Indy TIdHTTP worker events [Edit]
I'm using the Indy tIdHTTP component on a form and have defined the OnWorkBegin, OnWork, OnWorkEnd events
I've used this code in C++Builder XE2 and Indy 10.5.8.0. and it worked just fine but in XE8, Indy 10.6.2.5263. all the 'worker' events are fired when IdHTTP1->Get(URL, pFStream)
is completed. All Events are "piled up" and fired sequentially after Get() is completed.
{code}
{
.....
FileName = fl.GetFolderPath(&FOLDERID_InternetCache) + "myfile.exe";
pFStream = new TFileStream(FileName, fmCreate);
IdHTTP1->Get(URL, pFStream);
delete pFStream;
....
}
void __fastcall TFormSettings::IdHTTP1WorkBegin(TObject *ASender, TWorkMode AWorkMode, __int64 AWorkCountMax)
{
ProgressBar1->Max = AWorkCountMax;
ProgressBar1->Position = 0;
ProgressBar1->Visible = true;
LabelDownload->Visible = true;
Update();
}
void __fastcall TFormSettings::IdHTTP1Work(TObject *ASender, TWorkMode AWorkMode, __int64 AWorkCount)
{
ProgressBar1->Position = AWorkCount;
Update();
}
void __fastcall TFormSettings::IdHTTP1WorkEnd(TObject *ASender, TWorkMode AWorkMode)
{
ProgressBar1->Visible = false;
LabelDownload->Visible = false;
}
{code}
What can be the cause of this behaviour?
I'm running just 1 thread.
Thanks in advance,
René

That is physically impossible, in any version of Indy, as the OnWork... events
are triggered inside of Get() itself while it is reading/writing blocks of
data. It is not possible for the events to trigger after Get() has exited.
What is actually happening is that your UI updates are getting backed up
instead, not that the OnWork... events are getting backed up.
> All Events are "piled up" and fired sequentially after Get() is completed.
The events are triggered in the same thread context that is calling TIdHTTP.Get().
If you are calling Get() in the main UI thread, it is going to block the
main message loop from processing new messages, unless you have a TIdAntiFreeze
component on the Form. What you are seeing happen is your UI updates are
getting stuck in the message queue and not being processed until after Get()
has exited and returned control to the main message loop. You are calling
the Form's Update() method, but all that is going to do is process pending
paint messages, not all pending messages. A themed progress bar, for instance,
runs a timer internally to update its drawing state smoothly, and Update()
will not process/dispatch those timer messages, but TIdAntiFreeze would.

FYI, if Get() fails, an exception is raised, which you are not catching,
so you would leak the TFileStream object and its associated file handle.
You need to add an exception handler:
{code}
pFStream = new TFileStream(FileName, fmCreate);
try
{
try
{
IdHTTP1->Get(URL, pFStream);
}
__finally
{
delete pFStream;
}
}
catch(const Exception&)
{
DeleteFile(FileName);
//...
}
{code}
> void __fastcall TFormSettings::IdHTTP1WorkBegin(TObject *ASender,
> TWorkMode AWorkMode, __int64 AWorkCountMax)
> {
> ProgressBar1->Max = AWorkCountMax;
Keep in mind that:
1. AWorkCountMax will be 0 if TIdHTTP does not know the size of the file
being sent, either because the data is being sent using the "chunked" transfer
encoding, or because the server ends the file by closing the socket.
2. You should check the AWorkMode parameter and only do your logic if the
mode is wmRead and not wmWrite.
> void __fastcall TFormSettings::IdHTTP1Work(TObject *ASender, TWorkMode
> AWorkMode, __int64 AWorkCount)
> {
> ProgressBar1->Position = AWorkCount;
If the Max is set to 0, setting the Position is useless. Also, same thing
about checking the AWorkMode parameter.

Do you mean you are running the TIdHTTP in its own worker thread? Or in
the main UI thread? It makes a big difference.
If you are running TIdHTTP in the main thread, you need to either use TIdAntiFreeze
or move TIdHTTP to a worker thread to unblock the main thread.
If you are running TIdHTTP in a worker thread, the OnWork... handlers you
have shown are not thread-safe, you need to sync with the main thread to
perform UI updates safely.

Yes I'm running just the main UI thread. After I've incorporated the TIdAntiFreeze component Window messages are beeing serviced again by my application, but a 'HTTP worker' event still isn't fired while Get() is working... René

The OnWork... events are not message-based, they are direct calls made inside the I/O functions. Read a block of data, call OnWork, read a block of data, call OnWork, and so on. You can verify that for yourself using the debugger, or via a real-time logging solution, such as OutputDebugString(), CodeSite, etc. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

aborting a new event/edit event dialog
[In case this matters, I'm using Lightning + WCAP.] Currently when you use new event / edit event, you are presented with a dialog box with no way out. The only button is "Save".
