NAME

       ne_set_request_expect100 - function to enable Expect: 100-continue support

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ne_request.h>

       void ne_set_request_expect100 (ne_request *request, int flag);

DESCRIPTION

       An  extension introduced in the HTTP/1.1 specification was the use of the Expect: 100-continue header. This header allows an HTTP client to
       be informed of the expected response status before the request message body is sent: a useful optimisation for  situations  where  a  large
       message	body  is to be sent. The ne_set_request_expect100 function can be used to enable this feature by passing the flag parameter as any
       non-zero integer.

	      Warning

	      Unfortunately, if this header is sent to a server which is not fully compliant with the HTTP/1.1 specification,  a  deadlock  occurs
	      resulting  in a temporarily "hung" connection. neon will recover gracefully from this situation, but only after a 15 second timeout.
	      It is highly recommended that this option is not enabled unless it is known that the server  in  use  correctly  implements  Expect:
	      100-continue support.

NAME

       ne_set_useragent, ne_set_persist, ne_set_read_timeout, ne_set_expect100 - common settings 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);

       void ne_set_expect100 (ne_session *session, int flag);

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.

       An extension introduced in the HTTP/1.1 specification was the use of the Expect: 100-continue header. This header allows an HTTP client	to
       be  informed  of  the  expected response status before the request message body is sent: a useful optimisation for situations where a large
       message body is to be sent. The ne_set_expect100 function can be used to enable this feature by passing the flag parameter as any  non-zero
       integer.

	      Warning

	      Unfortunately,  if  this	header is sent to a server which is not fully compliant with the HTTP/1.1 specification, a deadlock occurs
	      resulting in a temporarily "hung" connection. neon will recover gracefully from this situation, but only after a 15 second  timeout.
	      It  is  highly  recommended  that  this option is not enabled unless it is known that the server in use correctly implements Expect:
	      100-continue support.

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);
