libdill: Structured Concurrency for C

NAME

http_detach - terminates HTTP protocol and returns the underlying socket

SYNOPSIS

#include <libdill.h>

int http_detach(
    int s,
    int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION

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 does the terminal handshake and returns underlying socket to the user. The socket is closed even in the case of error.

s: Handle of the SUFFIX socket.

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

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

ERRORS

EBADF: Invalid handle.
ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.
ECONNRESET: Broken connection.
ENOTSUP: The handle is not an HTTP protocol handle.
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);
