Retrieves the physical path for the current request.
virtual PCWSTR GetPhysicalPath(
) const = 0; This method takes no parameters.
A pointer to a string that contains the physical path.
The GetPhysicalPath method retrieves the path for the current request when an HTTP module is processing the CHttpModule::OnMapPath event.
Note
The path that is returned by the GetPhysicalPath method is not translated to the physical path that provides the actual response. For example, if the default home page for a Web site is Default.asp, a request to http://example.com/ will return C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot, and not C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Default.asp.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetPhysicalPath method to create an HTTP module that retrieves the physical path for the current request and returns the path to a Web client.

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.
