All Responders are derived from ResponderBase, however you normally do never derived from that directly yourself.
Instead, Responder classes are derived from one of:
1. Responder base classes
ResponderHeadersOnly -- Derived classes are used with HTTPClient::head or HTTPClient::getHeaderOnly.
ResponderWithCompleted -- Derived classes implement completed(U32, std::string const&, LLSD const&),
or completedRaw(U32, std::string const&, LLChannelDescriptors const&, buffer_ptr_t const&)
if the response is not (always) LLSD.
ResponderWithResult -- Derived classes implement result(LLSD const&) and optionally
errorWithContent(U32, std::string const&, LLSD const&) OR error(U32, std::string const&).
2. Special base classes
ResponderIgnoreBody -- Same as ResponderWithResult but already implements result() that ignored the body.
LLAssetUploadResponder -- Derived from ResponderWithResult. Base class for responders that upload assets via capabilities.
LegacyPolledResponder -- Used for old code that needs polling (do not use).
There is one non-base class Responder with a more general purpose:
3. Special purpose responders:
ResponderIgnore -- Derived from ResponderIgnoreBody. Used for "fire and forget" requests as it ignores any response.
4. Signatures.
Every final (derived) responder class must implement 'getName(void) const' and 'getHTTPTimeoutPolicy(void)',
except the base classes (this is to alert the developer they have to implement getName as it is pure virtual).
For example:
extern AIHTTPTimeoutPolicy myResponder_timeout; // Add 'P(myResponder)' to indra/llmessage/aihttptimeoutpolicy.cpp.
class MyResponder : public LLHTTPClient::SomeResponderBaseClass {
...
/*virtual*/ AIHTTPTimeoutPolicy const& getHTTPTimeoutPolicy(void) const { return myResponder_timeout; }
/*virtual*/ char const* getName(void) const { return "MyResponder"; }
};
Note the convention that the name of a AIHTTPTimeoutPolicy (what goes between the brackets of P()) is
the class name minus any 'AI' or 'LL' prefix and starting with a lowercase character.
Then, depending on the three main base classes that was derived from, the signatures should be:
class MyResponder1 : public LLHTTPClient::ResponderHeadersOnly {
/*virtual*/ void completedHeaders(U32 status, std::string const& reason, AIHTTPReceivedHeaders const& headers);
// See for example PostImageResponder
...
};
class MyResponder2 : public LLHTTPClient::ResponderWithCompleted {
/*virtual*/ void completedRaw(U32 status, std::string const& reason, LLChannelDescriptors const& channels, buffer_ptr_t const& buffer);
// See for example PostImageRedirectResponder
>>>OR<<<
/*virtual*/ void completed(U32 status, const std::string& reason, const LLSD& content); // See for example LLImportPostResponder
};
class MyResponder3 : public LLHTTPClient::ResponderWithResult {
/*virtual*/ void result(const LLSD& content); // See for example LLInventoryModelFetchItemResponder
/*virtual*/ void error(U32 status, const std::string& reason);
>>>OR instead error()<<<
/*virtual*/ void errorWithContent(U32 status, const std::string& reason, const LLSD& content);
// See for example LLSDMessage::EventResponder
};
Finally, if a responder derived from ResponderWithCompleted or ResponderWithResult needs to process
individual headers, you need to override 'needsHeaders':
/*virtual*/ bool needsHeaders(void) const { return true; } // See for example LLWebProfileResponders::PostImageResponder
// which will cause this to be called:
/*virtual*/ void completedHeaders(U32 status, std::string const& reason, AIHTTPReceivedHeaders const& headers);
And if it needs redirection to work (you'll get an assert if you forget this and it is being redirected):
/*virtual*/ bool followRedir(void) const { return true; } // See for example LLWebProfileResponders::ConfigResponder
This is not necessary for ResponderHeadersOnly because that already defines both.
