HTTP_ATTACH(3)		    libdill Library Functions		  HTTP_ATTACH(3)

NAME
     http_attach - creates HTTP protocol on top of underlying socket

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int http_attach(
		int s);

DESCRIPTION
     WARNING:  This  is experimental functionality and the API may change in the
     future.

     HTTP is an application-level protocol described in RFC 7230.   This  imple-
     mentation handles only the request/response exchange.  Whatever comes after
     that must be handled by a different protocol.

     This function instantiates HTTP protocol on top of the underlying protocol.

     s: Handle of the underlying socket.  It must be a bytestream protocol.

     The socket can be cleanly shut down using http_detach function.

     This  function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sock-
     ets option.

RETURN VALUE
     In case of success the function returns newly created  socket  handle.   In
     case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below.

ERRORS
     * EBADF: Invalid handle.

     * EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already
       open.

     * ENFILE:	The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are already
       open.

     * ENOMEM: Not enough memory.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * EPROTO: Underlying socket is not a bytestream socket.

EXAMPLE
	    int s = tcp_connect(&addr, -1);
	    s = http_attach(s);
	    http_sendrequest(s, "GET", "/", -1);
	    http_sendfield(s, "Host", "www.example.org", -1);
	    http_done(s, -1);
	    char reason[256];
	    http_recvstatus(s, reason, sizeof(reason), -1);
	    while(1) {
		char name[256];
		char value[256];
		int rc = http_recvfield(s, name, sizeof(name), value, sizeof(value), -1);
		if(rc == -1 && errno == EPIPE) break;
	    }
	    s = http_detach(s, -1);
	    tcp_close(s);
