-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 -If the URL does not seem to begin with a scheme name, the following -syntax is assumed: -.Bd -literal - ((<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 -.Vt url -structure, which is defined as follows in -.In 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 -.Vt 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 its second argument. -The -.Vt url_stat -structure is defined as follows in -.In 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 -.Vt url_ent -structures. -The -.Vt url_ent -structure is defined as follows in -.In 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 -.Vt 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 -.Ql 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 -.Ql p -(passive) flag is specified, a passive (rather than active) connection -will be attempted. -.Pp -If the -.Ql l -(low) flag is specified, data sockets will be allocated in the low (or -default) port range instead of the high port range (see -.Xr ip 4 ) . -.Pp -If the -.Ql 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 "anonymous" -and password "anonymous@<hostname>". -.Sh HTTP SCHEME -The -.Fn fetchXGetHTTP , -.Fn fetchGetHTTP -and -.Fn fetchPutHTTP -functions implement the HTTP/1.1 protocol. -With a little luck, there is -even a chance that they comply with RFC2616 and RFC2617. -.Pp -If the -.Ql 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 AUTHENTICATION -Apart from setting the appropriate environment variables and -specifying the user name and password in the URL or the -.Vt struct url , -the calling program has the option of defining an authentication -function with the following prototype: -.Pp -.Ft int -.Fn myAuthMethod "struct url *u" -.Pp -The callback function should fill in the -.Fa user -and -.Fa pwd -fields in the provided -.Vt struct url -and return 0 on success, or any other value to indicate failure. -.Pp -To register the authentication callback, simply set -.Va fetchAuthMethod -to point at it. -The callback will be used whenever a site requires authentication and -the appropriate environment variables are not set. -.Pp -This interface is experimental and may be subject to change. -.Sh RETURN VALUES -.Fn fetchParseURL -returns a pointer to a -.Vt 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 -.In fetch.h : -.Bl -tag -width 18n -.It Bq Er FETCH_ABORT -Operation aborted -.It Bq Er FETCH_AUTH -Authentication failed -.It Bq Er FETCH_DOWN -Service unavailable -.It Bq Er FETCH_EXISTS -File exists -.It Bq Er FETCH_FULL -File system full -.It Bq Er FETCH_INFO -Informational response -.It Bq Er FETCH_MEMORY -Insufficient memory -.It Bq Er FETCH_MOVED -File has moved -.It Bq Er FETCH_NETWORK -Network error -.It Bq Er FETCH_OK -No error -.It Bq Er FETCH_PROTO -Protocol error -.It Bq Er FETCH_RESOLV -Resolver error -.It Bq Er FETCH_SERVER -Server error -.It Bq Er FETCH_TEMP -Temporary error -.It Bq Er FETCH_TIMEOUT -Operation timed out -.It Bq Er FETCH_UNAVAIL -File is not available -.It Bq Er FETCH_UNKNOWN -Unknown error -.It Bq Er FETCH_URL -Invalid URL -.El -.Pp -The accompanying error message includes a protocol-specific error code -and message, e.g.\& "File is not available (404 Not Found)" -.Sh ENVIRONMENT -.Bl -tag -width ".Ev FETCH_BIND_ADDRESS" -.It Ev FETCH_BIND_ADDRESS -Specifies a hostname or IP address to which sockets used for outgoing -connections will be bound. -.It Ev FTP_LOGIN -Default FTP login if none was provided in the URL. -.It Ev FTP_PASSIVE_MODE -If set to anything but -.Ql no , -forces the FTP code to use passive mode. -.It Ev FTP_PASSWORD -Default FTP password if the remote server requests one and none was -provided in the URL. -.It Ev FTP_PROXY -URL of the proxy to use for FTP requests. -The document part is ignored. -FTP and HTTP proxies are supported; if no scheme is specified, FTP is -assumed. -If the proxy is an FTP proxy, -.Nm libfetch -will send -.Ql user@host -as user name to the proxy, where -.Ql user -is the real user name, and -.Ql host -is the name of the FTP server. -.Pp -If this variable is set to an empty string, no proxy will be used for -FTP requests, even if the -.Ev HTTP_PROXY -variable is set. -.It Ev ftp_proxy -Same as -.Ev FTP_PROXY , -for compatibility. -.It Ev HTTP_AUTH -Specifies HTTP authorization parameters as a colon-separated list of -items. -The first and second item are the authorization scheme and realm -respectively; further items are scheme-dependent. -Currently, only basic authorization is supported. -.Pp -Basic authorization requires two parameters: the user name and -password, in that order. -.Pp -This variable is only used if the server requires authorization and -no user name or password was specified in the URL. -.It Ev HTTP_PROXY -URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests. -The document part is ignored. -Only HTTP proxies are supported for HTTP requests. -If no port number is specified, the default is 3128. -.Pp -Note that this proxy will also be used for FTP documents, unless the -.Ev FTP_PROXY -variable is set. -.It Ev http_proxy -Same as -.Ev HTTP_PROXY , -for compatibility. -.It Ev HTTP_PROXY_AUTH -Specifies authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy in the same -format as the -.Ev HTTP_AUTH -variable. -.Pp -This variable is used if and only if connected to an HTTP proxy, and -is ignored if a user and/or a password were specified in the proxy -URL. -.It Ev HTTP_REFERER -Specifies the referrer URL to use for HTTP requests. -If set to -.Dq auto , -the document URL will be used as referrer URL. -.It Ev HTTP_USER_AGENT -Specifies the User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests. -This can be useful when working with HTTP origin or proxy servers that -differentiate between user agents. -.It Ev NETRC -Specifies a file to use instead of -.Pa ~/.netrc -to look up login names and passwords for FTP sites. -See -.Xr ftp 1 -for a description of the file format. -This feature is experimental. -.El -.Sh EXAMPLES -To access a proxy server on -.Pa proxy.example.com -port 8080, set the -.Ev HTTP_PROXY -environment variable in a manner similar to this: -.Pp -.Dl HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080 -.Pp -If the proxy server requires authentication, there are -two options available for passing the authentication data. -The first method is by using the proxy URL: -.Pp -.Dl HTTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080 -.Pp -The second method is by using the -.Ev HTTP_PROXY_AUTH -environment variable: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080 -HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd> -.Ed -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr fetch 1 , -.Xr ftpio 3 ,

Hubbard Aq jkh@FreeBSD.org , -.An Eugene Skepner Aq eu@qub.com -and other -.Fx -developers. -It replaces the older -.Nm ftpio -library written by -.An Poul-Henning Kamp Aq phk@FreeBSD.org -and -.An Jordan K. Hubbard Aq jkh@FreeBSD.org . -.Pp -This manual page was written by -.An Dag-Erling Sm\(/orgrav 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 is 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 understand or obey 305 (Use Proxy) replies. -.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 man page is incomplete, poorly written and produces badly -formatted text. -.Pp -The error reporting mechanism is unsatisfactory. -.Pp -Some parts of the code are not fully reentrant. |
