NE_READ_RESPONSE_TO_(3)

NAME
ne_read_response_to_fd, ne_read_response_to_buffer - read a response body

SYNOPSIS

#include <ne_request.h>

int ne_read_response_to_fd(ne_request *req, int fd);

int ne_read_response_to_buffer(ne_request *req, char *data, size_t *buflen);

DESCRIPTION

To read an HTTP response body the functions ne_read_response_to_fd and ne_read_response_to_buffer can be used. These functions are wrappers for ne_read_response_block and must be called only after ne_begin_request has been called successfully for the request.

The ne_read_response_to_fd function writes the response body content to the file descriptor passed as the fd parameter.

The ne_read_response_to_buffer function writes the response body content to the buffer passed as the buf parameter, which has length passed via the *buflen parameter. On success, the *buflen is updated with the number of bytes written to the buffer.

After the response body has been read successfully, ne_end_request must be called. If a failure occurs while reading the response body, the connection must be closed using ne_close_connection(3).

RETURN VALUE

Both functions return zero on success, or an NE_* error code on failure. The ne_read_response_to_buffer function returns NE_FAILED if the response message length is larger than the buffer length.

HISTORY

ne_read_response_to_buffer is available in neon 0.36.0 and later.
