Member Function Documentation

send()

virtual luciad::expected< HttpResponse, ErrorInfo > luciad::IHttpClient::send ( const HttpRequest &  request, const CancellationToken &  token  )

pure virtual

Returns the HTTP response for the given HTTP request.

This method is synchronous and blocks until the request has been sent and the response has been received.

The request process can be canceled by the means of the cancellation token. It is up to the implementer to verify that the cancellation token state is set to true during the operation. When set to true this indicates that a HTTP response is no longer needed. The return value then can be an ErrorInfo object with the error code Canceled.

Parameters

request	HTTP request.
token	Cancellation token.

Returns

the HTTP response, error information otherwise.

Implemented in luciad::HttpClient.
