Read and respond to a WebSocket HTTP Upgrade request.
template< class ConstBufferSequence, class ResponseDecorator> void accept_ex( ConstBufferSequence const& buffers, ResponseDecorator const& decorator);
This function is used to synchronously read an HTTP WebSocket Upgrade request and send the HTTP response. The call blocks until one of the following conditions is true:
This function is implemented in terms of one or more calls to the next
layer's read_some
and
write_some
functions.
If the stream receives a valid HTTP WebSocket Upgrade request, an HTTP response is sent back indicating a successful upgrade. When this call returns, the stream is then ready to send and receive WebSocket protocol frames and messages. If the HTTP Upgrade request is invalid or cannot be satisfied, an HTTP response is sent indicating the reason and status code (typically 400, "Bad Request"). This counts as a failure.
The implementation uses fixed size internal storage to receive the request.
If the request is too large, the error websocket::buffer_overflow
will be indicated.
Applications that wish to receive larger requests should first read the
request using their own buffer and a suitable overload of http::read
or http::async_read
, then call websocket::stream::accept
or websocket::stream::async_accept
with the request.

Description |
---|---|
|
Caller provided data that has already been received on the stream. The implementation will copy the caller provided data before the function returns. |
|
A function object which will be called to modify the HTTP response object delivered by the implementation. This could be used to set the Server field, subprotocols, or other application or HTTP specific fields. The object will be called with this equivalent signature: void decorator( response_type& res ); |
