Detailed Description

HTTP/1.1 client protocol.

This class implements a small subset of the HTTP/1.1 client protocol. A connection will be made to the given hostname/port. When the connection is ready for a new HTTP request, the owner task's method newRequest(HttpClientConnection *conn) will be called. To use this class, you must derive from HttpClientTask and implement the newRequest method to perform HTTP requests over the HttpClientConnection.

A call to the owner task's headerComplete will be made when response headers are read. If headerComplete returns false the connection will be dropped.

Within headerComplete you may call conn->doStreamResponse() if you want the respone to be "streamed" to you, i.e. to be notified (by a call to the owner task's payload method) whenever a part of the response arrives. The default is for this class to buffer the response and only notify the ower task when the complete response has been received.

A call to the owner task's requestComplete will be made when the complete response has been read. If requestComplete returns false the connection will be dropped. Otherwise, the newRequest will be called again so that a new HTTP request can be made. Within requestComplete, you can call contents() to get the HTTP response unless doStreamResponse() was called before.

Member Function Documentation

◆ cacheLabel()

std::string HttpClientConnection::cacheLabel ( )
overridevirtual

Return the socket's cache group, or an empty string.

By default, if we have a keepalive (cached) connection to the same host and port, it will be used instead of creating a new connection. Override this method to disable keepalive (returning empty string) or to use only a special type of cached connection (returning a label for that special type).

Reimplemented from Socket.

◆ connected()

PollState HttpClientConnection::connected ( )
finalvirtual

Will be called when the connection is established.

Override it to start sending data when the connection is ready.

If a connection couldn't be established, SocketConnection::connectionFailed will be called instead. You must not return PollState::CONNECTING.

Reimplemented from SocketConnection.

◆ doStreamResponse()

void HttpClientConnection::doStreamResponse ( )
inline

The owner task should call this in the header_complete callback if it wants to get partial contents immediately when it arrives. The default is for this class to buffer the response and pass it to the owner task when the complete response has arrived.

◆ httpStatus()

unsigned int HttpClientConnection::httpStatus ( ) const
inline

The owner task may call the below functions in the header_complete callback or the response_complete callback.

◆ pass()

void HttpClientConnection::pass ( )
inline

Call in the newRequest callback if you want to keep the connection but not do any new request at this time.

◆ post() [1/2]

void HttpClientConnection::post ( const std::string &  url,
const std::string &  data 
)

May be called in the newRequest callback: If data is very large, you should use the above method instead.

◆ post() [2/2]

void HttpClientConnection::post ( const std::string &  url,
size_t  len 
)

May be called in the newRequest callback: The owner task's doPost method will be called repeatedly until it returns false, which means there is no more data to post.

◆ readData()

PollState HttpClientConnection::readData ( char *  ,
size_t   
)
finalvirtual

Callback, called when data has arrived; len > 0.

May be called in states READ, READ_WRITE. Override this method to handle the data. Return value should be the new state.

The buffer is owned by the implementation. However, you are allowed to modify the contents of the buffer and you may also use it in the asyncSendData call.

Reimplemented from SocketConnection.
