or any other function
that take
`struct mg_server *`
parameter. Mongoose does not
mutex-protect
`struct mg_server *`
, therefore the best practice is
to call server management functions from the same thread (an IO thread).
void mg_set_auth_handler(struct mg_server *, mg_handler_t handler);
Sets authorization handler. Called by Mongoose on each request, before
performing any other action. Handler can return either
`MG_AUTH_OK`
or
`MG_AUTH_FAIL`
. If
`handler`
returns
`MG_AUTH_FAIL`
, then Mongoose sends
digest authorization request to the client. If
`handler returns `
MG_AUTH_OK
`,
then mongoose proceeds with handling the request. Handler function can use
`
mg_authorize_digest()
` function to verify authorization, or implement any other
custom authorization mechanism.
void mg_set_request_handler(struct mg_server *, mg_handler_t handler);
Sets a request handler. When set, `
handler
` will be called for each request.
Possible return values from a handler function are `
MG_REQUEST_NOT_PROCESSED
`,
`
MG_REQUEST_PROCESSED
` and `
MG_REQUEST_CALL_AGAIN
`. If handler returns
`
MG_REQUEST_NOT_PROCESSED
`, mongoose will proceed with handling the request.
If handler returns `
MG_REQUEST_PROCESSED
`, that signals mongoose that handler
has already processed the connection, and mongoose will skip to the next
request. `
MG_REQUEST_CALL_AGAIN
` tells mongoose to call request handler
again and again on each `
mg_poll_server()
` iteration.
When mongoose buffers in HTTP request and successfully parses it, it calls
appropriate URI handler immediately for GET requests. For POST requests,
mutex-protect
`struct mg_server *`
, therefore only single thread
(Mongoose thread) should make Mongoose calls.
`mg_poll_server()`
calls user-specified event handler when certain events
occur. Sequence of events for the accepted connection is this:
*
`MG_AUTH`
- Mongoose asks whether this connection is authorized. If event
handler returns
`MG_FALSE`
, then Mongoose does not serve the request but
sends authorization request to the client. If
`MG_TRUE`
is returned,
then Mongoose continues on with the request.
*
`MG_REQUEST`
- Mongoose asks event handler to serve the request. If
event handler serves the request by sending a reply,
it should return
`MG_TRUE`
. Otherwise,
it should return
`MG_FALSE`
which tells Mongoose that request is not
served and Mongoose should serve it. For example, event handler might
choose to serve only RESTful API requests with URIs that start with
certain prefix, and let Mongoose serve all static files.
If event handler decides to serve the request, but doesn't have
all the data at the moment, it should return
`MG_MORE`
. That tells
Mongoose to send
`MG_POLL`
events on each iteration of
`mg_poll_server()`
`mg_connection::connection_param` pointer is a placeholder to keep
user-specific data. For example, handler could decide to open a DB
connection and store DB connection handle in `connection_param`.
*
`MG_POLL`
is sent only to those connections which returned
`MG_MORE`
.
Event handler should try to complete the reply. If reply is completed,
then event handler should return
`MG_TRUE`
. Otherwise, it should
return
`MG_FALSE`
, and polling will continue until
handler returns
`MG_TRUE`
.
*
`MG_HTTP_ERROR`
sent when Mongoose is about to send HTTP error back
to the client. Event handler can choose to send a reply itself, in which
case event handler must return
`MG_TRUE`
. Otherwise, event handler must
return
`MG_FALSE`
*
`MG_CLOSE`
is sent when the connection is closed. This event is used
to cleanup per-connection state stored in
`connection_param`
if it was allocated.
Sequence of events for the client connection is this:
*
`MG_CONNECT`
sent when Mongoose has connected to the remote host.
This event is sent to the connection initiated by
`mg_connect()`
call.
Connection status is held in
`mg_connection::status_code`
: if zero,
then connection was successful, otherwise connection was not established.
User should send a request upon successful connection.
*
`MG_REPLY`
is sent when response has been received from the remote host.
*
`MG_CLOSE`
same as for the accepted connection.
When mongoose buffers in HTTP request and successfully parses it, it sends
`MG_REQUEST`
event for GET requests immediately. For POST requests,
Mongoose delays the call until the whole POST request is buffered in memory.
POST data is available to the callback as
`struct mg_connection::content`
,
and POST data length is in
`struct mg_connection::content_len`
.
Note that websocket connections are treated the same way. Mongoose buffers
websocket frame in memory, and calls
