Ns_ConnStatus(3)

NAME
Ns_ConnGetStatus, Ns_ConnSetStatus - Routines to manage the HTTP response status

SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h"

int
Ns_ConnGetStatus(conn)

void
Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, status)

ARGUMENTS
Pointer to open connection. Integer HTTP status code.

DESCRIPTION

These routines manage the HTTP response code sent to the client in a later call to Ns_ConnFlush or Ns_ConnFlushDirect. Higher level routines such as the Ns_ConnReturn functions normally call these routines automatically using standard HTTP status codes and the Ns_ConnQueueHeaders routine can be used to set the status code for lower level code which bypasses Ns_ConnFlush.

int Ns_ConnGetStatus(conn)
    Return the current HTTP status to be sent.

int Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, status)
    Set the status code to be sent in the response, for example, 200 for a normal "OK" response. A later call to Ns_ConnFlush will construct the appropriate HTTP response including the given status with the cooresponding string status code.

EXAMPLES

The following example demonstrates setting an odd status code followed by a call to Ns_ConnFlushDirect to send some data:
    Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, 600);
    Ns_ConnSetType(conn, "text/plain");
    Ns_ConnFlushDirect(conn, "hello", 5, 0);

The following should provide similar results:
    Ns_ConnSetRequiredHeaders(conn, "text/plain", 5);
    Ns_ConnQueueHeaders(conn, 600);
    Ns_ConnPuts(conn, "hello");
    Ns_ConnClose(conn);
