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
  • "pre_encoded_urls": If True then all URI paths in URLs are assumed to be already percent encoded; if this flag is set and any unencoded characters are sent in a URL with a new request, an exception is raised
  • "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

◆ getDataProvider()

DataProvider::AbstractDataProvider ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::getDataProvider ( )

Returns an HttpDataProvider object for this connection.

Returns
an HttpDataProvider object for this connection
See also
hasDataProvider()

◆ 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.

◆ hasDataProvider()

bool ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::hasDataProvider ( )

Returns True, as the connection returns a data provider with the getDataProvider() method.

Returns
True, as the connection returns a data provider with the getDataProvider() method
See also
getDataProvider()

◆ startPollConnect()

AbstractPollOperation ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::startPollConnect ( )

Called to start the connection if the connection supports the polling API.

Returns
a socket poll operation object that will allow the connection goal to be reached with polling
See also
supportsPollingApi()
Since
ConnectionProvider 1.7

◆ supportsPollingApi()

bool ConnectionProvider::HttpConnection::supportsPollingApi ( )

returns True, since this connection type supports the Qore Socket-based polling API
