[AOLSERVER] requests question

[Xavier Bourguignon]

Hi

I want to call a procedure everytime a request starts and another proc
everytime a request ends.
Is this possible? If so how or where do I do that?

Thank you

The command you are seeking is ns_register_filter (see
http://aolserver.com/docs/devel/tcl/api/general.html#ns_register_filter).
Use either a preauth filter to call a procedure at the beginning of
the request and a trace filter to call one at the end of the request.

Excellent, thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for.

As a minor suggestion, be organized in where you create filters for your pages so that you can locate those calls later (and find any/all filters you've registered). If I recall correctly, there's no way to get a list of registered filters... which can make debugging later difficult.

Ok thanks, I keep all of them in one file only, so I should be fine on that one.

Hi Xavier,

I know this is 9 years old, but it should still be of some use in familiarising yourself with some of AOLserver's functionality. It certainly was for me and I think much of it is still true.
