HTTP_SENDSTATUS(3)	    libdill Library Functions	      HTTP_SENDSTATUS(3)

NAME
     http_sendstatus - sends HTTP status to the peer

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int http_sendstatus(
		int s,
		int status,
		const char* reason,
		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  sends  an	HTTP status line to the peer.  It is meant to be
     done at the beginning of the HTTP response.  For example, if status is  404
     and reason is 'Not found' the line sent will look like this:

	    HTTP/1.1 404 Not found

     s: HTTP socket handle.

     status: HTTP status such as 200 or 404.

     reason: Reason string such as 'OK' or 'Not found'.

     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.

     * ECONNRESET: Broken connection.

     * EINVAL: Invalid argument.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	    int s = tcp_accept(listener, NULL, -1);
	    s = http_attach(s, -1);
	    char command[256];
	    char resource[256];
	    http_recvrequest(s, command, sizeof(command), resource, sizeof(resource), -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;
	    }
	    http_sendstatus(s, 200, "OK", -1);
	    s = http_detach(s, -1);
	    tcp_close(s);
