# globus\_xio\_http\_driver\_instance(3)

Opening/Closing - Opening/Closing.

## NAME

globus\_xio\_http\_driver\_instance - Opening/Closing

 \- Opening/Closing.

## SYNOPSIS

## Detailed Description

Opening/Closing.

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.
