## Description

A SoupMessage represents an HTTP message that is being sent or received.

For client-side usage, you would create a SoupMessage with `soup_message_new()` or `soup_message_new_from_uri()`, set up its fields appropriate, and send it via a SoupSession.

For server-side usage, SoupServer will create SoupMessages automatically for incoming requests, which your application will receive via handlers.

Note that libsoup's terminology here does not quite match the HTTP specification: in RFC 2616, an "HTTP-message" is either a Request, or a Response. In libsoup, a SoupMessage combines both the request and the response.

## Details

### SoupMessage

    typedef struct {
    	const char         *method;

    	guint               status_code;
    	char               *reason_phrase;

    	SoupMessageBody    *request_body;
    	SoupMessageHeaders *request_headers;

    	SoupMessageBody    *response_body;
    	SoupMessageHeaders *response_headers;
    } SoupMessage;

Represents an HTTP message being sent or received.

`status_code` will normally be a SoupKnownStatusCode, eg, `SOUP_STATUS_OK`, though of course it might actually be an unknown status code. `reason_phrase` is the actual text returned from the server, which may or may not correspond to the "standard" description of `status_code`. At any rate, it is almost certainly not localized, and not very descriptive even if it is in the user's language; you should not use `reason_phrase` in user-visible messages. Rather, you should look at `status_code`, and determine an end-user-appropriate message based on that and on what you were trying to do.

As described in the SoupMessageBody documentation, the `request_body` and `response_body` `data` fields will not necessarily be filled in at all times. When they are filled in, they will be terminated with a '\0' byte (which is not included in the `length`), so you can use them as ordinary C strings (assuming that you know that the body doesn't have any other '\0' bytes).

For a client-side SoupMessage, `request_body`'s `data` is usually filled in right before libsoup writes the request to the network, but you should not count on this; use `soup_message_body_flatten()` if you want to ensure that `data` is filled in. `response_body`'s `data` will be filled in before "finished" is emitted.

For a server-side SoupMessage, `request_body`'s `data` will be filled in before "got_body" is emitted.

To prevent the `data` field from being filled in at all (eg, if you are handling the data from a "got_chunk", and so don't need to see it all at the end), call `soup_message_body_set_accumulate()` on `response_body` or `request_body` as appropriate, passing `FALSE`.

const char *`method`; | the HTTP method
guint `status_code`; | the HTTP status code
char *`reason_phrase`; | the status phrase associated with `status_code`

### soup_message_new ()

    SoupMessage *       soup_message_new                    (const char *method,
                                                             const char *uri_string);

Creates a new empty SoupMessage, which will connect to `uri`

`method` : | the HTTP method for the created request

### soup_message_new_from_uri ()

    SoupMessage *       soup_message_new_from_uri           (const char *method,
                                                             SoupURI *uri);

Creates a new empty SoupMessage, which will connect to `uri`

`method` : | the HTTP method for the created request
`uri` : | the destination endpoint (as a SoupURI)
Returns : | the new SoupMessage

### soup_message_set_request ()

    void                soup_message_set_request            (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             const char *content_type,
                                                             SoupMemoryUse req_use,

                                                             gsize req_length);

Convenience function to set the request body of a SoupMessage. If `content_type` is `NULL`, the request body must be empty as well.

`msg` : | the message
`content_type` : | MIME Content-Type of the body
`req_use` : | a SoupMemoryUse describing how to handle `req_body`
`req_body` : | a data buffer containing the body of the message request.
`req_length` : | the byte length of `req_body`.

### soup_message_set_response ()

    void                soup_message_set_response           (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             const char *content_type,
                                                             SoupMemoryUse resp_use,
                                                             const char *resp_body,
                                                             gsize resp_length);

Convenience function to set the response body of a SoupMessage. If `content_type` is `NULL`, the response body must be empty as well.

`msg` : | the message
`content_type` : | MIME Content-Type of the body
`resp_use` : | a SoupMemoryUse describing how to handle `resp_body`

### enum SoupHTTPVersion

    typedef enum {
    	SOUP_HTTP_1_0 = 0,
    	SOUP_HTTP_1_1 = 1
    } SoupHTTPVersion;

Indicates the HTTP protocol version being used.

`SOUP_HTTP_1_0` | HTTP 1.0 (RFC 1945)
`SOUP_HTTP_1_1` | HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2616)

### soup_message_set_http_version ()

    void                soup_message_set_http_version       (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             SoupHTTPVersion version);

Sets the HTTP version on `msg`. The default version is `SOUP_HTTP_1_1`. Setting it to `SOUP_HTTP_1_0` will prevent certain functionality from being used.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`version` : | the HTTP version

### soup_message_get_http_version ()

    SoupHTTPVersion     soup_message_get_http_version       (SoupMessage *msg);

Gets the HTTP version of `msg`. This is the minimum of the version from the request and the version from the response.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
Returns : | the HTTP version

### soup_message_get_uri ()

    SoupURI *           soup_message_get_uri                (SoupMessage *msg);

Gets `msg`'s URI

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
Returns : | the URI `msg` is targeted for.

### soup_message_set_uri ()

    void                soup_message_set_uri                (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             SoupURI *uri);

Sets `msg`'s URI to `uri`. If `msg` has already been sent and you want to re-send it with the new URI, you need to call `soup_session_requeue_message()`.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`uri` : | the new SoupURI

### soup_message_get_address ()

    SoupAddress *       soup_message_get_address            (SoupMessage *msg);

Gets the address `msg`'s URI points to. After first setting the URI on a message, this will be unresolved, although the message's session will resolve it before sending the message.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
Returns : | the address `msg`'s URI points to

Since 2.26

### soup_message_set_status ()

    void                soup_message_set_status             (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             guint status_code);

Sets `msg`'s status code to `status_code`. If `status_code` is a known value, it will also set `msg`'s reason_phrase.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`status_code` : | an HTTP status code

### soup_message_set_status_full ()

    void                soup_message_set_status_full        (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             guint status_code,
                                                             const char *reason_phrase);

Sets `msg`'s status code and reason phrase.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`status_code` : | an HTTP status code
`reason_phrase` : | a description of the status

### soup_message_is_keepalive ()

    gboolean            soup_message_is_keepalive           (SoupMessage *msg);

Determines whether or not `msg`'s connection can be kept alive for further requests after processing `msg`, based on the HTTP version, Connection header, etc.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
Returns : | `TRUE` or `FALSE`.

### soup_message_add_header_handler ()

    guint               soup_message_add_header_handler     (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             const char *signal,
                                                             const char *header,
                                                             GCallback callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

Adds a signal handler to `msg` for `signal`, as with `g_signal_connect()`, but with two differences: the `callback` will only be run if `msg` has a header named `header`, and it will only be run if no earlier handler cancelled or requeued the message.

If `signal` is one of the "got" signals (eg, "got_headers"), or "finished" or "restarted", then `header` is matched against the incoming message headers (that is, the request_headers for a client SoupMessage, or the response_headers for a server SoupMessage). If `signal` is one of the "wrote" signals, then `header` is matched against the outgoing message headers.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`signal` : | signal to connect the handler to.

    guint               soup_message_add_status_code_handler
                                                            (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             const char *signal,
                                                             guint status_code,
                                                             GCallback callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

Adds a signal handler to `msg` for `signal`, as with `g_signal_connect()` but with two differences: the `callback` will only be run if `msg` has the status `status_code`, and it will only be run if no earlier handler cancelled or requeued the message.

`signal` must be a signal that will be emitted after `msg`'s status is set. For a client SoupMessage, this means it can't be a "wrote" signal. For a server SoupMessage, this means it can't be a "got" signal.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`signal` : | signal to connect the handler to.
`status_code` : | status code to match against
`callback` : | the header handler
`user_data` : | data to pass to `handler_cb`
Returns : | the handler ID from `g_signal_connect()`

### enum SoupMessageFlags

    typedef enum {
    	SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT          = (1 << 1),
    #ifndef LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
    	SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS     = (1 << 3),

    	SOUP_MESSAGE_CONTENT_DECODED      = (1 << 4),
    	SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED  = (1 << 5)
    } SoupMessageFlags;

Various flags that can be set on a SoupMessage to alter its behavior.

`SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT` | The session should not follow redirect (3xx) responses received by this message.
`SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS` | Deprecated: equivalent to calling `soup_message_body_set_accumulate()` on the incoming message body (ie, `response_body` for a client-side request), passing `FALSE`.
`SOUP_MESSAGE_CONTENT_DECODED` | Set by SoupContentDecoder to indicate that it has removed the Content-Encoding on a message (and so headers such as Content-Length may no longer accurately describe the body).
`SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED` | if `TRUE` after an https response has been received, indicates that the server's SSL certificate is trusted according to the session's CA.

### soup_message_set_flags ()

    void                soup_message_set_flags              (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             SoupMessageFlags flags);

Sets the specified flags on `msg`.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
Returns : | the flags

### SoupChunkAllocator ()

    SoupBuffer *        (*SoupChunkAllocator)               (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             gsize max_len,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

The prototype for a chunk allocation callback. This should allocate a new SoupBuffer and return it for the I/O layer to read message body data off the network into.

If `max_len` is non-0, it indicates the maximum number of bytes that could be read, based on what is known about the message size. Note that this might be a very large number, and you should not simply try to allocate that many bytes blindly. If `max_len` is 0, that means that libsoup does not know how many bytes remain to be read, and the allocator should return a buffer of a size that it finds convenient.

If the allocator returns `NULL`, the message will be paused. It is up to the application to make sure that it gets unpaused when it becomes possible to allocate a new buffer.

`msg` : | the SoupMessage the chunk is being allocated for
`max_len` : | the maximum length that will be read, or 0.
`user_data` : | the data passed to `soup_message_set_chunk_allocator()`
Returns : | the new buffer (or `NULL`)

### soup_message_set_chunk_allocator ()

    void                soup_message_set_chunk_allocator    (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             SoupChunkAllocator allocator,
                                                             gpointer user_data,
                                                             GDestroyNotify destroy_notify);

Sets an alternate chunk-allocation function to use when reading `msg`'s body. Every time data is available to read, libsoup will call `allocator`, which should return a SoupBuffer. (See SoupChunkAllocator for additional details.) Libsoup will then read data from the network into that buffer, and update the buffer's `length` to indicate how much data it read.

Generally, a custom chunk allocator would be used in conjunction with `soup_message_body_set_accumulate()` `FALSE` and "got_chunk", as part of a strategy to avoid unnecessary copying of data. However, you cannot assume that every call to the allocator will be followed by a call to your `got_chunk` handler; if an I/O error occurs, then the buffer will be unreffed without ever having been used. If your buffer-allocation strategy requires special cleanup, use `soup_buffer_new_with_owner()` rather than doing the cleanup from the `got_chunk` handler.

The other thing to remember when using non-accumulating message bodies is that the buffer passed to the `got_chunk` handler will be unreffed after the handler returns, just as it would be in the non-custom-allocated case. If you want to hand the chunk data off to some other part of your program to use later, you'll need to ref the SoupBuffer (or its owner, in the `soup_buffer_new_with_owner()` case) to ensure that the data remains valid.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`allocator` : | the chunk allocator callback
`user_data` : | data to pass to `allocator`
`destroy_notify` : | destroy notifier to free `user_data` when `msg` is destroyed

### soup_message_disable_feature ()

    void                soup_message_disable_feature        (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                             GType feature_type);

This disables the actions of SoupSessionFeatures with the given `feature_type` (or a subclass of that type) on `msg`, so that `msg` is processed as though the feature(s) hadn't been added to the session. Eg, passing SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER for `feature_type` will disable proxy handling and cause `msg` to be sent directly to the indicated origin server, regardless of system proxy configuration.

You must call this before queueing `msg` on a session; calling it on a message that has already been queued is undefined. In particular, you cannot call this on a message that is being requeued after a redirect or authentication.

`msg` : | a SoupMessage
`feature_type` : | the GType of a SoupSessionFeature

## Signal Details

### The `"content-sniffed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gchar       *type,
                                                            GHashTable  *params,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

This signal is emitted after `got`-headers, and before the first `got`-chunk. If content sniffing is disabled, or no content sniffing will be performed, due to the sniffer deciding to trust the Content-Type sent by the server, this signal is emitted immediately after `got_headers`, and `type` is `NULL`.

If the SoupContentSniffer feature is enabled, and the sniffer decided to perform sniffing, the first `got_chunk` emission may be delayed, so that the sniffer has enough data to correctly sniff the content. It notified the library user that the content has been sniffed, and allows it to change the header contents in the message, if desired.

After this signal is emitted, the data that was spooled so that sniffing could be done is delivered on the first emission of `got_chunk`.

`msg` : | the message
`type` : | the content type that we got from sniffing
`params` : | a GHashTable with the parameters
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.27.3

### The `"finished"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted when all HTTP processing is finished for a message. (After "got_body" for client-side messages, or after "wrote_body" for server-side messages.)

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"got-body"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted after receiving the complete message body. (For a server-side message, this means it has received the request body. For a client-side message, this means it has received the response body and is nearly done with the message.)

See also `soup_message_add_header_handler()` and `soup_message_add_status_code_handler()`, which can be used to connect to a subset of emissions of this signal.

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"got-chunk"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            SoupBuffer  *chunk,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted after receiving a chunk of a message body. Note that "chunk" in this context means any subpiece of the body, not necessarily the specific HTTP 1.1 chunks sent by the other side.

If you cancel or requeue `msg` while processing this signal, then the current HTTP I/O will be stopped after this signal emission finished, and `msg`'s connection will be closed.

`msg` : | the message
`chunk` : | the just-read chunk
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"got-headers"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted after receiving all message headers for a message. (For a client-side message, this is after receiving the Status-Line and response headers; for a server-side message, it is after receiving the Request-Line and request headers.)

See also `soup_message_add_header_handler()` and `soup_message_add_status_code_handler()`, which can be used to connect to a subset of emissions of this signal.

If you cancel or requeue `msg` while processing this signal, then the current HTTP I/O will be stopped after this signal emission finished, and `msg`'s connection will be closed. (If you need to requeue a message--eg, after handling authentication or redirection--it is usually better to requeue it from a "got_body" handler rather than a "got_header" handler, so that the existing HTTP connection can be reused.)

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"got-informational"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted after receiving a 1xx (Informational) response for a (client-side) message. The response_headers will be filled in with the headers associated with the informational response; however, those header values will be erased after this signal is done.

If you cancel or requeue `msg` while processing this signal, then the current HTTP I/O will be stopped after this signal emission finished, and `msg`'s connection will be closed.

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"restarted"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted when a request that was already sent once is now being sent again (eg, because the first attempt received a redirection response, or because we needed to use authentication).

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"wrote-body"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted immediately after writing the complete body for a message. (For a client-side message, this means that libsoup is done writing and is now waiting for the response from the server. For a server-side message, this means that libsoup has finished writing the response and is nearly done with the message.)

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"wrote-body-data"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            SoupBuffer  *chunk,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted immediately after writing a portion of the message body to the network.

Unlike "wrote_chunk", this is emitted after every successful `write()` call, not only after finishing a complete "chunk".

`msg` : | the message
`chunk` : | the data written
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.4.1

### The `"wrote-chunk"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted immediately after writing a body chunk for a message.

Note that this signal is not parallel to "got_chunk"; it is emitted only when a complete chunk (added with `soup_message_body_append()` or `soup_message_body_append_buffer()`) has been written. To get more useful continuous progress information, use "wrote_body_data".

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"wrote-headers"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted immediately after writing the headers for a message. (For a client-side message, this is after writing the request headers; for a server-side message, it is after writing the response headers.)

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"wrote-informational"` signal

    void                user_function                      (SoupMessage *msg,
                                                            gpointer     user_data)      : Run First

Emitted immediately after writing a 1xx (Informational) response for a (server-side) message.

`msg` : | the message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
