Function documentation

THttpServer(const char* engine = "civetweb:8080")
 constructor
~THttpServer()
 destructor
 delete all http engines and sniffer
void SetSniffer(TRootSniffer* sniff)
 Set TRootSniffer to the server
 Server takes ownership over sniffer
Bool_t IsReadOnly() const
 returns read-only mode
void 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
void 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
void SetJSROOT(const char* location)
 Set location of JSROOT to use with the server
 One could specify address like:
   https://root.cern.ch/js/3.3
   http://web-docs.gsi.de/~linev/js/3.3
 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)
void SetDefaultPage(const char* filename)
 Set file name of HTML page, delivered by the server when
 http address is opened in the browser.
 By default, $ROOTSYS/etc/http/files/online.htm page is used
 When empty filename is specified, default page will be used
void SetDrawPage(const char* filename)
 Set file name of HTML page, delivered by the server when
 objects drawing page is requested from the browser
 By default, $ROOTSYS/etc/http/files/draw.htm page is used
 When empty filename is specified, default page will be used
Bool_t CreateEngine(const char* engine)
 factory method to create different http engines
 At the moment two engine kinds are supported:
  civetweb (default) and fastcgi
 Examples:
   "civetweb:8080" or "http:8080" or ":8080" - creates civetweb web server with http port 8080
   "fastcgi:9000" - creates fastcgi server with port 9000
   "dabc:1237"    - create DABC server with port 1237 (only available with DABC installed)
   "dabc:master_host:port" - attach to DABC master, running on master_host:port (only available with DABC installed)
void 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

 If milliSec == 0, no timer will be created.
 In this case application should regularly call ProcessRequests() method.
Bool_t VerifyFilePath(const char* fname)
 Checked that filename does not contains relative path below current directory
 Used to prevent access to files below current directory
Bool_t IsFileRequested(const char* uri, TString& res) const
 Verifies that request is just file name
 File names typically contains prefix like "jsrootsys/"
 If true, method returns real name of the file,
 which should be delivered to the client
 Method is thread safe and can be called from any thread
Bool_t ExecuteHttp(THttpCallArg* arg)
 Executes http request, specified in THttpCallArg structure
 Method can be called from any thread
 Actual execution will be done in main ROOT thread, where analysis code is running.
void ProcessRequests()
 Process requests, submitted for execution
 Regularly invoked by THttpTimer, when somewhere in the code
 gSystem->ProcessEvents() is called.
 User can call serv->ProcessRequests() directly, but only from main analysis thread.
void ProcessRequest(THttpCallArg* arg)
 Process single http request
 Depending from requested path and filename different actions will be performed.
 In most cases information is provided by TRootSniffer class
Bool_t Register(const char* subfolder, TObject* obj)
 Register object in folders hierarchy

 See TRootSniffer::RegisterObject() for more details
Bool_t Unregister(TObject* obj)
 Unregister object in folders hierarchy

 See TRootSniffer::UnregisterObject() for more details
void Restrict(const char* path, const char* options)
 Restrict access to specified object

 See TRootSniffer::Restrict() for more details
Bool_t 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");
Bool_t Hide(const char* fullname, Bool_t hide = kTRUE)
 hides folder or element from web gui
Bool_t 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");
Bool_t CreateItem(const char* fullname, const char* title)
Bool_t SetItemField(const char* fullname, const char* name, const char* value)
const char * GetItemField(const char* fullname, const char* name)
const char * GetMimeType(const char* path)
 Returns MIME type base on file extension
char * ReadFileContent(const char* filename, Int_t& len)
 reads file content
THttpServer(const char* engine = "civetweb:8080")
TRootSniffer * GetSniffer() const
 returns pointer on objects sniffer
void SetTopName(const char* top)
 set name of top item in objects hierarchy
const char * GetTopName() const
 returns name of top item in objects hierarchy
