thinBasicCGI.config file

 

thinBasicCGI.config is the global configuration file for CGI.

It is loaded from the thinBasic root folder.

 

User can override standard configuration parameters in 2 way:

•loading another configuration file with the CGI_LoadConfigFile function

•using a CGI_CfgSetOption at the script runtime.

 

If the configuration file could not be found the CGI system initializes all options with default values.

 

Also CGI_ResetDefaultSettings function resets all options to the system default values.

 

thinBasicCGI.config uses a standard XML structure.

Here is a typical example:

 

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<config>

<acceptfileupload>1</acceptfileupload>

<autoaddspecialcharsprefix>1</autoaddspecialcharsprefix>

<autocreatevars>1</autocreatevars>

<bufferizeoutput>0</bufferizeoutput>

<fileuploadbasepath>.\Upload\</fileuploadbasepath>

<forcesessionvalidation>0</forcesessionvalidation>

<maxbytefromstdin>102400000</maxbytefromstdin>

<sessionfilebasepath>.\Sessions\</sessionfilebasepath>

<specialcharsprefix>\</specialcharsprefix>

<temporaryuploadpath>.\Temp\</temporaryuploadpath>

<uploadcanoverwrite>1</uploadcanoverwrite>

<writelogfile>1</writelogfile>

<writevarsintologfile>0</writevarsintologfile>

</config>
