Description

Functions

soup_date_new ()

SoupDate *
soup_date_new (int year,
               int month,
               int day,
               int hour,
               int minute,
               int second);

Creates a SoupDate representing the indicated time, UTC.

Parameters

year

the year (1-9999)

 

month

the month (1-12)

 

day

the day of the month (1-31, as appropriate for month )

 

hour

the hour (0-23)

 

minute

the minute (0-59)

 

second

the second (0-59, or up to 61 for leap seconds)

 

Returns

a new SoupDate


soup_date_new_from_string ()

SoupDate *
soup_date_new_from_string (const char *date_string);

Parses date_string and tries to extract a date from it. This recognizes all of the "HTTP-date" formats from RFC 2616, all ISO 8601 formats containing both a time and a date, RFC 2822 dates, and reasonable approximations thereof. (Eg, it is lenient about whitespace, leading "0"s, etc.)

Parameters

date_string

the date in some plausible format

 

Returns

a new SoupDate, or NULL if date_string could not be parsed.


soup_date_new_from_time_t ()

SoupDate *
soup_date_new_from_time_t (time_t when);

Creates a SoupDate corresponding to when

Parameters

when

a time_t

 

Returns

a new SoupDate


soup_date_new_from_now ()

SoupDate *
soup_date_new_from_now (int offset_seconds);

Creates a SoupDate representing a time offset_seconds after the current time (or before it, if offset_seconds is negative). If offset_seconds is 0, returns the current time.

If offset_seconds would indicate a time not expressible as a

time_t, the return value will be clamped into range.

Parameters

offset_seconds

offset from current time

 

Returns

a new SoupDate


soup_date_to_string ()

char *
soup_date_to_string (SoupDate *date,
                     SoupDateFormat format);

Converts date to a string in the format described by format .

Parameters

date

a SoupDate

 

format

the format to generate the date in

 

Returns

date as a string


soup_date_to_time_t ()

time_t
soup_date_to_time_t (SoupDate *date);

Converts date to a time_t.

If date is not representable as a time_t, it will be clamped into range. (In particular, some HTTP cookies have expiration dates after "Y2.038k" (2038-01-19T03:14:07Z).)

Parameters

date

a SoupDate

 

Returns

date as a time_t

gboolean
soup_header_contains (const char *header,
                      const char *token);

Parses header to see if it contains the token token (matched case-insensitively). Note that this can't be used with lists that have qvalues.

Parameters

header

An HTTP header suitable for parsing with soup_header_parse_list()

 

token

a token

 

Returns

whether or not header contains token


soup_header_parse_param_list ()

GHashTable *
soup_header_parse_param_list (const char *header);

Parses a header which is a comma-delimited list of something like: token [ "=" ( token | quoted-string ) ].

Tokens that don't have an associated value will still be added to the resulting hash table, but with a NULL value.

This also handles RFC5987 encoding (which in HTTP is mostly used for giving UTF8-encoded filenames in the Content-Disposition header).

Parameters

header

a header value

 

Returns

a GHashTable of list elements, which can be freed with soup_header_free_param_list().

[element-type utf8 utf8][transfer full]


soup_header_parse_semi_param_list ()

GHashTable *
soup_header_parse_semi_param_list (const char *header);

Parses a header which is a semicolon-delimited list of something like: token [ "=" ( token | quoted-string ) ].

Tokens that don't have an associated value will still be added to the resulting hash table, but with a NULL value.

This also handles RFC5987 encoding (which in HTTP is mostly used for giving UTF8-encoded filenames in the Content-Disposition header).

Parameters

header

a header value

 

Returns

a GHashTable of list elements, which can be freed with soup_header_free_param_list().

[element-type utf8 utf8][transfer full]

Since 2.24


soup_header_free_param_list ()

void
soup_header_free_param_list (GHashTable *param_list);

Frees param_list .

Parameters

param_list

a GHashTable returned from soup_header_parse_param_list() or soup_header_parse_semi_param_list().

[element-type utf8 utf8]

soup_header_g_string_append_param ()

void
soup_header_g_string_append_param (GString *string,
                                   const char *name,
                                   const char *value);

Appends something like name =value to string , taking care to quote value if needed, and if so, to escape any quotes or backslashes in value .

Alternatively, if value is a non-ASCII UTF-8 string, it will be appended using RFC5987 syntax. Although in theory this is supposed to work anywhere in HTTP that uses this style of parameter, in reality, it can only be used portably with the Content-Disposition "filename" parameter.

If value is NULL, this will just append name to string .

Parameters

string

a GString being used to construct an HTTP header value

 

name

a parameter name

 

value

a parameter value, or NULL

 

Since 2.26


soup_header_g_string_append_param_quoted ()

void
soup_header_g_string_append_param_quoted
                               (GString *string,
                                const char *name,
                                const char *value);

Appends something like name ="value " to string , taking care to escape any quotes or backslashes in value .

If value is (non-ASCII) UTF-8, this will instead use RFC 5987 encoding, just like soup_header_g_string_append_param().

Parameters

string

a GString being used to construct an HTTP header value

 

name

a parameter name

 

value

a parameter value

 

Since 2.30


soup_str_case_equal ()

Parameters

v1

an ASCII string

 

v2

another ASCII string

TRUE if they are equal (modulo case)


soup_str_case_hash ()

guint
soup_str_case_hash (gconstpointer key);

Hashes key in a case-insensitive manner.

                     gpointer data);

Adds function to be executed from inside async_context with the default priority. Use this when you want to complete an action in async_context 's main loop, as soon as possible.

Parameters

async_context

the GMainContext to dispatch the I/O watch in, or NULL for the default context.

[allow-none]

function

               gpointer data);

Adds an idle event as with g_idle_add(), but using the given async_context .

If you want function to run "right away", use soup_add_completion(), since that sets a higher priority on the GSource than soup_add_idle() does.

Parameters

the GMainContext to dispatch the I/O watch in, or NULL for the default context.

[allow-none]

function

the callback to invoke at idle time

 

data

user data to pass to function

                  gpointer data);

Adds a timeout as with g_timeout_add(), but using the given async_context .

Parameters

async_context

the GMainContext to dispatch the I/O watch in, or NULL for the default context.

Types and Values

SoupDate

typedef struct {
	int      year;
	int      month;
	int      day;

	int      hour;
	int      minute;
	int      second;

	gboolean utc;
	int      offset;
} SoupDate;

A date and time. The date is assumed to be in the (proleptic) Gregorian calendar. The time is in UTC if utc is TRUE. Otherwise, the time is a local time, and offset gives the offset from UTC in minutes (such that adding offset to the time would give the correct UTC time). If utc is FALSE and offset is 0, then the SoupDate represents a "floating" time with no associated timezone information.

Members

int year;

the year, 1 to 9999

 

int month;

the month, 1 to 12

 

int day;

day of the month, 1 to 31

 

int hour;

hour of the day, 0 to 23

 

int minute;

minute, 0 to 59

 

int second;

second, 0 to 59 (or up to 61 in the case of leap seconds)

 

gboolean utc;

TRUE if the date is in UTC

 

int offset;

offset from UTC

 

enum SoupDateFormat

Date formats that soup_date_to_string() can use.

SOUP_DATE_HTTP and SOUP_DATE_COOKIE always coerce the time to UTC. SOUP_DATE_ISO8601_XMLRPC uses the time as given, ignoring the offset completely. SOUP_DATE_RFC2822 and the other ISO 8601 variants use the local time, appending the offset information if available.

This enum may be extended with more values in future releases.
