NE_SET_USERAGENT(3) neon API reference NE_SET_USERAGENT(3)NAME
ne_set_useragent, ne_set_read_timeout, ne_set_connect_timeout,
ne_get_scheme, ne_get_server_hostport - common properties for HTTP
sessions
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_session.h>
void ne_set_useragent(ne_session *session, const char *product);
void ne_set_read_timeout(ne_session *session, int timeout);
void ne_set_connect_timeout(ne_session *session, int timeout);
const char *ne_get_scheme(ne_sesssion *session);
const char *ne_get_server_hostport(ne_sesssion *session);
DESCRIPTION
The User-Agent request header is used to identify the software which
generated the request for statistical or debugging purposes. neon does
not send a User-Agent header unless a call is made to the
ne_set_useragent. ne_set_useragent must be passed a product string
conforming to RFC2616's product token grammar; of the form
"Product/Version".
When neon reads from a socket, by default the read operation will time
out after 60 seconds, and the request will fail giving an NE_TIMEOUT
error. To configure this timeout interval, call ne_set_read_timeout
giving the desired number of seconds as the timeout parameter.
When a connection is being established to a server, normally only the
system's TCP timeout handling will apply. To configure a specific (and
probably shorter) timeout, the ne_set_connect_timeout can be used,
giving the desired number of seconds as the timeout parameter. If 0 is
passed, then the default behaviour of using the system TCP timeout will
be used.
The scheme used to initially create the session will be returned by
ne_get_scheme.
The hostport pair with which the session is associated will be returned
by the ne_get_server_hostport; for example www.example.com:8080. Note
that the :port will be omitted if the default port for the scheme is
used.
EXAMPLES
Set a user-agent string:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
ne_set_useragent(sess, "MyApplication/2.1");
Disable use of persistent connections:

Set a 30 second read timeout:

ne_set_read_timeout(sess, 30);
