<description>
<p>This module defines the API - Erlang Server Interface (ESI).
Which is a more efficient way of writing erlang scripts
for your Inets web server than writing them as common CGI scripts.</p>
</description>
<funcs>
<func>
<name>deliver(SessionID, Data) -> ok | {error, Reason}</name>
<fsummary>Sends Data back to client.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>SessionID = term()</v>
<v>Data = string() | io_list()</v>
<v>Reason = term()</v>

<marker id="deliver"></marker>
<p>This function is <em>only</em> intended to be used from
functions called by the Erl Scheme interface to deliver
parts of the content to the user.</p>
<p>Sends data from a Erl Scheme script back to the client.</p>
<note><p>Note
that if any HTTP-header fields should be added by the
script they must be in the first call to deliver/2 and the
data in the call must be a string. Do not
assume anything about the data type of SessionID, the
SessionID must be the value given as input to the esi
call back function that you implemented.</p></note>

<section>
<title>ESI Callback Functions</title>
</section>
<funcs>
<func>
<name>Module:Function(SessionID, Env, Input)-> _ </name>
<fsummary>Creates a dynamic web page and returns it chunk by chunk to the server process by calling mod_esi:deliver/2.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>SessionID = term()</v>
<v>Env = [EnvironmentDirectives] ++ ParsedHeader</v>
<v>EnvironmentDirectives = {Key,Value}</v>
<v>Key = query_string | content_length | server_software | gateway_interface | server_protocol | server_port | request_method | remote_addr | script_name</v>
<v>Input = string()</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>The <c>Module</c> must be found in the code path and export
<c>Function</c> with an arity of two. An erlScriptAlias must
also be set up in the configuration file for the Web server.</p>
<p>If the HTTP request is a post request and a body is sent
then content_length will be the length of the posted
data. If get is used query_string will be the data after
<em>?</em> in the url.</p>
<p>ParsedHeader is the HTTP request as a key value tuple
list. The keys in parsed header will be the in lower case.</p>
<p>SessionID is a identifier
the server use when <c>deliver/2</c> is called, do not
assume any-thing about the datatype.</p>
<p>Use this callback function to dynamically generate dynamic web
content. when a part of the page is generated send the
data back to the client through <c>deliver/2</c>. Note
that the first chunk of data sent to the client must at
least contain all HTTP header fields that the response
will generate. If the first chunk not contains
<em>End of HTTP header</em> that is <c>"\r\n\r\n"</c>
the server will
assume that no HTTP header fields will be generated.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>Module:Function(Env, Input)-> Response </name>
<fsummary>Creates a dynamic web page and return it as a list. This functions is deprecated and only kept for backwards compatibility.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Env = [EnvironmentDirectives] ++ ParsedHeader</v>
<v>EnvironmentDirectives = {Key,Value}</v>
<v>Key = query_string | content_length | server_software | gateway_interface | server_protocol | server_port | request_method | remote_addr | script_name. <v>Input = string()</v>
<v>Response = string()</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This callback format consumes quite much memory since the
whole response must be generated before it is sent to the
user. This functions is deprecated and only keept for backwards
compatibility.
For new development Module:Function/3 should be used.</p>
