Chapter 2. API Reference
ready in a single buffer. If you wish to send response in incremental chunks use httpd_resp_send_chunk()
instead.
If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content type
as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers :
httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content
Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header
Note
• This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request
pointer is valid.
• Once this API is called, the request has been responded to.
• No additional data can then be sent for the request.
• Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into
separate buffers if they are required later.
Return
• ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet
• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null request pointer
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_HDR : Essential headers are too large for internal buffer
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request
Parameters
• [in] r: The request being responded to
• [in] buf: Buffer from where the content is to be fetched
• [in] buf_len: Length of the buffer, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN to use strlen()
esp_err_t httpd_resp_send_chunk(httpd_req_t *r, const char *buf, ssize_t buf_len)
API to send one HTTP chunk.
This API will send the data as an HTTP response to the request. This API will use chunked-encoding and
send the response in the form of chunks. If you have the entire response contained in a single buffer, please
use httpd_resp_send() instead.
If no status code and content-type were set, by default this will send 200 OK status code and content
type as text/html. You may call the following functions before this API to configure the response headers
httpd_resp_set_status() - for setting the HTTP status string, httpd_resp_set_type() - for setting the Content
Type, httpd_resp_set_hdr() - for appending any additional field value entries in the response header
Note
• This API is supposed to be called only from the context of a URI handler where httpd_req_t* request
pointer is valid.
• When you are finished sending all your chunks, you must call this function with buf_len as 0.
• Once this API is called, all request headers are purged, so request headers need be copied into
separate buffers if they are required later.
Return
• ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet chunk
• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG : Null request pointer
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_HDR : Essential headers are too large for internal buffer
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_RESP_SEND : Error in raw send
• ESP_ERR_HTTPD_INVALID_REQ : Invalid request pointer
Parameters
• [in] r: The request being responded to
• [in] buf: Pointer to a buffer that stores the data
• [in] buf_len: Length of the buffer, HTTPD_RESP_USE_STRLEN to use strlen()
static esp_err_t httpd_resp_sendstr(httpd_req_t *r, const char *str)
API to send a complete string as HTTP response.
This API simply calls http_resp_send with buffer length set to string length assuming the buffer contains a null
terminated string
Return
• ESP_OK : On successfully sending the response packet
