NE_SET_USERAGENT(3) neon API reference NE_SET_USERAGENT(3)
NAME
ne_set_useragent, ne_set_persist, ne_set_read_timeout, ne_get_scheme, ne_get_server_hostport - common properties for HTTP sessions
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_session.h>
void ne_set_useragent (ne_session *session, const char *product);
void ne_set_persist (ne_session *session, int flag);
void ne_set_read_timeout (ne_session *session, int timeout);
const char *ne_get_scheme (ne_sesssion *session);
const char *ne_get_server_hostport (ne_sesssion *session);
DESCRIPTION
The User-Agent request header is used to identify the software which generated the request for statistical or debugging purposes. neon does
not send a User-Agent header unless a call is made to the ne_set_useragent. ne_set_useragent must be passed a product string conforming to
RFC2616's product token grammar; of the form "Product/Version".
By default neon will use a persistent connection whenever possible. For specific applications, or for debugging purposes, it is sometimes
useful to disable persistent connections. The ne_set_persist function will disable persistent connections if passed a flag parameter of 0,
and will enable them otherwise.
When neon reads from a socket, by default the read operation will time out after 60 seconds, and the request will fail giving an NE_TIMEOUT
error. To configure this timeout interval, call ne_set_read_timeout giving the desired number of seconds as the timeout parameter.
The scheme used to initially create the session will be returned by ne_get_scheme.
The hostport pair with which the session is associated will be returned by the ne_get_server_hostport; for example www.example.com:8080.
Note that the :port will be omitted if the default port for the scheme is used.
EXAMPLES
Set a user-agent string:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
ne_set_useragent(sess, "MyApplication/2.1");
Disable use of persistent connections:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
ne_set_persist(sess, 0);
Set a 30 second read timeout:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
ne_set_read_timeout(sess, 30);
