QUARKXPRESS SERVER MANAGER
432 | A Guide to QuarkXPress Server 2017
QuarkXPress Server GET format joined by an ampersand (&) with the other
parameters in the body of the request.
qxpsm_bypassfileinfo: When QuarkXPress Server Manager receives a request,•
it executes a fileinfo request on the document to get the document’s size and
last-modified date and time. These values are used for load balancing and for
determining whether to serve the document from the cache. If the value of this
parameter is set to true, the
fileinfo request is not made, file size is considered
to be zero for load-balancing purposes, and the document in the cache is
considered to have changed.
qxpsm_context: Set this value if you need to use it in a custom load balancer.•
q
xpsm_maxtries
:
This parameter lets you specify a maximum number of retries
•
for a specific request. If this parameter is absent or set to 0, the global maximum
retries value is used. To disable maximum retries for a request, use the value –1.
qxpsm_password: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the•
“Admin Password” value when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server
instance.
qxpsm_responseasurl: By default, QuarkXPress Server Manager writes•
responses as temporary files in the cache folder and returns a URL to the client.
This approach prevents the performance degradation that can result from
sending binary data using SOAP. However, you might want QuarkXPress Server
Manager to return the response directly if you are creating an application that
processes that response (simple or multipart) with its own logic. To make
QuarkXPress Server Manager send a response to the browser rather than the URL
of the temporary files in the cache, set this value to false. (Note that setting this
value to false might result in decreased performance.)
qxpsm_responseredirect: If you use servlet methodology to send a request to•
QuarkXPress Server Manager with qxpsm_responseasurl=true, QuarkXPress
Server Manager returns a frameset page with one or more frames. If the response
is not multipart, the frameset contains a single page with a URL pointing to a
response file in the temporary cache. This can be problematic if, for example,
you want to use the returned URL as an image link in an HTML page. In such
situations, submit the request with both
qxpsm_responseredirect=true and
qxpsm_responseasurl=true. If you do this, QuarkXPress Server Manager
returns the URL of the rendered file in the temporary cache instead of returning
a frameset page. Note, however, that if the request results in a multipart response
(such as the response returned by the boxes parameter), QuarkXPress Server
Manager ignores the qxpsm_responseredirect=true parameter and returns
the frameset page.
qxpsm_servername: By default, the target QuarkXPress Server instance for each•
request is determined by the QuarkXPress Server Manager server’s load-balancing
system. To send a request to a specific QuarkXPress Server instance, set this
parameter to the name or IP address of that QuarkXPress Server instance. Note
that if you use this parameter with an IP address, you must also submit the port
number using the qxpsm_serverport parameter.
qxpsm_serverport: If you use the qxpsm_servername parameter with an IP•
address, supply the corresponding port number as this parameter’s value.
