HTTP_SENDREQUEST(3) libdill Library Functions HTTP_SENDREQUEST(3)

http_sendrequest - sends initial HTTP request


#include <libdill.h>
int http_sendrequest(
    int s,
    const char* command,
    const char* resource,
    int64_t deadline);

    

WARNING: This is experimental functionality and the API may change in the future.

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 sends an initial HTTP request with the specified command and resource. For example, if command is GET and resource is /index.html the line sent will look like this:


GET /index.html HTTP/1.1

    

s: HTTP socket handle.

command: HTTP command, such as GET.

resource: HTTP resource, such as /index.html.

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.

In case of success the function returns 0. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below.

EBADF: Invalid handle.
ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.
ECONNRESET: Broken connection.
EINVAL: Invalid argument.
ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.
ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.
