globus_xio_http_driver_instance (3)

An xio handle with the http driver can be created with either globus_xio_handle_create() or globus_xio_server_register_accept(). if the handle is created with globus_xio_server_register_accept(), then an http service handle will be created when globus_xio_register_open() is called. the xio application must call one of the functions in the globus_xio_read() family to receive the http request metadata. this metadata will be returned in the data descriptor associated with that first read: the application should use the globus_xio_http_get_request descriptor cntl to extract this metadata. if the handle is created with globus_xio_handle_create(), then an http client handle will be created when globus_xio_register_open() is called. http request headers, version and method may be chosen by setting attributes.
