Method

SoupMessageHeadersset_expectations

Declaration [src]

void
soup_message_headers_set_expectations (
  SoupMessageHeaders* hdrs,
  SoupExpectation expectations
)

Description [src]

Sets hdrss “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.

Parameters

expectations

Type: SoupExpectation

The expectations to set.
