Detailed Description

class for HTTP connections; returns Qore::HTTPClient objects

supports the following options:

  • "assume_encoding": assumes the given encoding if the server does not send a charset value
  • "connect_timeout": connection timeout to use in milliseconds (default: 45 seconds)
  • "error_passthru": if True then HTTP status codes indicating errors will not cause an HTTP-CLIENT-RECEIVE-ERROR exception to be raised, rather such responses will be passed through to the caller like any other response
  • "http_version": HTTP version to use ("1.0" or "1.1", defaults to "1.1")
  • "max_redirects": maximum redirects to support
  • "proxy": proxy URL to use
  • "redirect_passthru": if True then redirect responses will be passed to the caller instead of processed
  • "ssl_cert_path": a path to an X.509 client certificate file in PEM format
  • "ssl_key_path": a path to a private key file in PEM format for the X.509 client certificate
  • "ssl_key_password": the password to the private key given with "ssl_key_path"
  • "ssl_verify_cert": if True then the server's certificate will only be accepted if it's verified
  • "timeout": transfer timeout to use in milliseconds (default: 45 seconds)

Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor()

ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::constructor ( string  name,
string  desc,
string  url,
hash< auto >  attributes = {},
hash< auto >  options = {} 
)

creates the HttpConnection object

Parameters
namethe name of the connection
descconnection description
urlconnection URL (potentially with password info)
attributesvarious attributes. See below
optionsconnection options

See AbstractConnection::constructor() for attributes and options reference.

Exceptions
CONNECTION-OPTION-ERRORmissing or invalid connection option

◆ getImpl()

Qore::HTTPClient ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::getImpl ( bool  connect = True,
*hash< auto >  rtopts 
)
privatevirtual

returns an Qore::HTTPClient object

Parameters
connectif True then a connection is made by calling Qore::HTTPClient::connect() before returning the object
rtoptsthis connection type does not accept any runtime option, so this parameter is ignored

Implements ConnectionProvider::AbstractConnection.
