KHTTP_HEAD(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		 KHTTP_HEAD(3)

NAME
     khttp_head	-- emit	one HTTP header	for kcgi

LIBRARY
     library "libkcgi"

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <stdarg.h>
     #include <stdint.h>
     #include <kcgi.h>

     enum kcgi_err
     khttp_head(struct kreq *req, const	char *key, const char *fmt, ...);

     extern const char *const kresps[KRESP__MAX];

DESCRIPTION
     The khttp_head() function takes a kcgi(3) context req that	was previously
     initialised by khttp_parse(3) and emits one HTTP header with the given
     HTTP response key.	 The fmt string	and variable arguments,	which follow
     printf(3) syntax, form the	corresponding value in the HTTP	response.
     This function may only be invoked prior to	khttp_body(3); otherwise, its
     behaviour is undefined.

     The kresps	global array, indexed with the KRESP_* symbolic	constants de-
     fined in <kcgi.h>,	provides standard HTTP key names.  Use it for the key
     argument to avoid typos.

     See khttp_body(3) for a discussion	on the "Content-Encoding" header: do
     not specify this header before doing so!

RETURN VALUES
     The khttp_head() function returns an enum kcgi_err	indicating the error
     state.

     KCGI_OK
	     Success (not an error).

     KCGI_ENOMEM
	     Internal memory allocation	failure.

     KCGI_SYSTEM
	     Internal system error writing to the output stream.

     KCGI_HUP
	     The output	connection has been terminated.	 For FastCGI connec-
	     tions, the	current	connection should be released with
	     khttp_free(3) and parse loop reentered.

EXAMPLES
     To	emit a session cookie (one-year	expiration date) with key ckey and
     value cval	for the	global path, one may invoke the	following.  Assume
     that r is a pointer to a struct kreq successfully initialised by
     khttp_parse(3).

     const char	*ckey =	"foo", *cval = "bar";
     char buf[64];

     khttp_epoch2str(time(NULL)	+ 31536000, buf, 64);

     khttp_head(r, kresps[KRESP_SET_COOKIE],
       "%s=%s; path=/; expires=%s", ckey, cval,	buf);

SEE ALSO
     kcgi(3), khttp_body(3), khttp_parse(3)

STANDARDS
     RFC 2616, section 14: "Header Field Definitions".

     The example references RFC	6265, section 4.1: "Set-Cookie".
