HTTP_DONE(3)		    libdill Library Functions		    HTTP_DONE(3)

NAME
     http_done - half-closes a HTTP connection

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int http_done(
		int s,
		int64_t deadline);

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 closes the outbound half of an HTTP connection.  Technically,
     it  sends	a blank line to the peer.  This will, in turn, cause the peer to
     get EPIPE error after it has received all the data.

     Note that HTTP servers rely on getting a blank line before they send a  re-
     sponse to a request.  Therefore, client, after sending all the fields, must
     use http_done to inform the server that it should act upon the request.

     s: The HTTP connection handle.

     deadline:	A point in time when the operation should time out, in millisec-
     onds.  Use the now function to get your current point in time.  0 means im-
     mediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return  without
     blocking  if  not.  -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever
     if the operation cannot be performed.

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

RETURN VALUE
     In  case of success the function returns 0.  In case of error it returns -1
     and sets errno to one of the values below.

ERRORS
     * EBADF: Invalid handle.

     * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * EPIPE: The connection was already half-closed.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

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);
