Detailed Description

class for HTTP connections; returns Qore::HTTPClient objects

supports the following options:

• "connect_timeout": connection timeout to use in milliseconds (default: 45 seconds)
• "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
• "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)

See also

HTTPClient::constructor(hash opts) for more information on the above options

Member Function Documentation

constructor() [1/2]

deprecated ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::constructor	(	string	name,
		string	desc,
		string	url,
		bool	monitor,
		*hash	opts,
		hash	urlh
	)

DEPRECATED: creates the HttpConnection object.

Parameters

name	the name of the connection
desc	connection description
url	connection URL (potentially with password info)
monitor	monitoring flag
opts	connection options (

See also

getOptions() for valid options)

Parameters

urlh	broken down URL hash (as returned by Qore::parse_url())

Deprecated:

since Qorus 0.9

constructor() [2/2]

ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::constructor	(	string	name,
		string	description,
		string	url,
		hash	attributes = {},
		hash	options = {}
	)

creates the HttpConnection object

Parameters

name	the name of the connection
description	connection description
url	connection URL (potentially with password info)
attributes	various attributes. See below
options	connection options

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

getConstructorInfoImpl()

hash<ConnectionConstructorInfo> ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::getConstructorInfoImpl ( )

privatevirtual

returns a hash that can be used to contruct the object dynamically

Since

ConnectionProvider 1.1

Implements ConnectionProvider::AbstractConnection.

getDefaultOptions()

*hash ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::getDefaultOptions

(

)

returns default options

Returns

default options as follows:

• "connect_timeout": (relative date/time value) 45 seconds
• "timeout": (relative date/time value) 45 seconds

getImpl()

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

privatevirtual

returns an Qore::HTTPClient object

Parameters

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

Implements ConnectionProvider::AbstractConnection.

getOptions()

hash ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::getOptions

(

)

gets options

Returns

returns a hash with the following supported options:

• "connect_timeout": connection timeout to use in milliseconds
• "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
• "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

make()

static deprecated HttpConnection ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::make ( string  name, string  desc, string  url, bool  monitor, *hash  opts, hash  urlh  )
