Ability to have custom http request handler

[dzorya]

Is it possible to have a custom http request handler in addition to webui_set_file_handler?
So it would be possible to process all requests types like POST, DELETE, etc... ?
This way it should be possible to use other frameworks (HTMX as example) to render UI in addition to calling functions over websocket.

Is POST, DELETE... are not routed to webui_set_file_handler right now?

I thought this if: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/ead99700e99d25500f8a4a4b5ca9efcc6f28b47d/src/webui.c#L7854 would prevent it. I guess, I should test it. пн, 26 авг. 2024 г., 22:10 Showns ***@***.***>:

Probably you are right. You can try:

if (strcmp(ri->request_method, "GET") == 0 || 
    strcmp(ri->request_method, "POST") == 0 ||
    strcmp(ri->request_method, "PUT") == 0 ||
    strcmp(ri->request_method, "DELETE") == 0 ||
    strcmp(ri->request_method, "PATCH") == 0)
{
    // ...
}

If this worked for you, and all the C examples still working, then you can create a PR. Thank you.

But webui_set_file_handler doesn't receive method or reqest data just url. We would need a new handler function for this, wouldn't we? вт, 27 авг. 2024 г., 00:21 Showns ***@***.***>:

Yes, only the URLs, I guess the solution is to use a custom web server (apache, python server, nginx...)
See this example: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/tree/main/examples/C/custom_web_server

Thank you! This is exactly what I need.
