Hi, I have been investigating this API (primarily the transformation class) to see whether it could be used rather than the lower level functions.
I have a few questions. 1. Is this API ready for production use? I.e. is it still being updated regularly and will the interface change? 2. The TransformationPlugin class seems to be designed to handle small uploads and downloads. I assume this because although the consume method provides a buffer which you can store how you wish, the produce method has to be provided with all the data in one go in the handleInputComplete method. I modified to the class source to expose the writeReady functionality and this solved the problem. Now I can call produce when the writeReady method is called. I also had to modify the code so the post data was not stored internally and to always set the total length of the output buffer when calling TSVConnWrite. Am I correct about this class being designed for small buffers? Do the changes I have describe make sense and would it be worth updating the class with them? I cannot easily add this functionality to my derived TransformationPlugin as the handleTransformationPluginEvents function in the TransformationPlugin code is not overridable (as it is not in the class) and this is where events are handled. 3. I am using this class to send data to an engine to scan it - this can take some time. There did not seem to be a way of, after buffering all the data (in handleInputComplete), to start producing data at a later stage. I modified the source to allow the scheduling of an immediate event and then exposed the immediate event handler. So then after the engine has scanned the data (in a different thread) an immediate event is scheduled and then in the event handler data is produced. Do these changes make sense? Again I cannot easily add this functionality to my derived TransformationPlugin as the handleTransformationPluginEvents function in the TransformationPlugin code is not overridable (as it is not in the class) and this is where events are handled. So to summarise I am asking whether it is sensible to use the TransformationPlugin, modify it and get the changes back into the main source line or maybe to use the ideas from it and write my own one. Thank-you.
