Description

Function: xmlNanoHTTPAuthHeader

const char *	xmlNanoHTTPAuthHeader	(void * ctx)

Get the authentication header of an HTTP context

Function: xmlNanoHTTPCleanup

void	xmlNanoHTTPCleanup		(void)

Cleanup the HTTP protocol layer.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPClose

void	xmlNanoHTTPClose		(void * ctx)

This function closes an HTTP context, it ends up the connection and free all data related to it.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPContentLength

int	xmlNanoHTTPContentLength	(void * ctx)

Provides the specified content length from the HTTP header.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPEncoding

const char *	xmlNanoHTTPEncoding	(void * ctx)

Provides the specified encoding if specified in the HTTP headers.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPFetch

int	xmlNanoHTTPFetch		(const char * URL, 
					 const char * filename, 
					 char ** contentType)

This function try to fetch the indicated resource via HTTP GET and save it's content in the file.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPInit

void	xmlNanoHTTPInit			(void)

Initialize the HTTP protocol layer. Currently it just checks for proxy information

Function: xmlNanoHTTPMethod

void *	xmlNanoHTTPMethod		(const char * URL, 
					 const char * method, 
					 const char * input, 
					 char ** contentType, 
					 const char * headers, 
					 int ilen)

This function try to open a connection to the indicated resource via HTTP using the given @method, adding the given extra headers and the input buffer for the request content.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPMethodRedir

void *	xmlNanoHTTPMethodRedir		(const char * URL, 
					 const char * method, 
					 const char * input, 
					 char ** contentType, 
					 char ** redir, 
					 const char * headers, 
					 int ilen)

This function try to open a connection to the indicated resource via HTTP using the given @method, adding the given extra headers and the input buffer for the request content.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPMimeType

const char *	xmlNanoHTTPMimeType	(void * ctx)

Provides the specified Mime-Type if specified in the HTTP headers.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPOpen

void *	xmlNanoHTTPOpen			(const char * URL, 
					 char ** contentType)

This function try to open a connection to the indicated resource via HTTP GET.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPOpenRedir

void *	xmlNanoHTTPOpenRedir		(const char * URL, 
					 char ** contentType, 
					 char ** redir)

This function try to open a connection to the indicated resource via HTTP GET.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPRead

int	xmlNanoHTTPRead			(void * ctx, 
					 void * dest, 
					 int len)

This function tries to read @len bytes from the existing HTTP connection and saves them in @dest. This is a blocking call.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPRedir

const char *	xmlNanoHTTPRedir	(void * ctx)

Provides the specified redirection URL if available from the HTTP header.

Function: xmlNanoHTTPReturnCode

int	xmlNanoHTTPReturnCode		(void * ctx)

Get the latest HTTP return code received

Function: xmlNanoHTTPSave

int	xmlNanoHTTPSave			(void * ctxt, 
					 const char * filename)

This function saves the output of the HTTP transaction to a file It closes and free the context at the end

Function: xmlNanoHTTPScanProxy

void	xmlNanoHTTPScanProxy		(const char * URL)

(Re)Initialize the HTTP Proxy context by parsing the URL and finding the protocol host port it indicates. Should be like http://myproxy/ or http://myproxy:3128/ A NULL URL cleans up proxy information.
