IHttpServer::ReportUnhealthy Method

Article
05/24/2022

Reports the worker process as unhealthy.

Syntax

virtual VOID ReportUnhealthy(  
   IN PCWSTR pszReasonString,  
   IN HRESULT hrReason  
) = 0;

Parameters

pszReasonString
[IN] A pointer to a string that contains the cause of the unhealthy status.

hrReason
[IN] An HRESULT that contains the error condition for the unhealthy status.

Return Value

VOID.

Remarks

Developers can use the ReportUnhealthy method to notify IIS that a problem has occurred, and IIS will automatically call IWpfActions::FailWorkerProcess to shut down the worker process.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ReportUnhealthy method to create an HTTP module that reports an out-of-memory error and then exits.

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>
#include <sal.h>
#include <httpserv.h>

// Create a pointer for the global server interface.
IHttpServer * g_pHttpServer = NULL;

// Create the module class.
class MyHttpModule : public CHttpModule
{
public:
    REQUEST_NOTIFICATION_STATUS
    OnSendResponse(
        IN IHttpContext * pHttpContext,
        IN ISendResponseProvider * pProvider
    )
    {
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pHttpContext );
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pProvider );

        // Test for an error.
        if (NULL != g_pHttpServer)
        {
            // Report the worker process as unhealthy.
            g_pHttpServer->ReportUnhealthy(
                L"Out of memory.",
                HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY));
        }

        // Return processing to the pipeline.
        return RQ_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE;
    }
};

// Create the module's class factory.
class MyHttpModuleFactory : public IHttpModuleFactory
{
public:
    HRESULT
    GetHttpModule(
        OUT CHttpModule ** ppModule, 
        IN IModuleAllocator * pAllocator
    )
    {
        UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pAllocator );

        // Create a new instance.
        MyHttpModule * pModule = new MyHttpModule;

        // Test for an error.
        if (!pModule)
        {
            // Return an error if the factory cannot create the instance.
            return HRESULT_FROM_WIN32( ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY );
        }
        else
        {
            // Return a pointer to the module.
            *ppModule = pModule;
            pModule = NULL;
            // Return a success status.
            return S_OK;
        }            
    }

    void Terminate()
    {
        // Remove the class from memory.
        delete this;
    }
};

// Create the module's exported registration function.
HRESULT
__stdcall
RegisterModule(
    DWORD dwServerVersion,
    IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo * pModuleInfo,
    IHttpServer * pGlobalInfo
)
{
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( dwServerVersion );

    // Store the pointer for the global server interface.
    g_pHttpServer = pGlobalInfo;

    // Set the request notifications and exit.
    return pModuleInfo->SetRequestNotifications(
        new MyHttpModuleFactory,
        RQ_SEND_RESPONSE,
        0
    );
}

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
