ServeFile method
Serves file through integrated web server.
Syntax
object.ServeFile (Filename, MaxConn)
The ServeFile(object,Filename,MaxConn) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type wodXMPP |
| Filename | A String value. Full path to the file that will be sent. |
| MaxConn | A Long value. Defines maximum number of connections to accept. |
Remarks
ServeFile method will open up internal web server to serve your file to other contacts. It is used internally for sending files if remote contact doesn't support file transfers, but prefers to get file using provided URL. ServeFile method will create this URL and start serving the file, allowing up to MaxConn total number of connections. When total number of connections has been made, file will be removed from the collection.
You can provide URL of returned file to other contacts, just provide them with correct
DataIP address and port (stored in
DataPort). You can provide any IP of your computer, since ServeFile will bind all adapters.
Return value of ServeFile method is newly created
XMPPFile object, where you can set up other properties, or access them if needed, at later time.
If you want to provide unlimited number of connections in M
axConn argument, set it to -1.
