## Detailed Description

Encapsulates a transport layer protocol for sending/receiving messages.

Most of the methods are const, meaning they don't affect the transport layer until the data is sent.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual std::string xmltooling::SOAPTransport::getContentType | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the MIME type of the response, if any.

Returns
  MIME type of response, or an empty string

virtual long xmltooling::SOAPTransport::getStatusCode | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns the status code of the response.

Returns
  transport status code, or 0 if unknown

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::isAuthenticated | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns result of authenticating transport peer.

Returns
  true iff TrustEngine or other mechanism successfully authenticated the peer

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::isConfidential | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Indicates whether transport provides confidentiality.

Returns
  true iff transport layer provides confidentiality

virtual std::istream& xmltooling::SOAPTransport::receive | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns reference to response stream.

The resulting stream must be checked directly to determine whether data is available.

Returns
  reference to a stream containing the response, if any

virtual void xmltooling::SOAPTransport::send | ( | std::istream & | in | ) |
| pure virtual

Sends a stream of data over the transport.

The function may return without having received any data, depending on the nature of the transport.

If the stream is empty, a request may be issued with no body if the transport supports that feature.

Parameters

  in | input stream to send

virtual void xmltooling::SOAPTransport::send | ( | std::istream * | in = `0` | ) |
| virtual

Sends an optional stream of data over the transport.

The function may return without having received any data, depending on the nature of the transport.

If the parameter is omitted, a request may be issued with no body if the transport supports that feature.

Parameters

  in | input stream to send

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setAuth | ( | transport_auth_t | authType,
|  | const char * | username = `0`,
|  | const char * | password = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Sets a particular form of transport authentication and credentials.

Parameters

  authType | type of transport authentication to use
  username | username for transport authentication
  password | simple password/credential for transport authentication

Returns
  true iff the transport supports the indicated form of authentication

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setCacheTag | ( | std::string * | cacheTag = `0` | ) |
| virtual

Installs (or clears) a pointer to an object used for cache management of the content being accessed.

The lifetime of the object must be longer than the lifetime of this object.

Parameters

  cacheTag | optional pointer to string used for cache management

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setConnectTimeout | ( | long | timeout | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the connection timeout.

Parameters

  timeout | time to wait for connection to server in seconds, or -1 for no timeout

Returns
  true iff the transport supports connection timeouts

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setCredential | ( | const Credential * | credential = `0` | ) |
| pure virtual

Supplies transport credentials.

The lifetime of the credential must be longer than the lifetime of this object.

Parameters

  credential | a Credential instance, or nullptr

Returns
  true iff the transport supports the use of the Credential

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setProviderOption | ( | const char * | provider,
|  | const char * | option,
|  | const char * | value
| ) |  |
| virtual

Sets an implementation-specific transport provider option.

Requires knowledge of the underlying SOAPTransport implementation. Without the proper knowledge and inputs, crashes may result.

Parameters

  provider | name of the SOAPTransport class the caller believes is in use
  option | implementation-specific string containing the option to set
  value | implementation- and option-specific string to use

Returns
  true iff the transport supports the option and value supplied

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setTimeout | ( | long | timeout | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the request timeout.

Parameters

  timeout | time to wait for a response in seconds, or -1 for no timeout

Returns
  true iff the transport supports request/response timeouts

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setTrustEngine | ( | const X509TrustEngine * | trustEngine = `0`,
|  | const CredentialResolver * | credResolver = `0`,
|  | CredentialCriteria * | criteria = `0`,
|  | bool | mandatory = `true`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Provides an X509TrustEngine to the transport to authenticate the transport peer.

The lifetime of the engine must be longer than the lifetime of this object.

Parameters

  trustEngine | an X509TrustEngine instance, or nullptr
  credResolver | a CredentialResolver to supply the peer's trusted credentials, or nullptr
  criteria | optional criteria for selecting peer credentials
  mandatory | flag controls whether message is sent at all if the transport isn't authenticated using the TrustEngine

Returns
  true iff the transport supports the use of a TrustEngine

virtual bool xmltooling::SOAPTransport::setVerifyHost | ( | bool | verify | ) |
| pure virtual

Determines whether TLS/SSL connections include a check of the server's certificate against the expected hostname or address.

Defaults to true, and has no effect for insecure protocols.

Parameters

  verify | true iff the hostname should be verified against the server's certificate

Returns
  true iff the transport supports hostname verification
