The abstract base class for handling authentication.
Specific HTTP Authentication mechanisms are implemented by its subclasses,
but applications never need to be aware of the specific subclasses being
used.
#SoupAuth objects store the authentication data associated with a given bit
of web space. They are created automatically by [class@Session].
Creates a new #SoupAuth of type @type with the information from
@msg and @auth_header.

support for it, call [method@Session.remove_feature_by_type]
passing %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST.
Server-side authentication.
A #SoupAuthDomain manages authentication for all or part of a
[class@Server]. To make a server require authentication, first create
an appropriate subclass of #SoupAuthDomain, and then add it to the
server with [method@Server.add_auth_domain].
In order for an auth domain to have any effect, you must add one or more
paths to it (via [method@AuthDomain.add_path]). To require authentication for
all ordinary requests, add the path `"/"`. (Note that this does not include
the special `"*"` URI (eg, "OPTIONS *"), which must be added as a separate
path if you want to cover it.)
If you need greater control over which requests should and shouldn't be
authenticated, add paths covering everything you *might* want authenticated,
and then use a filter ([method@AuthDomain.set_filter] to bypass
authentication for those requests that don't need it.
Adds a "WWW-Authenticate" or "Proxy-Authenticate" header to @msg.
It requests that the client authenticate, and sets @msg's status accordingly.
This is used by [class@Server] internally and is probably of no use to
anyone else.
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
Checks if @msg authenticates to @domain via @username and
@password.
This would normally be called from a
[callback@AuthDomainGenericAuthCallback].
whether or not the message is authenticated
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
a username
a password
Checks if @msg contains appropriate authorization for @domain to
accept it.
Mirroring [method@AuthDomain.covers], this does not check whether or not
@domain *cares* if @msg is authorized.
This is used by [class@Server] internally and is probably of no use to
anyone else.
the username that @msg has authenticated
as, if in fact it has authenticated. %NULL otherwise.
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
Adds @path to @domain.
Requests under @path on @domain's server will require authentication (unless
overridden by [method@AuthDomain.remove_path] or
[method@AuthDomain.set_filter]).
a #SoupAuthDomain
the path to add to @domain
Adds a "WWW-Authenticate" or "Proxy-Authenticate" header to @msg.
It requests that the client authenticate, and sets @msg's status accordingly.
This is used by [class@Server] internally and is probably of no use to
anyone else.
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
Checks if @msg authenticates to @domain via @username and
@password.
This would normally be called from a
[callback@AuthDomainGenericAuthCallback].
whether or not the message is authenticated
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
a username
a password
Checks if @domain requires @msg to be authenticated (according to
its paths and filter function).
This does not actually look at whether @msg *is* authenticated, merely
whether or not it needs to be.
This is used by [class@Server] internally and is probably of no use to
anyone else.
%TRUE if @domain requires @msg to be authenticated
a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
Gets the realm name associated with @domain.
@domain's realm
a #SoupAuthDomain
Removes @path from @domain.
Requests under @path on @domain's server will NOT require
authentication.
This is not simply an undo-er for [method@AuthDomain.add_path]; it
can be used to "carve out" a subtree that does not require
authentication inside a hierarchy that does. Note also that unlike
with [method@AuthDomain.add_path], this cannot be overridden by
adding a filter, as filters can only bypass authentication that
would otherwise be required, not require it where it would
otherwise be unnecessary.
a #SoupAuthDomain
the path to remove from @domain
Adds @filter as an authentication filter to @domain.
The filter gets a chance to bypass authentication for certain requests that
would otherwise require it. Eg, it might check the message's path in some way
that is too complicated to do via the other methods, or it might check the
message's method, and allow GETs but not PUTs.
The filter function returns %TRUE if the request should still
require authentication, or %FALSE if authentication is unnecessary
for this request.
To help prevent security holes, your filter should return %TRUE by
default, and only return %FALSE under specifically-tested
circumstances, rather than the other way around. Eg, in the example
above, where you want to authenticate PUTs but not GETs, you should
check if the method is GET and return %FALSE in that case, and then
return %TRUE for all other methods (rather than returning %TRUE for
PUT and %FALSE for all other methods). This way if it turned out
(now or later) that some paths supported additional methods besides
GET and PUT, those methods would default to being NOT allowed for
unauthenticated users.
You can also set the filter by setting the SoupAuthDomain:filter
and [property@AuthDomain:filter-data properties], which can also be
used to set the filter at construct time.
a #SoupAuthDomain
the auth filter for @domain
data to pass to @filter
destroy notifier to free @filter_data when @domain
is destroyed
Sets @auth_callback as an authentication-handling callback for @domain.
Whenever a request comes in to @domain which cannot be authenticated via a
domain-specific auth callback (eg, [callback@AuthDomainDigestAuthCallback]),
the generic auth callback will be invoked. See
[callback@AuthDomainGenericAuthCallback] for information on what the callback
should do.

Server-side "Basic" authentication.
#SoupAuthDomainBasic handles the server side of HTTP "Basic" (ie,
cleartext password) authentication.
Creates a #SoupAuthDomainBasic.
You must set the [property@AuthDomain:realm] property, to indicate the realm
name to be returned with the authentication challenge to the client. Other
parameters are optional.
the new #SoupAuthDomain
name of first option, or %NULL
option name/value pairs
Sets the callback that @domain will use to authenticate incoming
requests.
For each request containing authorization, @domain will invoke the callback,
and then either accept or reject the request based on @callback's return
value.
You can also set the auth callback by setting the
[property@AuthDomainBasic:auth-callback] and
[property@AuthDomainBasic:auth-data] properties, which can also be used to
set the callback at construct time.

Callback used by #SoupAuthDomainBasic for authentication purposes.
The application should verify that @username and @password and valid
and return %TRUE or %FALSE.
If you are maintaining your own password database (rather than
using the password to authenticate against some other system like
PAM or a remote server), you should make sure you know what you are
doing. In particular, don't store cleartext passwords, or
easily-computed hashes of cleartext passwords, even if you don't
care that much about the security of your server, because users
will frequently use the same password for multiple sites, and so
compromising any site with a cleartext (or easily-cracked) password
database may give attackers access to other more-interesting sites
as well.

Server-side "Digest" authentication.
#SoupAuthDomainDigest handles the server side of HTTP "Digest"
authentication.
Creates a #SoupAuthDomainDigest.
You must set the [property@AuthDomain:realm] property, to indicate the realm name to
be returned with the authentication challenge to the client. Other parameters
are optional.
the new #SoupAuthDomain
name of first option, or %NULL
option name/value pairs
Encodes the username/realm/password triplet for Digest
authentication.
That is, it returns a stringified MD5 hash of
@username, @realm, and @password concatenated together. This is
the form that is needed as the return value of
#SoupAuthDomainDigest's auth handler.
For security reasons, you should store the encoded hash, rather
than storing the cleartext password itself and calling this method
only when you need to verify it. This way, if your server is
compromised, the attackers will not gain access to cleartext
passwords which might also be usable at other sites. (Note also
that the encoded password returned by this method is identical to
the encoded password stored in an Apache .htdigest file.)
the encoded password
a username
an auth realm name
the password for @username in @realm
Sets the callback that @domain will use to authenticate incoming
requests.
For each request containing authorization, @domain will
invoke the callback, and then either accept or reject the request
based on @callback's return value.
You can also set the auth callback by setting the
[property@AuthDomainDigest:auth-callback] and
[property@AuthDomainDigest:auth-data] properties, which can also be used to
set the callback at construct time.

a #SoupAuthDomain
a #SoupServerMessage
the data passed to [method@AuthDomain.set_filter]
The prototype for a #SoupAuthDomain generic authentication callback.
The callback should look up the user's password, call
[method@AuthDomain.check_password], and use the return value from that method
as its own return value.
In general, for security reasons, it is preferable to use the
auth-domain-specific auth callbacks (eg,
[callback@AuthDomainBasicAuthCallback] and
[callback@AuthDomainDigestAuthCallback]), because they don't require
keeping a cleartext password database. Most users will use the same
password for many different sites, meaning if any site with a
cleartext password database is compromised, accounts on other
servers might be compromised as well. For many of the cases where
[class@Server] is used, this is not really relevant, but it may still
be worth considering.

HTTP client-side authentication handler.
#SoupAuthManager is the [iface@SessionFeature] that handles HTTP
authentication for a [class@Session].
A #SoupAuthManager is added to the session by default, and normally
you don't need to worry about it at all. However, if you want to
disable HTTP authentication, you can remove the feature from the
session with [method@Session.remove_feature_by_type] or disable it on
individual requests with [method@Message.disable_feature].
You can use this with [method@Session.remove_feature_by_type] or
[method@Message.disable_feature].
(Although this type has only been publicly visible since libsoup 2.42, it has
always existed in the background, and you can use `g_type_from_name
("SoupAuthManager")` to get its [alias@GLib.Type] in earlier releases.)
Clear all credentials cached by @manager.
a #SoupAuthManager
Records that @auth is to be used under @uri, as though a
WWW-Authenticate header had been received at that URI.
This can be used to "preload" @manager's auth cache, to avoid an extra HTTP
round trip in the case where you know ahead of time that a 401 response will
be returned.
This is only useful for authentication types where the initial
Authorization header does not depend on any additional information
from the server. (Eg, Basic or NTLM, but not Digest.)
a #SoupAuthManager

[class@Session]s do not support this type by default; if you want to
enable support for it, call [method@Session.add_feature_by_type],
passing %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM.
HTTP-based GSS-Negotiate authentication, as defined by
[RFC 4559](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4559).
[class@Session]s do not support this type by default; if you want to
enable support for it, call [method@Session.add_feature_by_type],
passing %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NEGOTIATE.
This auth type will only work if libsoup was compiled with GSSAPI
support; you can check [func@AuthNegotiate.supported] to see if it
was.
Indicates whether libsoup was built with GSSAPI support.
If this is %FALSE, %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NEGOTIATE will still be defined and can
still be added to a [class@Session], but libsoup will never attempt to
actually use this auth type.
%TRUE if supported otherwise %FALSE
Macro to test the version of libsoup being compiled against.
Returns %TRUE if the version of the libsoup header files
is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.

Creates a new #SoupCache.
a new #SoupCache

multiple processes at once, and the default directory isn't namespaced by
process, clients are strongly discouraged from passing %NULL.

Handles decoding of HTTP messages.
#SoupContentDecoder handles adding the "Accept-Encoding" header on
outgoing messages, and processing the "Content-Encoding" header on
incoming ones. Currently it supports the "gzip", "deflate", and "br"
content codings.
A #SoupContentDecoder will automatically be
added to the session by default. (You can use
[method@Session.remove_feature_by_type] if you don't
want this.)
If #SoupContentDecoder successfully decodes the Content-Encoding,
the message body will contain the decoded data; however, the message headers
will be unchanged (and so "Content-Encoding" will still be present,
"Content-Length" will describe the original encoded length, etc).
If "Content-Encoding" contains any encoding types that
#SoupContentDecoder doesn't recognize, then none of the encodings
will be decoded.
(Note that currently there is no way to (automatically) use
Content-Encoding when sending a request body, or to pick specific
encoding types to support.)
Sniffs the mime type of messages.
A #SoupContentSniffer tries to detect the actual content type of
the files that are being downloaded by looking at some of the data
before the [class@Message] emits its [signal@Message::got-headers] signal.
#SoupContentSniffer implements [iface@SessionFeature], so you can add
content sniffing to a session with [method@Session.add_feature] or
[method@Session.add_feature_by_type].
Creates a new #SoupContentSniffer.
a new #SoupContentSniffer
Sniffs @buffer to determine its Content-Type.
The result may also be influenced by the Content-Type declared in @msg's

Implements HTTP cookies, as described by
[RFC 6265](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265.txt).
To have a [class@Session] handle cookies for your appliction
automatically, use a [class@CookieJar].
@name and @value will be set for all cookies. If the cookie is
generated from a string that appears to have no name, then @name
will be the empty string.
@domain and @path give the host or domain, and path within that
host/domain, to restrict this cookie to. If @domain starts with
".", that indicates a domain (which matches the string after the
".", or any hostname that has @domain as a suffix). Otherwise, it
is a hostname and must match exactly.
@expires will be non-%NULL if the cookie uses either the original
"expires" attribute, or the newer "max-age" attribute. If @expires
is %NULL, it indicates that neither "expires" nor "max-age" was
specified, and the cookie expires at the end of the session.
If @http_only is set, the cookie should not be exposed to untrusted
code (eg, javascript), so as to minimize the danger posed by
cross-site scripting attacks.
Creates a new #SoupCookie with the given attributes.
Use [method@Cookie.set_secure] and [method@Cookie.set_http_only] if you
need to set those attributes on the returned cookie.
If @domain starts with ".", that indicates a domain (which matches
the string after the ".", or any hostname that has @domain as a
suffix). Otherwise, it is a hostname and must match exactly.
@max_age is used to set the "expires" attribute on the cookie; pass
-1 to not include the attribute (indicating that the cookie expires
with the current session), 0 for an already-expired cookie, or a
lifetime in seconds. You can use the constants
%SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_HOUR, %SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_DAY,
%SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_WEEK and %SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_YEAR (or
multiples thereof) to calculate this value. (If you really care
about setting the exact time that the cookie will expire, use
[method@Cookie.set_expires].)
As of version 3.4.0 the default value of a cookie's same-site-policy
is %SOUP_SAME_SITE_POLICY_LAX.

If %TRUE, @cookie will be marked as "http only", meaning it should not be
exposed to web page scripts or other untrusted code.
a #SoupCookie
the new value for the HttpOnly attribute
Sets @cookie's max age to @max_age.
If @max_age is -1, the cookie is a session cookie, and will expire at the end
of the client's session. Otherwise, it is the number of seconds until the
cookie expires. You can use the constants %SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_HOUR,
%SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_DAY, %SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_WEEK and
%SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_YEAR (or multiples thereof) to calculate this value.
(A value of 0 indicates that the cookie should be considered
already-expired.)
This sets the same property as [method@Cookie.set_expires].

Parses @header and returns a #SoupCookie.
If @header contains multiple cookies, only the first one will be parsed.
If @header does not have "path" or "domain" attributes, they will
be defaulted from @origin. If @origin is %NULL, path will default
to "/", but domain will be left as %NULL. Note that this is not a
valid state for a #SoupCookie, and you will need to fill in some
appropriate string for the domain if you want to actually make use
of the cookie.
As of version 3.4.0 the default value of a cookie's same-site-policy
is %SOUP_SAME_SITE_POLICY_LAX.

Automatic cookie handling for SoupSession.
A #SoupCookieJar stores [struct@Cookie]s and arrange for them to be sent with
the appropriate [class@Message]s. #SoupCookieJar implements
[iface@SessionFeature], so you can add a cookie jar to a session with
[method@Session.add_feature] or [method@Session.add_feature_by_type].
Note that the base #SoupCookieJar class does not support any form
of long-term cookie persistence.

loaded, accept all cookies set by example.com, but if a resource from
http://www.third-party.com is loaded from that page reject any cookie that
it could try to set. For libsoup to be able to tell apart first party
cookies from the rest, the application must call
[method@Message.set_first_party] on each outgoing [class@Message], setting
the [struct@GLib.Uri] of the main document. If no first party is set in a
message when this policy is in effect, cookies will be assumed to be third
party by default.
accept all cookies set by
the main document loaded in the application using libsoup, and from domains
that have previously set at least one cookie when loaded as the main
document. An example of the most common case, web browsers, would be: if
http://www.example.com is the page loaded, accept all cookies set by
example.com, but if a resource from http://www.third-party.com is loaded
from that page, reject any cookie that it could try to set unless it
already has a cookie in the cookie jar. For libsoup to be able to tell
apart first party cookies from the rest, the application must call
[method@Message.set_first_party] on each outgoing #SoupMessage, setting the

(This is identical to `SoupCookieJarSqlite` in
libsoup-gnome; it has just been moved into libsoup proper, and
renamed to avoid conflicting.)
Creates a #SoupCookieJarDB.
@filename will be read in at startup to create an initial set of cookies. If
@read_only is %FALSE, then the non-session cookies will be written to

Automatic HTTP Strict Transport Security enforcing for [class@Session].
A #SoupHSTSEnforcer stores HSTS policies and enforces them when
required. #SoupHSTSEnforcer implements [iface@SessionFeature], so you
can add an HSTS enforcer to a session with
[method@Session.add_feature] or [method@Session.add_feature_by_type].
#SoupHSTSEnforcer keeps track of all the HTTPS destinations that,
when connected to, return the Strict-Transport-Security header with
valid values. #SoupHSTSEnforcer will forget those destinations
upon expiry or when the server requests it.
When the [class@Session] the #SoupHSTSEnforcer is attached to queues or
restarts a message, the #SoupHSTSEnforcer will rewrite the URI to HTTPS if
the destination is a known HSTS host and is contacted over an insecure
transport protocol (HTTP). Users of #SoupHSTSEnforcer are advised to listen
to changes in the [property@Message:uri] property in order to be aware of
changes in the message URI.
Note that #SoupHSTSEnforcer does not support any form of long-term
HSTS policy persistence. See [class@HSTSEnforcerDB] for a persistent
enforcer.
Creates a new #SoupHSTSEnforcer.
The base #SoupHSTSEnforcer class does not support persistent storage of HSTS
policies, see [class@HSTSEnforcerDB] for that.

#SoupHSTSEnforcerDB will be written to @filename when
[signal@HSTSEnforcer::changed] is emitted.
the new #SoupHSTSEnforcer

The filename of the SQLite database where HSTS policies are stored.
#SoupHSTSPolicy implements HTTP policies, as described by
[RFC 6797](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6797).
@domain represents the host that this policy applies to. The domain
must be IDNA-canonicalized. [ctor@HSTSPolicy.new] and related methods
will do this for you.
@max_age contains the 'max-age' value from the Strict Transport
Security header and indicates the time to live of this policy,
in seconds.
@expires will be non-%NULL if the policy has been set by the host and
hence has an expiry time. If @expires is %NULL, it indicates that the
policy is a permanent session policy set by the user agent.
If @include_subdomains is %TRUE, the Strict Transport Security policy
must also be enforced on subdomains of @domain.
Creates a new #SoupHSTSPolicy with the given attributes.
@domain is a domain on which the strict transport security policy

Debug logging support
#SoupLogger watches a [class@Session] and logs the HTTP traffic that
it generates, for debugging purposes. Many applications use an
environment variable to determine whether or not to use
#SoupLogger, and to determine the amount of debugging output.
To use #SoupLogger, first create a logger with [ctor@Logger.new], optionally
configure it with [method@Logger.set_request_filter],
[method@Logger.set_response_filter], and [method@Logger.set_printer], and
then attach it to a session (or multiple sessions) with
[method@Session.add_feature].
By default, the debugging output is sent to `stdout`, and looks something
like:
```
> POST /unauth HTTP/1.1
> Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1200171744
> Soup-Debug: SoupSession 1 (0x612190), SoupMessage 1 (0x617000), GSocket 1 (0x612220)
> Host: localhost
> Content-Type: text/plain
> Connection: close
< HTTP/1.1 201 Created
< Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1200171744
< Soup-Debug: SoupMessage 1 (0x617000)
< Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2008 21:02:24 GMT
< Content-Length: 0
```
The `Soup-Debug-Timestamp` line gives the time (as a `time_t`) when the
request was sent, or the response fully received.
The `Soup-Debug` line gives further debugging information about the
[class@Session], [class@Message], and [class@Gio.Socket] involved; the hex
numbers are the addresses of the objects in question (which may be useful if
you are running in a debugger). The decimal IDs are simply counters that
uniquely identify objects across the lifetime of the #SoupLogger. In
particular, this can be used to identify when multiple messages are sent
across the same connection.
Currently, the request half of the message is logged just before
the first byte of the request gets written to the network (from the
[signal@Message::starting] signal).
The response is logged just after the last byte of the response body is read
from the network (from the [signal@Message::got-body] or
[signal@Message::got-informational] signal), which means that the
[signal@Message::got-headers] signal, and anything triggered off it (such as
#SoupMessage::authenticate) will be emitted *before* the response headers are
actually logged.
If the response doesn't happen to trigger the [signal@Message::got-body] nor
[signal@Message::got-informational] signals due to, for example, a
cancellation before receiving the last byte of the response body, the
response will still be logged on the event of the [signal@Message::finished]
signal.
Creates a new #SoupLogger with the given debug level.
If you need finer control over what message parts are and aren't
logged, use [method@Logger.set_request_filter] and
[method@Logger.set_response_filter].

libsoup will copy it into new memory leaving the caller free
to reuse the original memory.
Represents an HTTP message being sent or received.
A #SoupMessage represents an HTTP message that is being sent or
received.
You would create a #SoupMessage with [ctor@Message.new] or
[ctor@Message.new_from_uri], set up its fields appropriately, and send it.
[property@Message:status-code] will normally be a [enum@Status] value, eg,
%SOUP_STATUS_OK, though of course it might actually be an unknown status
code. [property@Message: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
[property@Message:reason-phrase] in user-visible messages. Rather, you should
look at [property@Message:status-code], and determine an end-user-appropriate
message based on that and on what you were trying to do.
Note that libsoup's terminology here does not quite match the HTTP
specification: in RFC 2616, an "HTTP-message" is *either* a Request, *or* a
Response. In libsoup, a #SoupMessage combines both the request and the
response.
Creates a new empty #SoupMessage, which will connect to @uri.
the new #SoupMessage (or %NULL if @uri
could not be parsed).
the HTTP method for the created request
the destination endpoint (as a string)
Creates a new #SoupMessage and sets it up to send the given @encoded_form
to @uri via @method. If @method is "GET", it will include the form data
into @uri's query field, and if @method is "POST" or "PUT", it will be set as
request body.
This function takes the ownership of @encoded_form, that will be released
with [func@GLib.free] when no longer in use. See also [func@form_encode],
[func@form_encode_hash] and [func@form_encode_datalist].
the new #SoupMessage, or %NULL if
@uri_string could not be parsed or @method is not "GET, "POST" or "PUT"

Creates a new #SoupMessage to send `OPTIONS *` to a server. The path of
@base_uri will be ignored.
the new #SoupMessage

Adds @flags to the set of @msg's flags.
a #SoupMessage
a set of #SoupMessageFlags values
Adds a signal handler to @msg for @signal.
Similar to [func@GObject.signal_connect], but the @callback will only be run
if @msg's incoming messages headers (that is, the `request_headers`) contain
a header named @header.
the handler ID from [func@GObject.signal_connect]
a #SoupMessage
signal to connect the handler to.
HTTP response header to match against
the header handler
data to pass to @handler_cb
Adds a signal handler to @msg for @signal.
Similar to [func@GObject.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).
the handler ID from [func@GObject.signal_connect]
a #SoupMessage
signal to connect the handler to.
status code to match against
the header handler
data to pass to @handler_cb
Disables the actions of [iface@SessionFeature]s with the
given @feature_type (or a subclass of that type) on @msg.
@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.

Get the remote [class@Gio.SocketAddress] of the connection associated with
the message.
The returned address can be %NULL if the connection hasn't been established
yet, or the resource was loaded from the disk cache. In case of proxy
connections, the remote address returned is a [class@Gio.ProxyAddress]. If
[property@Session:remote-connectable] is set the returned address id for the
connection to the session's remote connectable.

Sets whether the current request is a top-level navitation.
See the [same-site spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site-00)
for more information.
a #SoupMessage
if %TRUE indicate the current request is a top-level navigation
Set @msg's HTTP method to @method.
a #SoupMessage
the value to set
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.
a #SoupMessage
the #SoupMessagePriority
Set the request body of a #SoupMessage.
If @content_type is %NULL and @stream is not %NULL the Content-Type header will

a #GBytes with the request body data
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](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site-00)
for more information.
a #SoupMessage
the #GUri for the @msg's site for cookies
Sets the @certificate to be used by @msg's connection when a
client certificate is requested during the TLS handshake.
You can call this as a response to [signal@Message::request-certificate]
signal, or before the connection is started. If @certificate is %NULL
the handshake will continue without providing a GTlsCertificate.
Note that the [class@Gio.TlsCertificate] set by this function will be ignored if
[property@Session:tls-interaction] is not %NULL.
a #SoupMessage
the #GTlsCertificate to set, or %NULL
Sets @msg's URI to @uri.
If @msg has already been sent and you want to re-send it with the new URI,
you need to send it again.
a #SoupMessage

queued.
Various message options.
The HTTP protocol version to use.
Whether the message is an OPTIONS ping.
The #SoupMessage is intended to be used to send
`OPTIONS *` to a server. When set to %TRUE, the
path of [property@Message:uri] will be ignored and
[property@Message:method] set to %SOUP_METHOD_OPTIONS.
Set when the message is navigating between top level domains.
The message's HTTP method.
Sets the priority of the #SoupMessage. See
[method@Message.set_priority] for further details.

with the message.
The HTTP request headers.
The HTTP response headers.
Site used to compare cookies against. Used for SameSite cookie support.
The HTTP response status code.
The Name of TLS ciphersuite negotiated for this message connection.
The peer's [class@Gio.TlsCertificate] associated with the message.
The verification errors on [property@Message:tls-peer-certificate].
The TLS protocol version negotiated for the message connection.
The message's Request-URI.
Emitted during the @msg's connection TLS handshake
after an unacceptable TLS certificate has been received.
You can return %TRUE to accept @tls_certificate despite
@tls_errors.
%TRUE to accept the TLS certificate and stop other
handlers from being invoked, or %FALSE to propagate the
event further.
the peer's #GTlsCertificate
the tls errors of @tls_certificate
Emitted when the message requires authentication.
If credentials are available call [method@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 [method@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
[method@GObject.Object.ref] on @auth and returning %TRUE. The operation will
complete once either [method@Auth.authenticate] or
[method@Auth.cancel] are called.
%TRUE to stop other handlers from being invoked
or %FALSE to propagate the event further.
the #SoupAuth to authenticate
%TRUE if this is the second (or later) attempt
This signal is emitted after [signal@Message::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 [signal@Message::got-headers], and @type is
%NULL.
the content type that we got from sniffing
a #GHashTable with the parameters
Emitted when all HTTP processing is finished for a message.
(After [signal@Message::got_body]).
Emitted after receiving the complete message response body.
Emitted after reading a portion of the message
body from the network.
the number of bytes read
Emitted after receiving the Status-Line and response headers.
See also [method@Message.add_header_handler] and
[method@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 [signal@Message::got-body] handler rather
than a [signal@Message::got_headers] handler, so that the
existing HTTP connection can be reused.)
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.
Emitted when [class@HSTSEnforcer] has upgraded the protocol
for @msg to HTTPS as a result of matching its domain with
a HSTS policy.
Emitted to indicate that some network-related event
related to @msg has occurred.
This essentially proxies the [signal@Gio.SocketClient::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 [signal@Gio.SocketClient::event] for more information on what
the different values of @event correspond to, and what
@connection will be in each case.
the network event
the current state of the network connection
Emitted during the @msg's connection TLS handshake when
@tls_connection requests a certificate from the client.
You can set the client certificate by calling
[method@Message.set_tls_client_certificate] and returning %TRUE. It's
possible to handle the request asynchornously by returning %TRUE and
call [method@Message.set_tls_client_certificate] later once the
certificate is available. Note that this signal is not emitted if
[property@Session:tls-interaction] was set, or if
[method@Message.set_tls_client_certificate] was called before the
connection TLS handshake started.
%TRUE to handle the request, or %FALSE to make the connection
fail with %G_TLS_ERROR_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED.
the #GTlsClientConnection
Emitted during the @msg's connection TLS handshake when
@tls_connection requests a certificate password from the client.
You can set the certificate password on @password, then call
[method@Message.tls_client_certificate_password_request_complete] and
return %TRUE to handle the signal synchronously. It's possible to
handle the request asynchornously by calling
[method@GObject.Object.ref] on @password, then returning %TRUE and
call
[method@Message.tls_client_certificate_password_request_complete]
later after setting the password on @password. Note that this signal
is not emitted if [property@Session:tls-interaction] was set.
%TRUE to handle the request, or %FALSE to make the connection
fail with %G_TLS_ERROR_CERTIFICATE_REQUIRED.
the #GTlsPassword
Emitted when a request that was already sent once is now
being sent again.
e.g. because the first attempt received a
redirection response, or because we needed to use
authentication.
Emitted just before a message is sent.
Emitted immediately after writing the complete body for a
message.
Emitted immediately after writing a portion of the message
body to the network.
the number of bytes written
Emitted immediately after writing the request headers for a
message.
#SoupMessageBody represents the request or response body of a
[class@Message].
Note that while @length always reflects the full length of the
message body, @data is normally %NULL, and will only be filled in
after [method@MessageBody.flatten] is called. For client-side
messages, this automatically happens for the response body after it
has been fully read. Likewise, for server-side
messages, the request body is automatically filled in after being
read.
As an added bonus, when @data is filled in, it is always terminated
with a `\0` byte (which is not reflected in @length).
the data
length of @data
Creates a new #SoupMessageBody.
[class@Message] uses this internally; you
will not normally need to call it yourself.
a new #SoupMessageBody.
Appends @length bytes from @data to @body according to @use.
a #SoupMessageBody
how to use @data
data to append
length of @data
Appends the data from @buffer to @body.
a #SoupMessageBody
a #GBytes
Appends @length bytes from @data to @body.
This function is exactly equivalent to [method@MessageBody.append]
with %SOUP_MEMORY_TAKE as second argument; it exists mainly for
convenience and simplifying language bindings.
a #SoupMessageBody
data to append
length of @data
Tags @body as being complete.
Call this when using chunked encoding after you have appended the last chunk.
a #SoupMessageBody
Fills in @body's data field with a buffer containing all of the
data in @body.
Adds an additional `\0` byte not counted by @body's
length field.
a #GBytes containing the same data as @body.
(You must [method@GLib.Bytes.unref] this if you do not want it.)
a #SoupMessageBody
Gets the accumulate flag on @body.
See [method@MessageBody.set_accumulate. for details.
the accumulate flag for @body.
a #SoupMessageBody
Gets a [struct@GLib.Bytes] containing data from @body starting at @offset.
The size of the returned chunk is unspecified. You can iterate
through the entire body by first calling
[method@MessageBody.get_chunk] with an offset of 0, and then on each
successive call, increment the offset by the length of the
previously-returned chunk.
If @offset is greater than or equal to the total length of @body,
then the return value depends on whether or not
[method@MessageBody.complete] has been called or not; if it has,
then [method@MessageBody.get_chunk] will return a 0-length chunk
(indicating the end of @body). If it has not, then
[method@MessageBody.get_chunk] will return %NULL (indicating that
@body may still potentially have more data, but that data is not
currently available).
a #GBytes
a #SoupMessageBody
an offset
Handles the #SoupMessageBody part of receiving a chunk of data from
the network.
Normally this means appending @chunk to @body, exactly as with
[method@MessageBody.append_bytes], but if you have set @body's accumulate
flag to %FALSE, then that will not happen.
This is a low-level method which you should not normally need to
use.
a #SoupMessageBody
a #GBytes received from the network
Atomically increments the reference count of @body by one.
the passed in #SoupMessageBody
a #SoupMessageBody
Sets or clears the accumulate flag on @body.
(The default value is %TRUE.) If set to %FALSE, @body's data field will not
be filled in after the body is fully sent/received, and the chunks that make
up @body may be discarded when they are no longer needed.
If you set the flag to %FALSE on the [class@Message] request_body of a
client-side message, it will block the accumulation of chunks into
@body's data field, but it will not normally cause the chunks to
be discarded after being written like in the server-side
[class@Message] response_body case, because the request body needs to
be kept around in case the request needs to be sent a second time
due to redirection or authentication.
a #SoupMessageBody
whether or not to accumulate body chunks in @body
Deletes all of the data in @body.
a #SoupMessageBody
Atomically decrements the reference count of @body by one.
When the reference count reaches zero, the resources allocated by
@body are freed
a #SoupMessageBody
Handles the #SoupMessageBody part of writing a chunk of data to the
network.
Normally this is a no-op, but if you have set @body's accumulate flag to
%FALSE, then this will cause @chunk to be discarded to free up memory.
This is a low-level method which you should not need to use, and
there are further restrictions on its proper use which are not
documented here.
a #SoupMessageBody
a #GBytes returned from [method@MessageBody.get_chunk]
Various flags that can be set on a #SoupMessage to alter its
behavior.
The session should not follow redirect
(3xx) responses received by this message.
Requests that the message should be
sent on a newly-created connection, not reusing an existing
persistent connection. Note that messages with non-idempotent
[property@Message:method]s behave this way by default, unless
#SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT is set.
The message is considered idempotent,
regardless its [property@Message:method], and allows reuse of existing
idle connections, instead of always requiring a new one, unless
#SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION is set.
The [class@AuthManager] should not use
the credentials cache for this message, neither to use cached credentials
to automatically authenticate this message nor to cache the credentials
after the message is successfully authenticated. This applies to both server
and proxy authentication. Note that [signal@Message::authenticate] signal will
be emitted, if you want to disable authentication for a message use
[method@Message.disable_feature] passing #SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_MANAGER instead.
Metrics will be collected for this message.
The HTTP message headers associated with a request or response.
Creates a #SoupMessageHeaders.
([class@Message] does this automatically for its own headers. You would only
need to use this method if you are manually parsing or generating message
headers.)
a new #SoupMessageHeaders
the type of headers
Appends a new header with name @name and value @value to @hdrs.
(If there is an existing header with name @name, then this creates a second
one, which is only allowed for list-valued headers; see also
[method@MessageHeaders.replace].)
The caller is expected to make sure that @name and @value are
syntactically correct.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
the header name to add
the new value of @name
Removes all the headers listed in the Connection header.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Clears @hdrs.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Calls @func once for each header value in @hdrs.
Beware that unlike [method@MessageHeaders.get_list], this processes the
headers in exactly the way they were added, rather than
concatenating multiple same-named headers into a single value.
(This is intentional; it ensures that if you call
[method@MessageHeaders.append] multiple times with the same name,
then the I/O code will output multiple copies of the header when
sending the message to the remote implementation, which may be
required for interoperability in some cases.)
You may not modify the headers from @func.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
callback function to run for each header
data to pass to @func
Frees the array of ranges returned from [method@MessageHeaders.get_ranges].
a #SoupMessageHeaders
an array of #SoupRange
Looks up the "Content-Disposition" header in @hdrs, parses it, and
returns its value in *@disposition and *@params.
@params can be %NULL if you are only interested in the disposition-type.
In HTTP, the most common use of this header is to set a
disposition-type of "attachment", to suggest to the browser that a
response should be saved to disk rather than displayed in the
browser. If @params contains a "filename" parameter, this is a
suggestion of a filename to use. (If the parameter value in the
header contains an absolute or relative path, libsoup will truncate
it down to just the final path component, so you do not need to
test this yourself.)
Content-Disposition is also used in "multipart/form-data", however
this is handled automatically by [struct@Multipart] and the associated
form methods.
%TRUE if @hdrs contains a "Content-Disposition"
header, %FALSE if not (in which case *@disposition and *@params
will be unchanged).
a #SoupMessageHeaders
return location for the
disposition-type, or %NULL
return
location for the Content-Disposition parameters, or %NULL
Gets the message body length that @hdrs declare.
This will only be non-0 if [method@MessageHeaders.get_encoding] returns
%SOUP_ENCODING_CONTENT_LENGTH.
the message body length declared by @hdrs.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Parses @hdrs's Content-Range header and returns it in @start,
@end, and @total_length. If the total length field in the header
was specified as "*", then @total_length will be set to -1.
%TRUE if @hdrs contained a "Content-Range" header
containing a byte range which could be parsed, %FALSE otherwise.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
return value for the start of the range
return value for the end of the range
return value for the total length of the
resource, or %NULL if you don't care.
Looks up the "Content-Type" header in @hdrs, parses it, and returns
its value in *@content_type and *@params.
@params can be %NULL if you are only interested in the content type itself.
a string with the value of the
"Content-Type" header or %NULL if @hdrs does not contain that
header or it cannot be parsed (in which case *@params will be
unchanged).
a #SoupMessageHeaders
return location for the Content-Type parameters (eg, "charset"), or
%NULL
Gets the message body encoding that @hdrs declare.
This may not always correspond to the encoding used on the wire; eg, a HEAD
response may declare a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding, but it will never
actually include a body.
the encoding declared by @hdrs.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Gets the expectations declared by @hdrs's "Expect" header.
Currently this will either be %SOUP_EXPECTATION_CONTINUE or
%SOUP_EXPECTATION_UNRECOGNIZED.
the contents of @hdrs's "Expect" header
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Gets the type of headers.
the header's type.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
Gets the value of header @name in @hdrs.
Use this for headers whose values are comma-delimited lists, and which are
therefore allowed to appear multiple times in the headers. For
non-list-valued headers, use [method@MessageHeaders.get_one].
If @name appears multiple times in @hdrs,
[method@MessageHeaders.get_list] will concatenate all of the values
together, separated by commas. This is sometimes awkward to parse
(eg, WWW-Authenticate, Set-Cookie), but you have to be able to deal
with it anyway, because the HTTP spec explicitly states that this
transformation is allowed, and so an upstream proxy could do the
same thing.
the header's value or %NULL if not found.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
header name
Gets the value of header @name in @hdrs.
Use this for headers whose values are *not* comma-delimited lists, and which
therefore can only appear at most once in the headers. For list-valued
headers, use [method@MessageHeaders.get_list].
If @hdrs does erroneously contain multiple copies of the header, it
is not defined which one will be returned. (Ideally, it will return
whichever one makes libsoup most compatible with other HTTP
implementations.)
the header's value or %NULL if not found.
a #SoupMessageHeaders
header name
Parses @hdrs's Range header and returns an array of the requested
byte ranges.
The returned array must be freed with [method@MessageHeaders.free_ranges].
If @total_length is non-0, its value will be used to adjust the
returned ranges to have explicit start and end values, and the
returned ranges will be sorted and non-overlapping. If
@total_length is 0, then some ranges may have an end value of -1,
as described under [struct@Range], and some of the ranges may be
redundant.
Beware that even if given a @total_length, this function does not
check that the ranges are satisfiable.
#SoupServer has built-in handling for range requests. If your
server handler returns a %SOUP_STATUS_OK response containing the
complete response body (rather than pausing the message and
returning some of the response body later), and there is a Range
header in the request, then libsoup will automatically convert the
response to a %SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response containing only
the range(s) requested by the client.
The only time you need to process the Range header yourself is if
either you need to stream the response body rather than returning
it all at once, or you do not already have the complete response
body available, and only want to generate the parts that were
actually requested by the client.

Sets the message body length that @hdrs will declare, and sets
@hdrs's encoding to %SOUP_ENCODING_CONTENT_LENGTH.
You do not normally need to call this; if @hdrs is set to use
Content-Length encoding, libsoup will automatically set its
Content-Length header for you immediately before sending the
headers. One situation in which this method is useful is when
generating the response to a HEAD request; Calling
[method@MessageHeaders.set_content_length] allows you to put the
correct content length into the response without needing to waste
memory by filling in a response body which won't actually be sent.
a #SoupMessageHeaders

Sets @hdrs's Content-Range header according to the given values.
(Note that @total_length is the total length of the entire resource

not normally need to call this function youself. See

Sets @hdrs's "Expect" header according to @expectations.
Currently %SOUP_EXPECTATION_CONTINUE is the only known expectation
value. You should set this value on a request if you are sending a
large message body (eg, via POST or PUT), and want to give the
server a chance to reject the request after seeing just the headers
(eg, because it will require authentication before allowing you to
post, or because you're POSTing to a URL that doesn't exist). This
saves you from having to transmit the large request body when the
server is just going to ignore it anyway.
a #SoupMessageHeaders

Contains metrics collected while loading a [class@Message] either from the
network or the disk cache.
Metrics are not collected by default for a [class@Message], you need to add the
flag %SOUP_MESSAGE_COLLECT_METRICS to enable the feature.
Temporal metrics are expressed as a monotonic time and always start with a
fetch start event and finish with response end. All other events are optional.
An event can be 0 because it hasn't happened yet, because it's optional or
because the load failed before the event reached.
Size metrics are expressed in bytes and are updated while the [class@Message] is
being loaded. You can connect to different [class@Message] signals to get the
final result of every value.

Represents a multipart HTTP message body, parsed according to the
syntax of RFC 2046.
Of particular interest to HTTP are `multipart/byte-ranges` and
`multipart/form-data`,
Although the headers of a #SoupMultipart body part will contain the
full headers from that body part, libsoup does not interpret them
according to MIME rules. For example, each body part is assumed to
have "binary" Content-Transfer-Encoding, even if its headers
explicitly state otherwise. In other words, don't try to use
#SoupMultipart for handling real MIME multiparts.
Creates a new empty #SoupMultipart with a randomly-generated

Handles streams of multipart messages.
This adds support for the multipart responses. For handling the
multiple parts the user needs to wrap the [class@Gio.InputStream] obtained by
sending the request with a [class@MultipartInputStream] and use
[method@MultipartInputStream.next_part] before reading. Responses
which are not wrapped will be treated like non-multipart responses.
Note that although #SoupMultipartInputStream is a [class@Gio.InputStream],
you should not read directly from it, and the results are undefined
if you do.
Creates a new #SoupMultipartInputStream that wraps the
[class@Gio.InputStream] obtained by sending the [class@Message].
Reads should not be done directly through this object, use the input streams

counterpart instead.

Note that the [struct@MessageHeaders] that are returned are owned by the

keeping the headers is required, a copy must be made.

will be returned.

After calling this function,
[method@MultipartInputStream.get_headers] can be used to obtain the
headers for the first part. A read of 0 bytes indicates the end of
the part; a new call to this function should be done at that point,

Represents a byte range as used in the Range header.
If @end is non-negative, then @start and @end represent the bounds
of of the range, counting from 0. (Eg, the first 500 bytes would be
represented as @start = 0 and @end = 499.)
If @end is -1 and @start is non-negative, then this represents a
range starting at @start and ending with the last byte of the
requested resource body. (Eg, all but the first 500 bytes would be
@start = 500, and @end = -1.)
If @end is -1 and @start is negative, then it represents a "suffix
range", referring to the last -@start bytes of the resource body.

A HTTP server.
#SoupServer implements a simple HTTP server.
To begin, create a server using [ctor@Server.new]. Add at least one
handler by calling [method@Server.add_handler] or
[method@Server.add_early_handler]; the handler will be called to
process any requests underneath the path you pass. (If you want all
requests to go to the same handler, just pass "/" (or %NULL) for
the path.)
When a new connection is accepted (or a new request is started on
an existing persistent connection), the #SoupServer will emit
[signal@Server::request-started] and then begin processing the request
as described below, but note that once the message is assigned a
status-code, then callbacks after that point will be
skipped. Note also that it is not defined when the callbacks happen
relative to various [class@ServerMessage] signals.
Once the headers have been read, #SoupServer will check if there is
a [class@AuthDomain] `(qv)` covering the Request-URI; if so, and if the
message does not contain suitable authorization, then the
[class@AuthDomain] will set a status of %SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED on
the message.
After checking for authorization, #SoupServer will look for "early"
handlers (added with [method@Server.add_early_handler]) matching the
Request-URI. If one is found, it will be run; in particular, this
can be used to connect to signals to do a streaming read of the
request body.
(At this point, if the request headers contain `Expect:
100-continue`, and a status code has been set, then
#SoupServer will skip the remaining steps and return the response.
If the request headers contain `Expect:
100-continue` and no status code has been set,
#SoupServer will return a %SOUP_STATUS_CONTINUE status before
continuing.)
The server will then read in the response body (if present). At
this point, if there are no handlers at all defined for the
Request-URI, then the server will return %SOUP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND to
the client.
Otherwise (assuming no previous step assigned a status to the
message) any "normal" handlers (added with
[method@Server.add_handler]) for the message's Request-URI will be
run.
Then, if the path has a WebSocket handler registered (and has
not yet been assigned a status), #SoupServer will attempt to
validate the WebSocket handshake, filling in the response and
setting a status of %SOUP_STATUS_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS or
%SOUP_STATUS_BAD_REQUEST accordingly.
If the message still has no status code at this point (and has not
been paused with [method@ServerMessage.pause]), then it will be
given a status of %SOUP_STATUS_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR (because at
least one handler ran, but returned without assigning a status).
Finally, the server will emit [signal@Server::request-finished] (or
[signal@Server::request-aborted] if an I/O error occurred before
handling was completed).
If you want to handle the special "*" URI (eg, "OPTIONS *"), you
must explicitly register a handler for "*"; the default handler
will not be used for that case.
If you want to process https connections in addition to (or instead
of) http connections, you can set the [property@Server:tls-certificate]
property.
Once the server is set up, make one or more calls to
[method@Server.listen], [method@Server.listen_local], or
[method@Server.listen_all] to tell it where to listen for
connections. (All ports on a #SoupServer use the same handlers; if
you need to handle some ports differently, such as returning
different data for http and https, you'll need to create multiple
`SoupServer`s, or else check the passed-in URI in the handler
function.).
#SoupServer will begin processing connections as soon as you return
to (or start) the main loop for the current thread-default
[struct@GLib.MainContext].
Creates a new #SoupServer.

a #SoupServer
a #GIOStream

Adds an authentication domain to @server.
Each auth domain will have the chance to require authentication for each
request that comes in; normally auth domains will require authentication for
requests on certain paths that they have been set up to watch, or that meet
other criteria set by the caller. If an auth domain determines that a request
requires authentication (and the request doesn't contain authentication),
@server will automatically reject the request with an appropriate status (401
Unauthorized or 407 Proxy Authentication Required). If the request used the
SoupServer:100-continue Expectation, @server will reject it before the
request body is sent.
a #SoupServer
a #SoupAuthDomain
Adds an "early" handler to @server for requests prefixed by @path.
Note that "normal" and "early" handlers are matched up together, so if you
add a normal handler for "/foo" and an early handler for "/foo/bar", then a
request to "/foo/bar" (or any path below it) will run only the early handler.
(But if you add both handlers at the same path, then both will get run.)
For requests under @path (that have not already been assigned a
status code by a [class@AuthDomain] or a signal handler), @callback
will be invoked after receiving the request headers, but before
receiving the request body; the message's method and
request-headers properties will be set.
Early handlers are generally used for processing requests with request bodies
in a streaming fashion. If you determine that the request will contain a
message body, normally you would call [method@MessageBody.set_accumulate] on
the message's request-body to turn off request-body accumulation, and connect
to the message's [signal@ServerMessage::got-chunk] signal to process each
chunk as it comes in.
To complete the message processing after the full message body has
been read, you can either also connect to [signal@ServerMessage::got-body],
or else you can register a non-early handler for @path as well. As
long as you have not set the status-code by the time
[signal@ServerMessage::got-body] is emitted, the non-early handler will be
run as well.
a #SoupServer
the toplevel path for the handler
callback to invoke for

destroy notifier to free @user_data
Adds a handler to @server for requests prefixed by @path.
If @path is %NULL or "/", then this will be the default handler for all
requests that don't have a more specific handler. (Note though that if you
want to handle requests to the special "*" URI, you must explicitly register
a handler for "*"; the default handler will not be used for that case.)
For requests under @path (that have not already been assigned a
status code by a [class@AuthDomain], an early server handler, or a
signal handler), @callback will be invoked after receiving the
request body; the [class@ServerMessage]'s method, request-headers,
and request-body properties will be set.
After determining what to do with the request, the callback must at a minimum
call [method@ServerMessage.set_status] on the message to set the response
status code. Additionally, it may set response headers and/or fill in the
response body.
If the callback cannot fully fill in the response before returning
(eg, if it needs to wait for information from a database, or
another network server), it should call [method@ServerMessage.pause]
to tell @server to not send the response right away. When the
response is ready, call [method@ServerMessage.unpause] to cause it
to be sent.
To send the response body a bit at a time using "chunked" encoding, first
call [method@MessageHeaders.set_encoding] to set %SOUP_ENCODING_CHUNKED on
the response-headers. Then call [method@MessageBody.append] (or
[method@MessageBody.append_bytes])) to append each chunk as it becomes ready,
and [method@ServerMessage.unpause] to make sure it's running. (The server
will automatically pause the message if it is using chunked encoding but no
more chunks are available.) When you are done, call
[method@MessageBody.complete] to indicate that no more chunks are coming.
a #SoupServer

Add support for a WebSocket extension of the given @extension_type.
When a WebSocket client requests an extension of @extension_type,
a new [class@WebsocketExtension] of type @extension_type will be created
to handle the request.
Note that [class@WebsocketExtensionDeflate] is supported by default, use
[method@Server.remove_websocket_extension] if you want to disable it.
a #SoupServer
a #GType
Adds a WebSocket handler to @server for requests prefixed by @path.
If @path is %NULL or "/", then this will be the default handler for all
requests that don't have a more specific handler.
When a path has a WebSocket handler registered, @server will check
incoming requests for WebSocket handshakes after all other handlers
have run (unless some earlier handler has already set a status code
on the message), and update the request's status, response headers,
and response body accordingly.
If @origin is non-%NULL, then only requests containing a matching
"Origin" header will be accepted. If @protocols is non-%NULL, then
only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols"
header will be accepted. More complicated requirements can be
handled by adding a normal handler to @path, and having it perform
whatever checks are needed and
setting a failure status code if the handshake should be rejected.

must free when you are done with it.
a #SoupServer
Checks whether @server is capable of https.
In order for a server to run https, you must call
[method@Server.set_tls_certificate], or set the
[property@Server:tls-certificate] property, to provide it with a
certificate to use.
If you are using the deprecated single-listener APIs, then a return value of
%TRUE indicates that the #SoupServer serves https exclusively. If you are
using [method@Server.listen], etc, then a %TRUE return value merely indicates
that the server is *able* to do https, regardless of whether it actually
currently is or not. Use [method@Server.get_uris] to see if it currently has
any https listeners.
%TRUE if @server is configured to serve https.
a #SoupServer
Attempts to set up @server to listen for connections on @address.
If @options includes %SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_HTTPS, and @server has
been configured for TLS, then @server will listen for https
connections on this port. Otherwise it will listen for plain http.
You may call this method (along with the other "listen" methods)
any number of times on a server, if you want to listen on multiple
ports, or set up both http and https service.
After calling this method, @server will begin accepting and processing
connections as soon as the appropriate [struct@GLib.MainContext] is run.
Note that this API does not make use of dual IPv4/IPv6 sockets; if
@address is an IPv6 address, it will only accept IPv6 connections.
You must configure IPv4 listening separately.
%TRUE on success, %FALSE if @address could not be
bound or any other error occurred (in which case @error will be
set).
a #SoupServer
the address of the interface to listen on
listening options for this server
Attempts to set up @server to listen for connections on all interfaces
on the system.
That is, it listens on the addresses `0.0.0.0` and/or `::`, depending on
whether @options includes %SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV4_ONLY,
%SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV6_ONLY, or neither.) If @port is specified, @server
will listen on that port. If it is 0, @server will find an unused port to
listen on. (In that case, you can use [method@Server.get_uris] to find out
what port it ended up choosing.
See [method@Server.listen] for more details.
%TRUE on success, %FALSE if @port could not be bound
or any other error occurred (in which case @error will be set).
a #SoupServer
the port to listen on, or 0
listening options for this server
Attempts to set up @server to listen for connections on "localhost".
That is, `127.0.0.1` and/or `::1`, depending on whether @options includes
%SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV4_ONLY, %SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV6_ONLY, or neither). If
@port is specified, @server will listen on that port. If it is 0, @server
will find an unused port to listen on. (In that case, you can use
[method@Server.get_uris] to find out what port it ended up choosing.
See [method@Server.listen] for more details.
%TRUE on success, %FALSE if @port could not be bound
or any other error occurred (in which case @error will be set).
a #SoupServer
the port to listen on, or 0
listening options for this server
Attempts to set up @server to listen for connections on @socket.
See [method@Server.listen] for more details.
%TRUE on success, %FALSE if an error occurred (in
which case @error will be set).

Pauses I/O on @msg.
This can be used when you need to return from the server handler without
having the full response ready yet. Use [method@Server.unpause_message] to
resume I/O.
This must only be called on a [class@ServerMessage] which was created by the
#SoupServer and are currently doing I/O, such as those passed into a
[callback@ServerCallback] or emitted in a [signal@Server::request-read]
signal.
Use soup_server_message_pause() instead.

a #SoupServer
a #GTlsAuthenticationMode

Resumes I/O on @msg.
Use this to resume after calling [method@Server.pause_message], or after
adding a new chunk to a chunked response.
I/O won't actually resume until you return to the main loop.
This must only be called on a [class@ServerMessage] which was created by the
#SoupServer and are currently doing I/O, such as those passed into a
[callback@ServerCallback] or emitted in a [signal@Server::request-read]
signal.
Use soup_server_message_unpause() instead.
a #SoupServer
a #SoupServerMessage associated with @server.
If %TRUE, percent-encoding in the Request-URI path will not be
automatically decoded.
Server header.
If non-%NULL, the value to use for the "Server" header on
[class@ServerMessage]s processed by this server.
The Server header is the server equivalent of the
User-Agent header, and provides information about the
server and its components. It contains a list of one or
more product tokens, separated by whitespace, with the most
significant product token coming first. The tokens must be
brief, ASCII, and mostly alphanumeric (although "-", "_",
and "." are also allowed), and may optionally include a "/"
followed by a version string. You may also put comments,
enclosed in parentheses, between or after the tokens.
Some HTTP server implementations intentionally do not use
version numbers in their Server header, so that
installations running older versions of the server don't
end up advertising their vulnerability to specific security
holes.
As with [property@Session:user_agent], if you set a
[property@Server:server-header] property that has trailing
whitespace, #SoupServer will append its own product token (eg,
`libsoup/2.3.2`) to the end of the header for you.
A [enum@Gio.TlsAuthenticationMode] for SSL/TLS client authentication.
A [class@Gio.TlsCertificate[] that has a
[property@Gio.TlsCertificate:private-key] set.
If this is set, then the server will be able to speak
https in addition to (or instead of) plain http.
A [class@Gio.TlsDatabase] to use for validating SSL/TLS client
certificates.
Emitted when processing has failed for a message.
This could mean either that it could not be read (if
[signal@Server::request-read] has not been emitted for it yet), or that
the response could not be written back (if [signal@Server::request-read]
has been emitted but [signal@Server::request-finished] has not been).
@message is in an undefined state when this signal is
emitted; the signal exists primarily to allow the server to
free any state that it may have allocated in
[signal@Server::request-started].
the message
Emitted when the server has finished writing a response to
a request.
the message
Emitted when the server has successfully read a request.
@message will have all of its request-side information
filled in, and if the message was authenticated, @client
will have information about that. This signal is emitted
before any (non-early) handlers are called for the message,
and if it sets the message's #status_code, then normal
handler processing will be skipped.
the message
Emitted when the server has started reading a new request.
@message will be completely blank; not even the
Request-Line will have been read yet. About the only thing
you can usefully do with it is connect to its signals.
If the request is read successfully, this will eventually
be followed by a [signal@Server::request_read signal]. If a
response is then sent, the request processing will end with
a [signal@Server::request-finished] signal. If a network error
occurs, the processing will instead end with
[signal@Server::request-aborted].
the new message
A callback used to handle requests to a [class@Server].
@path and @query contain the likewise-named components of the
Request-URI, subject to certain assumptions. By default,
[class@Server] decodes all percent-encoding in the URI path, such that
`"/foo%2Fbar"` is treated the same as `"/foo/bar"`. If your
server is serving resources in some non-POSIX-filesystem namespace,
you may want to distinguish those as two distinct paths. In that
case, you can set the [property@Server:raw-paths] property when creating
the [class@Server], and it will leave those characters undecoded.
@query contains the query component of the Request-URI parsed according to
the rules for HTML form handling. Although this is the only commonly-used
query string format in HTTP, there is nothing that actually requires that
HTTP URIs use that format; if your server needs to use some other format, you
can just ignore @query, and call [method@Message.get_uri] and parse the URI's
query field yourself.
See [method@Server.add_handler] and [method@Server.add_early_handler]
for details of what handlers can/should do.

Options to pass to [method@Server.listen], etc.
%SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV4_ONLY and %SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_IPV6_ONLY
only make sense with [method@Server.listen_all] and
[method@Server.listen_local], not plain [method@Server.listen] (which
simply listens on whatever kind of socket you give it). And you
cannot specify both of them in a single call.
Listen for https connections rather
than plain http.
Only listen on IPv4 interfaces.
Only listen on IPv6 interfaces.
An HTTP server request and response pair.
A SoupServerMessage represents an HTTP message that is being sent or
received on a [class@Server].
[class@Server] will create `SoupServerMessage`s automatically for
incoming requests, which your application will receive via handlers.
Note that libsoup's terminology here does not quite match the HTTP
specification: in RFC 2616, an "HTTP-message" is *either* a Request, *or* a
Response. In libsoup, a #SoupServerMessage combines both the request and the
response.

If you are using this method to observe when multiple requests are
made on the same persistent HTTP connection (eg, as the ntlm-test
test program does), you will need to pay attention to socket
destruction as well (eg, by using weak references), so that you do
not get fooled when the allocator reuses the memory address of a
previously-destroyed socket to represent a new socket.

resume I/O.
a SoupServerMessage
Set the HTTP version of @msg.
a #SoupServerMessage
a #SoupHTTPVersion
Sets @msg's status_code to @status_code and adds a Location header
pointing to @redirect_uri. Use this from a [class@Server] when you
want to redirect the client to another URI.
@redirect_uri can be a relative URI, in which case it is
interpreted relative to @msg's current URI. In particular, if
@redirect_uri is just a path, it will replace the path
*and query* of @msg's URI.

"Steals" the HTTP connection associated with @msg from its #SoupServer. This
happens immediately, regardless of the current state of the connection; if
the response to @msg has not yet finished being sent, then it will be
discarded; you can steal the connection from a
[signal@ServerMessage::wrote-informational] or
[signal@ServerMessage::wrote-body] signal handler if you need to wait for
part or all of the response to be sent.
Note that when calling this function from C, @msg will most
likely be freed as a side effect.

Note that this signal is not parallel to
[signal@ServerMessage::got-chunk]; it is emitted only when a complete
chunk (added with [method@MessageBody.append] or
[method@MessageBody.append_bytes] has been written. To get
more useful continuous progress information, use
[signal@ServerMessage::wrote-body-data].
Emitted immediately after writing the response headers for a

Emitted immediately after writing a 1xx (Informational) response.
A callback used to handle WebSocket requests to a #SoupServer.
The callback will be invoked after sending the handshake response back to the
client (and is only invoked if the handshake was successful).
@path contains the path of the Request-URI, subject to the same
rules as [callback@ServerCallback] `(qv)`.

Soup session state object.
#SoupSession is the object that controls client-side HTTP. A
#SoupSession encapsulates all of the state that libsoup is keeping
on behalf of your program; cached HTTP connections, authentication
information, etc. It also keeps track of various global options
and features that you are using.
Most applications will only need a single #SoupSession; the primary
reason you might need multiple sessions is if you need to have
multiple independent authentication contexts. (Eg, you are
connecting to a server and authenticating as two different users at
different times; the easiest way to ensure that each [class@Message]
is sent with the authentication information you intended is to use
one session for the first user, and a second session for the other
user.)
Additional #SoupSession functionality is provided by
[iface@SessionFeature] objects, which can be added to a session with
[method@Session.add_feature] or [method@Session.add_feature_by_type]
For example, [class@Logger] provides support for
logging HTTP traffic, [class@ContentDecoder] provides support for
compressed response handling, and [class@ContentSniffer] provides
support for HTML5-style response body content sniffing.
Additionally, subtypes of [class@Auth] can be added
as features, to add support for additional authentication types.
All `SoupSession`s are created with a [class@AuthManager], and support
for %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC and %SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Additionally,
sessions using the plain #SoupSession class (rather than one of its deprecated
subtypes) have a [class@ContentDecoder] by default.
Note that all async methods will invoke their callbacks on the thread-default
context at the time of the function call.

Adds @feature's functionality to @session. You cannot add multiple
features of the same [alias@GLib.Type] to a session.
See the main #SoupSession documentation for information on what
features are present in sessions by default.
a #SoupSession
an object that implements #SoupSessionFeature
If @feature_type is the type of a class that implements
[iface@SessionFeature], this creates a new feature of that type and
adds it to @session as with [method@Session.add_feature]. You can use
this when you don't need to customize the new feature in any way.
Adding multiple features of the same @feature_type is not allowed.
If @feature_type is not a [iface@SessionFeature] type, this gives each
existing feature on @session the chance to accept @feature_type as
a "subfeature". This can be used to add new [class@Auth] types, for instance.
See the main #SoupSession documentation for information on what
features are present in sessions by default.

Start a preconnection to @msg.
Once the connection is done, it will remain in idle state so that it can be
reused by future requests. If there's already an idle connection for the
given @msg host, the operation finishes successfully without creating a new
connection. If a new request for the given @msg host is made while the
preconnect is still ongoing, the request will take the ownership of the
connection and the preconnect operation will finish successfully (if there's
a connection error it will be handled by the request).

Synchronously sends @msg and waits for the beginning of a response.
On success, a [class@Gio.InputStream] will be returned which you can use to
read the response body. ("Success" here means only that an HTTP
response was received and understood; it does not necessarily mean
that a 2xx class status code was received.)
If non-%NULL, @cancellable can be used to cancel the request;
[method@Session.send] will return a %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error. Note that
with requests that have side effects (eg, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`) it is
possible that you might cancel the request after the server acts on it, but
before it returns a response, leaving the remote resource in an unknown
state.
If @msg is requeued due to a redirect or authentication, the
initial (`3xx/401/407`) response body will be suppressed, and

Set the value to use for the "User-Agent" header on [class@Message]s sent
from @session.
If @user_agent has trailing whitespace, @session will append its own product
token (eg, `libsoup/3.0.0`) to the end of the header for you. If @user_agent
is %NULL then no "User-Agent" will be included in requests. See
[property@Session:user-agent] for more information.
a #SoupSession

Asynchronously creates a [class@WebsocketConnection] to communicate with a
remote server.
All necessary WebSocket-related headers will be added to @msg, and
it will then be sent and asynchronously processed normally
(including handling of redirection and HTTP authentication).
If the server returns "101 Switching Protocols", then @msg's status
code and response headers will be updated, and then the WebSocket
handshake will be completed. On success,
[method@Session.websocket_connect_finish] will return a new
[class@WebsocketConnection]. On failure it will return a #GError.
If the server returns a status other than "101 Switching Protocols", then
@msg will contain the complete response headers and body from the server's
response, and [method@Session.websocket_connect_finish] will return
%SOUP_WEBSOCKET_ERROR_NOT_WEBSOCKET.

If non-%NULL, the value to use for the "Accept-Language" header
on [class@Message]s sent from this session.
Setting this will disable [property@Session:accept-language-auto].
If %TRUE, #SoupSession will automatically set the string
for the "Accept-Language" header on every [class@Message]
sent, based on the return value of [func@GLib.get_language_names].
Setting this will override any previous value of
[property@Session:accept-language].
Connection lifetime (in seconds) when idle. Any connection
left idle longer than this will be closed.
Although you can change this property at any time, it will
only affect newly-created connections, not currently-open
ones. You can call [method@Session.abort] after setting this
if you want to ensure that all future connections will have
this timeout value.
Sets the [class@Gio.InetSocketAddress] to use for the client side of
the connection.
Use this property if you want for instance to bind the
local socket to a specific IP address.
The maximum number of connections that the session can open at once.
The maximum number of connections that the session can open at once
to a given host.
A [iface@Gio.ProxyResolver] to use with this session.
If no proxy resolver is set, then the default proxy resolver
will be used. See [func@Gio.ProxyResolver.get_default].
You can set it to %NULL if you don't want to use proxies, or
set it to your own [iface@Gio.ProxyResolver] if you want to control
what proxies get used.
Sets a socket to make outgoing connections on. This will override the default
behaviour of opening TCP/IP sockets to the hosts specified in the URIs.
This function is not required for common HTTP usage, but only when connecting
to a HTTP service that is not using standard TCP/IP sockets. An example of
this is a local service that uses HTTP over UNIX-domain sockets, in that case
a [class@Gio.UnixSocketAddress] can be passed to this function.
The timeout (in seconds) for socket I/O operations
(including connecting to a server, and waiting for a reply
to an HTTP request).
Although you can change this property at any time, it will
only affect newly-created connections, not currently-open
ones. You can call [method@Session.abort] after setting this
if you want to ensure that all future connections will have
this timeout value.
Not to be confused with [property@Session:idle-timeout] (which is
the length of time that idle persistent connections will be
kept open).
Sets the [class@Gio.TlsDatabase] to use for validating SSL/TLS
certificates.
If no certificate database is set, then the default database will be
used. See [method@Gio.TlsBackend.get_default_database].
A [class@Gio.TlsInteraction] object that will be passed on to any
[class@Gio.TlsConnection]s created by the session.
This can be used to provide client-side certificates, for example.
User-Agent string.
If non-%NULL, the value to use for the "User-Agent" header
on [class@Message]s sent from this session.
RFC 2616 says: "The User-Agent request-header field
contains information about the user agent originating the
request. This is for statistical purposes, the tracing of
protocol violations, and automated recognition of user
agents for the sake of tailoring responses to avoid
particular user agent limitations. User agents SHOULD
include this field with requests."
The User-Agent header contains a list of one or more
product tokens, separated by whitespace, with the most
significant product token coming first. The tokens must be
brief, ASCII, and mostly alphanumeric (although "-", "_",
and "." are also allowed), and may optionally include a "/"
followed by a version string. You may also put comments,
enclosed in parentheses, between or after the tokens.
If you set a [property@Session:user-agent] property that has trailing
whitespace, #SoupSession will append its own product token
(eg, `libsoup/2.3.2`) to the end of the
header for you.
Emitted when a request is queued on @session.
When sending a request, first [signal@Session::request-queued]
is emitted, indicating that the session has become aware of
the request.
After a connection is available to send the request various
[class@Message] signals are emitted as the message is
processed. If the message is requeued, it will emit
[signal@Message::restarted], which will then be followed by other
[class@Message] signals when the message is re-sent.
Eventually, the message will emit [signal@Message::finished].
Normally, this signals the completion of message
processing. However, it is possible that the application
will requeue the message from the "finished" handler.
In that case the process will loop back.
Eventually, a message will reach "finished" and not be
requeued. At that point, the session will emit
[signal@Session::request-unqueued] to indicate that it is done
with the message.
To sum up: [signal@Session::request-queued] and
[signal@Session::request-unqueued] are guaranteed to be emitted
exactly once, but [signal@Message::finished] (and all of the other
[class@Message] signals) may be invoked multiple times for a given
message.
the request that was queued
Emitted when a request is removed from @session's queue,
indicating that @session is done with it.
See [signal@Session::request-queued] for a detailed description of
the message lifecycle within a session.

Interface for miscellaneous [class@Session] features.
#SoupSessionFeature is the interface used by classes that extend
the functionality of a [class@Session]. Some features like HTTP
authentication handling are implemented internally via
`SoupSessionFeature`s. Other features can be added to the session
by the application. (Eg, [class@Logger], [class@CookieJar].)
See [method@Session.add_feature], etc, to add a feature to a session.
The interface implemented by [iface@SessionFeature]s.
These represent the known HTTP status code values, plus various
network and internal errors.
Note that no libsoup functions take or return this type directly;
any function that works with status codes will accept unrecognized
status codes as well.

Looks up the stock HTTP description of @status_code.
*There is no reason for you to ever use this
function.* If you wanted the textual description for the
[property@Message:status-code] of a given [class@Message], you should just
look at the message's [property@Message:reason-phrase]. However, you
should only do that for use in debugging messages; HTTP reason
phrases are not localized, and are not generally very descriptive
anyway, and so they should never be presented to the user directly.
Instead, you should create you own error messages based on the
status code, and on what you were trying to do.

The WebSocket Protocol
Provides support for the [WebSocket](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455)
protocol.
To connect to a WebSocket server, create a [class@Session] and call
[method@Session.websocket_connect_async]. To accept WebSocket
connections, create a [class@Server] and add a handler to it with
[method@Server.add_websocket_handler].
(Lower-level support is available via
[func@websocket_client_prepare_handshake] and
[func@websocket_client_verify_handshake], for handling the client side of the
WebSocket handshake, and [func@websocket_server_process_handshake] for
handling the server side.)
#SoupWebsocketConnection handles the details of WebSocket communication. You
can use [method@WebsocketConnection.send_text] and
[method@WebsocketConnection.send_binary] to send data, and the
[signal@WebsocketConnection::message] signal to receive data.
(#SoupWebsocketConnection currently only supports asynchronous I/O.)
Creates a #SoupWebsocketConnection on @stream with the given active @extensions.
This should be called after completing the handshake to begin using the WebSocket
protocol.

Note that until the [signal@WebsocketConnection::closed] signal fires, the connection
is not yet completely closed. The close message is not even sent until the
main loop runs.
The @code and @data are sent to the peer along with the close request.
If @code is %SOUP_WEBSOCKET_CLOSE_NO_STATUS a close message with no body
(without code and data) is sent.
Note that the @data must be UTF-8 valid.

A SoupWebsocketExtensionDeflate is a [class@WebsocketExtension]
implementing permessage-deflate (RFC 7692).
This extension is used by default in a [class@Session] when [class@WebsocketExtensionManager]
feature is present, and always used by [class@Server].
SoupWebsocketExtensionManager is the [iface@SessionFeature] that handles WebSockets
extensions for a [class@Session].
A #SoupWebsocketExtensionManager is added to the session by default, and normally
you don't need to worry about it at all. However, if you want to
disable WebSocket extensions, you can remove the feature from the
session with [method@Session.remove_feature_by_type] or disable it on
individual requests with [method@Message.disable_feature].

If @header does not have "path" or "domain" attributes, they will
be defaulted from @origin. If @origin is %NULL, path will default
to "/", but domain will be left as %NULL. Note that this is not a
valid state for a #SoupCookie, and you will need to fill in some
appropriate string for the domain if you want to actually make use
of the cookie.

a #GSList of #SoupCookie
Parses @msg's Cookie request header and returns a [struct@GLib.SList] of
`SoupCookie`s.
As the "Cookie" header, unlike "Set-Cookie", only contains cookie names and
values, none of the other #SoupCookie fields will be filled in. (Thus, you
can't generally pass a cookie returned from this method directly to
[func@cookies_to_response].)

the uploaded file data into @filename, @content_type, and @file. All of the
other form control data will be returned (as strings, as with
[func@form_decode] in the returned [struct@GLib.HashTable].
You may pass %NULL for @filename, @content_type and/or @file if you do not
care about those fields. [func@form_decode_multipart] may also
return %NULL in those fields if the client did not provide that
information. You must free the returned filename and content-type
with [func@GLib.free], and the returned file data with [method@Glib.Bytes.unref].
If you have a form with more than one file upload control, you will
need to decode it manually, using [ctor@Multipart.new_from_message]
and [method@Multipart.get_part].

Encodes the given field names and values into a value of type
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
Encodes as defined in the HTML 4.01 spec.
This method requires you to know the names of the form fields (or
at the very least, the total number of fields) at compile time; for
working with dynamic forms, use [func@form_encode_hash] or
[func@form_encode_datalist].
See also: [ctor@Message.new_from_encoded_form].

and values, terminated by %NULL.
Encodes @form_data_set into a value of type
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
Encodes as defined in the HTML 4.01 spec. Unlike [func@form_encode_hash],
this preserves the ordering of the form elements, which may be required in
some situations.

Encodes @form_data_set into a value of type
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
Encodes as defined in the HTML 4.01 spec.
Note that the HTML spec states that "The control names/values are
listed in the order they appear in the document." Since this method
takes a hash table, it cannot enforce that; if you care about the
ordering of the form fields, use [func@form_encode_datalist].

Returns the major version number of the libsoup library.
e.g. in libsoup version 2.42.0 this is 2.
This function is in the library, so it represents the libsoup library
your code is running against. Contrast with the #SOUP_MAJOR_VERSION
macro, which represents the major version of the libsoup headers you
have included when compiling your code.

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.

Appends something like `name="value"` to

a header value
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).

a header value
Parses a header whose content is a list of items with optional
"qvalue"s (eg, Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding,
Accept-Language, TE).
If @unacceptable is not %NULL, then on return, it will contain the
items with qvalue 0. Either way, those items will be removed from
the main list.

soup-method.h contains a number of defines for standard HTTP and
WebDAV headers. You do not need to use these defines; you can pass
arbitrary strings to soup_message_new() if you prefer.
The thing that these defines <emphasis>are</emphasis> useful for is
performing quick comparisons against soup_message_get_method();
because #SoupMessage always contains an interned string, and these
macros return interned strings, you can compare methods directly
against these macros rather than needing to use strcmp(). This is
most useful in #SoupServer handlers. Eg:
<informalexample><programlisting>
if (soup_message_get_method (msg) != SOUP_METHOD_GET && soup_message_get_method (msg) != SOUP_METHOD_HEAD) {
soup_message_set_status (msg, SOUP_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
return;
}
</programlisting></informalexample>
Looks up the stock HTTP description of @status_code.
*There is no reason for you to ever use this
function.* If you wanted the textual description for the
[property@Message:status-code] of a given [class@Message], you should just
look at the message's [property@Message:reason-phrase]. However, you
should only do that for use in debugging messages; HTTP reason
phrases are not localized, and are not generally very descriptive
anyway, and so they should never be presented to the user directly.
Instead, you should create you own error messages based on the
status code, and on what you were trying to do.

Looks whether the @domain passed as argument is a public domain
suffix (.org, .com, .co.uk, etc) or not.
Prior to libsoup 2.46, this function required that @domain be in
UTF-8 if it was an IDN. From 2.46 on, the name can be in either
UTF-8 or ASCII format.
%TRUE if it is a public domain, %FALSE otherwise.

Registers error quark for soup_tld_get_base_domain() if needed.
Error quark for Soup TLD functions.
Finds the base domain for a given @hostname
The base domain is composed by the top level domain (such as .org, .com,
.co.uk, etc) plus the second level domain, for example for
myhost.mydomain.com it will return mydomain.com.
Note that %NULL will be returned for private URLs (those not ending
with any well known TLD) because choosing a base domain for them
would be totally arbitrary.
Prior to libsoup 2.46, this function required that @hostname be in

As of 3.4.0 this will detect the default ports of HTTP(s) and WS(S)
URIs when copying and set it to the default port of the new scheme.
So for example copying `http://localhost:80` while changing the scheme to https
will result in `https://localhost:443`.

Adds the necessary headers to @msg to request a WebSocket
handshake including supported WebSocket extensions.
The message body and non-WebSocket-related headers are
not modified.
This is a low-level function; if you use

Looks at the response status code and headers in @msg and
determines if they contain a valid WebSocket handshake response
(given the handshake request in @msg's request headers).
If @supported_extensions is non-%NULL, extensions included in the
response "Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" are verified too. Accepted
extensions are returned in @accepted_extensions parameter if non-%NULL.
This is a low-level function; if you use
[method@Session.websocket_connect_async] to create a WebSocket

If @origin is non-%NULL, then only requests containing a matching
"Origin" header will be accepted. If @protocols is non-%NULL, then
only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols"
header will be accepted. If @supported_extensions is non-%NULL, then
only requests containing valid supported extensions in
"Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted.
Normally [func@websocket_server_process_handshake]
will take care of this for you, and if you use
[method@Server.add_websocket_handler] to handle accepting WebSocket
connections, it will call that for you. However, this function may
be useful if you need to perform more complicated validation; eg,
accepting multiple different Origins, or handling different protocols
depending on the path.

only requests containing valid supported extensions in
"Sec-WebSocket-Extensions" header will be accepted. The accepted extensions
will be returned in @accepted_extensions parameter if non-%NULL.
This is a low-level function; if you use
[method@Server.add_websocket_handler] to handle accepting WebSocket
