nng_http_conn_transact(3http)
NAME
nng_http_conn_transact - perform one HTTP transaction on connection
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The nng_http_conn_transact()
function is used to perform a complete
HTTP exchange over the connection conn, sending the request req
(and attached body data) to the remote server, and reading the response
res.
The entire response is read, including any associated body, which can
subsequently be obtained using
nng_http_res_get_data()
.
This function is intended to make creation of client applications easier, by performing multiple asynchronous operations required to complete an entire HTTP transaction.
If an error occurs, the caller should close conn with
nng_http_conn_close()
, as it may not
necessarily be usable with other transactions.
A similar function,
nng_http_client_transact()
,
exists.
That function behaves similarily, but creates a connection on demand
for the transaction, and disposes of it when finished.
If the remote server tries to send an extremely large buffer, then a corresponding allocation will be made, which can lead to denial of service attacks. Client applications should take care to use this only with reasonably trust-worthy servers. |
A given connection conn should be used with only one operation or transaction at a time as HTTP/1.1 has no support for request interleaving. |
This function returns immediately, with no return value.
Completion of the operation is signaled via the aio, and the final result
may be obtained via nng_aio_result()
.
That result will either be zero or an error code.
RETURN VALUES
None.
ERRORS
NNG_ECANCELED
|
The operation was canceled. |
NNG_ECLOSED

NNG_ENOMEM
|
Insufficient free memory to perform the operation. |
NNG_ENOTSUP
|
HTTP operations are not supported. |
NNG_EPROTO
|
An HTTP protocol error occurred. |
NNG_ETIMEDOUT
|
Timeout waiting for data from the connection. |
