30 The HTTP API

Functions that return an object also have a callback version. Callback functions let other

functions execute while the web server processes an HTTP request. This capability is useful if

you are making multiple HTTP requests from Dreamweaver. The callback version of a

function passes its ID and return value directly to the function that is specified as its first

argument.

The HTTP API

This section details the functions that are methods of the MMHttp object.

MMHttp.clearServerScriptsFolder()

Availability

Dreamweaver MX.

Description

Deletes the _mmServerScripts folder—and all its files—under the root folder for the current

site, which can be local or remote. The _mmServerScripts folder is located in Configuration/

Connections/Scripts/

server-model/_mmDBScripts folder.

Arguments

serverScriptsfolder

■ The serverScriptsfolder argument is a string that names a particular folder, relative to

the Configuration folder on the application server, from which you want to retrieve and

clear server scripts.

Returns

An object that represents the reply from the server. The data property of this object is a string

that contains the contents of the deleted scripts. If an error occurs, Dreamweaver reports it in

the

statusCode property of the returned object.

Example

The following code, in a menu command file inside the Configuration/Menus folder, removes

all the files from the _mmServerScripts folder when it is called from a menu:

<html>

<head>

<TITLE>Clear Server Scripts</TITLE>
