Member Function Documentation

◆ FollowRedirections()

void PHttpRequest::FollowRedirections ( bool redirections )

Enables HTTP redirection following, if this is not set and a redirection is necessary then a HTTP 302 will be received.

◆ Get()

PResult PHttpRequest::Get	(	PHttpResponse &	response,
		const PStringMap &	queries = `PStringMap()`
	)		const

Makes a GET request to the URL provided via the constructor.

Optionally, query strings may be fed in a PMap. A PMap such as the one below,

PHttpRequest request("http://10.0.0.2/stream3"); PMap<PString, PString> queryStrings; queryStrings.Put("format", "mp4"); queryStrings.Put("resolution", "qcif"); ...

will make a GET request to http://10.0.0.2/stream3?format=mp4&resolution=qcif

The HTTP response will be returned in a PHttpResponse object.

Returns: PResult::C_OK on success, PResult::Error otherwise.

◆ Post()

PResult PHttpRequest::Post	(	PHttpResponse &	response,
		const PString &	data = `PString::Empty()`,
		const PString &	header = `PString::Empty()`
	)

Makes a POST request to the URL provided via the constructor.

Optionally, data and header may be provided to be POSTed along.

The HTTP response will be returned in a PHttpResponse object.

Returns: PResult:C_OK on success, PResult::Error otherwise.

◆ SetCredentials()

void PHttpRequest::SetCredentials	(	const PString &	username,
		const PString &	password
	)

Sets username and password for the HTTP authentication.

HTTP authentication method is set by default to ANY, so all the available authentication methods will be tried until success.

◆ SetInsecure()

void PHttpRequest::SetInsecure ( bool insecure )

Disables the certificate checking for an HTTPS connection.

◆ SetTimeout()

void PHttpRequest::SetTimeout ( papillon::uint32 timeoutMs )

Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) for the HTTP request to complete.

Note that this is not the connection timeout but the timeout for the entire process until an HTTP response is arrived to the user - hence including the connection timeout.
