.

Once command is registered, one could specify icon which will appear in the browser: serv->SetIcon("/ResetHPX", "rootsys/icons/ed_execute.png");

One also can set extra property '_fastcmd', that command appear as tool button on the top of the browser tree: serv->SetItemField("/ResetHPX", "_fastcmd", "true"); Or it is equivalent to specifying extra argument when register command: serv->RegisterCommand("/ResetHPX", "/hpx/->Reset()", "button;rootsys/icons/ed_delete.png");

◆ RegisterWS()

void THttpServer::RegisterWS ( std::shared_ptr< THttpWSHandler ws)

◆ Restrict()

void THttpServer::Restrict ( const char *  path,
const char *  options

◆ SetCors()

void THttpServer::SetCors ( const std::string &  domain = "*")
inline

Enable CORS header to ProcessRequests() responses Specified location (typically "*") add as "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header.

Definition at line 97 of file THttpServer.h.

◆ SetDefaultPage()

void THttpServer::SetDefaultPage ( const std::string &  filename = "")

Set file name of HTML page, delivered by the server when http address is opened in the browser.

By default, $ROOTSYS/js/files/online.htm page is used When empty filename is specified, default page will be used

Definition at line 308 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetDrawPage()

void THttpServer::SetDrawPage ( const std::string &  filename = "")

Set file name of HTML page, delivered by the server when objects drawing page is requested from the browser By default, $ROOTSYS/js/files/draw.htm page is used When empty filename is specified, default page will be used.

Definition at line 325 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetIcon()

Bool_t THttpServer::SetIcon ( const char *  fullname,
const char *  iconname 
)

set name of icon, used in browser together with the item

One could use images from $ROOTSYS directory like: serv->SetIcon("/ResetHPX","/rootsys/icons/ed_execute.png");

Definition at line 1170 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetItemField()

Bool_t THttpServer::SetItemField ( const char *  fullname,
const char *  name,
const char *  value 
)

Definition at line 1184 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetJSROOT()

void THttpServer::SetJSROOT ( const char *  location)

Set location of JSROOT to use with the server One could specify address like: https://root.cern.ch/js/5.6.3/ http://jsroot.gsi.de/5.6.3/ This allows to get new JSROOT features with old server, reduce load on THttpServer instance, also startup time can be improved When empty string specified (default), local copy of JSROOT is used (distributed with ROOT)

Definition at line 297 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetReadOnly()

void THttpServer::SetReadOnly ( Bool_t  readonly)

Set read-only mode for the server (default on) In read-only server is not allowed to change any ROOT object, registered to the server Server also cannot execute objects method via exe.json request.

Definition at line 265 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetSniffer()

void THttpServer::SetSniffer ( TRootSniffer sniff)

Set TRootSniffer to the server Server takes ownership over sniffer.

Definition at line 236 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetTerminate()

void THttpServer::SetTerminate ( )

set termination flag, no any further requests will be processed

Set termination flag, No any further requests will be processed, server only can be destroyed afterwards.

Definition at line 247 of file THttpServer.cxx.

◆ SetTimer()

void THttpServer::SetTimer ( Long_t  milliSec = 100,
Bool_t  mode = kTRUE 
)

create timer which will invoke ProcessRequests() function periodically Timer is required to perform all actions in main ROOT thread Method arguments are the same as for TTimer constructor By default, sync timer with 100 ms period is created

It is recommended to always use sync timer mode and only change period to adjust server reaction time. Use of async timer requires, that application regularly calls gSystem->ProcessEvents(). It happens automatically in ROOT interactive shell. If milliSec == 0, no timer will be created. In this case application should regularly call ProcessRequests() method.

Async timer allows to use THttpServer in applications, which does not have explicit gSystem->ProcessEvents() calls. But be aware, that such timer can interrupt any system call (like malloc) and can lead to dead locks, especially in multi-threaded applications.

◆ SetTopName()

void THttpServer::SetTopName ( const char *  top)
inline

set name of top item in objects hierarchy

◆ StopServerThread()

void THttpServer::StopServerThread ( )
protected

◆ SubmitHttp()

Bool_t THttpServer::SubmitHttp ( std::shared_ptr< THttpCallArg arg,
Bool_t  can_run_immediately = kFALSE 
)

Submit HTTP request.

Submit http request, specified in THttpCallArg structure Contrary to ExecuteHttp, it will not block calling thread.

User should reimplement THttpCallArg::HttpReplied() method to react when HTTP request is executed. Method can be called from any thread Actual execution will be done in main ROOT thread, where analysis code is running. When called from main thread and can_run_immediately==kTRUE, will be executed immediately. Returns kTRUE when was executed.
