Detailed Description

Use the CURL library to dereference a HTTP URL. Scan the response for headers used by DAP 2.0 and extract their values. The body of the response is made available using a FILE pointer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ HTTPConnect() [1/3]

libdap::HTTPConnect::HTTPConnect ( RCReader * rcr,
bool use_cpp = false )
explicit

Build a virtual connection to a remote data source that will be accessed using HTTP.

Parameters
rcrA pointer to the RCReader object which holds configuration file information to be used by this virtual connection.
use_cppIf true, use C++ streams and not FILE* for the data read off the wire. This can be changed later using the set_use_cpp_streams() method.

Member Function Documentation

◆ fetch_url()

HTTPResponse * libdap::HTTPConnect::fetch_url ( const std::string & url)

Dereference a URL. This method dereferences a URL and stores the result (i.e., it formulates an HTTP request and processes the HTTP server's response). After this method is successfully called, the value of is_response_present() will be true and the methods get_response_headers(), type() and server_version() may be called.

Parameters
urlThe URL to dereference.
Returns
A pointer to the stream.
Exceptions
ErrorThrown if the URL could not be dereferenced.
InternalErrThrown if a temporary file to hold the response could not be opened.

Definition at line 570 of file HTTPConnect.cc.

◆ is_cache_enabled()

bool libdap::HTTPConnect::is_cache_enabled ( ) const
inline

Return the current state of the HTTP cache.

Definition at line 158 of file HTTPConnect.h.

◆ operator=()

HTTPConnect & libdap::HTTPConnect::operator= ( const HTTPConnect & )
delete

◆ set_accept_deflate()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_accept_deflate ( bool deflate)

Set the accept deflate property. If true, the DAP client announces to a server that it can accept responses compressed using the deflate algorithm. This property is automatically set using a value from the .dodsrc configuration file. This method provides a way to override that behavior.

Note
If the configuration file is not present or does not include a value for this property, it is set to false.
Parameters
deflateTrue sets the accept deflate property, False clears it.

Definition at line 903 of file HTTPConnect.cc.

◆ set_cache_enabled()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_cache_enabled ( bool enabled)
inline

Set the state of the HTTP cache. By default, the HTTP cache is enabled or disabled using the value of the USE_CACHE property in the .dodsrc file. Use this method to set the state from within a program.

Parameters
enabledTrue to use the cache, False to disable.

Definition at line 151 of file HTTPConnect.h.

◆ set_cookie_jar()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_cookie_jar ( const std::string & cookie_jar)
inline

Set the cookie jar. This function sets the name of a file used to store cookies returned by servers. This will help with things like single sign on systems.

Parameters
cookie_jarThe pathname to the file that stores cookies. If this is the empty string saving cookies is disabled.

Definition at line 141 of file HTTPConnect.h.

◆ set_credentials()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_credentials ( const std::string & u,
const std::string & p )

Set the credentials for responding to challenges while dereferencing URLs. Alternatively, these can be embedded in the URL. This method provides a way for clients of HTTPConnect to get credentials from users (say using a pop up dialog) and to not hack the URL to pass that information to libcurl. Note that the 'credentials in the URL' scheme is part of the URL standard.

This method does nothing if u, the username, is empty.

Parameters
uThe username.
pThe password.
Exceptions
InternalErrThe credentials could not be registered with libcurl.

◆ set_use_cpp_streams()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_use_cpp_streams ( bool use_cpp_streams)
inline

Definition at line 130 of file HTTPConnect.h.

◆ set_xdap_protocol()

void libdap::HTTPConnect::set_xdap_protocol ( int major,
int minor )

Set the xdap_accept property/HTTP-header. This sets the value of the DAP which the client advertises to servers that it understands. The information (client protocol major and minor versions) are recorded in the instance and the information is sent to servers using the XDAP-Accept HTTP request header.

Parameters
majorThe dap client major protocol version
minorThe dap client minor protocol version
