S.servletRequest is empty

[Joachim A.]

Hi,
I was using S.hostAndPath and was surprised that it didn't include the
protocoll and path.
I've found out that S.servletRequest returns Empty here.

The method is called by in an actor.
Is some special initialisation necessary for this setup?

Thanks,
Joachim

The Actor code is outside of the HTTP request/response cycle, so there's no way to access the request information from the Actor.

 

Thanks,
Joachim

Correct. Next time I'll think a little bit longer :)
I'll find another solution, either by configuration setting or by asking my
user's comet actor (still need to check if that works).

Thanks,

Correct. Next time I'll think a little bit longer :)

I'd stuff the information in a SessionVar so it'll be accessible to the CometActor.

The CometActor does not have access to the HTTP information, but it does have access to other state in S.
