NAME

SYNOPSIS

#include <libdill.h>
int http_recvstatus(
    int s,
    char* reason,
    size_t reasonlen,
    int64_t deadline);

    

DESCRIPTION

HTTP is an application-level protocol described in RFC 7230. This implementation handles only the request/response exchange. Whatever comes after that must be handled by a different protocol.

This function receives an HTTP status line from the peer.

s: HTTP socket handle.

reason: Buffer to store reason string in.

reasonlen: Size of the reason buffer.

deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in milliseconds. Use the now function to get your current point in time. 0 means immediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return without blocking if not. -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever if the operation cannot be performed.

This function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sockets option.

RETURN VALUE

ERRORS

•

EBADF: Invalid handle.

•

ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

•

ECONNRESET: Broken connection.

•

EINVAL: Invalid argument.

•

EMSGSIZE: The data won't fit into the supplied buffer.

•

ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

•

ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE

int s = tcp_connect(&addr, -1);
s = http_attach(s);
http_sendrequest(s, "GET", "/", -1);
http_sendfield(s, "Host", "www.example.org", -1);
http_done(s, -1);
char reason[256];
http_recvstatus(s, reason, sizeof(reason), -1);
while(1) {
    char name[256];
    char value[256];
    int rc = http_recvfield(s, name, sizeof(name), value, sizeof(value), -1);
    if(rc == -1 && errno == EPIPE) break;
}
s = http_detach(s, -1);
tcp_close(s);
