Detailed Description

Base class for HttpRequest and HttpResponse.

This abstract class provides a common functionality for the HTTP requests and responses. Each such message can be marked as outbound or inbound. An HTTP inbound request is the one received by the server and HTTP inbound response is the response received by the client. Conversely, an HTTP outbound request is the request created by the client and HTTP outbound response is the response created by the server. There are differences in how the inbound and outbound messages are created. The inbound messages are received over the TCP sockets and parsed by the parsers. The parsed information is stored in a context, i.e. structure holding raw information and associated with the given HttpMessage instance. Once the message is parsed and all required information is stored in the context, the create method is called to validate and fetch information from the context into the message. The finalize method is called to commit the HTTP message body into the message.

The outbound message is created locally from the known data, e.g. HTTP version number, URI, method etc. The headers can be then appended to the message via the context. In order to use this message the finalize method must be called to commit this information. Them, toString method can be called to generate the message in the textual form, which can be transferred via TCP socket.

◆ create()

virtual void isc::http::HttpMessage::create ( )

pure virtual

Reads parsed message from the context, validates the message and stores parsed information.

This method must be called before retrieving parsed data using accessors. This method doesn't parse the HTTP request body.

Implemented in isc::http::HttpRequest, and isc::http::HttpResponse.

◆ finalize()

virtual void isc::http::HttpMessage::finalize ( )

pure virtual

Complete parsing HTTP message or creating an HTTP outbound message.

This method is used in two situations: when a message has been received into a context and may be fully parsed (including the body) or when the data for the creation of the outbound message have been stored in a context and the message can be now created from the context.

This method should call create method if it hasn't been called yet and then read the message body from the context and interpret it. If the body doesn't adhere to the requirements for the message (in particular, when the content type of the body is invalid) an exception should be thrown.

Implemented in isc::http::PostHttpRequestJson, isc::http::HttpRequest, isc::http::HttpResponse, and isc::http::HttpResponseJson.

Referenced by isc::http::HttpMessageParserBase::parseEndedHandler().

◆ getBody()
