CHttpServer::GetClientDirectory Method  
 
INT GetClientDirectory(
  UINT nClientId,  
  LPTSTR lpszDirectory,  
  INT nMaxLength  
);
INT GetClientDirectory(
  UINT nClientId,  
  CString& strDirectory  
);

Returns the root document directory for the specified client session.

Parameters

nClientId
An unsigned integer which uniquely identifies the client session.
lpszDirectory
A pointer to a string buffer that will contain the root document directory for the specified client session, terminated with a null character. This buffer should be at least MAX_PATH characters in length. This parameter cannot be NULL. An alternate version of this method accepts a CString object if it is available.
nMaxLength
An integer value that specifies the maximum number of characters that can be copied into the string buffer, including the terminating null character. This value must be larger than zero or the method will fail.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, the return value is the number of characters copied into the string buffer, not including the terminating null character. If the client ID does not specify a valid client session, the method will return zero.

Remarks

This method returns the full path to the root document directory for the specified client session. If no virtual hosts have been configured, then this value will be the same as the root directory assigned to the server when it was started. If the server has been configured with multiple virtual hosts, this function will return the path to the root directory associated with the hostname provided by the client.

To convert a full path to the virtual path for a specific client session, use the GetClientVirtualPath method.
