http::parser::on_chunk_body

Set a callback to be invoked on chunk body data.

Synopsis
template<
    class Callback>
void
on_chunk_body(
    Callback& cb);
Description

The provided function object will be invoked one or more times to provide buffers corresponding to the chunk body for the current chunk. The callback receives the number of octets remaining in this chunk body including the octets in the buffer provided.

The callback must return the number of octets actually consumed. Any octets not consumed will be presented again in a subsequent invocation of the callback. The implementation type-erases the callback without requiring a dynamic allocation. For this reason, the callback object is passed by a non-constant reference.

Example
auto callback =
    [](std::uint64_t remain, string_view body, error_code& ec)
    {
        //...
    };
parser.on_chunk_body(callback);
Parameters

Name

Description

cb

The function to set, which must be invocable with this equivalent signature:

std::size_t
on_chunk_header(
    std::uint64_t remain,       // Octets remaining in this chunk, includes `body`
    string_view body,           // A buffer holding some or all of the remainder of the chunk body
    error_code& ec);            // May be set by the callback to indicate an error
