Connection¶

class connection¶

Objects of this type represent a connection between a single client and a server. A connection object can be used to generate request objects; one in the case of HTTP/1.0 or multiple in the case of HTTP/1.1.

The connection class has no public constructor (besides the move constructor), and can only be created by calling server::serve().

connection(connection&&)¶: Explicit move constructor as one can’t be generated for this class

~connection()¶: Destructor for a connection, which closes it; any requests or responses created on this connection can no longer be read from or written to

const std::string &client_address() const¶: The IP address of the connected client

unsigned int client_port() const¶: The port of the connected client

const std::string &server_address() const¶: The address of the server handling the connection

unsigned int server_port() const¶: The port of the server handling the connection

int timeout() const¶: Get the current timeout of this connection, initially inherited from the server the connection is created from

int timeout(int)¶

Set the timeout of this connection independently of the server; the argument is a number of seconds, 0, or -1
