/// @package LLCore::HTTP
///
/// This library implements a high-level, Indra-code-free (somewhat) client
/// interface to HTTP services based on actual patterns found in the viewer
/// and simulator. Interfaces are similar to those supplied by the legacy classes
Monty Brandenberg
committed
/// LLCurlRequest and LLHTTPClient. To that is added a policy scheme that
/// allows an application to specify connection behaviors: limits on
/// connections, HTTP keepalive, HTTP pipelining, retry-on-error limits, etc.
///
/// Features of the library include:
/// - Single, private working thread where all transport and processing occurs.
/// - Support for multiple consumers running in multiple threads.
/// - Scatter/gather (a.k.a. buffer array) model for bulk data movement.
/// - Reference counting used for many object instance lifetimes.
/// - Minimal data sharing across threads for correctness and low latency.
///
/// The public interface is declared in a few key header files:
Monty Brandenberg
committed
/// - "llcorehttp/bufferarray.h"
/// - "llcorehttp/httpcommon.h"
/// - "llcorehttp/httphandler.h"
/// - "llcorehttp/httpheaders.h"

committed
/// may need access to internal implementation details that are found
/// in the _*.h header files. But this is a crutch to be avoided if at
/// all possible and probably indicates some interface work is neeeded.
///
/// Using the library is fairly easy. Global setup needs a few
/// steps:
///
/// - libcurl initialization including thread-safely callbacks for SSL:
/// . curl_global_init(...)
/// . CRYPTO_set_locking_callback(...)
/// . CRYPTO_set_id_callback(...)
Monty Brandenberg
committed
/// - HttpRequest::createService() called to instantiate singletons
/// and support objects.
/// - HttpRequest::startThread() to kick off the worker thread and
/// begin servicing requests.
Monty Brandenberg
committed
///
/// An HTTP consumer in an application, and an application may have many
/// consumers, does a few things:
///
/// - Instantiate and retain an object based on HttpRequest. This
/// object becomes the portal into runtime services for the consumer.
/// - Derive or mixin the HttpHandler class if you want notification
/// when requests succeed or fail. This object's onCompleted()
/// method is invoked and an instance can be shared across
/// requests.
///
/// Issuing a request is straightforward:
/// - Construct a suitable URL.
/// - Configure HTTP options for the request. (optional)
/// - Build a list of additional headers. (optional)
/// - Invoke one of the requestXXXX() methods (requestGetByteRange,
/// requestPost, etc.) on the HttpRequest instance supplying the
/// above along with a policy class, a priority and an optional
/// pointer to an HttpHandler instance. Work is then queued to
/// the worker thread and occurs asynchronously.
/// - Periodically invoke the update() method on the HttpRequest
/// instance which performs completion notification to HttpHandler
/// objects.
/// - Do completion processing in your onCompletion() method.
///
/// Code fragments.
///
/// Initialization. Rather than a poorly-maintained example in
/// comments, look in the example subdirectory which is a minimal
/// yet functional tool to do GET request performance testing.
/// With four calls:
Monty Brandenberg
committed
///
/// init_curl();
/// LLCore::HttpRequest::createService();
/// LLCore::HttpRequest::startThread();
/// LLCore::HttpRequest * hr = new LLCore::HttpRequest();

/// HttpHandler. Having started life as a non-indra library,
/// this code broke away from the classic Responder model and
/// introduced a handler class to represent an interface for
/// request responses. This is a non-reference-counted entity
/// which can be used as a base class or a mixin. An instance
/// of a handler can be used for each request or can be shared
/// among any number of requests. Your choice but expect to
/// code something like the following:
///
/// class AppHandler : public LLCore::HttpHandler
/// {
/// public:
/// virtual void onCompleted(HttpHandle handle,
/// HttpResponse * response)
/// {
/// ...
/// }
/// ...
/// };
/// ...
/// handler = new handler(...);
///
///
/// Issuing requests. Using 'hr' above,
///
/// hr->requestGet(HttpRequest::DEFAULT_POLICY_ID,
/// 0, // Priority, not used yet
/// url,
/// NULL, // options
/// NULL, // additional headers
/// handler);
///
/// If that returns a value other than LLCORE_HTTP_HANDLE_INVALID,
/// the request was successfully issued and there will eventally
/// be a status delivered to the handler. If invalid is returnedd,
/// the actual status can be retrieved by calling hr->getStatus().
///
/// Completing requests and delivering notifications. Operations
/// are all performed by the worker thread and will be driven to
/// completion regardless of caller actions. Notification of
/// completion (success or failure) is done by calls to
/// HttpRequest::update() which will invoke handlers for completed
/// requests:
///
/// hr->update(0);
/// // Callbacks into handler->onCompleted()
///
///
/// Threads.
///
/// Threads are supported and used by this library. The various
/// classes, methods and members are documented with thread
/// constraints which programmers must follow and which are
/// defined as follows:
///
/// consumer Any thread that has instanced HttpRequest and is
/// issuing requests. A particular instance can only
/// be used by one consumer thread but a consumer may
/// have many instances available to it.
/// init Special consumer thread, usually the main thread,
/// involved in setting up the library at startup.
/// worker Thread used internally by the library to perform
/// HTTP operations. Consumers will not have to deal
/// with this thread directly but some APIs are reserved
/// to it.
/// any Consumer or worker thread.
///
/// For the most part, API users will not have to do much in the
/// way of ensuring thread safely. However, there is a tremendous
/// amount of sharing between threads of read-only data. So when
/// documentation declares that an option or header instance
/// becomes shared between consumer and worker, the consumer must
/// not modify the shared object.
///
/// Internally, there is almost no thread synchronization. During
/// normal operations (non-init, non-term), only the request queue
/// and the multiple reply queues are shared between threads and
/// only here are mutexes used.
