NAME

zhttp_request - Class for zhttp server request.

SYNOPSIS

// This is a draft class, and may change without notice. It is disabled in
// stable builds by default. If you use this in applications, please ask
// for it to be pushed to stable state. Use --enable-drafts to enable.
#ifdef CZMQ_BUILD_DRAFT_API
// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Create a new http request.
CZMQ_EXPORT zhttp_request_t *

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Destroy an http request.

// Receive a new request from zhttp_server.
// Return the underlying connection if successful, to be used when calling zhttp_response_send.

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Send a request to zhttp_client.
// Url and the request path will be concatenated.
// This behavior is useful for url rewrite and reverse proxy.
//
// Send also allow two user provided arguments which will be returned with the response.
// The reason for two, is to be able to pass around the server connection when forwarding requests or both a callback function and an arg.

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Set the request method

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Get the request url.
// When receiving a request from http server this is only the path part of the url.
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
zhttp_request_url (zhttp_request_t *self);

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Set the request url
// When sending a request to http client this should be full url.

// Get the request content type

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Get the content of the request.
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Get the content of the request.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done.
CZMQ_EXPORT char *

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Set the content of the request.
// Content must by dynamically allocated string.
// Takes ownership of the content.

// Set the content to NULL

// *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
// Match the path of the request.
// Support wildcards with '%s' symbol inside the match string.
// Matching wildcards until the next '/', '?' or '\0'.
// On successful match the variadic arguments will be filled with the matching strings.
// On successful match the method is modifying the url field and break it into substrings.
// If you need to use the url, do it before matching or take a copy.
//
// User must not free the variadic arguments as they are part of the url.
//
// To use the percent symbol, just double it, e.g "%%something".
//
// Example:
// if (zhttp_request_match (request, "POST", "/send/%s/%s", &name, &id))
