vlc_h1_request()

struct vlc_http_stream* vlc_h1_request	(	void *	ctx,
		const char *	hostname,

		bool	idempotent,

	)

Sends an HTTP/1.x request through a new connection.

This function resolves a the specified HTTP server hostname, establishes a connection to specified TCP port of the server, then sends an HTTP request. The connection is not protected with TLS.

All those operations are combined in a single function call in order to support TCP Fast Open. That can save one round-trip when establishing a new HTTP connection.

Note

In the case of TLS, TCP Fast Open would convey the TLS Client Hello message rather than the HTTP request header. The HTTP request header can however be sent with the TLS False Start. This is handled by the TLS stack and does not require a combined function call.

Parameters

ctx	opaque context pointer for the HTTP connection
hostname	HTTP server or proxy hostname to connect to
port	TCP port number to connect to
proxy	true of the hostname and port correspond to an HTTP proxy, or false if they correspond to an HTTP origin server
req	HTTP request message
idempotent	whether the HTTP request is idempotent (e.g. GET), or not (e.g. POST)
connp	pointer to storage space for the established HTTP connection (or NULL if the connection is not to be reused) [OUT] can be NULL if the connection is not meant to be reused

Returns

an HTTP stream on success, NULL on error

Note

*connp is undefined on error.
