SYNOPSIS

11       #include <ne_session.h>
12
13       void ne_set_useragent(ne_session *session, const char *product);

15       void ne_set_read_timeout(ne_session *session, int timeout);
16
17       void ne_set_connect_timeout(ne_session *session, int timeout);
18
19       const char *ne_get_scheme(ne_sesssion *session);

DESCRIPTION

24       The User-Agent request header is used to identify the software which
25       generated the request for statistical or debugging purposes. neon does
26       not send a User-Agent header unless a call is made to the
27       ne_set_useragent.  ne_set_useragent must be passed a product string
28       conforming to RFC2616´s product token grammar; of the form
29       "Product/Version".
30
31       When neon reads from a socket, by default the read operation will time
32       out after 60 seconds, and the request will fail giving an NE_TIMEOUT
33       error. To configure this timeout interval, call ne_set_read_timeout
34       giving the desired number of seconds as the timeout parameter.
35
36       When a connection is being established to a server, normally only the
37       system´s TCP timeout handling will apply. To configure a specific (and
38       probably shorter) timeout, the ne_set_connect_timeout can be used,
39       giving the desired number of seconds as the timeout parameter. If 0 is
40       passed, then the default behaviour of using the system TCP timeout will
41       be used.
42
43       The scheme used to initially create the session will be returned by
44       ne_get_scheme.
45
46       The hostport pair with which the session is associated will be returned
47       by the ne_get_server_hostport; for example www.example.com:8080. Note
48       that the :port will be omitted if the default port for the scheme is
49       used.

EXAMPLES

52       Set a user-agent string:
53
54           ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
55           ne_set_useragent(sess, "MyApplication/2.1");
56
57       Set a 30 second read timeout:
58
59           ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
60           ne_set_read_timeout(sess, 30);
