fetchStat*(). In most cases, either fetchGet*() or fetchXGet*() is a wrapper around the other; in all cases, calling fetchGet*() is identical to calling fetchXGet*() with the second argument set to NULL.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These functions implement a high-level library for retrieving and
|
|
uploading files using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchParseURL
|
|
takes a URL in the form of a null-terminated string and splits it into
|
|
its components function according to the Common Internet Scheme Syntax
|
|
detailed in RFC1738.
|
|
A regular expression which produces this syntax is:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
<scheme>:(//(<user>(:<pwd>)?@)?<host>(:<port>)?)?/(<document>)?
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that some components of the URL are not necessarily relevant to
|
|
all URL schemes.
|
|
For instance, the file scheme only needs the <scheme>
|
|
and <document> components.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchMakeURL
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchParseURL
|
|
return a pointer to a
|
|
.Fa url
|
|
structure, which is defined as follows in
|
|
.Aq Pa fetch.h :
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define URL_SCHEMELEN 16
|
|
#define URL_USERLEN 256
|
|
#define URL_PWDLEN 256
|
|
|
|
struct url {
|
|
char scheme[URL_SCHEMELEN+1];
|
|
char user[URL_USERLEN+1];
|
|
char pwd[URL_PWDLEN+1];
|
|
char host[MAXHOSTNAMELEN+1];
|
|
int port;
|
|
char *doc;
|
|
off_t offset;
|
|
size_t length;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The pointer returned by
|
|
.Fn fetchMakeURL
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn fetchParseURL
|
|
should be freed using
|
|
.Fn fetchFreeURL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetURL ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetURL ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutURL
|
|
constitute the recommended interface to the
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
library.
|
|
They examine the URL passed to them to determine the transfer
|
|
method, and call the appropriate lower-level functions to perform the
|
|
actual transfer.
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetURL
|
|
also returns the remote document's metadata in the
|
|
.Fa url_stat
|
|
structure pointed to by the
|
|
.Fa us
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument is a string of characters which specify transfer options.
|
|
The
|
|
meaning of the individual flags is scheme-dependent, and is detailed
|
|
in the appropriate section below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchStatURL
|
|
attempts to obtain the requested document's metadata and fill in the
|
|
structure pointed to by it's second argument.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa url_stat
|
|
structure is defined as follows in
|
|
.Aq Pa fetch.h :
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct url_stat {
|
|
off_t size;
|
|
time_t atime;
|
|
time_t mtime;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the size could not be obtained from the server, the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
field is set to -1.
|
|
If the modification time could not be obtained from the server, the
|
|
.Fa mtime
|
|
field is set to the epoch.
|
|
If the access time could not be obtained from the server, the
|
|
.Fa atime
|
|
field is set to the modification time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchListURL
|
|
attempts to list the contents of the directory pointed to by the URL
|
|
provided.
|
|
If successful, it returns a malloced array of
|
|
.Fa url_ent
|
|
structures.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa url_ent
|
|
structure is defined as follows in
|
|
.Aq Pa fetch.h :
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct url_ent {
|
|
char name[MAXPATHLEN];
|
|
struct url_stat stat;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The list is terminated by an entry with an empty name.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The pointer returned by
|
|
.Fn fetchListURL
|
|
should be freed using
|
|
.Fn free .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchXGet ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGet ,
|
|
.Fn fetchPut
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchStat
|
|
are similar to
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetURL ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetURL ,
|
|
.Fn fetchPutURL
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchStatURL ,
|
|
except that they expect a pre-parsed URL in the form of a pointer to
|
|
a
|
|
.Fa struct url
|
|
rather than a string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All of the
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetXXX ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetXXX
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutXXX
|
|
functions return a pointer to a stream which can be used to read or
|
|
write data from or to the requested document, respectively.
|
|
Note that
|
|
although the implementation details of the individual access methods
|
|
vary, it can generally be assumed that a stream returned by one of the
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetXXX
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn fetchGetXXX
|
|
functions is read-only, and that a stream returned by one of the
|
|
.Fn fetchPutXXX
|
|
functions is write-only.
|
|
.Sh FILE SCHEME
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetFile ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetFile
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutFile
|
|
provide access to documents which are files in a locally mounted file
|
|
system.
|
|
Only the <document> component of the URL is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetFile
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchGetFile
|
|
do not accept any flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchPutFile
|
|
accepts the
|
|
.Fa a
|
|
(append to file) flag.
|
|
If that flag is specified, the data written to
|
|
the stream returned by
|
|
.Fn fetchPutFile
|
|
will be appended to the previous contents of the file, instead of
|
|
replacing them.
|
|
.Sh FTP SCHEME
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetFTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetFTP
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutFTP
|
|
implement the FTP protocol as described in RFC959.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
(passive) flag is specified, a passive (rather than active) connection
|
|
will be attempted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa h
|
|
(high) flag is specified, data sockets will be allocated in the high
|
|
port range (see
|
|
.Xr ip 4 ).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa d
|
|
(direct) flag is specified,
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetFTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetFTP
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutFTP
|
|
will use a direct connection even if a proxy server is defined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no user name or password is given, the
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
library will attempt an anonymous login, with user name "ftp" and
|
|
password "ftp".
|
|
.Sh HTTP SCHEME
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetHTTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
|
|
functions implement the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
|
|
With a little luck, there's
|
|
even a chance that they comply with RFC2068.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa d
|
|
(direct) flag is specified,
|
|
.Fn fetchXGetHTTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
|
|
will use a direct connection even if a proxy server is defined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since there seems to be no good way of implementing the HTTP PUT
|
|
method in a manner consistent with the rest of the
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
library,
|
|
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
|
|
is currently unimplemented.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn fetchParseURL
|
|
returns a pointer to a
|
|
.Fa struct url
|
|
containing the individual components of the URL.
|
|
If it is
|
|
unable to allocate memory, or the URL is syntactically incorrect,
|
|
.Fn fetchParseURL
|
|
returns a NULL pointer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fetchStat
|
|
functions return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All other functions return a stream pointer which may be used to
|
|
access the requested document, or NULL if an error occurred.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following error codes are defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa fetch.h :
|
|

|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width HTTP_PROXY_AUTH
|
|
.It Ev FTP_PROXY
|
|
host name of the FTP proxy to use, optionally followed by a port
|
|
number separated from the host name by a colon.
|
|
.It Ev HTTP_AUTH
|
|
Specifies HTTP authorization parameters, used only if the server
|
|
requires authorization and no user name or password was specified in
|
|
the URL.
|
|
The first and second item are the authorization scheme and realm
|
|
respectively; further items are scheme-dependent.
|
|
Currently, only basic authorization is supported.
|
|
Basic authorization requires two parameters: the user name and
|
|
password, in that order.
|
|
.It Ev HTTP_PROXY
|
|
host name of the HTTP proxy to use, optionally followed by a port
|
|
number separated from the host name by a colon.
|
|
If no port number is specified, the default is 3128.
|
|
.It Ev HTTP_PROXY_AUTH
|
|
Specifies authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy in the same
|
|
format as
|
|
.Ev HTTP_AUTH .
|
|
The value of this variable is used if and only if connected to an HTTP
|
|
proxy.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
library first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 3.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm fetch
|
|
library was mostly written by
|
|
.An Dag-Erling Coïdan Smørgrav Aq des@FreeBSD.org
|
|
with numerous suggestions from
|
|
.An Jordan K. Hubbard Aq jkh@FreeBSD.org ,
|
|
.An Eugene Skepner Aq eu@qub.com
|
|
and other FreeBSD developers.
|
|
It replaces the older
|
|
.Nm ftpio
|
|
library written by
|
|
.An Poul-Henning Kamp Aq pkh@FreeBSD.org
|
|
and
|
|
.An Jordan K. Hubbard Aq jkh@FreeBSD.org .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This manual page was written by
|
|
.An Dag-Erling Coïdan Smørgrav Aq des@FreeBSD.org
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Some parts of the library are not yet implemented.
|
|
The most notable
|
|
examples of this are
|
|
.Fn fetchPutHTTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchListHTTP ,
|
|
.Fn fetchListFTP
|
|
and FTP proxy support.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There's no way to select a proxy at run-time other than setting the
|
|
.Ev HTTP_PROXY
|
|
or
|
|
.Ev FTP_PROXY
|
|
environment variables as appropriate.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm libfetch
|
|
does not attempt to interpret and respond to authentication requests
|
|
from the HTTP server or proxy (code 401 and 407 respectively).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm libfetch
|
|
does not understand or obey 305 (Use Proxy) replies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No attempt is made to encode spaces etc. within URLs.
|
|
Spaces in the
|
|
document part of an URLshould be replaced with "%20" in HTTP URLs and
|
|
"\\ " in FTP URLs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Error numbers are unique only within a certain context; the error
|
|
codes used for FTP and HTTP overlap, as do those used for resolver and
|
|
system errors.
|
|
For instance, error code 202 means "Command not
|
|
implemented, superfluous at this site" in an FTP context and
|
|
"Accepted" in an HTTP context.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn fetchStatFTP
|
|
does not check that the result of an MDTM command is a valid date.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The HTTP code needs a complete rewrite, or at least a serious cleanup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The man page is incomplete, poorly written and produces badly
|
|
formatted text.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The error reporting mechanism is unsatisfactory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
