  • Development Hints
    Some hints for problems you may encounter developing a connector:-
     
    • Make sure the HTTP Content-Type header is set to text/xml
      for all commands expecting an XML response. The only
      command that does not expect an XML response is the
      FileUpload command, this expects an HTML response
      (dont forget to include all the HTML preamble in
      the response <html><head>... etc.)
       
    • Make sure the HTTP Cache-Control header is set to no-cache
      This prevents the browser from caching connector responses.
       
    • If errors are allowed to escape into the output stream
      this will result in client side problems, try to send
      all server side errors to a debug file rather than
      outputting them.
       
    • The url attribute of the CurrentFolder element in XML output
      should always include a user definable prefix to allow for
      the http://sitename.etc to added.
       
    • The path and url attribute of XML output must end in a /
