Detailed Description

This is an implementation of a simple HTTP Proxying connection.

Usage:

 Client *c = new Client( ... );
 c->setConnectionImpl( new ConnectionHTTPProxy( c,
                                new ConnectionTCP( c->logInstance(), proxyHost, proxyPort ),
                                c->logInstance(), xmppHost, xmppPort ) );

Make sure to pass the proxy host/port to the transport connection (ConnectionTCP in this case), and the XMPP host/port to the proxy connection.

The reason why ConnectionHTTPProxy doesn't manage its own ConnectionTCP is that it allows it to be used with other transports (like IPv6 or chained SOCKS5/HTTP proxies).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ConnectionHTTPProxy (  ConnectionBase *  connection,
const LogSink &  logInstance,
const std::string &  server,
int  port = -1
) 
 

Constructs a new ConnectionHTTPProxy object.

Parameters:
connection A transport connection. It should be configured to connect to the proxy host and port, not to the XMPP host. ConnectionHTTPProxy will own the transport connection and delete it in its destructor.
logInstance The log target. Obtain it from ClientBase::logInstance().
server A server to connect to. This is the XMPP server's address, not the proxy.
port The port to connect to. This is the XMPP server's port, not the proxy's. The default of -1 means that SRV records will be used to find out about the actual host:port.
Note:
To properly use this object, you have to set a ConnectionDataHandler using registerConnectionDataHandler(). This is not necessary if this object is part of a 'connection chain', e.g. with ConnectionSOCKS5Proxy.

ConnectionHTTPProxy (  ConnectionDataHandler *  cdh,
ConnectionBase *  connection,
const LogSink &  logInstance,
const std::string &  server,
int  port = -1
) 
 

Constructs a new ConnectionHTTPProxy object.

Parameters:
cdh An ConnectionDataHandler-derived object that will handle incoming data.
connection A transport connection. It should be configured to connect to the proxy host and port, not to the XMPP host. ConnectionHTTPProxy will own the transport connection and delete it in its destructor.
logInstance The log target. Obtain it from ClientBase::logInstance().
server A server to connect to. This is the XMPP server's address, not the proxy.
port The port to connect to. This is the XMPP server's port, not the proxy's. The default of -1 means that SRV records will be used to find out about the actual host:port.

~ConnectionHTTPProxy (   )  [virtual]
 

Virtual destructor

Member Function Documentation

void cleanup (   )  [virtual]
 

This function is called after a disconnect to clean up internal state. It is also called by ConnectionBase's destructor.

Reimplemented from ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 119 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

ConnectionError connect (   )  [virtual]
 

Used to initiate the connection.

Returns:
Returns the connection state.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 77 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void disconnect (   )  [virtual]
 

Disconnects an established connection. NOOP if no active connection exists.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 88 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void getStatistics (  int &  totalIn,
int &  totalOut
)  [virtual]
 

Returns current connection statistics.

Parameters:
totalIn The total number of bytes received.
totalOut The total number of bytes sent.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 127 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void handleConnect (  const ConnectionBase *  connection  )  [virtual]
 

This function is called when e.g. the raw TCP connection was established.

Parameters:
connection The connection.

Implements ConnectionDataHandler.

Definition at line 173 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void handleDisconnect (  const ConnectionBase *  connection,
ConnectionError  reason
)  [virtual]
 

This connection is called when e.g. the raw TCP connection was closed.

Parameters:
connection The connection.
reason The reason for the disconnect.

Implements ConnectionDataHandler.

Definition at line 215 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void handleReceivedData (  const ConnectionBase *  connection,
const std::string &  data
)  [virtual]
 

This function is called for received from the underlying transport.

Parameters:
connection The connection that received the data.
data The data received.

Implements ConnectionDataHandler.

Definition at line 138 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

ConnectionBase * newInstance (   )  const [virtual]
 

This function returns a new instance of the current ConnectionBase-derived object. The idea is to be able to 'clone' ConnectionBase-derived objects without knowing of what type they are exactly.

Returns:
A new Connection* instance.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 63 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

ConnectionError receive (   )  [virtual]
 

Use this function to put the connection into 'receive mode', i.e. this function returns only when the connection is terminated.

Returns:
Returns a value indicating the disconnection reason.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 103 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

ConnectionError recv (  int  timeout = -1  )  [virtual]
 

Use this periodically to receive data from the socket and to feed the parser.

Parameters:
timeout The timeout to use for select in microseconds. Default of -1 means blocking.
Returns:
The state of the connection.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 95 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

bool send (  const std::string &  data  )  [virtual]
 

Use this function to send a string of data over the wire. The function returns only after all data has been sent.

Parameters:
data The data to send.
Returns:
True if the data has been sent (no guarantee of receipt), false in case of an error.

Implements ConnectionBase.

Definition at line 111 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void setConnectionImpl (  ConnectionBase *  connection  ) 
 

Sets the underlying transport connection. A possibly existing connection will be deleted.

Parameters:
connection The ConnectionBase to replace the current connection, if any.

Definition at line 69 of file connectionhttpproxy.cpp.

void setHTTP11 (  bool  http11  )  [inline]
 

Switches usage of HTTP/1.1 on or off.

Parameters:
http11 Set this to true to connect through a HTTP/1.1-only proxy, or false to use HTTP/1.0. Defaults to HTTP/1.0 which should work with 99.9% of proxies.

Definition at line 147 of file connectionhttpproxy.h.

void setProxyAuth (  const std::string &  user,
const std::string &  password
)  [inline]
 

Sets proxy authorization credentials.

Parameters:
user The user name to use for proxy authorization.
password The password to use for proxy authorization.

Definition at line 133 of file connectionhttpproxy.h.

void setServer (  const std::string &  host,
int  port = -1
)  [inline]
 

Sets the XMPP server to proxy to.

Parameters:
host The XMPP server hostname (IP address).
port The XMPP server port. The default of -1 means that SRV records will be used to find out about the actual host:port.

Reimplemented from ConnectionBase.
