Detailed Description

The Accept request-header field can be used to specify certain media types which are acceptable for the response.

Its syntax is defined in [H14.1, S20.1] as follows:

    Accept         = "Accept" ":" #( media-range [ accept-params ] )

    media-range    = ( "*" "/" "*"
                     | ( type "/" "*" )
                     | ( type "/" subtype ) ) *( ";" parameter )

    accept-params  = ";" "q" "=" qvalue *( accept-extension )

    accept-extension = ";" token [ "=" ( token | quoted-string ) ]

Define Documentation

#define MSG_ACCEPT_INIT

(

)

Initializer for an msg_accept_t structure.

A static msg_accept_t structure must be initialized with the MSG_ACCEPT_INIT() macro. For instance,

  msg_accept_t msg_accept = MSG_ACCEPT_INIT;

---

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct msg_accept_s msg_accept_t

The structure msg_accept_t contains representation of an Accept header.

The msg_accept_t is defined as follows:

 typedef struct msg_accept_s {
   msg_common_t        ac_common[1]; // Common fragment info
   msg_accept_t       *ac_next;      // Pointer to next Accept header
   char const         *ac_type;      // Pointer to type/subtype
   char const         *ac_subtype;   // Points after first slash in type
   msg_param_t const  *ac_params;    // List of parameters
   msg_param_t         ac_q;         // Value of q parameter
 } msg_accept_t;

Function Documentation

msg_accept_t * msg_accept_copy	(	su_home_t *	home,
		msg_accept_t const *	header
	)			[inline]

Copy an msg_accept_t header structure.

The function msg_accept_copy() copies a header structure header. If the header structure header contains a reference (header->h_next) to a list of headers, all the headers in that list are copied, too. The function uses given memory home to allocate all the memory areas used to copy the header structure header.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new structure
	header	pointer to the header structure to be duplicated

When copying, only the header structure and parameter lists attached to it are duplicated. The new header structure retains all the references to the strings within the old header, including the encoding of the old header, if present.

Example

   accept = msg_accept_copy(home, msg->msg_accept);

Returns:

The function msg_accept_copy() returns a pointer to newly copied header structure, or NULL upon an error.

msg_accept_t * msg_accept_dup	(	su_home_t *	home,
		msg_accept_t const *	header
	)			[inline]

Duplicate (deep copy) msg_accept_t.

The function msg_accept_dup() duplicates a header structure header. If the header structure header contains a reference (header->x_next) to a list of headers, all the headers in the list are duplicated, too.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new structure
	header	header structure to be duplicated

When duplicating, all parameter lists and non-constant strings attached to the header are copied, too. The function uses given memory home to allocate all the memory areas used to copy the header.

Example

   accept = msg_accept_dup(home, msg->msg_accept);

Returns:

The function msg_accept_dup() returns a pointer to the newly duplicated msg_accept_t header structure, or NULL upon an error.

msg_accept_t * msg_accept_format	(	su_home_t *	home,
		char const *	fmt,
			...
	)			[inline]

Make a Accept header from formatting result.

The function msg_accept_format() makes a new Accept header object using snprintf-formatted result as its value. The function first prints the arguments according to the format fmt specified. Then it allocates a new header structure, and uses the formatting result as the header value.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new header structure.
	fmt	string used as a printf()-style format
	...	argument list for format

Note:

This function may be implemented as a macro calling msg_header_format().

Returns:

The function msg_accept_format() returns a pointer to newly makes header structure, or NULL upon an error.

msg_accept_t* msg_accept_init

(

msg_accept_t

x[1]

)

[inline]

Initialize an msg_accept_t structure.

An msg_accept_t structure can be initialized with the msg_accept_init() function/macro. For instance,

  msg_accept_t msg_accept;

  msg_accept_init(&msg_accept);

Parameters:

x

pointer to msg_accept_t structure

msg_accept_t* msg_accept_make	(	su_home_t *	home,
		char const *	s
	)			[inline]

Make a header structure msg_accept_t.

The function msg_accept_make() makes a new msg_accept_t header structure. It allocates a new header structure, and decodes the string s as the value of the structure.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new header structure.
	s	string to be decoded as value of the new header structure

Note:

This function may be implemented as a macro calling msg_header_make().

Returns:

The function msg_accept_make() returns a pointer to newly maked msg_accept_t header structure, or NULL upon an error.

int msg_is_accept

(

msg_header_t const *

header

)

[inline]

Test if header object is an instance of msg_accept_t.

The function msg_is_accept() returns true (nonzero) if the header class is an instance of Accept header object and false (zero) otherwise.

Parameters:

header

pointer to the header structure to be tested

Returns:

The function msg_is_accept() returns true (nonzero) if the header object is an instance of header Accept header and false (zero) otherwise.

Variable Documentation

msg_hclass_t msg_accept_class[]

Header class for Accept header.

The header class msg_accept_class defines how a Accept header header is parsed and printed. It also contains methods used by message parser and other functions to manipulate the msg_accept_t header structure.
