                                      guint status_code,
                                      GCallback callback,
                                      gpointer user_data);

Adds a signal handler to msg for signal , as with g_signal_connect(), but the callback will only be run if msg has the status status_code .

signal must be a signal that will be emitted after msg 's status is set (this means it can't be a "wrote" signal).

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_CONTENT_SNIFFER for feature_type will disable Content-Type sniffing on the message.

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.

soup_message_is_feature_disabled ()

gboolean
soup_message_is_feature_disabled (SoupMessage *msg,
                                  GType feature_type);

void
soup_message_set_priority (SoupMessage *msg,

Sets the priority of a message. Note that this won't have any effect unless used before the message is added to the session's message processing queue.

The message will be placed just before any other previously added message with lower priority (messages with the same priority are processed on a FIFO basis).

Setting priorities does not currently work with synchronous messages because in the synchronous/blocking case, priority ends up being determined semi-randomly by thread scheduling.

soup_message_get_site_for_cookies ()

GUri *
soup_message_get_site_for_cookies (SoupMessage *msg);

Gets msg 's site for cookies GUri

soup_message_set_site_for_cookies ()

                                   GUri *site_for_cookies);

Sets site_for_cookies as the policy URL for same-site cookies for msg .

It is either the URL of the top-level document or NULL depending on whether the registrable domain of this document's URL matches the registrable domain of its parent's/opener's URL. For the top-level document it is set to the document's URL.

See the same-site spec for more information.

soup_message_get_is_top_level_navigation ()

See the same-site spec for more information.

soup_message_get_metrics ()

SoupMessageMetrics *
soup_message_get_metrics (SoupMessage *msg);

Get the SoupMessageMetrics of msg . If the flag SOUP_MESSAGE_COLLECT_METRICS is not enabled for msg this will return NULL.

SoupMessage

typedef struct _SoupMessage SoupMessage;

Represents an HTTP message being sent or received.

status_code will normally be a SoupStatus value, 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.

               GTlsCertificateFlags tls_peer_errors,
               gpointer             user_data)

Flags: Run Last

The “authenticate” signal

gboolean
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               SoupAuth    *auth,
               gboolean     retrying,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted when the message requires authentication. If credentials are available call soup_auth_authenticate() on auth . If these credentials fail, the signal will be emitted again, with retrying set to TRUE, which will continue until you return without calling soup_auth_authenticate() on auth .

Note that this may be emitted before msg 's body has been fully read.

You can authenticate auth asynchronously by calling g_object_ref() on auth and returning TRUE. The operation will complete once either soup_auth_authenticate() or soup_auth_cancel() are called.

Flags: Run Last

The “content-sniffed” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               char        *type,
               GHashTable  *params,
               gpointer     user_data)

This signal is emitted after “got-headers”. 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.

Flags: Run First

The “finished” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted when all HTTP processing is finished for a message. (After “got_body”).

Flags: Run First

The “got-body” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted after receiving the complete message request body.

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.

Flags: Run First

The “got-headers” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted after receiving the Status-Line and response 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_headers” handler, so that the existing HTTP connection can be reused.)

Flags: Run First

The “got-informational” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

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.

Flags: Run First

The “hsts-enforced” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted when SoupHSTSEnforcer has upgraded the protocol for msg to HTTPS as a result of matching its domain with a HSTS policy.

Flags: Run Last

The “network-event” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage       *msg,
               GSocketClientEvent event,
               GIOStream         *connection,
               gpointer           user_data)

Emitted to indicate that some network-related event related to msg has occurred. This essentially proxies the “event” signal, but only for events that occur while msg "owns" the connection; if msg is sent on an existing persistent connection, then this signal will not be emitted. (If you want to force the message to be sent on a new connection, set the SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag on it.)

See “event” for more information on what the different values of event correspond to, and what connection will be in each case.

Flags: Run First

The “restarted” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

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).

Flags: Run First

The “starting” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted just before a message is sent.

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               guint        chunk_size,
               gpointer     user_data)

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

Flags: Run First

The “wrote-headers” signal

void
user_function (SoupMessage *msg,
               gpointer     user_data)

Emitted immediately after writing the request headers for a message.
