Implemented Interfaces

SoupSocket implements GInitable.

Includes

#include <libsoup/soup.h>

Description

SoupSocket is libsoup's TCP socket type. While it is primarily intended for internal use, SoupSockets are exposed in the API in various places, and some of their methods (eg, soup_socket_get_remote_address()) may be useful to applications.

Functions

soup_socket_new ()

SoupSocket *
soup_socket_new (const char *optname1,
                 ...);

Creates a new (disconnected) socket

Parameters

optname1

name of first property to set (or NULL)

 

...

value of optname1 , followed by additional property/value pairs

 

Returns

the new socket


SoupSocketCallback ()

void
(*SoupSocketCallback) (SoupSocket *sock,
                       guint status,
                       gpointer user_data);

The callback function passed to soup_socket_connect_async().

Parameters

sock

the SoupSocket

 

status

an HTTP status code indicating success or failure

 

user_data

the data passed to soup_socket_connect_async()

 

soup_socket_connect_async ()

void
soup_socket_connect_async (SoupSocket *sock,
                           GCancellable *cancellable,
                           SoupSocketCallback callback,
                           gpointer user_data);

Begins asynchronously connecting to sock 's remote address. The socket will call callback when it succeeds or fails (but not before returning from this function).

If cancellable is non-NULL, it can be used to cancel the connection. callback will still be invoked in this case, with a status of SOUP_STATUS_CANCELLED.

Parameters

sock

a client SoupSocket (which must not already be connected)

 

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

callback

callback to call after connecting.

[scope async]

user_data

data to pass to callback

 

soup_socket_connect_sync ()

guint
soup_socket_connect_sync (SoupSocket *sock,
                          GCancellable *cancellable);

Attempt to synchronously connect sock to its remote address.

If cancellable is non-NULL, it can be used to cancel the connection, in which case soup_socket_connect_sync() will return SOUP_STATUS_CANCELLED.

Parameters

sock

a client SoupSocket (which must not already be connected)

 

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

Returns

a success or failure code.


soup_socket_listen ()

gboolean
soup_socket_listen (SoupSocket *sock);

Makes sock start listening on its local address. When connections come in, sock will emit “new_connection”.

Parameters

sock

a server SoupSocket (which must not already be connected or listening)

 

Returns

whether or not sock is now listening.


soup_socket_start_ssl ()

gboolean
soup_socket_start_ssl (SoupSocket *sock,
                       GCancellable *cancellable);

Starts using SSL on socket .

Parameters

sock

the socket

 

cancellable

a GCancellable

 

Returns

success or failure


soup_socket_start_proxy_ssl ()

gboolean
soup_socket_start_proxy_ssl (SoupSocket *sock,
                             const char *ssl_host,
                             GCancellable *cancellable);

Starts using SSL on socket , expecting to find a host named ssl_host .

Parameters

sock

the socket

 

ssl_host

hostname of the SSL server

 

cancellable

a GCancellable

 

Returns

success or failure

a SoupSocket

 

Returns

TRUE if sock has SSL credentials set


soup_socket_disconnect ()

void
soup_socket_disconnect (SoupSocket *sock);

Disconnects sock . Any further read or write attempts on it will fail.

Parameters

sock

a SoupSocket

 

soup_socket_is_connected ()

gboolean
soup_socket_is_connected (SoupSocket *sock);

Tests if sock is connected to another host

Parameters

sock

a SoupSocket

 

Returns

TRUE or FALSE.


soup_socket_get_local_address ()

SoupAddress *
soup_socket_get_local_address (SoupSocket *sock);

Returns the SoupAddress corresponding to the local end of sock .

Calling this method on an unconnected socket is considered to be an error, and produces undefined results.

Parameters

sock

a SoupSocket

 

Returns

the SoupAddress.

[transfer none]


soup_socket_get_remote_address ()

SoupAddress *
soup_socket_get_remote_address (SoupSocket *sock);

Returns the SoupAddress corresponding to the remote end of sock .

Calling this method on an unconnected socket is considered to be an error, and produces undefined results.

Parameters

sock

a SoupSocket

 

Returns

the SoupAddress.

[transfer none]


soup_socket_get_fd ()

int
soup_socket_get_fd (SoupSocket *sock);

Gets sock 's underlying file descriptor.

Note that fiddling with the file descriptor may break the SoupSocket.

Parameters

sock

a SoupSocket

 

Returns

sock 's file descriptor.


soup_socket_read ()

SoupSocketIOStatus
soup_socket_read (SoupSocket *sock,
                  gpointer buffer,
                  gsize len,
                  gsize *nread,
                  GCancellable *cancellable,
                  GError **error);

Attempts to read up to len bytes from sock into buffer . If some data is successfully read, soup_socket_read() will return SOUP_SOCKET_OK, and *nread will contain the number of bytes actually read (which may be less than len ).

If sock is non-blocking, and no data is available, the return value will be SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK. In this case, the caller can connect to the “readable” signal to know when there is more data to read. (NB: You MUST read all available data off the socket first. “readable” is only emitted after soup_socket_read() returns SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK, and it is only emitted once. See the documentation for “non-blocking”.)

Parameters

sock

the socket

 

buffer

buffer to read into.

[array length=len][element-type guint8]

len

size of buffer in bytes

 

nread

on return, the number of bytes read into buffer .

[out]

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

error

error pointer

 

Returns

a SoupSocketIOStatus, as described above (or SOUP_SOCKET_EOF if the socket is no longer connected, or SOUP_SOCKET_ERROR on any other error, in which case error will also be set).


soup_socket_read_until ()

SoupSocketIOStatus
soup_socket_read_until (SoupSocket *sock,
                        gpointer buffer,
                        gsize len,
                        gconstpointer boundary,
                        gsize boundary_len,
                        gsize *nread,
                        gboolean *got_boundary,
                        GCancellable *cancellable,
                        GError **error);

Like soup_socket_read(), but reads no further than the first occurrence of boundary . (If the boundary is found, it will be included in the returned data, and *got_boundary will be set to TRUE.) Any data after the boundary will returned in future reads.

soup_socket_read_until() will almost always return fewer than len bytes: if the boundary is found, then it will only return the bytes up until the end of the boundary, and if the boundary is not found, then it will leave the last (boundary_len - 1) bytes in its internal buffer, in case they form the start of the boundary string. Thus, len normally needs to be at least 1 byte longer than boundary_len if you want to make any progress at all.

Parameters

sock

the socket

 

buffer

buffer to read into.

[array length=len][element-type guint8]

len

size of buffer in bytes

 

boundary

boundary to read until

 

boundary_len

length of boundary in bytes

 

nread

on return, the number of bytes read into buffer .

[out]

got_boundary

on return, whether or not the data in buffer ends with the boundary string

 

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

error

error pointer

 

Returns

as for soup_socket_read()


soup_socket_write ()

SoupSocketIOStatus
soup_socket_write (SoupSocket *sock,
                   gconstpointer buffer,
                   gsize len,
                   gsize *nwrote,
                   GCancellable *cancellable,
                   GError **error);

Attempts to write len bytes from buffer to sock . If some data is successfully written, the return status will be SOUP_SOCKET_OK, and *nwrote will contain the number of bytes actually written (which may be less than len ).

If sock is non-blocking, and no data could be written right away, the return value will be SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK. In this case, the caller can connect to the “writable” signal to know when more data can be written. (NB: “writable” is only emitted after soup_socket_write() returns SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK, and it is only emitted once. See the documentation for “non-blocking”.)

Parameters

sock

the socket

 

buffer

data to write.

[array length=len][element-type guint8]

len

size of buffer , in bytes

 

nwrote

on return, number of bytes written.

[out]

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

error

error pointer

 

Returns

a SoupSocketIOStatus, as described above (or SOUP_SOCKET_EOF or SOUP_SOCKET_ERROR. error will be set if the return value is SOUP_SOCKET_ERROR.)

Property Details

The “async-context” property

  “async-context”            gpointer

The GMainContext to dispatch this socket's async I/O in.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only


The “fd” property

  “fd”                       gint

The socket's file descriptor.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1


The “gsocket” property

  “gsocket”                  GSocket *

The socket's underlying GSocket.

Flags: Write / Construct Only


The “iostream” property

  “iostream”                 GIOStream *

The socket's underlying GIOStream.

Flags: Write / Construct Only


The “ipv6-only” property

  “ipv6-only”                gboolean

IPv6 only.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE


The “is-server” property

  “is-server”                gboolean

Whether or not the socket is a server socket.

Note that for "ordinary" SoupSockets this will be set for both listening sockets and the sockets emitted by “new-connection”, but for sockets created by setting “fd”, it will only be set for listening sockets.

Flags: Read

Default value: FALSE


The “local-address” property

  “local-address”            SoupAddress *

Address of local end of socket.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only


The “non-blocking” property

  “non-blocking”             gboolean

Whether or not the socket uses non-blocking I/O.

SoupSocket's I/O methods are designed around the idea of using a single codepath for both synchronous and asynchronous I/O. If you want to read off a SoupSocket, the "correct" way to do it is to call soup_socket_read() or soup_socket_read_until() repeatedly until you have read everything you want. If it returns SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK at any point, stop reading and wait for it to emit the “readable” signal. Then go back to the reading-as-much-as-you-can loop. Likewise, for writing to a SoupSocket, you should call soup_socket_write() either until you have written everything, or it returns SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK (in which case you wait for “writable” and then go back into the loop).

Code written this way will work correctly with both blocking and non-blocking sockets; blocking sockets will simply never return SOUP_SOCKET_WOULD_BLOCK, and so the code that handles that case just won't get used for them.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “remote-address” property

  “remote-address”           SoupAddress *

Address of remote end of socket.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only


The “socket-properties” property

  “socket-properties”        SoupSocketProperties *

SSL credential information, passed from the session to the SSL implementation.

Flags: Read / Write


The “ssl-fallback” property

  “ssl-fallback”             gboolean

Use SSLv3 instead of TLS (client-side only).

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: FALSE


The “ssl-strict” property

  “ssl-strict”               gboolean

Whether certificate errors should be considered a connection error.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: TRUE
