Daraja HTTP Framework 2.0 released

The Daraja HTTP Framework is a free open source library for Object Pascal (Free Pascal 3.0.4, Delphi 2009+), based on the stand-alone HTTP server component in Internet Direct (Indy).

The 2.0 release uses const parameters in the Handle method of the IHandler interface and its implementing classes.

old:
- procedure Handle(Target: string; Context: TdjServerContext; Request:
- TdjRequest; Response: TdjResponse);

new:
+ procedure Handle(const Target: string; Context: TdjServerContext; Request:
+ TdjRequest; Response: TdjResponse);

Note: this is a breaking change for code which declares custom handler implementations. Such code must now use a const parameter.

“Using const allows the compiler to optimize code for structured – and string-type parameters. It also provides a safeguard against unintentionally passing a parameter by reference to another routine.”
